Hi Maple ! I recently took a job where I make a bit less but have much lower stress. I'm comfortable enough to do it & I'm happy with my decision. My purpose might seem silly but its my 2 12 year old cats. They have been so good to me & I treasure them both & enjoy their antics everyday. Thanks for the excellent presentation Maple & Goodnight 🌙
it's funny how I took an 8 moths mindfulness course, but nothing ispired me to get in touch with my inner and higher self more than you, Rachel. Thank you for sharing your wsidom and inspiring me and all the many other people who love your work!
It's so important to find people/things that resonate with you personally when it comes to wellness. I had struggled to get into fitness so many times, with so many different routines and challenges and videos, but none of them would ever stick. But when I actually found something I connected with, something clicked in me and now I actually enjoy working out! If it feels like a chore every time we do it, we're just going to drop it the first time we misstep. Glad I was able to inspire you Vale!
I was deeply touched when I heard you introduce yourself with your real name. I can only imagine how much vulnerability and courage this required! Nice to meet you, Rachel 😊 and thanks for sharing your learnings!
Hey dear friend, I'm sorry it took me so long to comment, but between the pain and recovery I wanted to think clearly. This was beyond beautiful, beyond inspiring. Not only did your introduction tug at my heart strings, but the fact that you acknowledged that we are all playing a game that we weren't asked to is so vindicating. And how you encourage everyone to take control gently but firmly makes me think that even someone as old as I am still has hope. Thank you for everything, for your kindness, your willingness to relate, and for how you value resonance. It's nice to meet you, too. Big hugs.
This is INCREDIBLE. This spoke to me in so many powerful ways. I’d need to write you a ten page letter to even begin to say what I got out of this. I’m so proud of you and inspired by you. At the end I was smiling with tears in my eyes. 🥲 thank you Rachel!🙏🫶
Oh I love that! Honestly this has come full circle, because when I think about being vulnerable in a video, I always think back to a video I had seen of yours a long time back. You had teared up during it, and I remember thinking how courageous that was, especially with all the stigma against men being emotionally vulnerable. So thank you for all you've done to inspire me as well my bestie 💛
@@MapleWhispersASMR what really impacted me was how I went from feeling validated by an uncanny synchronicity with the spiritual path you are on (honestly a bit of ego comes in like “I’m doing all this too, aren’t I doing great!”) to being confronted in such a direct yet loving way on areas that I’m lacking 🤯
@@JonathanThorsonASMR I get that so much though! Once you do start actually clicking with a wellness lifestyle, it's soooo easy to fall into a mindset of "Look at me, I'm so great!"... when a big aspect of mindfulness is checking the ego at the door. In the mindfulness masterclass I mention in the description box, one of my favourite things he said was that no matter how experienced you think you are, you should treat every meditation as if it's your first. From that I've come to like the idea that in mindfulness, one is always the student, and your teacher is every person you interact with, as well as the world around you in general.
Wow! Life changing. I think the whole video resonated with me. I will choose to get back to the gym and take care of myself like I used to. But first, since I chose to be kind to myself by intentionally saving this video for the day when I was ready to actually break out of my rut, I think I'll go eat a semi-healthy reward snack. Thank you Mapechel!
Hi, Maple and Happy late Sunday!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀🌌💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🍁🌷🍁💖💖💖💖💖💖⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍. Earlier, I went to the park and looking at the boats in the water to see what positive thoughts that they did on the first day of Fall. Then, I saw a half moon 🌙 in the sky while the sun goes slowly down at the horizon and I said, "Kris, I know that you're in heaven and...your movies are so wonderful to me with laughs and singing. Plus, the movie "Fire Down Below" was the best blockbuster film ever. So...😢 I will miss you and everyone loves you very much💙🙏." And that's when I hear the perfect voice outside in my heart -- Kris Kristofferson...was 88 years old.😢🙏
Hi Rachel. I was one of your very early viewers and I recognised that you were different and had a story to tell. I made the choice to continue watching and listening to you over your journey of the past few years and I'm glad I did. I look forward to hearing more of what you have to say and teach in the future. Thanks for what you do.
Yes, I think I recognize your name from at least one maplemas! This was so lovely to read. When I first started out this channel it was mostly for connection, and then over time I felt more and more like I had something to say, but struggled getting it across fully. But this last month I feel like I finally realized that what I had to say was important, and that I finally felt fully confident that I can get it across. I'm looking forwards to learning and growing even more, and learning from you all as well!
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful practice, and the “why” behind it. The unconditional love and caring you emanate is heavenly. You are an angel and such an inspiration! 👼
Awh thank you! I've been working really hard on myself the last couple years, and it's so fulfilling to have gotten to the point where I feel capable to help others on their own wellness journey 😊
Thank you so much for this encouraging message. I have struggled for a long time with mistakes I have made in my past and how they still affect me today. I continue to work on self love and providing love to others.
Beautiful. I really appreciate what you said about meditation, because I do struggle with thoughts. changing my perspective to look at those thoughts, and the fact that I can be aware of them as progress, is very helpful. To view it like exercise, like a muscle I'm building. fantastic. Thank you so much! 💖
That was also a really helpful metaphor for me, that it's a muscle that's being worked out! When you go to your very first day at the gym you don't expect to be lifting huge weights or anything. And yet when some people come to their first meditation session, and their brain refuses to be quiet, they go "see look, this is impossible for me!". But it's your first day at the gym, of course you're not going to be good yet. :)
From 23:00-25:00 is so heartfelt, and I'm so glad I'm not in that place anymore, and I hope you're not either. That hit me in the feels and was so well articulated
I'm glad you're not in that place anymore either!! It's been quite some time since I've been in that place, and it's been a slow journey to get from there to where I am now, but every difficult step along the way has been worth it. I think that's why I resonate so much with helping others get out of that place, because I know how impossible it is to do alone. Sending you light and love my friend! 💛 P.S. Your user name makes me think "I LOVE your paintings!"
I also loved the way you spoke from the heart with a genuine concern for us who are listening, I will be watching again and hope I understand the message...thank you ❤
I have been doing mindfulness for 3 years every day 20 to 45 minutes I am glad that you feel good being meditation. i wish you the best for you and your next videos.
Thank you so much for sharing! These are very insightful words that I'm sure will resonate with me for a long time to come. In particular, I appreciate your emphasis on how we have the opportunity to create more agency all the time. It's always our turn to make a decision, regardless of circumstances and if we don't choose, the choice will be made for us. It's definitely a call to take the wheel and realize how much of our lives - not just our actions, but our active perception and thought processes is in our hands.
You might like a thought experiment I actually just heard yesterday: Imagine that after you die, your entire afterlife is you just replaying the events of your life over and over and over again. You feel the sensations, you feel the emotions, and you know exactly what's coming, but you can't change or influence a single thing.
@@MapleWhispersASMR That sounds horrible... haha. Is that meant to be a motivation to make a better life since you'll have to relive it over and over? If anything, it might make me even more risk adverse.
@@BenChanNYC that's the response of 99.99% of people. It sounds horrible. The idea is to strive for a life that you would love to live over and over again :P
This comment is so affirming. I've really felt in my element this last month when it comes to wellness. So it fills my heart to hear that that's already visible on the outside
@@MapleWhispersASMR I've always been someone who's not afraid to be myself and I've gotten bullied a little in my life for it but I had a teacher who said it was simply out of jealousy. Always remember to be yourself and stay true.
@@bluexray7319 I feel that so much. I was actually bullied quite a bit when I was younger, and it took me a very long time to not only feel like myself, but feel okay being myself. It was a lot of hard work, but it was so worth it. I hope you've come to peace with all the people who have told you no, and realize how much potential exists inside you!
Wow. Amazing video and message. I've had such a horrible week, and it's really encouraging to have reminder to come back to center and connect with my own agency. I practiced meditation for years but have been out of it a long time. Maybe a good time to get back in the cushion ...
One think I heard that I really liked was that you should treat every meditation like your first time. Then it doesn't ever matter if you skipped a day or even dropped it for a while, because it's always your first time.
@@sainthuckelberry I know I speak about it with a lot of confidence, but I also still feel like a complete beginner, but like you said now there's a different feeling that comes along with it. It's hard for humans to admit we don't know things, but when we do it opens us up to learning so much more!
Hey friend it's been far too long and yet this video really got me in a good way of course as if you knew what I was going through lately and I appreciate it 😊 it makes me want to do better. The thing that got me the most was pretty much when you talked about making a move and if you just wait around the move will be made for you and that is so true cause it's kinda been happening to me lately lol. The only times I've made a move myself was deciding to just going on calls or going to a new church cause I haven't gone for a year so I've been trying to make more moves thank you. Hope you've been doing well and stay awesome 🤘💀🤘 (also great click movie reference I love click)
So glad this video came at a good time for you my rock and roll friend! 🤘🍁🤘 I just posted this as a response to another comment, but you might also like this thought experiment I just heard yesterday: Imagine that after you die, your entire afterlife is you just replaying the events of your life over and over and over again. You feel the sensations, you feel the emotions, and you know exactly what's coming, but you can't change or influence a single thing. Hope you are well :)
@@MapleWhispersASMR that's pretty deep it's like you're watching the movie of your life and whatever happens, happens the best you can do now is do your best. It maybe difficult (like where I am now) but you can't just wait for something to happen you gotta make the move Also love this 🤘🍁🤘 😊 I'm doing ok but I'm glad to be here again
@@crazyrootbeer881 I'm sorry you've been having such a rough time. Remember in these times the most important thing is to give yourself grace! Your mindset and habits aren't going to change overnight, but taking 2 steps forwards and 1 step back is still moving forwards. :)
My deepest condolences to you and your husband's loved ones. I know I can't possibly say anything to take away the pain, but one thing that's helped me with grief is the idea that grief can't exist without love. Grief is when love has no where to go. "Grief is a giant neon sign, protruding through everything, pointing everywhere, broadcasting loudly, 'Love was here.' In the finer print, quietly, 'Love still is.'" I hope you find ways, no matter how small, to spread the love that you and your husband shared, because it still exists in you. But also give yourself grace, and permission to grieve.
You know I've known your real name for a while now and was shocked to hear you say it. I wish I meditated more but I'm so tired all the time. Maybe this was a kick in the butt I needed to stop making excuses.
I know you've personally been through so much. It's understandable that it's incredibly difficult for you to make those first few steps. Always remember to give yourself grace
I was going to do a whole thing about how "You only have one life to live" is a pretty meaningless sieve because it can be used as an argument in favor of almost any action and therefor sorts nothing--Do drugs, gamble your life savings, break up with your partner and start sleeping around; you only have one life, might as well try everything--but then we moved on to proof by Adam Sandler Movie and I realized this isn't a serious discussion and, contrary to the intro, 28 minutes of time has value. After all, I only have one life to live.
I'm actually really glad you said that, because I had purposefully chosen (ha!) to put in a few lighthearted moments into this video knowing that it was going to be a lot heavier than my normal videos. I think a lot of people believe that meditation and mindfulness is an extremely serious thing. But at least for me, I've found one of the main lessons to be that you can't take anything too seriously. So yes, there are some things that are extremely serious, but I think we should approach even the most serious topics with a bit of lightheartedness. Glad you found the video helpful my friend
Hi Maple 🙂 Where do I start with this video? Any comment I type won't come anywhere close to how I am feeling while listening to you. I've said it before but you are an amazing lady. Most of us may meet one or two special people in a lifetime, if we're lucky, but for some reason, ASMRtists seem to be able to 'click' with their subscribers. And there are a few that are like real friends. You need to write a book 📖 about your mindfulness journey and how it's helping you. If you did and you became a success (I'm sure you would), then your mindfulness centre can become a reality. I am completely into this video. All this and I haven't mentioned the 'moment' of this video. • I have heard a rumour that Otis has got himself an agent and he is looking to break into Hollywood. He wants to be in the next Mission Impossible film. I warned you...............
Maybe one day I'll write a book, although I feel like a lot of my emoting comes from my expressions and my voice, so I'm not sure if I would come across the same just with printed words. Don't worry, I'm keeping my eye on him!
@@WarriorofAllah78611O I respect your human right to have different opinions than I do, but that respect ends when your opinions infringe on the basic rights of others, such as the capacity to love and be loved. If God/Allah is all loving, why would they create people who yearn for a love that is sinful by their own standards? To me personally that just seems cruel.
@@MapleWhispersASMR do you want to have a conversation or no? usually people that support lgbt dont want to have an honest conversation so if you want to let me know and i'll tell you exactly why you're wrong. but know that im a fierce rejector of all that. it might be better if we just don't talk about it. nonetheless may God guide you to, or if you want to be willfully ignorant may God not guide you
@@WarriorofAllah78611O I've removed any further responses from this comment because I have absolutely 0 tolerance for hate speech on my channel. This channel is a safe space. Take your intolerance elsewhere.
Click was great, I'll try and rewatch it soon. Have you seen the show Severance? Hello, Rachel. My name is Jason. It's countless other people's names too, so I like to add my middle name, Kip. It's nice to meet you. Thank you for purposefully making the decisions that led to this video, and the ones that will follow. It's clear how important this is to you, and it's touching that you care so much about us, you viewers, that you want us all to be able to experience the benefits of mindfulness ourselves. One thing that resonates with me is the concept of a formal practice. I have experienced this myself this year. I began in January, and have turned a new year's resolution into a habit. My formal practice is my own, and it works for me so far. Perhaps I will take you up on your invitation to email you about it, or maybe I'll discuss it in your new discord server. For anyone taking the time to read this comment, though, the short version is that I have been waking up 15-20 minutes earlier each day so that I can take time for myself, sit quietly alone, let my thoughts settle, draw a tarot card, and reflect on it's themes and how they apply to different aspects of my life. I don't ask questions about the future, I ask about the present. And i spent a few moments journaling. Later, I share these moments with a family member of mine that I am very close to, we chat daily, and she also shares her own moments with me. I'm human, and I do still find myself letting the game make the next move for me, more often than i would like to admit. Another thing that really resonates with me is the simple concept of one step at a time. And my family member and I will say that to each other, when we need a little compassion - one step at a time. I've said it before, I believe my life's purpose is in the connections I have with my loved ones. I see that in you, too. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us all. We are all moving to higher positions 😌💕
Hi Jason, nice to formally meet you! I have seen the show severance, but that was before I even got curious about meditation, so I had never actually thought about it through a mindfulness lens!! I'm going to have to think about that during my meditation today now haha. I love the way you've described your practice! I think that's one of the biggest steps in meditation, is to come up with your own practice that feels personal to you instead of just doing what someone told you to do. Also love that you have someone else to bounce thoughts off of! I hear you, I also still struggle with the game making moves for me (especially when I have late night munchies!), but bit by bit I'm slowly getting better. Sending light and love to you and your loved ones
So excited to hear what resonated with each of you guys! Was there a specific part that stood out to you?
Love your channel ❤️

@@MapleWhispersASMR that's pretty deep it's like you're watching the movie of your life and whatever happens, happens the best you can do now is do your best.
It maybe difficult (like where I am now) but you can't just wait for something to happen you gotta make the move
Also love this 🤘🍁🤘 😊 I'm doing ok but I'm glad to be here again
@@crazyrootbeer881 I'm sorry you've been having such a rough time. Remember in these times the most important thing is to give yourself grace! Your mindset and habits aren't going to change overnight, but taking 2 steps forwards and 1 step back is still moving forwards. :)
I am deeply grieving for my husband,who passed away last December. I don't even want to be here without him 😢
My deepest condolences to you and your husband's loved ones. I know I can't possibly say anything to take away the pain, but one thing that's helped me with grief is the idea that grief can't exist without love. Grief is when love has no where to go.
"Grief is a giant neon sign, protruding through everything, pointing everywhere, broadcasting loudly, 'Love was here.' In the finer print, quietly, 'Love still is.'"
I hope you find ways, no matter how small, to spread the love that you and your husband shared, because it still exists in you. But also give yourself grace, and permission to grieve.
Very nice! Happy Sunday ❤❤❤❤
Hope you have a great week Zacky :)
Relatable! Stuck in the mud of life. It rough😔
Hope something in the video helps you my friend
You know I've known your real name for a while now and was shocked to hear you say it. I wish I meditated more but I'm so tired all the time. Maybe this was a kick in the butt I needed to stop making excuses.
I know you've personally been through so much. It's understandable that it's incredibly difficult for you to make those first few steps. Always remember to give yourself grace
You encourage others to take a stand and follow their beliefs. Well...
How bout a Halloween date?🎃🥰
Ok that's me taking my stand 😂🫣
Actually my boyfriend's birthday is the day before Halloween, so he probably wouldn't be a fan of that
If I'm Feeling Stuck You are One of the Ambrosia Antidotes to get out of a funk.
Wishing you strength on your journey out of the funk my friend!
I was going to do a whole thing about how "You only have one life to live" is a pretty meaningless sieve because it can be used as an argument in favor of almost any action and therefor sorts nothing--Do drugs, gamble your life savings, break up with your partner and start sleeping around; you only have one life, might as well try everything--but then we moved on to proof by Adam Sandler Movie and I realized this isn't a serious discussion and, contrary to the intro, 28 minutes of time has value. After all, I only have one life to live.
I'm actually really glad you said that, because I had purposefully chosen (ha!) to put in a few lighthearted moments into this video knowing that it was going to be a lot heavier than my normal videos.
I think a lot of people believe that meditation and mindfulness is an extremely serious thing. But at least for me, I've found one of the main lessons to be that you can't take anything too seriously. So yes, there are some things that are extremely serious, but I think we should approach even the most serious topics with a bit of lightheartedness.
Glad you found the video helpful my friend
Ok Can You Do Another Eye Exam Video But Instead Of Blue Gloves Can You Use Black Ones
Can You Put That On The List To Do After The Robot One Let Me No❤👍🏻
Hi Maple 🙂
Where do I start with this video? Any comment I type won't come anywhere close to how I am feeling while listening to you.
I've said it before but you are an amazing lady. Most of us may meet one or two special people in a lifetime, if we're lucky, but for some reason, ASMRtists seem to be able to 'click' with their subscribers. And there are a few that are like real friends.
You need to write a book 📖 about your mindfulness journey and how it's helping you. If you did and you became a success (I'm sure you would), then your mindfulness centre can become a reality. I am completely into this video.
All this and I haven't mentioned the 'moment' of this video.
• I have heard a rumour that Otis has got himself an agent and he is looking to break into Hollywood. He wants to be in the next Mission Impossible film. I warned you...............
Maybe one day I'll write a book, although I feel like a lot of my emoting comes from my expressions and my voice, so I'm not sure if I would come across the same just with printed words.
Don't worry, I'm keeping my eye on him!

And Use A Flashlight As Well

After The Video Your Doing Next Week Let Me No Please
youre not lgbt are you?
I'm not personally LGBT, but I am a fiercely proud ally! If you've referring to the rainbow prayer flags in the back it's of the 7 chakras.
@@MapleWhispersASMR oh i see. may God guide you to seeing the truth
@@WarriorofAllah78611O I respect your human right to have different opinions than I do, but that respect ends when your opinions infringe on the basic rights of others, such as the capacity to love and be loved.
If God/Allah is all loving, why would they create people who yearn for a love that is sinful by their own standards? To me personally that just seems cruel.
@@MapleWhispersASMR do you want to have a conversation or no? usually people that support lgbt dont want to have an honest conversation so if you want to let me know and i'll tell you exactly why you're wrong. but know that im a fierce rejector of all that. it might be better if we just don't talk about it. nonetheless may God guide you to, or if you want to be willfully ignorant may God not guide you
@@WarriorofAllah78611O I've removed any further responses from this comment because I have absolutely 0 tolerance for hate speech on my channel.
This channel is a safe space. Take your intolerance elsewhere.
Click was great, I'll try and rewatch it soon. Have you seen the show Severance?
Hello, Rachel. My name is Jason. It's countless other people's names too, so I like to add my middle name, Kip. It's nice to meet you.
Thank you for purposefully making the decisions that led to this video, and the ones that will follow. It's clear how important this is to you, and it's touching that you care so much about us, you viewers, that you want us all to be able to experience the benefits of mindfulness ourselves.
One thing that resonates with me is the concept of a formal practice. I have experienced this myself this year. I began in January, and have turned a new year's resolution into a habit. My formal practice is my own, and it works for me so far. Perhaps I will take you up on your invitation to email you about it, or maybe I'll discuss it in your new discord server. For anyone taking the time to read this comment, though, the short version is that I have been waking up 15-20 minutes earlier each day so that I can take time for myself, sit quietly alone, let my thoughts settle, draw a tarot card, and reflect on it's themes and how they apply to different aspects of my life. I don't ask questions about the future, I ask about the present. And i spent a few moments journaling. Later, I share these moments with a family member of mine that I am very close to, we chat daily, and she also shares her own moments with me.
I'm human, and I do still find myself letting the game make the next move for me, more often than i would like to admit. Another thing that really resonates with me is the simple concept of one step at a time. And my family member and I will say that to each other, when we need a little compassion - one step at a time.
I've said it before, I believe my life's purpose is in the connections I have with my loved ones. I see that in you, too. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us all.
We are all moving to higher positions 😌💕
Hi Jason, nice to formally meet you! I have seen the show severance, but that was before I even got curious about meditation, so I had never actually thought about it through a mindfulness lens!! I'm going to have to think about that during my meditation today now haha.
I love the way you've described your practice! I think that's one of the biggest steps in meditation, is to come up with your own practice that feels personal to you instead of just doing what someone told you to do. Also love that you have someone else to bounce thoughts off of!
I hear you, I also still struggle with the game making moves for me (especially when I have late night munchies!), but bit by bit I'm slowly getting better.
Sending light and love to you and your loved ones
