When things start happening in meditation, how can we best handle it? / forrestknutson www.meditative... Thank you to Doug Gemmell for the amazing music!
That is so perfect Aaron! I'm so glad you brought that up that's one more thing that I meant to have on this list. Grounding allows the body to come out of inflammation and puts the body in the alpha wave which helps to integrate us. So it is a perfect therapy.
@@goldenbreathwork same here 2 months in my home. It was a breeze that started meditating on me. Sat in trance for 6-10 hours a day. Had the whole story of mahabarata in my third eye movie ... ganesha . Mostly bliss during trance but after it was hard. Visions was seen all the time.
It can be horror as well ... some say it depends on lack of shadow work and lack of maturity. I had bliss and horror for 8 years . Now its more neutral thow and more in bliss if I focus it.
@@kuriouskitty3084 yes the process is very different for each individual as the bliss or the horror. We are so diffrent an unique in all levels. Hard to say whats going on for you. I have good healers that can see and read energy in me. That helped a lot. If you need to talk you can reach me on Tove Sophia at messenger.
Hi Forrest - I’ve been watching all your videos lately and very grateful for your clear explanations of things. I had a spontaneous awakening about 20 years ago, probably a kundalini awakening but not with the classical ‘energy shooting up spine’. I had no spiritual practice at the time and never had heard about all this stuff when it happened and there was barely any internet info at the time. I had a lot of permanent shifts in perception since then, amongst many obe’s, seeing the spiritual star that turns into a vortex i shoot through sometimes - my vision completely changed, everything is ‘brighter’, sharper, more vivid, with a white ‘halo’ around things. I can feel sensations in most of my chakras. Soft energy flows in my back.. with or without meditating, when I paint (I’m an artist) my crown chakra feels like it opens up with a cool flow - I hear the high pitched nada sound in my right ear which sometimes turns into a flute or chimes. What I was wondering - with your knowledge -what do you think of spontaneous awakenings? What does your lineage think of them and how they occur? I imagine maybe I was genetically pre-disposed somehow to ‘pop’? And with these permanent changes, do you think I’m somehow in some kind of default brain wave state? Like more connected to my left brain all the time?
I love your approach to these topics. Growing up in western society, now 27, I am beginning to feel like I am crazy. The way you articulate MY feelings is amazing. The way you connect biology, science and yogic practice is truly inspiring. Thank you 🙏🏻 🤍
Thank you Forrest. This is helpful on many layers. Calling it the unconscious rather than the higher self - to draw you inward. The grace to speak to the unconscious Projections away from the crown (which I had just recently discovered on my own) Not to power through the experience (this is Huge and should really be emphasized) So many nugget of wisdom in this one video. Thank you.
I really wish I was far enough into my journey to consider a kundalini awakening as even a remote possibility for me. Your HRV lessons have gotten me past years of spinning my wheels. Thanks, Forrest!
Thank you Forrest, so wonderful to hear about this, your wonderful, I have never heard of this topic before and I can relate to it. You have so much joy in your videos it comes across and it makes me happy. Your content always seem so original and valuable. They are gold nuggets! God bless you!
Thank you for this reminder, Forrest. The times I have hurt myself it was because I was pushing it too hard. I agree with you: small incremental improvement is the key!
I love this! So many things I've felt since I was a kid are starting to possibly make sense when understood in this way. Thank you for your content as always! I'm always so grateful this quality of information is so easily accessible.
I love to think of talking to my sub conscious mind and creating a relationship to this part of me thank you thank you thank you for the suggestion from Palm Springs California wishing you the best
Thank you Colleen! It's a wonderful thing and something you can draw on for the rest of your life. In hypnosis they say that the cause of all dis-ease is the lack of rapport between the conscious and the subconscious.
Thank you forest! Your the best. While practicing a basic Kriya I experienced what felt like a powerful blissful electricity swim up from the bottom of my spine through the cerebellum then terminate between the eyebrows. This happened after getting into the freeze response for 15 mins then chanting the AAAAA Sound 7 times with my head at a 90 degree angle focus between the eyebrows. The vibration started an inch below the navel and spread out around my body then up the spine. haven’t been able to find any info on this. Positive experience but super intense.
I truly appreciate you explaining Kundalini in this way! I have read the book you mentioned and a great many more but no one else has described the experience quite like you. Thank you so very much for telling us also about not going above the 6 chakras for safety. Very helpful. May the Divine continue to bless and protect you and your family, Víctor
Thank you so much Victor! That was Lahiri Baba's rule: never breath through the body above the medulla. You can visualize, but don't breath through it.
Jeeeez I must be the luckiest person about every time I watch there is content that either answers a question I have or confirms what I do already love it when ever I have an amazing meditation I ALWAYS PRAIS MY HIGHER SELF (or subconscious mind as you say)! So makes me feel good I was doing the right thing before you said, and heard else where that it can only feel vibration so not words but made me feel good in doing it so never stopped!!!! Excellent “FOREST IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY” “AGAIN” well that’s what it feels like to me and on top I do the 108 ohm med daily and Omg every time is a more intense feeling or vision but has got a bit much and was trying to power through so thank you Forest you may have saved me a spell in hospital lmao Thank you I’m so lucky you post things just when I need them coincidentally (naaa think not, my reality working SPOT ON THANKS) enough LOVE AN RESPECT FOREST again thank you soooooo very much
Fantastic, Nick! It's only a problem when it feels uncomfortable. Otherwise, you're right on track, and OM in the chakras is much more gentle than a lot of Raja Yoga which is sometimes more aggressive.
Ahhh, Forrestji, thank you as always. In you I have found a master. How much is a master needed on these topics... Sometimes I think that I have no experiences at all and feel bad; actually, by just reading the title of this video was beginning to think sadly "dealing with kundalini awakening?, first I should have that experience and then think on dealing with it..." But I realize now that actually I've felt some of this kind of things. Such a cry baby apprentice yogi, I've been.
Thank you for common sense, easy to understand, to the point videos. I had an odd related spontaneous experience when I was a child, it caused me to be a little afraid of this. ThIs video and others by you helps me alot.
Atma namaste sir heartfelt gratitude God bless much love...again amazing teachings i was watching your kundalini experience video in the morning..was shocked to see this kundalini video ..🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤ ..
@@ForrestKnutson Atma namaste sir what should i do ..how this synchronicity will lead me and where..kindly help me sir...during family prayers my request prayers i offer when The Holy Bible is read ..there it is what i asked during prayer the same thing is in the verses...like that many things happening often...🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Forrest. My process began sometime ago and the information was mixed. A lot of it was ill informed and had almost disastrous results. Funny, when I think of it now, someone who was innocent of the experience said to me if it's natural then nothing to worry about. I should have listo the innocent the experts were dealing in fear and hype. I can laugh now but it was nothing even mildly amusing at the time. I also feel that as this experience is becoming better known it indicates something wonderful although challenging is happening to us all.
Gosh, my unconscious mind and I aren't on that good of terms. We're engaged in conflict to make ourselves stronger, but it sure isn't a comfortable path. I will take your advice to heart and see if there's not a wiser solution.
SIMPLE and CLEAR.. If we spoke to our UNCONSCIOUS MINDS with the same WARMTH of FEELING we do with our dogs, we would have a good working relationship with this powerful part of our mind-THE UNCONSCIOUS. It's DESIREABLE to be on GOOD TERMS with OUR UNCONSCIOUS>. Excellent point to stress FK. Y O U more than anyone have helped me with understandi my KUNDALINI awakening. I am grateful FK. Doug Gemmel in LV
Well i got the mri, and they wanted to remove one of my spinal discs! I declined and 9 months later still walking and the serpent is still rising but with acceptance now with more ease
What about spontanous kriyas that happen? I get them all the time, especially my head going in circles and also my arms moving by themselves (very randomly i must say). How long will this happen and why does it happen do you think?
This is illuminating- definitely information I've always wanted to have but didn't. My first kundalini experience turned very very negative- couldn't get out from under negativity for months. Thought it was a psychic attack, honestly. Now that I'm healing from abdominal surgery, how can I meditate when I can't keep my spine straight? I definitely want the energy to be able to flow effectively to the injury.
Your way of explaining is so reassuring :) It feels good how... close it feels. Thank you so much ) I'll kepp practicing. A bit concerned with something ... I understood. It's not something, you especificaly said, yt you mentioned not working with the crown. But often during the day I want to reset my breathig and I visualize a wheel in me: it travels from the pelvic floor to the crown, and it helps a lot. I now have the impression that.... although useful it might be misleading? I'd like to hear from you. (I have a lot of issues with my breahting pattern, my right hemispphere was soo out of sync I just activated my airways a couple of months ago, so bearthing correctly is a huge topic I want to work on right now).
Thank you! ... So, it's okay to visualize, but Lahiri Baba warned his students never to breath through the body above the medulla. So, if you're doing that with the breath, leave off at the medulla, and do the rest through visualization, as a safety insurance policy.
The day i did 600 kriyas non stop a huge threatening menacing black wave approached me but did not or could not touch me...a few days before this the picture i have of Yoganandajis ...at my alter His eyes were intense almost like a burning intensity to keep away something. But god after this no more 600 breaths..in 2010 id already reached Kaivalyam Gyana..
thank you for the video. I had my kundalini awakening in 2017 it was weird and wonderful. Is there any health benefits to having the kundalini energy strong and vibrant ? peace and love
Yes , so true . When four months back I suffered from slip dics in and in mri spine tb also got detected ...I feel same whole lots of energy surrounded that effected part is spine .and rotate in spiral motion .....as my kundali is awakened i could easily feel the energy.....after one month when doctor again did mri ....my tb was cured .....my disc bulges from three disc was cured ...only l5 l4 disc was shown slip disc ..... doctor was shocked .....to see mri ...and i started to recover after one month ....after three months i got healed 90perc....still I feel the energy surround that part and heals it ...... where as people with the slip disc find very tough to heal ... They may take 18 month , sometimes more than that 😀
That's the part of the vagus that goes into the tongue. I explain it's not a block, but an activation. And you're feeling the intensity of that activation. Try resting in the medulla, or Expanding everywhere, Unboundedly.
How do bodily sensations like shaking or twitching muscles etc. relate to this process of conciusly experiencing deeper brainwaves? e.g. when the shaking starts while in meditation but tends to stop when the sitting is over? Thank you for your teachings Forrest!
I can explain that so it makes sense, but it's a bit harder to follow. It's the same reason that many yogis feel spirals. The brain is rotating through other parts of the brain, and you're feeling that rotation, and when it reaches the body, you feel this and so does the body, and starts to shake or vibrate.
I am very disappointed with myself. I was too green for kundalini awakening when it occurred to me. But I am happy that I don't end up in mental asylum. Next time when it will happen again I will pray to mother divine to go easy on me.
Forest, that does way more than just leaves the students in a lurch. That's absolutely horrible. They could have been having an issue that could come off to a doctor as bipolar schizophrenia or all sorts of things. We're talking about somebody's life possibly being ruined because somebody couldn't speak up and help them. At the same time I've noticed that there's a lot of people in the space that I don't think are actually doing anything they say they are but I don't think they are because they have absolutely no understanding of things
wow another incredible information shared by you sir. I have one question: do we suddenly get emotional changes when we start getting deeper in meditation. I mean emotional changes in negative sense like all of sudden for few days there is emotional breakdown or the feeling of pain for no reasons/remembering old pain. During such changes its difficult to meditate and a person deviate for a while.
Yes that's absolutely possible because you are slowing down and becoming aware of your subconscious brain waves which store all of our memories. So if there is past pain in our lives which most of us have some of that might come up and ask to be resolved. When we go through something subconscious wants to bring it up in order for it to be resolved but the conscious mind says hey I'm busy I can't do that right now and so the information goes on the back burner. So when we become very quiet in meditation it's quite natural for the subconscious to go hey isn't this a good time to resolve all of this? And that's what it's doing it's looking for resolution and release of the past.
@@kklyve it's possibly part of it, and St John was also talking about when the Higher Self doesn't show up to the pre-arranged meeting. So the spiritual adept may encounter a period of dryness, and he was trying to say this is okay and normal.
The answer is yes but with a lot of hesitation. The hesitation is it doesn't have to be a huge deal. It doesn't have to be a shocking experience like it is for some people. It could be a very simple experience. So if you are looking for expecting exactly somebody else's experience you may ignore or Miss your own experience. As one student of mine said to me it was as if a new world opened up inside of me. That was it. That was his Kundalini Awakening experience. So you see it can be quite simple. Chasing after other people's experiences is always a mistake.
Sir this is out of the topic question Kriya yoga deals with Pran yes Then the amount of Pran matter Means some have less Pran and vice versa If yes then how to increase it...??
By the way, I work with 15 psychiatrists. On my recommendation, one psychiatrist who is also my friend is going to try your HRV steps in session for a client with anxiety. Will try to report back.
@@ForrestKnutson Not what I'm referencing, I am talking about Source Code Meditation Michael Cotton. You can flip it on at will. No , I have no affiliation either whatsoever I speak from experience. I hold no allegiance it works 100 percent and fast.
@@ForrestKnutson Yes and yes. It’s the real deal and he’s a pioneer. That book change my life and I have zero affiliation. I didn’t think it was real. I was skeptical. What I experienced was next to incredible.
personally I feel it is wrong of that good soul to go about asking for advice on such a topic to people that did not know what and how did he do his saadhna. Isn't this exactly why the Initiations are a thing?
This is the Kriya world that many people find themselves in these days. Not only in Kriya lineages but also in other systems as well. That's why I often say I'm a remedial teacher.
@@ForrestKnutson in this maaya of UA-cam you have stepped up, shedding light on things which are either too mystified or too popularized (wrongly) by some for their own gains. Thank you so much for what you are doing. Please accept my heartfelt pranaam.
Namaste 🙏 In my humble opinion, and I apologize if I’m wrong, but I’m inclined to say that you have not experienced a kundalini awakening before. You’re intellectualize the experience which advertises your lack of experiential knowledge. All I hear are spiritual sound bites of what many spiritual teachers have alluded to through experience. The cookie cutter approach you talk about in controlling the kundalini is far from reality. Its not like a remote control where you can tell you subconscious mind to go easy on you, the awakened Kundalini once activated, consciously or spontaneously, will not stop until your entire chakras have been purified. The symptoms of a kundalini awakening like in my case is permanent and would be that way forever. The energy will have to integrate in your system to have a semblance of normalcy, but even with the sense of normalcy, you’d forever feel connected with the divine. This is when many that go through the process of a Kundalini awakening, which in actuality is a spiritual rebirth, will have a knowingness of their mission right here on this earth plane, and once they realize the truth of who they really are, they escape the cycle of rebirth. You never once talked about these facts, that’s why I know implicitly that you haven’t experientially gone through it. Many who have will know what I’m saying. What you deliver is information about what the process feels like, and although no one experience is the same as another’s, I know in my being that you haven’t been though the fire 🔥 of the kundalini process. That said, thank you for bringing awareness and light to us all, and may the light continue to shine in you, and all over you 🙏 Namaste 🙏
I get this a lot for kundalini yogis, because I refuse to talk their language, which they are attached to. It's very common. I always wonder how someone can judge that they know more about me from a video. It's a kind of hubris. You see, the word is wrong from the beginning: control. I'm not teaching control, which you're right, would be a great mistake. I'm teaching partnership; how to be gentle with yourself. The yoga world is wide. Surely there is room enough for both of us. Thank you for your opinion, and for not using inappropriate language, as some have.
Nature was my best friend during my kundalini awakening. Bathing in a calm warm ocean and putting my feet in the sand.
That is so perfect Aaron! I'm so glad you brought that up that's one more thing that I meant to have on this list. Grounding allows the body to come out of inflammation and puts the body in the alpha wave which helps to integrate us. So it is a perfect therapy.
@@ForrestKnutson jai ma! And thank U Forrest for all that you do.
Yes nature helps if you can even mouve. Some cases is so severe that mouving or talking is impossible.

When four months back I suffered from slip dics in and in mri spine tb also got detected ...I feel same whole lots of energy surrounded that effected part is spine .and rotate in spiral motion .....as my kundali is awakened i could easily feel the energy.....after one month when doctor again did mri ....my tb was cured .....my disc bulges from three disc was cured ...only l5 l4 disc was shown slip disc ..... doctor was shocked .....to see mri ...and i started to recover after one month ....after three months i got healed 90perc....still I feel the energy surround that part and heals it ...... where as people with the slip disc find very tough to heal ... They may take 18 month , sometimes more than that 😀
I have the blockage in the 3rd eye as pressure feeling but mostly it is in the TaluMula chakra in the palate now. And it doesnt want to release.
That's the part of the vagus that goes into the tongue. I explain it's not a block, but an activation. And you're feeling the intensity of that activation. Try resting in the medulla, or Expanding everywhere, Unboundedly.
@@ForrestKnutson thank you!
How do bodily sensations like shaking or twitching muscles etc. relate to this process of conciusly experiencing deeper brainwaves? e.g. when the shaking starts while in meditation but tends to stop when the sitting is over?
Thank you for your teachings Forrest!
I can explain that so it makes sense, but it's a bit harder to follow. It's the same reason that many yogis feel spirals. The brain is rotating through other parts of the brain, and you're feeling that rotation, and when it reaches the body, you feel this and so does the body, and starts to shake or vibrate.
Once I had that magnetic sensation on the forehead in a public transport all the time of the travel because of the mask touching the nose lol.
Lol! That can happen with an outside stimulus puts your mind there continuously.
Yea, and then it would go unpleasant and I would have to break it temporarily with finger or something.
Hello Forrest, can someone have a kundalini awakening while asleep?
💛
Thank you Nanna!
I am very disappointed with myself. I was too green for kundalini awakening when it occurred to me. But I am happy that I don't end up in mental asylum.
Next time when it will happen again I will pray to mother divine to go easy on me.
If you've already been through it, then it is a part of you, and all you need is HRV-Resonance, Tranquil Breath, Freeze Response, and the Roll-up.
The worst is the lack of sleep ... what to do but meditate ? The whole day and night is in theta level. Wakefulness in sleep. Like dreaming but awake.
its tough right now ;'( I feel like im on a bad acid trip
Forest, that does way more than just leaves the students in a lurch. That's absolutely horrible. They could have been having an issue that could come off to a doctor as bipolar schizophrenia or all sorts of things. We're talking about somebody's life possibly being ruined because somebody couldn't speak up and help them. At the same time I've noticed that there's a lot of people in the space that I don't think are actually doing anything they say they are but I don't think they are because they have absolutely no understanding of things
thank you! by the way i wonder what do you think about transcendental meditation?
TM is a very nice chanting meditation.
Is the pulling sensation inside my forehead a sign that I am experiencing a kundalini awakening?
Thank you for your the content.
Yes, that is this 1st Knot. You might like to watch my video on Lahiri Mahasaya and the 3 Knots.
@@ForrestKnutson Thank you Forrest
wow another incredible information shared by you sir. I have one question: do we suddenly get emotional changes when we start getting deeper in meditation. I mean emotional changes in negative sense like all of sudden for few days there is emotional breakdown or the feeling of pain for no reasons/remembering old pain. During such changes its difficult to meditate and a person deviate for a while.
Yes that's absolutely possible because you are slowing down and becoming aware of your subconscious brain waves which store all of our memories. So if there is past pain in our lives which most of us have some of that might come up and ask to be resolved. When we go through something subconscious wants to bring it up in order for it to be resolved but the conscious mind says hey I'm busy I can't do that right now and so the information goes on the back burner. So when we become very quiet in meditation it's quite natural for the subconscious to go hey isn't this a good time to resolve all of this? And that's what it's doing it's looking for resolution and release of the past.
@@ForrestKnutson Is this the same as "the dark night of the soul" ?
@@ForrestKnutson thank you so much sir for explaining it, means a lot.
@@kklyve it's possibly part of it, and St John was also talking about when the Higher Self doesn't show up to the pre-arranged meeting. So the spiritual adept may encounter a period of dryness, and he was trying to say this is okay and normal.
Lovely video sir ,, just one question is it necessary to awaken kundalis to reach out to samdhi ,, is there a work around available?
The answer is yes but with a lot of hesitation. The hesitation is it doesn't have to be a huge deal. It doesn't have to be a shocking experience like it is for some people. It could be a very simple experience. So if you are looking for expecting exactly somebody else's experience you may ignore or Miss your own experience. As one student of mine said to me it was as if a new world opened up inside of me. That was it. That was his Kundalini Awakening experience. So you see it can be quite simple. Chasing after other people's experiences is always a mistake.
@@ForrestKnutson Thank you sir 🙏
14:25 injury and kundalini
Enlightenment is a thing that someone doesn't want people to get because they become uncontrollable. One can't threaten an animal.
Sir this is out of the topic question
Kriya yoga deals with Pran yes
Then the amount of Pran matter
Means some have less Pran and vice versa
If yes then how to increase it...??
OM in each chakra will allow the "prana to rise" you can watch it happen in the Big Bliss Training.
1:45 there’s no more gotta’s for me, unfortunately, so I leave this video for others
By the way, I work with 15 psychiatrists. On my recommendation, one psychiatrist who is also my friend is going to try your HRV steps in session for a client with anxiety. Will try to report back.
That's fantastic! I've already heard from people that told me it worked very well for this.
It has to work well because it awakens the parasympathetic.
Is subconscious and unconscious mind same?
No, the subconscious is the lower mind, and the Unconscious stretches into everything else.
❣️💕🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏
What if I told you that you can spark the kundalini very quick and easy.
That's true, it's very easy.
@@ForrestKnutson Not what I'm referencing, I am talking about Source Code Meditation Michael Cotton. You can flip it on at will. No , I have no affiliation either whatsoever I speak from experience. I hold no allegiance it works 100 percent and fast.
@@mariom6065 that's great. Does it draw you into the brain? And from there into absorption?
@@ForrestKnutson Yes and yes. It’s the real deal and he’s a pioneer. That book change my life and I have zero affiliation. I didn’t think it was real. I was skeptical. What I experienced was next to incredible.
I talk to the unconscious mind like talking to alexa or siri
Gopi Krishnas book is story of my life =(
Lol! Has it been overwhelming?
@@ForrestKnutson yes sir extremely overwhelming. For 5 years like this now.
@@C_Masi oh my goodness, that's a lot to go through. I hope these suggestions help you quickly, as well as grounding exercises, of course.
@@ForrestKnutson thank you Forrest, I am doing my very best. I love your channel and am following your videos 🕉
@@C_Masi fantastic I wish you every success.
personally I feel it is wrong of that good soul to go about asking for advice on such a topic to people that did not know what and how did he do his saadhna. Isn't this exactly why the Initiations are a thing?
This is the Kriya world that many people find themselves in these days. Not only in Kriya lineages but also in other systems as well. That's why I often say I'm a remedial teacher.
@@ForrestKnutson in this maaya of UA-cam you have stepped up, shedding light on things which are either too mystified or too popularized (wrongly) by some for their own gains. Thank you so much for what you are doing. Please accept my heartfelt pranaam.
@@rohithipparkar707 thank you 🙏🙏
Namaste 🙏 In my humble opinion, and I apologize if I’m wrong, but I’m inclined to say that you have not experienced a kundalini awakening before. You’re intellectualize the experience which advertises your lack of experiential knowledge. All I hear are spiritual sound bites of what many spiritual teachers have alluded to through experience. The cookie cutter approach you talk about in controlling the kundalini is far from reality. Its not like a remote control where you can tell you subconscious mind to go easy on you, the awakened Kundalini once activated, consciously or spontaneously, will not stop until your entire chakras have been purified. The symptoms of a kundalini awakening like in my case is permanent and would be that way forever. The energy will have to integrate in your system to have a semblance of normalcy, but even with the sense of normalcy, you’d forever feel connected with the divine. This is when many that go through the process of a Kundalini awakening, which in actuality is a spiritual rebirth, will have a knowingness of their mission right here on this earth plane, and once they realize the truth of who they really are, they escape the cycle of rebirth. You never once talked about these facts, that’s why I know implicitly that you haven’t experientially gone through it. Many who have will know what I’m saying. What you deliver is information about what the process feels like, and although no one experience is the same as another’s, I know in my being that you haven’t been though the fire 🔥 of the kundalini process. That said, thank you for bringing awareness and light to us all, and may the light continue to shine in you, and all over you 🙏 Namaste 🙏
I get this a lot for kundalini yogis, because I refuse to talk their language, which they are attached to. It's very common. I always wonder how someone can judge that they know more about me from a video. It's a kind of hubris. You see, the word is wrong from the beginning: control. I'm not teaching control, which you're right, would be a great mistake. I'm teaching partnership; how to be gentle with yourself. The yoga world is wide. Surely there is room enough for both of us. Thank you for your opinion, and for not using inappropriate language, as some have.
Each time useless long, sorry
Your opinion is valid, valued, and appreciated.
You are loved. ❤️
Thank you Forrest!
Thank you TC!
