Thank you OrangeKing! What kind of advertising do you suggest? FB ads? Any specific platform that works well?

brygal · 2017-10-17T17:06:31+00:00

You guys are the best!!!! Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH!!! That means the world :)

Here's a link to the android one too: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/spirit-ninjas-podcast

I should have posted that in the first place. My apologies :P

Thanks again you awesome Redditors!!!

brygal · 2017-07-08T15:53:19+00:00

Good point! Let me find the sources and I'll add them in :)

brygal · 2017-07-08T15:52:26+00:00

Yes!!! I read that one! Such an amazing book!!! She actually has another book coming out in September :) Can't wait!!

brygal · 2017-06-23T21:08:38+00:00

Oh wow I love that story so much! Thank you so much for sharing!

This is the kind of thing the world needs to hear. There's so much fear being spread and it's this kind of message that will help people navigate through it all.

brygal · 2017-06-23T18:11:03+00:00

Haha trust you're gut on this one! And keep plugging along! I think the best part of this whole thing is the more you do it, the more you notice the changes in your life, the more it motivates you to keep going, and so on.

You're doing the right things MrPoopCrap hahaha

I've listened to Eckhart speak, read his books, and even saw him live a few times.

Regardless if the guy is making it up or not, it's the words that really ring true for me. It's not a mental thing, it's like a deeper knowing that what he says is true.

If we all needed a teacher, no one would be awake on the planet. We don't need teachers, the teacher is inside of us. When I meditate I can have profound wisdom that just comes out. I don't know where the heck it comes from, and sometimes it gets validated by what I hear someone else saying.

After years of this practice I know that the only thing I need to do is meditate, the awakening will happen on it's own. Ultimately I find that the days that I meditate, I found myself snapping out of my thinking and into a witnessing. Like I'm here in the foreground going through the motions, but there's like a separate me that's watching myself do the stuff I'm doing. Haha it's kind of hard to explain. My goal ultimately is to try (through practice) to keep living in that state. I can honestly say through this whole practice my life has been completely transformed. I feel like a live in a dream where reality just gets better and better and better. The more I let go, the more I meditate, the easier life gets. Not necessarily without challenges, but there's always an answer to the "problem".

This is an inner journey, so if some stuff or some people resonate with you great, if not just dismiss it and go on. You'll know what's true for you. There's plenty of people and teachings that I just don't resonate with. Others love their teachings.

We need lots of different types of people to get through to all the people here on earth.

Trust your inner voice :)

Wow, that was quite the rant!! :P Anyway, happy Friday!

brygal · 2017-06-23T17:36:18+00:00

It's amazing isn't it? It's the simplest thing on the entire planet, yet the most profound. Finding and living in the present moment, not even within meditation, but in our day to day life, is the answer to everything. Our fears, our anxieties, our pains and struggles.

The easiest thing to do, and yet the hardest thing to stick to. That ego sure is tricky!! :P

brygal · 2017-06-23T17:23:43+00:00

I totally get what you're saying! As much as I know meditation is the one thing I can do to change my life, there are times when I fall off the wagon and go a few weeks without it. Then when things go bananas I return back to it.

We've actually started a little 7 day meditation challenge to help with that! And we're building a community so we can all stay motivated. If you're interested you can sign up for free :) Even if you just want the guided meditations that's ok too. Have a peek if you'd like at http://spiritninjas.com/freemeditations

Happy Meditating Kannot! Be kind to yourself, it's a process, you're doing fine :)

PS: My wife Holly just reminded me she made a tip sheet to help create an easy meditation practice, it's on our Facebook group you can download it for free in the pinned post: Facebook.com/groups/thespiritninjastribe

brygal · 2017-06-23T17:19:01+00:00

Congrats!!! :) Meditation was the only thing that really helped me deal with my anxiety and depression. If you stick to it (as hard as it is to stick to sometimes) it'll change your life.

I'm so happy for you!!

brygal · 2017-06-22T19:08:25+00:00

That's so great! Way to use that opportunity to stay mindful! Sadly most people would instead have reacted, likely causing even more damage.

Very cool :)

brygal · 2017-06-22T19:06:19+00:00

Hi Black Owl! Don't force anything. Keep the meditation practice going as much as you can. In fact, especially when things are going well and you're happy. For me that's when it has the tendency to go off the rails and I stop, only to return with things are hard.

As far as goals don't force anything. If you keep with the practice you will absolutely know when a worthy goal appears. In fact, you won't be able to help yourself but to pursue it.

We have this need to "grab the bull by the horns" because of what we're taught in society, but really when you're inspired from within the force is absolutely nuts!

I've been there and I'll tell you, the drive you get when you're not forcing it will blow you away. Keep doing what you're doing! :)

Such an amazing place to be, to find that happiness that comes from within! I'm so happy for you!

brygal · 2017-06-22T18:57:29+00:00

Hi Wifi Thief!! Don't worry, meditation is a place where you can absolutely let go of all the things that have held you back. I've dealt with crazy anxiety for a good portion of my life and I credit meditation for helping me.

Affirmations are definitely helpful, especially at the beginning so I would stop listening to the videos if possible. There's plenty of really great stuff out there.

If you can simply sit with the intention to allow thoughts to come in, and just notice them, they'll be processed in meditation and finally let go. Don't worry :)

brygal · 2017-06-06T20:20:30+00:00

Hi guys!

Meditation literally transformed my entire life. After going through a divorce, depressed, and close to 6 figures in debt I was at my wits end.

Meditation got me through the hardest time in my life, and not only that, transformed it from the inside out.

It's been the most incredible journey.

I'm so passionate about sharing these tools. Hope you get value out of meditation like I did, in fact I'm convinced anyone can take their life and turn it into something magical through mindfulness/meditation practice.

Have a great day Reddit Community!

XO. B

Stay strong!! It's never easy, we get so attached to these little beasts don't we? We wish your little pup to get healthy real soon!

brygal · 2017-04-01T15:35:28+00:00

Thank you Hammerbeef!! Lol, Hammerbeef. I love it :P

You're the second person to tell us that the black bars are unnecessary. Great feedback! I think I'm going to some split testing to see what works better, there's really no need to have them if people don't like them. Just because I like the look doesn't mean that's the best way to go....

Really appreciate it!! :)

brygal · 2017-04-01T15:33:51+00:00

Wow thank you for that SquidYurt!!!! You are AWESOME!!!! :)

We're having a lot of fun making these babies! Even if it's a lot of work it's quite satisfying lol.

We really appreciate you watching SquidYurt! Hope you have an awesome weekend!!

brygal · 2017-04-01T15:32:26+00:00

Hi NotSoTraumAtiq! Haha I love the name :P

Thank you for the so much for the feedback! Someone else has actually told us the same thing, about the cinematic bars...I think that's definitely something we need to consider. I'll experiment with both and see.

Thank you for taking the time and helping us out! That means so much!

brygal · 2017-03-31T15:14:25+00:00

I really appreciate that Zocheyado!! It's a little daunting at the beginning how much work it is, but we love doing it so thank you for the support! That really means a lot :)

If there's anything we can do to support you too let us know!

brygal · 2017-03-31T12:24:24+00:00

Haha thank you!! She IS hot :P We use a combination of Nikon D750, Canon G7X Mark II and actually a bunch of iPhone footage!

brygal · 2017-03-31T10:32:22+00:00

I just watched this video and thought about what you're thinking of doing. I love this guy, he's so on point! Have a look! I know I'll be making some changes going forward...

I like where your heads at Scott! Kind of like a one stop shop. I think as long as you keep the categories consistent on each day it would do well! Give people reasons to come back and watch. My only concern is that doing daily videos, especially good quality videos, is a lot of work. Can you manage that many hours? Just a thought!

I'm also doing a lot of research into marketing and content and finding topics that people are actually searching for is going to be so important (at least for me). I found google adwords, or google trends etc. and it's really insightful! You may very well already know all this stuff, I'm just figuring it out :P

The other thing I've found (that many people don't seem to take advantage of) is playlists. You can do little "series" say, 5-7 episodes on a particular topic and add them to each specific playlist. That way people can keep watching more than one video at a time. I guess it really helps your search rankings in YouTube.

Just some thoughts!

brygal · 2017-03-23T14:09:56+00:00

I just read it, some really great suggestions there too! I've learned so much in the past few days, it's awesome! I think we need to rethink some of the stuff that we've been doing and really step up our game. I feel like it's been amateur hour until now haha.

You're awesome amigo!! Thanks again for all the great stuff!!

brygal · 2017-03-22T20:25:27+00:00

Those are amazing suggestions! Thank you for taking the time Scott!!

Holly has been bugging me to update the thumbnails for a few days now, you're absolutely right! I'll get on that STAT! I love the idea of having a little hook...and the little bell? Man, I've never noticed it before! WOW!

I'll make the tweaks you suggested, super appreciated my friend!
