I think I've always known or suspected that there was more to life. Ever since I can remember i've had the reflex to think `` This is outrageous! There must be something to learn ...`` and this has served me well. Five years ago my last parent died . Rationally I was prepared, but suddenly one evening I hit a wall. Anxiety, fear, reconnecting with feelings I had when I was a child. I experienced the weaning off process - painful withdrawal with stomach cramps . Long story short, five years later I am coming out of a Dark night of the soul experience. My body has completely changed, I am nearer my higher self and can bounce ideas off it with answers. I'm sailing down the river and am very present, still and attentive. I'm a mean mean transmuting machine. As you say, it is a very solitary experience. I'm thankful i've always enjoyed aloneness . I'm thankful for every experience that has brought me to this point. It's a process so I,m not on a schedule; remnants of fear and anxiety are easier to accept now, because ultimately I have to accept everything.
@@guitartappingpro Mine started when I was in highschool and I literally felt my soul leave my body. Nothing throughout these past years were able to calm me down whatsoever I was in a highly detatched and depersonalized state then in 2018 I attempted suicide & really felt my soul fully come out of me, and I had this dark mystical experience (like crazy dark unfortunately) and time became so slow , almost like a purgatory & I finally began to pray and hear a louder voice inside that was getting me away from all the negative voices and it said to repent and was telling me to calm myself down. I realized what it was is due to trauma in childhood & growing up, losses , pain, lies and disloyalty & now I feel fully in my body again and connected with earth and people but it was really frightening to me but in the end it does ultimately bring us back to God and God is not only above us but also within.
Thanks for this and the message below. I've been going through a dark night of the soul since January 2023 and I am running out of steam/hope. My life circumstances are very difficult and I don't see how they can get better. However, the thought that this all could be a dark night of the soul leading to something lighter and more beautiful. I can't figure out what life wants me to do and this has always been my issue. I hope it will get better. Any souls going through something like this, I feel you and hope it will get better soon.
Been going through this for 3 years nearly. Can easily say this is the most bottom i can ever hit. Nothing below it. Only upwards from here. I was stuck and slowly at last i can see light at the end of the tunnel.
Finally after ~12 years of soul searching, my inner darkness lifted and I've never felt as happy as I'm today. What did it for me was looking for genuine rites of passage that have become largely ignored in our 'civilized' world. Don't give up folks, you can do it too, though it's a very tricky process. Thanks so much for this enlightening, affirming video. Much love to all of you!
Thanks so much for these vid's. I'm going through that right now, two weeks ago I was completely suicidal but then I found what my real problem was: I'm going through a dark night of the soul, wich is a good thing, and in the end, everything will be just fine. Thank for making these great videos about this. Ah, and also I realise that this is not the first time that this happened to me. It's just that this time was harder to me that almost killed me.
My tunnel caved in all around me, Im pinned in the darkness and no- one is looking for me because I have no-one....NOT even a f**kn flashlight!! Going on decade # 3 in a row!!!
Didn,t know that this was part of awakening even dont know i was awakening Strange enough i understand and even feel everything u say! now i know that is its happening for me for a longer time! Start meditating years ago in prison I become a different person But am tired a lot and get a cold easy and often Now i know whats going on! Thanks for the video,s help me a lot Not gonne fight against it anymore great 🙏
Thank you for this video! I had a really intense crying episode tonight. When I finally calmed down, I started to feel joy and I suddenly felt more present. My first thought was that maybe my dark night of the soul was finally over because I feel as happy as I did when I was a kid. I just found your video and you said the same thing! That makes my night!
I have had depression since 2012 and it has felt very terrible, I moved in circles. Haven't had any direction. However, the actual dark night of the soul started at the beginning of this year 2020. I know what depression feels like, but the feeling and emotions I'm having during this dark night are 1000x more powerful and dark. It's really dark and painful. What's more painful than the pain itself is the uncertainty. It's been 7 months now. I don't know when it's gonna end. I am all ***ked up.
It doesn't last forever im coming out of tdnots that i went into at the end of 2018 it seems never ending have you herd of Christina lopes i found her very helpful vids on dnots
Your messages are so soothing and inspiring. That right there is proof that what you went through is for a reason and you are here today sharing your wisdom with us.
Languish was the appropriate word usage and certainly correct. I doubt myself in the same way when I am correct. Self doubt is something I’m working on at the moment so I recognised it. Thank you by the way, this video has been very helpful and beneficial for my process. I keep wanting to breathe, meditate and do these practices I used to enjoy but wow is it hard at the moment. I feel like I have the world on my shoulders. The muscles in my neck and upper back are like rock. This is my second round in the DNOTS but not sure if it’s been present the entire time and I thought it was Insomnia, Anxiety, Phobias, mainly social and PTSD. I wonder if they are all linked in some way?
just wanted to tell you how perfect your intro matches the sensation in the dark night of all those fractured pieces, getting realigned to form sth of sense again, greetings from germany.
Great video as always. I certainly feel that I have been in that dark night for at least 2 years but over the last few weeks I can relate to this video as I come out the other side it’s all a journey of learning about yourself which will never end but certainly relate to those feelings of bliss and wanting to help others through my spiritual practice. All the best and keep up the good work
Jamie, I had a powerful spiritual awakening that sounds similar to what you experienced. This happened almost exactly a year ago. Here is my question.... although I go through many ups and downs most of the time I still feel a deep knowing that all is well and trust the process. For instance, last month I was on top of the world. Highly motivated and so in touch with the beauty of life. This month I am down, a deep sense of sadness and sorrow I cannot explain showing up even though my outer world has been wonderful. Is this the dark night? Have I even gotten there yet? Just confused as I don’t feel like I’m resonating with this concept of the dark night in the same way I hear it being explained by many teachers. The universe has already relocated me to a different part of the country, stripped me of all material ties and separated me from my family and friends. My job and home....changed. I even broke my foot the same day I had to move from my house. The universe made certain that I was going to have some time of reflection. All of these things I accept and understand. The “loss” of these things in my life happened in the same week but about two months prior to my actual awakening experience. Needless to say I went through substantial changes very quickly. I keep hearing that all of this drastic loss and change happen after the actual self realization but I seem to have done it backwards. Now I feel like I’m waiting for the depression and “dark night” to show up even though I feel as though I’ve already been there so to speak. My ego is still fighting for its life desperately grasping at anything to distract me which is why I seek your input. I know the planet is changing so quickly right now, and perhaps that is affecting what I am experiencing? Any insight on this would be so helpful. Thank you Jamie. Love your videos ❤️
I am right now in that stage ughhh not easy :) But i already start to see what i need to let go of for the most part. I was just wondering can you still do nice things in between? Or do you really have to sit still all the time and feel? Cause i dont wanna run away from it i wanna progress.
How about reclaiming yourself back who you are before this event . I was just fine before it . I Was doing a lot better . I was feeling a lot better. I knew and still know who the fuck I am before this event and fucking now . I was just that person then that I am now ! There is no new me threw this ! There was only me ! Not no old me or new me ! Not no new which path I was going to take or embedded to take . I choose too myself when I want . I choose neither the red pill or the blue pill . By choosing neither I go back to myself ! Me ! The one that already made those choices that I learned to live with and worked on bettering myself threw mistakes and handled on coming mistakes and choices . Already being able to take it on, to move on or roll with it . I was me , myself and I now reclaim it from what alleges to claim me . It was not for claim in the first place ! I am the rightful owner of Myself !
I been in this state for 14 years. And 14 years ago I KNEW in my being this is just how things will be from now on and nothing I can do to change it. I died 14 years ago and for 14 years I been in a state that is hard to put in words. (Not fun and a lot of pain) but I know I have to accept what is. I died and I know in the end we lose everything! It's so sad though....at times I just want wake up from this nightmare because it seems like that! 14 year nightmare! I look in mirror and I see vast emtpyness and the "Nothing" is taking over
@@JamieMunday not to be rude but...if I take your home from you (a home u worked on 9 months to fix up and 10 hrs 6 days a week...and u wind up in a mental hospital then only to lose your childhood home 6 months later(now 2 homes)...then u are put back in 3 more mental hospital. Only to lose yeat another home(now 3 homes) u worked verry hard for. ...this is my life so SAD is not option it's just a sad fact. 😓 It not only tore me down BUT it broke me and it changed me forever. Not only did I lose 3 homes but in the process I was blamed for it and my family hates me and I did nothing wrong. The only thing I'm guilty of is mental illness of OCD depression and anxiety HORRIBLE anxiety!!!
@@vacationboyvideos i pray you get through your difficult times. Remember God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. Separate yourself from people who don't have compassion and love regardless whats happened and regardless who they are.. don't allow anyone to hinder your process especially if they add negativity to ur already difficult situation. You have been chosen to be awakened. Change your mindset, I know its easier said than done but channel all your emotions into a new project, you have a skill to build use that skill towards yourself and go within to find your calling and how u can use it to rebuild your new life. Many blessings and God bless🙏

Mine was 8! It really feels like true hell but do feel light again!

I’m glad it didn’t kill you. I also had several but this last one nearly killed me too. I did cut my hair off one night.
How are you doing these days
Beautifully stated! I experienced my Dark Night over a 4 year span and it was dark indeed. I will never be same!
Hi. Did you ever see the light at the end of the tunnel? After your dark night.
How did you get out from that? ❤
My tunnel caved in all around me, Im pinned in the darkness and no- one is looking for me because I have no-one....NOT even a f**kn flashlight!! Going on decade # 3 in a row!!!
Rebekah Scheible I empathise with you, are you doing a daily spiritual practice like yoga? This really helped me
The way you expressed it is point on.
We will experience pain but can alleviate suffering...hopefully
Didn,t know that this was part of awakening even dont know i was awakening
Strange enough i understand and even feel everything u say!
now i know that is its happening for me for a longer time!
Start meditating years ago in prison
I become a different person
But am tired a lot and get a cold easy and often
Now i know whats going on! Thanks for the video,s help me a lot
Not gonne fight against it anymore great 🙏
After my dark night, I was zapped of energy. I felt almost numb. I didn't feel bliss. I felt empty. Idk maybe some people feel bliss afterward.
“Inner alchemist”...love it
Languish is the perfect word!
Love your energy and how you can laugh at yourself. Thank you for this video

What if we don't do any daily practice? What happens then? 😮
Eventually it will go away.

Thank you my friend! Love ur messages ❤️

Any different advice for teenagers?
