I remember the first time I did this. I would look deep into my pupils and feel the connected to inner-source. The more I did this the more I was able work through the deep rooted emotional layers and let them go. If you want to be able to visualize better I recommend using a candle light as the lighting. It will be just light enough to see yourself but will still give you the space to visualize and connect easier. Great video Teal, much love.
Interresting.. I have had years and years where I get up in the morning and spend time in the mirror getting ready for work. I have always lost track of time and almost late to work. The mirror would trigger me into deep thoughts of my past, I put my eyeliner on and catch myself looking into my eyes then quickly look away. I would feel deep pain, so I avoid looking into my own eyes or anybodys eye for that matter. My fear is seeing my painful soul. My husband questioned me not looking into his eyes. I was afraid of seeing the soul. With meditation I'm overcoming these fears. Thank you for the great video 😊🙏❤
She is not lying when she says, "being disconnected from yourself is hell." Depersonalization is the worst thing you could ever feel. Derealization sucks too.
Stay with this process though its entire length, pulling back before it ends may recreate trauma. 1. Go in front of the mirror. 2. Look into yourself, scan for walls that make you feel scared or otherwise reject the situation. 3. If you find walls, approach them with acceptance. If you can't bring yourself to genuinely accept the walls, approach your resistance to them with acceptance first, and assure your resistance that it's ok to have those walls there. Then approach the walls, accept them, acknowledge their reasons to be there, and reassure them that it'll be all right for them to open up for now. Then let them open up. 4. Find a state of mind where you rather observe and see how things are, than to put labels on them. Like, instead of "this and that is bad, this is good" mindset, go to the "I wonder what I'll find here" mindset. 5. Look your reflection into the pupils of their eyes, as if your reflection is another, separate person. 6. Observe what you see, wait and allow the person in the mirror to become open and receptive. Relaxing helps. 7. Once there's an opening, look deeper into the pupils of the eyes and start going through the different layers of the person and see what you find there.
Am I supposed to look on both pupils at once? I cannot do that, I need to choose only one or otherwise my sight is jumping and I loose focus. Any tips on that?
This is THE MOST POWERFUL healing exercise I have ever done. It is SO grounding and strengthening, it's amazing. SOOOOO hard to begin with but I do it every now and then because it just brings sanity and groundedness and reassurance. It is absolutely amazing.
After I practiced this, I could see how disconnected I was from myself before, how much I was missing a comfortable, loving, peaceful space inside .... when I meet people I'm always in a tense and uneasy state, and with this practice, I'm becoming more conscious and asking myself what is making you that tense, what do you afraid of... It's not over though ... .Thank you for all you do Teal, love you so much ♥
Hey Teal :) I just wanted to commend you on your bravery in making this video, I know it wasn't easy; especially at first. So really just wanted to say that you're awesome and that I genuinely feel for you. Beyond sharing a great technique, you lead by example, and I think that's the greatest take away from this video. I'm actually most amazed at how well you continue to progress and serve your purpose amidst all the inner-crap you must constantly go through. It's honestly amazing. So for those times where you might say to yourself "why do I even bother", I just wanted to say that I see you, respect you and acknowledge you :) You're amazing :)
+David Lion Be careful about what you think you're supposed to believe, and what you consider as a truthful fact. Not everything is what it seems when you scratch away the surface. Is it possible that what Teal is saying about what's happening in the mirror is not actually happening for her? Try googling "mirror spells" and "self hypnosis" before you answer me David
best quote from Harry potter to dumbledore after harry dies... harry- "is this real, or is it all in my head?" dumbledore-"of course its in your head, but that doesn't mean it isn't real". the truth is, those layers she talks about, are things we all go through, we cannot run from the fact that we have been injured and abused on some level from our parents, our culture, our world. and no matter how you go into these issues is your choice, to me watching this was witnessing Teals own unique process of healing. which is so Real! we can actually forgive our parents, and those people in our lives that have hurt us, and break the cycle of perpetual abuse, in this life time, and find true peace within ourselves if we can cultivate the courage to find your own unique way of witnessing whats actually happening within you. google that :) hehe
David Lion I did this for the first time. I feel like I came to source or root cause to my internal issues. But I don't know if I have to keep doing this or do I work the source that I think I found.
Dear Teal, I've just had the most intimate and true experience I've ever in coming to understand myself. During the process, I've uncover many layers around 20 or so. Many had to do with pain, disbelieving, distrusting, traumatized, unloved, misunderstood and many other parts of myself. Underneath those layers, I've discovered what's underneath. It's all because of love. Love that was misunderstood, love that was abused, unappreciated, mistrusting, enslaved. Thank you Teal. I wish one day I could meet you and become your student. Thanks for the love.
I had a lot of physical reactions during this process like crying, screaming like a baby. It's like the wounds that haven't been healed since childhood are coming out. It's such an incredible feeling to being to empathize with myself as each layer goes. Truly Amazing
I started watching teal swan the beginning of April and I can honestly say I've gotten so in touch with my higher self. where I used to hate my life, I now love it and see everything so beautiful. teal has saved me from myself. I was destroying myself with negative emotional thoughts and bad behaviors. thank you so much teal. I am most Deffinatly going to do this self love tonight before bed. I love all your videos and appreciate you for the wonderful person you are who is teaching me how to live a wonderful life.
I have to say, that after spending just two weeks listening to Teal's messages and working on my shadow self and fragmented pieces of my soul, I am doing well and feeling so much better. What helped me the most was to realize that the shadow part of me, as well as the devil, was not really an evil entity. Because I believed otherwise, I rejected a part of myself and labeled myself as evil. Teal Swan has shown me that the traditional views of evil versus good have been false, religious propaganda. To all who view her videos, please do not accept the negative comments made about her by so-called spiritual leaders. They are wrong. They put her down because her messages bring up their own fears and devils. Thank you so much, Teal Swan. You are an amazing young woman with a special gift to offer to the world. Blessings of healing to you dear, precious one. Many of us love you and appreciate you.
*Quick tip to any viewer*: The more dilatated the pupils get, more ressonance you'll get. The final stage is the most sublime joy, and it's not exagerate to tell that's a trully ravaging trance of ecstasy. You will be radiating warmth, feeling lightning through the veins, and epiphany-like laughter may get place. *But* it takes guts, so be prepared to face every single trauma, wrong turns and self damage first, and needless to say (but saying anyway): that will be harrrrrrrd if you don't have self knowledge and self control on the daily basis.
This is so helpful. My pupils were changing sizes like crazy when I tried this for a few minutes. I kept waiting for them to stabalize but they didn't really
Correct my pupils were moving in line and i could not see my face. Wow! What experience! Ita really hard to stay with demon and love them. Will i feel it that i passed that stage?
I've been doing this for a few days now and it's fast becoming an essential practice. Today I looked at myself and felt the usual repulsion and a quick descent into feelings of worthlessness and wanting to give up. So I sank into it. I gave up. I owned my worthlessness. And it was incredible how relieved I felt. I realized I was always sensing a lack of being valued by people in my life, but telling myself there was still hope when I knew on a gut level that wasn't true. I gave up and felt like there was no one to impress anymore, so I could do whatever I wanted and be myself, because it didn't matter. They didn't love me and they weren't going to. I could stop trying and live life how I wanted, with who I wanted, no longer chained to people who didn't want me. All this time I ran away from the terrible feeling that I was worthless, but owning that people see me that way set me free. I should have given up years ago!
I've heard of mirror work. It wasn't until this video that I saw that it was more than just cheery affirmations to myself in the mirror. it apparently can get real. I hope I'm ready! thank you Teal Swan, you're truly the spiritual catalyst.
I've been going through counseling because abuse as a child made me disconnect - this is powerful. You are very brave to do this, it has helped me so thank you.
I lovvvveeeee how upfront and vulnerable she is in her videos. Lays it all out in the open and i feel thats what makes her so powerful. She holds very little if anything back no matter how it may come accross to the viewer.
When I was a kid and looked at myself in the mirror for too long, I'd get scared because it felt intense. Now I know I'm ready to try this & I am looking forward to it.
This is an INCREDIBLY powerful practice. Also, NOT for the faint of heart. I am seeing aspects of myself in greater clarity, greater detail, greater emotion, greater feeling and greater compassion and love. HOWEVER, it is NOT EASY! I find I have to go through each layer and be with it completely. No spiritual bypassing! My unconditional love to Miss Swan and her work. Thank you for sharing. It is greatly appreciated.
Absolutely incredible. I intuitively started doing this mirror work a few years ago by candle light and it was truly life changing. It’s remarkable how we instinctively know to do this...yet we often feel that we do not have the tools. This is so powerful. Thank you Teal ❤️
me too, exactly! since I was young I would try this, but it always scared me away real...um creepily. At all sorts of ages, the same creepy stuff, until very recently. I'm not quite ready to integrate that demon that's haunted my mirrors since childhood, but thanks to this video I can now see how to make a productive Working out of the phenomenon
alyanneful: this is what I very recently (March 2019) said, word for word, in a comment to one of Dr. Grande's videos on Narcissism. Strange how it ended up here pretending to have been posted long ago 🤔
Beautiful. I remember looking at the mirror and long time ago and scared myself because of a visual distortion I saw in the mirror. now I know what it was....my self hate.
WHOE! THIS IS AWESOME AND DEEEEP ! IAM GRATEFUL THAT I FOUND THIS. I TOO WAS SEXUALLY ABUSED AS A LITTLE GIRL AND HAVE DISCONNECTED FROM MYSELF.( SELF ABANDONMENT) I HAVE COME A LONG WAY. BUT IT IS TIME TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL. IT IS EASY TO SEE HOW THIS UNDERSTANDING AND EXPERIENCE IS A PERFECT FIT FOR MY MINISTRY TO YOUNG GIRLS AND BROKEN WOMAN. THIS IS AMAZING STUFF ! 💝
Tears of joy are running down my face! I felt sad and disconnected for 20+ years... I was diagnosed with depression with anxiety. I feared I would always have to be on medication my entire life to not feel this sadness. the meds didn't bring me happiness or even the illusion of it. They made me numb and more disconnected from Source. I noticed a few years back that I couldn't look into my own eyes and my reflection seemed almost as if it belonged to someone else. After challenging myself to really see myself and be open to it I began to heal. The deepest darkest places. They just wanted to be seen, and heard. Depression for me was learned. This technique works. But don't take my word for it! :-) I am forever grateful for this life and those helpers along the way, I pray that I can utilize and show what I have learned so that those that come after me know there is hope. One love!
cincigirl1988 hi i have thesame i am building of mij anti depression after use of 20 years end looking end trying for methodes on THE internet may be i Will try dis too gongrets with your suckseeding irene
Everytime i am in need of something. An understanding about myself for example. A teal video with the one thing i have been missing, pops up. Just when i feel that i lost the conection with myself this video comes up. I am so grateful that you published this, thank you so, so much
This is so crazy.. I decided to do this just the other day, and did the ho'oponopono 'I love you, I'm sorry, I forgive you, thank you' for like 10-15 min yesterday.. and then again today. Yesterday I cried like a baby.. tears just streaming. I thought it might be a good way to connect with myself and maybe be a good intro into going deep into certain emotions I tend to reject. So glad you made this video! I had the same blurred vision thing.. and fog thing so it's really neat having experienced this prior to seeing the video. Thanks Teal! You are so sweet and brave for posting this!
Love this. Love Teal. Her energy, her willingness to go deeper, her generosity and genuine concern for other human beings and ability to communicate what she sees and finds. She inspires my spirit, gives me hope.
I thought "I love you" when I first saw this, and didn't know exactly why, just saw you express something that I connected with. Through this process, and through something in another video you made--about healing the emotional body--I found that elusive thing inside myself that I have been dying for, that I have been searching for and loving in other people (and hurting them with) for over 12 years... I feel whole, for the first time in my life, possibly for the first time in my existence. So now I want to say thank you, and I love you, as one human being to another.
To get through of some of the layers, I needed to sing to myself. That was excellent, as I felt like the atmosphere of the songs told much more than I could have imagined...
I can't believe Teal and others have done this with similar experiences, like the distorted/demonic/alien image and feeling of fear. I brushed it off that I was just imagining things. But I doubt this is some kind of mass delusion...I'm so glad to know I'm not crazy. Love you and your videos, Teal.
This practice is not for wimps or to be done half ass because it won't work. This is for the bold courageous, for us to take a stand and let the ego know that we "our true self which is pure light" is in control.. about us reclaiming our authenticity

As long as I can remember the eyes have always been the window to the soul in myself and others. When I am talking to anyone I feel the need to look directly in someone's eyes. Or if no words and only glances passed. I feel like I have to see or know. I get so many different feelings when I do this. At times its almost like i can feel what they feel. I have done this before in the mirror years ago however I did not realize the power in this. Thanks for your work!
I used to try this (mirror meditation) method a lot. you right Teal you can never explain it in a video. There are so many layers of wall. I remember there was that particular day I tried it and I got sooo scared! and I realized just like someone said it before: there is no biggest fear than the fear of the self. I also experience the feeling of being loved and it felt so good like my soul was dancing and smiling. I also saw my dad face on my face which felt weird because I look just like my mom and I experience strangeness something that keep asking me who are you? and I didn't know who I was. Than I felt companionship and it felt overwhelming and complete and I beg it to stay with me and it replies to me that I'm always there. I felt so many things... it's inexplicable, it's intimate, it's naked, it's smooth, it's nice, it's alarming and scary too. But Thank Teal I've not done this for a long time now
This is really intense when the bulk of it is rage like for me , I'm (or used to be almost fully pride driven) I still am but ... Structuring yourself is a process , it's a whole lot of ripping your self apart and building your self up. New habits are easy But ridding yourself of old habits are complicated
Sara V. Honestly this is real communication between people, even if only on the internet, I love reading such things. It's so vulnerable and honest when someone shares such experiences, sharing things society calls "crazy" but are inside ourselves and we so crave them. I think you are a wondeful person and whoever gets to know the real you, is lucky!
I'm kind of speechless about this video. I've been doing this for a while and haven't even realized it. I've seen visual distortions and such, I thought they were other beings inside of me lol. I would send them all to the light and feel a lot of relief like my body relaxing. I've seen myself with a cloud of energy around my aura. It was from school when I was empathing everyone's emotions. It was so strong that I couldn't clearly see myself through it, just a fog. I love doing this, thank you for sharing this experience with me. It was a pleasure Teal
I've been doing an almost identical practice like this for over 5 years and practically daily for the last 2 years. The person who showed to me calls it Mirror Work. It's like journaling but with a much more intimate, physical aspect because you're actually speaking and looking directly at yourself. Lately I've found that I just sit in silence without needing to pressure myself into speaking like I used to. After going through layers of emotions in the past it's become much easier and faster to connect to myself. When I am fully connected to myself through this practice I feel a sense of peace and will often see myself in the mirror as a "light body" where it can start to glow and be more than just a physical person. So I do this practice almost daily and sometimes a few times a day and even for a few hours at times. Even a few minutes in the morning can be a great way connect to myself without the need to deal with anything else in life for that time. It's easily the best practice I've found for connecting to myself or my higher self in a very quick way without a lot of strain on my body.
I relate this to a process one of the swamijis from India. His name is Nityanandha. It's a powerful process for what he call completion. Incompletions are experiences where a part of our consciousness got stuck. When we could see that a fear or any kind of powerlessness we have is from one of those experiences we had as a child or in the past, the powerlessness will melt away..
This is the best video i have "EVER SEEN" for self help, ive tried this prior & had no idea who i was with or even looking at, scarey, numb, disconnected, empty & gave up, so i look forward to your process, to stay there, observe, connect & accept myself unconditionally, i so need & embrace this concept.... Thankyou so much 🙏❤
Hi Teal, I just want to say the more I watch your videos the more I realize how deadly the "force yourself" approach is and how much more love we can give to ourselves. Thank you.
i did this on a whim earlier this year..it was amazing..i had sooo much to say to myself..the key was to see the person on the other side of the mirror as someone else..and you can tell that person all your secrets. its crazy!
So skillful to have such a deep experience while having your eyes open as well as broadcasting the experience!! Love this process, working up the courage to try it soon :)
You are probably the most beautiful woman i have ever seen Teal. When you truly believe that for yourself and are completely monogamous TO YOURSELF i think you'll gain the ability to be the person you want to be in relationships too. Keep going
Thank you. This was incredibly helpful, and I feel more in tune with myself than I ever have in my entire life. I have finally accepted myself, finally began to truly love myself. Thank you for providing the tools necessary in finding a true connection with Self.
Oh Teal, I cried when you were doing this. It really resonated. Thank you so much for not just talking the talk but bravely walking the walk. Thank you so much.
Omg, I’ve known how to do my version of your technique since I was a child (living in abuse)! I never even knew what I knew until you helped me remember! Thank you 🦢
Thank you! this is exactly what I have been doing to connect with my sister (who has become psychotic this last year). I go into a mediation and unconditionally witness these aspects until I get to her soul and then I just "be" with her to remind her of who she really is. I was taught this by ascended master St. Germain at a mental imbalance workshop....Acceptance of all these aspects of ourselves is indeed the path of ascension.
I remember the time when I wasn't doing this exercise and doing some other stuff, I had a conscious thought of "It might be so upsetting to feel and be unsafe when my being encounters with people that causing my safety to feel threatened. And I had something within me that encouraged me to put emphasize on that thought and I tried to search what was that while repeating the thought in my mind such as "I feel sorry about this experience that my being had, I had to feel unsafe while totally being myself there was no other option when I was meeting this life with my authentic self" these thoughts came naturally and I really expressed myself how sorry I am and it clicked something and I started to cry immensely sitting on the floor. My loud crying lasted a few minute and it was totally a release. Teal swan is totally right about saying, most things doesn't even need to be fixed it just needs awareness on it. When I started to cry I knew it wasn't about something hurt me in present moment it was more like a release of an old emotion.
I don't comment, like ever. After seeing this, I know this is THE game changer. Thank you is not enough but I'll say it again, thank you from the bottom of my heart
I was watching this video from a completely external perspective until the part where the idea of being better than believed was mentioned. That stood out to me because it was surprisingly relatable. As for me, I feel like my own spiritual self is higher than I've been led to believe. For a while, I've regarded myself with a very negative outlook. I often desire to be around others, and I almost never get any satisfaction from being around others. That has led me to be apathetic to others and to myself. As such, I see myself as a rat bastard or an insufferable jackass. While I never truly mean that, there's still something to that. The idea of being much more beautiful than I've been led to believe felt almost as if I needed to hear that. Also, I remember the idea of a seemingly infinite void and feeling of comfort within that void. That also felt relatable, as I also feel comfort in the idea of hiding in a vast emptiness. I also remember the idea of a witty happiness that seems better than pure happiness. Even the idea of looking at something ugly that seems to get in the way. That reminds me of one night when I was thinking intensely about myself, and I was brought to tears. On another night, I remember looking into a mirror and somehow visualizing a terrible ugly countenance. With all that in mind, this video has further helped me to believe that we are all related more than we all think.
seein the vid reading the comments and hearing hundreds of echoes of your own life in distant and different voices is profound and bittersweet especially to the most lonely, you stood out in the echo I think we must be long-time students :-D solidarity brother we are not alone, I wonder how things are with the commenters here now, seems I caught on a bit late. I hope peace is at least visiting more often. Though (personal) peace is probably something impossible for people who have a different dimensional awarenesses or sentience (or whatever ;-)) I hope you all found a safe place 💫☮💫 💜🧡💚
I am having such an out of body moment...I could not look at myself in the mirror for the past few years...and I didn't even watch your videos...but all of the sudden yesterday I felt compelled to listen to you...and now I am really enjoying looking in the mirror.
best quote from Harry potter to dumbledore after harry dies... harry- "is this real, or is it all in my head?" dumbledore-"of course its in your head, but that doesn't mean it isn't real". the truth is, those layers she talks about, are things we all go through, we cannot run from the fact that we have been injured and abused on some level from our parents, our culture, our world. and no matter how you go into these issues is your choice, to me watching this was witnessing Teals own unique process of healing. which is so Real! we can actually forgive our parents, and those people in our lives that have hurt us, and break the cycle of perpetual abuse, in this life time, and find true peace within ourselves if we can cultivate the courage to find our own unique way of witnessing whats actually happening inside us.
I couldn’t stop noticing the light around you Teal, I assume it was your aura I was seeing. You’re such a beautiful being; a True Teacher✨Thank you for going through that process in front of us, it must have taken so much strength, you’re amazing🤍
I was until I saw this video. She shows how it's an operation of Love between two "Parts" of the same Being (ourselves), who just have these masks of fear and pain and misunderstanding between them, and, When We Are Ready, to know that this Technique is here to use, once you are Confident enough in your Mastery of Self, your ability to maintain a "Place of Unconditional Acceptance" toward any of Your Parts, no matter what disturbing or petulant stuff they throw at you. So, I totally get you. And DON'T try this UNTIL you feel like you are definitely ready to. Even if that's not for 15 years, you know. Just remember that this tool is here for your Self Integration when you are ready! Peace
I felt sadness, experienced distortion, witnessed viewing ugliness, corpse like images , abandonment and needing to validate and forgive myself for it, falling with somatic feelings of it in my stomach, sleepiness and my eyes closing and then reconnecting to my eyes, then facial experessions of sadness changed to more peace. And i asked if we were ok to end, i felt yes and smiled. I then had to 'use' the bathroom. I felt like i purged. Thank you teal. I have wanted yo do this and your vid allowed me to understand the process more ❤
I could see Teal' s aura which is VERY bright, and within that aura is the shadow of another being, male. Cool. Also, her image went a little distorted between each layer.
If anyone out there can help me to figure out how to get past the only layer I see, being unattractive (this is not about how others see me, it’s about how I see myself, what others think does not affect what I can clearly see) she talks of penetrating all the layers, the ONLY layer I see is how unattractive I am, that’s it. I’m so fucked. I can’t even do this exercise properly.
Don't be scared to something like this, there's a part of you need that's been in unimaginable pain for so long!! Be there for that part of you the same way you'd want someone else to be there for you..
Let me start this by saying I did not expect this to do anything and had not previously had a meditative session that brought results. But this is real so much more so that I could have ever expected. I made it through the first wall witch was horribly scary I really wanted to run but realized it was what I put up to prevent people who don't truly want to know me away. So I loved it and embraced it and thanked it for standing guard for so long and it completely melted. Then I saw in the mirror my hurt self the me who had been the punching bag for myself and others its nose swollen and bruised the forehead thick with bone deposits from all the times he had had his face smashed and in his eyes he had so much hurt but he keeps taking this beating believing it will never end and is the nature of his life. I held him telling him that I was sorry for allowing it and thanking him for his unrelenting strength to have never given up in the face of so so much hurt and he let me thorough... the next wall I met was the darkest black eyes with shadow climbing out from the eyes and up the forehead and I recognized him almost immediately because I had let that part of me surface just the day before because of the hurt I had felt after trying to leave myself more open and loving. This walls job was to try and destroy any one who had hurt the previous wall using any method so much hatred and a twisted sense of Justice drove this wall giving it absurd power but knowing this wall very well I assured him that i was there so I could find ways to prevent the pain and promised him that I would find people he wouldn't have to fight people who would embrace the pain of the second wall. He stepped aside for me to see the 4th wall this wall was an old man filled with wisdom and was extremely familiar I even remember the day he came into existence and the pain tied to that. The day my mother had given up of the relationship with my father and began using me as the emotional substitute venting to me about her issues and holding me at a standard above my father that if I ever let relapse I would be greeted with compleat disgust and totall rejection. Fearing that more than anything I developed the old man he forced maturity and developed a warning system to prevent me from future harm. Realizing that this wall earned me the love of my mother for several years and had realized that if I turned to drugs when I wanted to most I would loose myself to them completely. Feeling so much respect for this wall and fearing what he had been protecting me from gave him the power to set a condition for me as I told him that I was on a path to create a life where he could rest and didn't have to struggle and could still enjoy the youth we have left... He looked me dead in the eye and told me to prove it... the other walls so willing to trust me but with this 4th wall didn't trust myself to go any deeper not till I am ready. The next phase of my life I'm committed to proving to myself that i can survive without the need for so much protection. Once I feel more confident in that I will revisit this wall and put the old man at ease hopefully with enough bravery to face what lies behind it...
Wow... I hope the past 2 years were a success for your old pal and you. I definitely felt him and felt his presence as i read the lines. He is a master but so are you. All the best.
I've been doing this inconsciously till I feel I'm connect with my true self, the source. I'm excited to try this consciously now! Thank you for sharing these precious techniques.
My my my I love this woman..teal is a gift to all of us, truth, light, and love. This exercise gotta to be the most terrifying to face! Boy the layers! I can see her aura changing..May you be blessed forever Teal for much needed work.
Oh how I love divine timing. :) Ive been inspired to do mirror work over the last fortnight and its just been incredible. Now I have another practice to try out. Thankyou Teal so very much for being your brave, authentic self. Im gonna go do it now! :D
Thank you, Teal for who you are and what you are doing ...For years I helped other to get in touch with their higher consciousness... thanks to you and loving friends was reminded that me too with myself needed to turn the attention on me and see my own beauty and self love..Love and Loved
Hi Teal Swan, Please make a video about The Wish for Power and the Fear of Having It I am having issues with this myself, and I would like another individual to give me their perception of this subject. I am wanting power in a lot of aspects and areas in my life, but I don't seem to be able to achieve, or want to achieve that want/desire as I have a big fear of HAVING power and the responsibilities that come with it. If anyone else has the same problem as me, or just want to help me out, please upvote so Teal can see this!!!
Teal, this took a lot of courage and vulnerability to expose yourself in this stripped down way. thank you for being an inspiration and teaching us something so hands on and profound. Beautiful.
My first layer was also like an energetic wall. My next layer was the ugly face, which was warped and distorted. Thank you for this video, Teal. I am excited to continue experiencing myself. Thank you.
+BritzyAsh I recommend you pour water over your forehead and say that you reject all negativity 3 times. This will enhance and attract positivity by accessing subliminal reaches in your mind.
+Greg Williams But doing this excercise, being that the uncomfortable (not negative) images/sensations/feelings that I recieve are being projected by an aspect of myself, wouldn't that excercise basically reinforce rejection of myself? I like the concept. maybe instead of saying "reject all negativity" I would say "embrace all positivity"?
Only about 2 minutes into watching this and had a massive awakening - I realized I stopped doing mirror work years ago for literally facing a tragic experience that occured - while I was doing the work. My appearance only seemed to serve to remind me of how much I was being judged - inside and out. I took no pleasure in seeing myself, especially not my face and I dressed mainly to 'get by'. T/here in lies the deep reason it is said, "Can one face oneself in a mirror?" Thank you for helping me understand what happened and why I pretty much stopped and struggled looking in mirrors ever since. I'm entirely grateful for 'meeting' you Teal Swan and for finding a way through this work 'alone with others' for it is immensely inspiring. I am recalling so many past experiences for leaning into the work - more deeply than ever. 😌💖🙏
I do this often, not in front of a mirror but im mindful with my emotions and that thick layer of grief is something im verry familiar with. It often comes after anger for me.
That's because grief is what lies underneath anger in general. Sadness. Anger is just a capping emotion. Sadness and grief is usually the driving force for anger. The key is just to allow yourself to completely go into that grief, be overwhelmed by it and allow those tears to flow.
Thank you for choosing to be on the planet at this time! I see you and acknowledge you. You are an amazing spiritual leader and teacher! Thank you for leading by being a great example!
I used to do this a long time ago and ask myself "who am i" and I would get so completely lost into a weird state of disconnecting myself with what I believed was me, I felt a separation between all physical things, even my family, and my physical self. It was intriguing but scary cuz I was letting go of everything and detaching from everything I knew, and becoming so alien to myself. But now I want to do this with his method!!
Teal, I want to applaud you. You are so brave to have allowed yourself to be so vulnerable in front of the entire world. Thank you for loving yourself so much as to go in this deep. Thank you for loving us so much. This sounds like short cut. Wow! I am blown away by this. Much appreciation for showing us this process. thank you.
Just. the fact that I don't want to do this is the very reason I need to do this. I am going to do this soon. I cried through the whole video. Thank you for this helpful self-help series. Much love, peace and blessings to you!!!!
Probably my favorite exercise. Thank you so much, Teal🤍 You really are helping me. There really is nothing worse than disconnection from your self. You feel lost and hopeless. THANK YOU.
I cannot find the words to explain how much your videos are helping me to reintegrate myself. For that reason I send you my love. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Bless you.
OMG Teal I've just watched this for the 1st time I'm so sorry for all your pain. I'm so grateful for everything you do. Your parts work video has helped me HUGELY. I can't thank you enough
I remember the first time I did this. I would look deep into my pupils and feel the connected to inner-source. The more I did this the more I was able work through the deep rooted emotional layers and let them go. If you want to be able to visualize better I recommend using a candle light as the lighting. It will be just light enough to see yourself but will still give you the space to visualize and connect easier. Great video Teal, much love.
Hey how long did it take u to connect fully per day ?
*per say
Interresting.. I have had years and years where I get up in the morning and spend time in the mirror getting ready for work. I have always lost track of time and almost late to work. The mirror would trigger me into deep thoughts of my past, I put my eyeliner on and catch myself looking into my eyes then quickly look away. I would feel deep pain, so I avoid looking into my own eyes or anybodys eye for that matter. My fear is seeing my painful soul. My husband questioned me not looking into his eyes. I was afraid of seeing the soul. With meditation I'm overcoming these fears. Thank you for the great video 😊🙏❤
@@TodorTashev you do realise that this is just a fear or belief you hold?
My favorite spiritual youtuber commenting on my other favorite spiritual youtuber's video
She is not lying when she says, "being disconnected from yourself is hell." Depersonalization is the worst thing you could ever feel. Derealization sucks too.
Yes!!
How do you get back to yourself? This method doesn’t makes sense to me. I need something very simple.
It really is a hell 😭
That's for sure. I did this about a year ago I realise I didn't finish at all
Absolutely 💕🙌🏼
Stay with this process though its entire length, pulling back before it ends may recreate trauma.
1. Go in front of the mirror.
2. Look into yourself, scan for walls that make you feel scared or otherwise reject the situation.
3. If you find walls, approach them with acceptance. If you can't bring yourself to genuinely accept the walls, approach your resistance to them with acceptance first, and assure your resistance that it's ok to have those walls there. Then approach the walls, accept them, acknowledge their reasons to be there, and reassure them that it'll be all right for them to open up for now. Then let them open up.
4. Find a state of mind where you rather observe and see how things are, than to put labels on them. Like, instead of "this and that is bad, this is good" mindset, go to the "I wonder what I'll find here" mindset.
5. Look your reflection into the pupils of their eyes, as if your reflection is another, separate person.
6. Observe what you see, wait and allow the person in the mirror to become open and receptive. Relaxing helps.
7. Once there's an opening, look deeper into the pupils of the eyes and start going through the different layers of the person and see what you find there.
Am I supposed to look on both pupils at once? I cannot do that, I need to choose only one or otherwise my sight is jumping and I loose focus. Any tips on that?
Thank you so much for writing all this out. It really helps.
@@deycza you can choose one, Teal said on another video.
Thank you for the summary
Your glowing T
This is THE MOST POWERFUL healing exercise I have ever done. It is SO grounding and strengthening, it's amazing. SOOOOO hard to begin with but I do it every now and then because it just brings sanity and groundedness and reassurance. It is absolutely amazing.
Thank you for the reassurance.
After I practiced this, I could see how disconnected I was from myself before, how much I was missing a comfortable, loving, peaceful space inside .... when I meet people I'm always in a tense and uneasy state, and with this practice, I'm becoming more conscious and asking myself what is making you that tense, what do you afraid of... It's not over though ... .Thank you for all you do Teal, love you so much ♥
I am an Empath and through this video i could feel the emotions you were feeling and it made me cry. You are a wonderful person Teal and we love you
Hey Teal :)
I just wanted to commend you on your bravery in making this video, I know it wasn't easy; especially at first. So really just wanted to say that you're awesome and that I genuinely feel for you. Beyond sharing a great technique, you lead by example, and I think that's the greatest take away from this video.
I'm actually most amazed at how well you continue to progress and serve your purpose amidst all the inner-crap you must constantly go through. It's honestly amazing.
So for those times where you might say to yourself "why do I even bother",
I just wanted to say that I see you, respect you and acknowledge you :)
You're amazing :)
+David Lion Be careful about what you think you're supposed to believe, and what you consider as a truthful fact. Not everything is what it seems when you scratch away the surface. Is it possible that what Teal is saying about what's happening in the mirror is not actually happening for her? Try googling "mirror spells" and "self hypnosis" before you answer me David
best quote from Harry potter to dumbledore after harry dies...
harry- "is this real, or is it all in my head?" dumbledore-"of course its in your head, but that doesn't mean it isn't real".
the truth is, those layers she talks about, are things we all go through, we cannot run from the fact that we have been injured and abused on some level from our parents, our culture, our world. and no matter how you go into these issues is your choice, to me watching this was witnessing Teals own unique process of healing. which is so Real! we can actually forgive our parents, and those people in our lives that have hurt us, and break the cycle of perpetual abuse, in this life time, and find true peace within ourselves if we can cultivate the courage to find your own unique way of witnessing whats actually happening within you. google that :) hehe
Love your comment, bless you 🙏
Greg Williams What is mirror spell!? n why would our mirror cast a spell on us !? 😑😑😑
David Lion I did this for the first time. I feel like I came to source or root cause to my internal issues. But I don't know if I have to keep doing this or do I work the source that I think I found.
Dear Teal, I've just had the most intimate and true experience I've ever in coming to understand myself. During the process, I've uncover many layers around 20 or so. Many had to do with pain, disbelieving, distrusting, traumatized, unloved, misunderstood and many other parts of myself. Underneath those layers, I've discovered what's underneath. It's all because of love. Love that was misunderstood, love that was abused, unappreciated, mistrusting, enslaved. Thank you Teal. I wish one day I could meet you and become your student. Thanks for the love.
I had a lot of physical reactions during this process like crying, screaming like a baby. It's like the wounds that haven't been healed since childhood are coming out. It's such an incredible feeling to being to empathize with myself as each layer goes. Truly Amazing
Thank you for the reassurance.
I started watching teal swan the beginning of April and I can honestly say I've gotten so in touch with my higher self. where I used to hate my life, I now love it and see everything so beautiful. teal has saved me from myself. I was destroying myself with negative emotional thoughts and bad behaviors. thank you so much teal. I am most Deffinatly going to do this self love tonight before bed. I love all your videos and appreciate you for the wonderful person you are who is teaching me how to live a wonderful life.
I have to say, that after spending just two weeks listening to Teal's messages and working on my shadow self and fragmented pieces of my soul, I am doing well and feeling so much better. What helped me the most was to realize that the shadow part of me, as well as the devil, was not really an evil entity. Because I believed otherwise, I rejected a part of myself and labeled myself as evil. Teal Swan has shown me that the traditional views of evil versus good have been false, religious propaganda. To all who view her videos, please do not accept the negative comments made about her by so-called spiritual leaders. They are wrong. They put her down because her messages bring up their own fears and devils. Thank you so much, Teal Swan. You are an amazing young woman with a special gift to offer to the world. Blessings of healing to you dear, precious one. Many of us love you and appreciate you.
Im just here to say how same I feel about what you sad and how much this is true.
she is such a beautiful person for making herself vulnerable to the world like this. thank you very much
That's true...very brave.
*Quick tip to any viewer*: The more dilatated the pupils get, more ressonance you'll get.
The final stage is the most sublime joy, and it's not exagerate to tell that's a trully ravaging trance of ecstasy. You will be radiating warmth, feeling lightning through the veins, and epiphany-like laughter may get place. *But* it takes guts, so be prepared to face every single trauma, wrong turns and self damage first, and needless to say (but saying anyway): that will be harrrrrrrd if you don't have self knowledge and self control on the daily basis.
This is so helpful. My pupils were changing sizes like crazy when I tried this for a few minutes. I kept waiting for them to stabalize but they didn't really
Correct my pupils were moving in line and i could not see my face. Wow! What experience! Ita really hard to stay with demon and love them. Will i feel it that i passed that stage?
Igor Domanski 🎯 💯 👍👏💪 💝
I needed to read this thank you
Thank you.
I've been doing this for a few days now and it's fast becoming an essential practice. Today I looked at myself and felt the usual repulsion and a quick descent into feelings of worthlessness and wanting to give up. So I sank into it. I gave up. I owned my worthlessness. And it was incredible how relieved I felt. I realized I was always sensing a lack of being valued by people in my life, but telling myself there was still hope when I knew on a gut level that wasn't true. I gave up and felt like there was no one to impress anymore, so I could do whatever I wanted and be myself, because it didn't matter. They didn't love me and they weren't going to. I could stop trying and live life how I wanted, with who I wanted, no longer chained to people who didn't want me. All this time I ran away from the terrible feeling that I was worthless, but owning that people see me that way set me free. I should have given up years ago!
This!! Wow! I tried this exercise but i received thoughts from the person in the mirror instead of feelings?? Is that normal?
I felt unconditional love... from myself... this was a wonderful experience. happy I held on until after the distorted phase passed.
now Everytime I see my own eyes I feel love so I would say it worked after one time. I remember this day, I cried
**AweSoMe....CongRaTuLaTioNs.!!** #NaMaSTe 🙏 👑💪 💝
I've heard of mirror work. It wasn't until this video that I saw that it was more than just cheery affirmations to myself in the mirror. it apparently can get real. I hope I'm ready! thank you Teal Swan, you're truly the spiritual catalyst.
I've been going through counseling because abuse as a child made me disconnect - this is powerful. You are very brave to do this, it has helped me so thank you.
right before you said "don't be surprised if you start crying", i started tearing up lol damnit who's cutting onions in here?!
Same
I lovvvveeeee how upfront and vulnerable she is in her videos. Lays it all out in the open and i feel thats what makes her so powerful. She holds very little if anything back no matter how it may come accross to the viewer.
+Christina Im sorry to hear that. I suppose ill tune into your channel.
When I was a kid and looked at myself in the mirror for too long, I'd get scared because it felt intense. Now I know I'm ready to try this & I am looking forward to it.
Teal is a godsend
so you are!
This is an INCREDIBLY powerful practice. Also, NOT for the faint of heart.
I am seeing aspects of myself in greater clarity, greater detail, greater emotion, greater feeling and greater compassion and love. HOWEVER, it is NOT EASY! I find I have to go through each layer and be with it completely. No spiritual bypassing!
My unconditional love to Miss Swan and her work. Thank you for sharing. It is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the push!
Absolutely incredible. I intuitively started doing this mirror work a few years ago by candle light and it was truly life changing. It’s remarkable how we instinctively know to do this...yet we often feel that we do not have the tools. This is so powerful. Thank you Teal ❤️
I've seen those grotesque faces in my own, and previously ran away. I needed to hear this encouragement to push into it.
alyanneful me too
me too, exactly! since I was young I would try this, but it always scared me away real...um creepily. At all sorts of ages, the same creepy stuff, until very recently. I'm not quite ready to integrate that demon that's haunted my mirrors since childhood, but thanks to this video I can now see how to make a productive Working out of the phenomenon
alyanneful: this is what I very recently (March 2019) said, word for word, in a comment to one of Dr. Grande's videos on Narcissism. Strange how it ended up here pretending to have been posted long ago 🤔
Diana Boughner 😒 😵
Beautiful. I remember looking at the mirror and long time ago and scared myself because of a visual distortion I saw in the mirror. now I know what it was....my self hate.
WHOE! THIS IS AWESOME AND DEEEEP ! IAM GRATEFUL THAT I FOUND THIS. I TOO WAS SEXUALLY ABUSED AS A LITTLE GIRL AND HAVE DISCONNECTED FROM MYSELF.( SELF ABANDONMENT) I HAVE COME A LONG WAY. BUT IT IS TIME TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL. IT IS EASY TO SEE HOW THIS UNDERSTANDING AND EXPERIENCE IS A PERFECT FIT FOR MY MINISTRY TO YOUNG GIRLS AND BROKEN WOMAN. THIS IS AMAZING STUFF ! 💝
Tears of joy are running down my face! I felt sad and disconnected for 20+ years... I was diagnosed with depression with anxiety. I feared I would always have to be on medication my entire life to not feel this sadness. the meds didn't bring me happiness or even the illusion of it. They made me numb and more disconnected from Source. I noticed a few years back that I couldn't look into my own eyes and my reflection seemed almost as if it belonged to someone else. After challenging myself to really see myself and be open to it I began to heal. The deepest darkest places. They just wanted to be seen, and heard. Depression for me was learned. This technique works. But don't take my word for it! :-) I am forever grateful for this life and those helpers along the way, I pray that I can utilize and show what I have learned so that those that come after me know there is hope. One love!
cincigirl1988 hi i have thesame i am building of mij anti depression after use of 20 years end looking end trying for methodes on THE internet may be i Will try dis too gongrets with your suckseeding irene
Thank you for sharing this! Hug from Croatia/Sweden.
I am glad that you feel better! Thank you so much for the inspiration. One love!
Everytime i am in need of something. An understanding about myself for example. A teal video with the one thing i have been missing, pops up. Just when i feel that i lost the conection with myself this video comes up. I am so grateful that you published this, thank you so, so much
This is so crazy.. I decided to do this just the other day, and did the ho'oponopono 'I love you, I'm sorry, I forgive you, thank you' for like 10-15 min yesterday.. and then again today. Yesterday I cried like a baby.. tears just streaming. I thought it might be a good way to connect with myself and maybe be a good intro into going deep into certain emotions I tend to reject. So glad you made this video! I had the same blurred vision thing.. and fog thing so it's really neat having experienced this prior to seeing the video. Thanks Teal! You are so sweet and brave for posting this!
jmtchick35 this is such a good idea
jmtchick35 💝 👏 🎯👍💪
Love this. Love Teal. Her energy, her willingness to go deeper, her generosity and genuine concern for other human beings and ability to communicate what she sees and finds. She inspires my spirit, gives me hope.
ian nestor 🎯 💯👏💝 😇
you sound like you know her really well
I thought "I love you" when I first saw this, and didn't know exactly why, just saw you express something that I connected with.
Through this process, and through something in another video you made--about healing the emotional body--I found that elusive thing inside myself that I have been dying for, that I have been searching for and loving in other people (and hurting them with) for over 12 years... I feel whole, for the first time in my life, possibly for the first time in my existence.
So now I want to say thank you, and I love you, as one human being to another.
going to try this. i spent my life avoiding mirrors..💪i can do this. send blessings. sending out and in love
how was it ?
Autumn Hearted Winter Eyed **Uh.....WhY wouLd yoU avoid theM.!???** 😒
💪💪💪👍👍👍😍😍😍
To get through of some of the layers, I needed to sing to myself. That was excellent, as I felt like the atmosphere of the songs told much more than I could have imagined...
BottleofDreams good idea
Irene de vet 💯👍
intuitively I had done this exercise without knowing to get rid of some of my past trauma. It s incredibly powerful
I can't believe Teal and others have done this with similar experiences, like the distorted/demonic/alien image and feeling of fear. I brushed it off that I was just imagining things. But I doubt this is some kind of mass delusion...I'm so glad to know I'm not crazy.
Love you and your videos, Teal.
the first time i really did this my face turned into something demonic. i stopped immediately. to this day i don't think i can face that again.
@@DavidLinn You can do it. It is a side from you wanting love and appreciation. I believe in you!
My goodness this is RAW AUTHENTIC ...amazingly real!!! Teal you are a bold brave women!
This practice is not for wimps or to be done half ass because it won't work. This is for the bold courageous, for us to take a stand and let the ego know that we "our true self which is pure light" is in control.. about us reclaiming our authenticity
It's easy for you to say ,If my face look like yours I would never leave the mirror I would carry one in my pocket.
This is a whole another level of shadow work! It's the realest shadow work. For real.

I loved how vulnerable you were in this video. This is such an amazing practice.
This was so powerful just to watch Teal doing the self love process. I can' t wait to try it myself!
As long as I can remember the eyes have always been the window to the soul in myself and others.
When I am talking to anyone I feel the need to look directly in someone's eyes.
Or if no words and only glances passed.
I feel like I have to see or know.
I get so many different feelings when I do this.
At times its almost like i can feel what they feel.
I have done this before in the mirror years ago however I did not realize the power in this.
Thanks for your work!
I used to try this (mirror meditation) method a lot. you right Teal you can never explain it in a video. There are so many layers of wall. I remember there was that particular day I tried it and I got sooo scared! and I realized just like someone said it before: there is no biggest fear than the fear of the self. I also experience the feeling of being loved and it felt so good like my soul was dancing and smiling. I also saw my dad face on my face which felt weird because I look just like my mom and I experience strangeness something that keep asking me who are you? and I didn't know who I was. Than I felt companionship and it felt overwhelming and complete and I beg it to stay with me and it replies to me that I'm always there. I felt so many things... it's inexplicable, it's intimate, it's naked, it's smooth, it's nice, it's alarming and scary too. But Thank Teal I've not done this for a long time now
This is really intense when the bulk of it is rage like for me , I'm (or used to be almost fully pride driven) I still am but ... Structuring yourself is a process , it's a whole lot of ripping your self apart and building your self up.
New habits are easy
But ridding yourself of old habits are complicated
Sara V. Honestly this is real communication between people, even if only on the internet, I love reading such things. It's so vulnerable and honest when someone shares such experiences, sharing things society calls "crazy" but are inside ourselves and we so crave them. I think you are a wondeful person and whoever gets to know the real you, is lucky!
The tears are flowing and i am feeling like I am seeing myself through teal.
+Elena Tapia me too-that's strange..
+Christina don't worry, I think it's just because at the core we're all basically one... anyway...I'm good :)
Once you felt pain. I felt your pain and teared up. Thank you for being brave and sharing your vulnerability!!
I'm kind of speechless about this video. I've been doing this for a while and haven't even realized it. I've seen visual distortions and such, I thought they were other beings inside of me lol. I would send them all to the light and feel a lot of relief like my body relaxing. I've seen myself with a cloud of energy around my aura. It was from school when I was empathing everyone's emotions. It was so strong that I couldn't clearly see myself through it, just a fog. I love doing this, thank you for sharing this experience with me. It was a pleasure Teal
I've been doing an almost identical practice like this for over 5 years and practically daily for the last 2 years. The person who showed to me calls it Mirror Work. It's like journaling but with a much more intimate, physical aspect because you're actually speaking and looking directly at yourself. Lately I've found that I just sit in silence without needing to pressure myself into speaking like I used to. After going through layers of emotions in the past it's become much easier and faster to connect to myself. When I am fully connected to myself through this practice I feel a sense of peace and will often see myself in the mirror as a "light body" where it can start to glow and be more than just a physical person. So I do this practice almost daily and sometimes a few times a day and even for a few hours at times. Even a few minutes in the morning can be a great way connect to myself without the need to deal with anything else in life for that time. It's easily the best practice I've found for connecting to myself or my higher self in a very quick way without a lot of strain on my body.
Watching this made me cry dangit.
Respect for doing that so publicly, Teal.
I relate this to a process one of the swamijis from India. His name is Nityanandha. It's a powerful process for what he call completion. Incompletions are experiences where a part of our consciousness got stuck. When we could see that a fear or any kind of powerlessness we have is from one of those experiences we had as a child or in the past, the powerlessness will melt away..
i did it and it was beautiful and releasing. thank u teal. my innerself has found myself and now i will never be alone
Thank you for the reassurance.
This is the best video i have "EVER SEEN" for self help, ive tried this prior & had no idea who i was with or even looking at, scarey, numb, disconnected, empty & gave up, so i look forward to your process, to stay there, observe, connect & accept myself unconditionally, i so need & embrace this concept....
Thankyou so much 🙏❤
You are so courageous to model this for us. What a delightful treasure you are. Thank you for the encouragement!
Hi Teal, I just want to say the more I watch your videos the more I realize how deadly the "force yourself" approach is and how much more love we can give to ourselves. Thank you.
i did this on a whim earlier this year..it was amazing..i had sooo much to say to myself..the key was to see the person on the other side of the mirror as someone else..and you can tell that person all your secrets. its crazy!
I agree!! Such an amazing exercise!
Just tried it. Oh my! I was needing that reconnection! I hope to be able to do it again when necessary. Thanks for all the great content Teal! Love!
So skillful to have such a deep experience while having your eyes open as well as broadcasting the experience!! Love this process, working up the courage to try it soon :)
You are probably the most beautiful woman i have ever seen Teal.
When you truly believe that for yourself and are completely monogamous TO YOURSELF i think you'll gain the ability to be the person you want to be in relationships too.
Keep going
Thank you. This was incredibly helpful, and I feel more in tune with myself than I ever have in my entire life. I have finally accepted myself, finally began to truly love myself. Thank you for providing the tools necessary in finding a true connection with Self.
Just did this and balled my eyes out. I love myself so much now, much more than I did before ❤️
Thank you for being so brave ❤ I try not to see myself in the mirror..I always have judgment so I ignore mirrors. I will definitely do this exercise.
Oh Teal, I cried when you were doing this. It really resonated. Thank you so much for not just talking the talk but bravely walking the walk. Thank you so much.
Omg, I’ve known how to do my version of your technique since I was a child (living in abuse)! I never even knew what I knew until you helped me remember! Thank you 🦢
Thank you! this is exactly what I have been doing to connect with my sister (who has become psychotic this last year). I go into a mediation and unconditionally witness these aspects until I get to her soul and then I just "be" with her to remind her of who she really is. I was taught this by ascended master St. Germain at a mental imbalance workshop....Acceptance of all these aspects of ourselves is indeed the path of ascension.
One of the most helpful videos on the internet. Thank you so much, Teal Swan 👑🙏❤️
I remember the time when I wasn't doing this exercise and doing some other stuff, I had a conscious thought of "It might be so upsetting to feel and be unsafe when my being encounters with people that causing my safety to feel threatened. And I had something within me that encouraged me to put emphasize on that thought and I tried to search what was that while repeating the thought in my mind such as "I feel sorry about this experience that my being had, I had to feel unsafe while totally being myself there was no other option when I was meeting this life with my authentic self" these thoughts came naturally and I really expressed myself how sorry I am and it clicked something and I started to cry immensely sitting on the floor. My loud crying lasted a few minute and it was totally a release. Teal swan is totally right about saying, most things doesn't even need to be fixed it just needs awareness on it. When I started to cry I knew it wasn't about something hurt me in present moment it was more like a release of an old emotion.
Self love challenge day 3. This is deep and healing. Thank you Teal.🥰🥰🥰
I don't comment, like ever. After seeing this, I know this is THE game changer. Thank you is not enough but I'll say it again, thank you from the bottom of my heart
I was watching this video from a completely external perspective until the part where the idea of being better than believed was mentioned. That stood out to me because it was surprisingly relatable. As for me, I feel like my own spiritual self is higher than I've been led to believe. For a while, I've regarded myself with a very negative outlook. I often desire to be around others, and I almost never get any satisfaction from being around others. That has led me to be apathetic to others and to myself. As such, I see myself as a rat bastard or an insufferable jackass. While I never truly mean that, there's still something to that. The idea of being much more beautiful than I've been led to believe felt almost as if I needed to hear that. Also, I remember the idea of a seemingly infinite void and feeling of comfort within that void. That also felt relatable, as I also feel comfort in the idea of hiding in a vast emptiness. I also remember the idea of a witty happiness that seems better than pure happiness. Even the idea of looking at something ugly that seems to get in the way. That reminds me of one night when I was thinking intensely about myself, and I was brought to tears. On another night, I remember looking into a mirror and somehow visualizing a terrible ugly countenance. With all that in mind, this video has further helped me to believe that we are all related more than we all think.
seein the vid reading the comments and hearing hundreds of echoes of your own life in distant and different voices is profound and bittersweet especially to the most lonely, you stood out in the echo I think we must be long-time students :-D solidarity brother we are not alone, I wonder how things are with the commenters here now, seems I caught on a bit late. I hope peace is at least visiting more often. Though (personal) peace is probably something impossible for people who have a different dimensional awarenesses or sentience (or whatever ;-)) I hope you all found a safe place 💫☮💫 💜🧡💚
I cried watching this. can't wait to try it. I'm not afraid.
" I am not the person people have been telling me I am" that hit home for me
Holy Holy Holy. Praise You Miss Teal. You're The Bravest Human Being In The World. Hosanna In The Highest.
Christina I worship Teal and I'll accept the consequences. Thank you.
you are jealouse
LOL Too funny!
I am having such an out of body moment...I could not look at myself in the mirror for the past few years...and I didn't even watch your videos...but all of the sudden yesterday I felt compelled to listen to you...and now I am really enjoying looking in the mirror.
best quote from Harry potter to dumbledore after harry dies...
harry- "is this real, or is it all in my head?" dumbledore-"of course its in your head, but that doesn't mean it isn't real".
the truth is, those layers she talks about, are things we all go through, we cannot run from the fact that we have been injured and abused on some level from our parents, our culture, our world. and no matter how you go into these issues is your choice, to me watching this was witnessing Teals own unique process of healing. which is so Real! we can actually forgive our parents, and those people in our lives that have hurt us, and break the cycle of perpetual abuse, in this life time, and find true peace within ourselves if we can cultivate the courage to find our own unique way of witnessing whats actually happening inside us.
Alex WB 🎯 👍💯💪👏💝😇
I couldn’t stop noticing the light around you Teal, I assume it was your aura I was seeing. You’re such a beautiful being; a True Teacher✨Thank you for going through that process in front of us, it must have taken so much strength, you’re amazing🤍
This shows a lot of vunearablity. I really appreciate and respect that about you Teal.
Damaged empath but started feeling immense amount of pain before you said sadness. Your videos are helping me in my darkest. Thank you!
I'm scared to do this
me too, me too...
Scared of yourself?
Esther Hecker That's natural
Ultra BoBo That has nothing to do with the comment
I was until I saw this video. She shows how it's an operation of Love between two "Parts" of the same Being (ourselves), who just have these masks of fear and pain and misunderstanding between them, and, When We Are Ready, to know that this Technique is here to use, once you are Confident enough in your Mastery of Self, your ability to maintain a "Place of Unconditional Acceptance" toward any of Your Parts, no matter what disturbing or petulant stuff they throw at you.
So, I totally get you.
And DON'T try this UNTIL you feel like you are definitely ready to. Even if that's not for 15 years, you know. Just remember that this tool is here for your Self Integration when you are ready!
Peace
I felt sadness, experienced distortion, witnessed viewing ugliness, corpse like images , abandonment and needing to validate and forgive myself for it, falling with somatic feelings of it in my stomach, sleepiness and my eyes closing and then reconnecting to my eyes, then facial experessions of sadness changed to more peace. And i asked if we were ok to end, i felt yes and smiled.
I then had to 'use' the bathroom. I felt like i purged.
Thank you teal. I have wanted yo do this and your vid allowed me to understand the process more ❤
I could see Teal' s aura which is VERY bright, and within that aura is the shadow of another being, male. Cool. Also, her image went a little distorted between each layer.
I saw that too. where did she learn all this???
@@HeatherHAndres I'm betting she taught herself intuitively
AbsolutelyNanaSilverware 😵 😇 **VeRy cooL.!!**
She is definitely a healer , probably why you see her aura being green
If anyone out there can help me to figure out how to get past the only layer I see, being unattractive (this is not about how others see me, it’s about how I see myself, what others think does not affect what I can clearly see) she talks of penetrating all the layers, the ONLY layer I see is how unattractive I am, that’s it. I’m so fucked. I can’t even do this exercise properly.
Don't be scared to something like this, there's a part of you need that's been in unimaginable pain for so long!! Be there for that part of you the same way you'd want someone else to be there for you..
Let me start this by saying I did not expect this to do anything and had not previously had a meditative session that brought results. But this is real so much more so that I could have ever expected. I made it through the first wall witch was horribly scary I really wanted to run but realized it was what I put up to prevent people who don't truly want to know me away. So I loved it and embraced it and thanked it for standing guard for so long and it completely melted. Then I saw in the mirror my hurt self the me who had been the punching bag for myself and others its nose swollen and bruised the forehead thick with bone deposits from all the times he had had his face smashed and in his eyes he had so much hurt but he keeps taking this beating believing it will never end and is the nature of his life. I held him telling him that I was sorry for allowing it and thanking him for his unrelenting strength to have never given up in the face of so so much hurt and he let me thorough... the next wall I met was the darkest black eyes with shadow climbing out from the eyes and up the forehead and I recognized him almost immediately because I had let that part of me surface just the day before because of the hurt I had felt after trying to leave myself more open and loving. This walls job was to try and destroy any one who had hurt the previous wall using any method so much hatred and a twisted sense of Justice drove this wall giving it absurd power but knowing this wall very well I assured him that i was there so I could find ways to prevent the pain and promised him that I would find people he wouldn't have to fight people who would embrace the pain of the second wall. He stepped aside for me to see the 4th wall this wall was an old man filled with wisdom and was extremely familiar I even remember the day he came into existence and the pain tied to that. The day my mother had given up of the relationship with my father and began using me as the emotional substitute venting to me about her issues and holding me at a standard above my father that if I ever let relapse I would be greeted with compleat disgust and totall rejection. Fearing that more than anything I developed the old man he forced maturity and developed a warning system to prevent me from future harm. Realizing that this wall earned me the love of my mother for several years and had realized that if I turned to drugs when I wanted to most I would loose myself to them completely. Feeling so much respect for this wall and fearing what he had been protecting me from gave him the power to set a condition for me as I told him that I was on a path to create a life where he could rest and didn't have to struggle and could still enjoy the youth we have left... He looked me dead in the eye and told me to prove it... the other walls so willing to trust me but with this 4th wall didn't trust myself to go any deeper not till I am ready. The next phase of my life I'm committed to proving to myself that i can survive without the need for so much protection. Once I feel more confident in that I will revisit this wall and put the old man at ease hopefully with enough bravery to face what lies behind it...
Allister, your comment is incredibly moving. Thank you for sharing it
Wow... I hope the past 2 years were a success for your old pal and you. I definitely felt him and felt his presence as i read the lines. He is a master but so are you. All the best.
I've been doing this inconsciously till I feel I'm connect with my true self, the source. I'm excited to try this consciously now! Thank you for sharing these precious techniques.
And this video pops up right when I need it most. Thank you Teal
My my my I love this woman..teal is a gift to all of us, truth, light, and love. This exercise gotta to be the most terrifying to face! Boy the layers! I can see her aura changing..May you be blessed forever Teal for much needed work.
Oh how I love divine timing. :) Ive been inspired to do mirror work over the last fortnight and its just been incredible. Now I have another practice to try out. Thankyou Teal so very much for being your brave, authentic self. Im gonna go do it now! :D
Thank you, Teal for who you are and what you are doing ...For years I helped other to get in touch with their higher consciousness... thanks to you and loving friends was reminded that me too with myself needed to turn the attention on me and see my own beauty and self love..Love and Loved
Hi Teal Swan,
Please make a video about The Wish for Power and the Fear of Having It
I am having issues with this myself, and I would like another individual to give me their perception of this subject.
I am wanting power in a lot of aspects and areas in my life, but I don't seem to be able to achieve, or want to achieve that want/desire as I have a big fear of HAVING power and the responsibilities that come with it.
If anyone else has the same problem as me, or just want to help me out, please upvote so Teal can see this!!!
I too am dealing with this!! I was thinking about this recently.
Teal, this took a lot of courage and vulnerability to expose yourself in this stripped down way. thank you for being an inspiration and teaching us something so hands on and profound. Beautiful.
My first layer was also like an energetic wall. My next layer was the ugly face, which was warped and distorted. Thank you for this video, Teal. I am excited to continue experiencing myself. Thank you.
+BritzyAsh I recommend you pour water over your forehead and say that you reject all negativity 3 times. This will enhance and attract positivity by accessing subliminal reaches in your mind.
+Greg Williams But doing this excercise, being that the uncomfortable (not negative) images/sensations/feelings that I recieve are being projected by an aspect of myself, wouldn't that excercise basically reinforce rejection of myself? I like the concept. maybe instead of saying "reject all negativity" I would say "embrace all positivity"?
but you're good looking...if that's you in the picture.
Only about 2 minutes into watching this and had a massive awakening -
I realized I stopped doing mirror work years ago for literally facing a tragic experience that occured -
while I was doing the work.
My appearance only seemed to serve to remind me of how much I was being judged - inside and out.
I took no pleasure in seeing myself, especially not my face and I dressed mainly to 'get by'.
T/here in lies the deep reason it is said,
"Can one face oneself in a mirror?"
Thank you for helping me understand what happened and why I pretty much stopped and struggled looking in mirrors ever since.
I'm entirely grateful for 'meeting' you Teal Swan and for finding a way through this work 'alone with others' for it is immensely inspiring. I am recalling so many past experiences for leaning into the work - more deeply than ever. 😌💖🙏
I do this often, not in front of a mirror but im mindful with my emotions and that thick layer of grief is something im verry familiar with. It often comes after anger for me.
That's because grief is what lies underneath anger in general. Sadness. Anger is just a capping emotion. Sadness and grief is usually the driving force for anger. The key is just to allow yourself to completely go into that grief, be overwhelmed by it and allow those tears to flow.
yes hehe
Thank you for choosing to be on the planet at this time! I see you and acknowledge you. You are an amazing spiritual leader and teacher! Thank you for leading by being a great example!
I used to do this a long time ago and ask myself "who am i" and I would get so completely lost into a weird state of disconnecting myself with what I believed was me, I felt a separation between all physical things, even my family, and my physical self. It was intriguing but scary cuz I was letting go of everything and detaching from everything I knew, and becoming so alien to myself. But now I want to do this with his method!!
this*
Teal, I want to applaud you. You are so brave to have allowed yourself to be so vulnerable in front of the entire world. Thank you for loving yourself so much as to go in this deep. Thank you for loving us so much. This sounds like short cut. Wow! I am blown away by this. Much appreciation for showing us this process. thank you.
true bravery.
This is so vulnerable to make practical on camera like she does it's amazing I love her for that
This is so so smart!!!!
i will definitely do this
Just. the fact that I don't want to do this is the very reason I need to do this. I am going to do this soon. I cried through the whole video. Thank you for this helpful self-help series. Much love, peace and blessings to you!!!!
It is scary...I judge myself way to much...
Probably my favorite exercise. Thank you so much, Teal🤍 You really are helping me. There really is nothing worse than disconnection from your self. You feel lost and hopeless. THANK YOU.
Thank you for your courage and your service Teal!
I cannot find the words to explain how much your videos are helping me to reintegrate myself. For that reason I send you my love. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Bless you.
Holy f** this was incredible
OMG Teal I've just watched this for the 1st time I'm so sorry for all your pain. I'm so grateful for everything you do. Your parts work video has helped me HUGELY. I can't thank you enough
