@@Acrocanthosaurus it is from a eastern proverb. When the student is ready the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready... The teacher will Disappear. -Lao Tzu
Carl Jung said it well "There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."
Great quote. But strictly speaking, there is no method to attain enlightenment. I am afraid to see IT here and now, so I go out and find myself a spiritual practice to postpone it indefinitely.
+Michael Schmidt ....oh really? what a dilemma u've talked urself into. lets see oh wise one uh, here & now is all we have and ur afraid to see IT, HERE & NOW. so you postpone IT because you dont want IT because ur afraid so yea no belief system will work cause u dont want IT, since ur afraid OF IT. so based upon that logic and the trillions of people who have found IT ("spiritual enlightenment/awakening") whatever u choose to call IT. anyone choosing to listen to you compared to the trillions of people experiencing IT (s.e.) is just as afraid (paralyzing fear) so much so that they & u will do anything to avoid this experience, IT, including self-destruction, murdering just about anyone, all at the behest of your cowardice. seems the compassionate thing to do is (since u trend towards keeping ur head in the sand, is heroin, alcohol, or other self-destructive behavior, give IT all you got till youre out of your misery, surrendering WITH to pleas of mercy, thereby obtaining your contact w something bigger than your POOR SUFFERING LITTLE EGO. AND that way be of benefit to self, IT, and humanity. so u see there is hope you find IT SOON
Line S Carl Jung was amazing much more intuitive than Freud. in fact I read that when he told Freud about his idea of synchronicity Freud got really angry.
What we do in the darkness is always important... little example: -Deacon : Come on Mister, eat the bascetti... -Mr Babadook: Can I please have some worms instead? :3
What you are saying is true, one time I almost drown at the beach, I step in and a strong wave took me in, the current took me so far away that nobody could hear that I was screaming for help, I drank a lot of salty water trying to to swim back in. I was super tired and almost gave up, so I thought to myself at that moment, people that drown die because the get desperate, so said, God I am tired I put my life in your hands, he said just relax and run the wave, I did and got out. I didn't resist anymore,I was one with the waves. The rip tides where so strong that day that 4 people die that day. We need to become one with God (ourselves) and listen to the whisper of our wisdom, because God lives inside of us.

I spent a solid year doing this. Feeling everything. I did minimal. Just enough to survive- sleep, eat, shower, dress. Everything she said is exactly true. It feels like hell but at the same time I was feeling happy that I could feel that sadness. Now as I reintegrate into life I take the time to notice resistance and feel whatever I feel. I am so grateful that I had this experience and that I was supported through it by incredibly compassionate people. I find myself frequently with 1 foot in 101 and the other foot in 2.0. But now it’s with awareness and allowing. ❤
I have just realised by watching your video that I have been abandoning myself my entire life. I have been running away from my feelings and suppressing it with all my power. Now I came to a crossroad in my life where I can´t run from my feelings anymore and I have to sit with it and face how I feel which is excruciating. It feels like a living hell and I believe that the only way to get through it is to surrender completely. I want to thank you for opening my eyes for a possibility of finding inner joy and peace. Thank you Teal.
I love teal too. I watch her videos often and learned how to be a better man. I accept others faults and dont take personally when I'm hurt. I own my shortcomings and allow others to make mistakes too. Teal is the wisest human being alive in my opinion
Cool, because we have to WORK.......do you get it ? That is what she teaches, spirituality is practice of life, and that is hard work.....you serve your purpose and at the same time serve humanity. But you do need food and shelter first....so you need it yourself, and you can built this for others as well......
That’s how I’m feeling right now a little bit but I’m trying to take inspiration from this. If I can inspire others with my words in the same way she’s made me feel less alone in my spiritual path, then that’s an objective win for humanity
I am living this truth. 🙏 One day In my chronic bed ridden pain of 2 years, I said to my nerve pain( along with cancelling all my doctor appointments and completely taking myself of all medications), my illness it could stay or go either way I accept what is. I gave in to it. It's been 6 months of no longer being bed ridden and the days my pain rises I head towards it, it has so many messages and I'm learning so much about myself 💓. Recently I found Teal Swan videos and I'm so very grateful this message is out there.
It's so funny. I listened to this almost a year ago, and thought I was ready to go into the "eye of the storm". She was very right, I tried to jump to the next level and I clearly wasn't ready. I was still resisiting the hit, or the pain of my feelings and wishing it was/I was different. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I got to this point of Spirituality 2.0, where it's okay to feel all of it. If I feel it, I feel it fully. I have enjoyed the present moment, fleeting moments of bliss and happiness, sinking into my pain and not asking it to change, knowing that no one and nothing else externally can give me what I need. I was also given Eckhart Tolle's power of now which REALLY helped me understand this, and propell me to this point. Asking nothing to change, accepting things as they are, as well as physically doing what you need to and moving forward in your life still knowing that YOU have to take care of YOU before you achieve "bliss" or "authenticity". It's really beautiful at this moment. Even with my interactions with other people has been so much easier and my life situations. It's all a growing practice.
yes it is all come from your being not from your doing. people believe work hard make them to be happy, not that is true at all, being happy while work, make you smart. you dont even feel like you working effortless.. effortless that produce all amzing things to life at a short time, not effort at all. do what you love, not love what you do.. when we do what we love, that is effortless, but love what we do, forcing our self to love that doesn't work.. first to begin with love not with effort at all.
2 or 3 years ago, when i first saw this talk by Teal, it hit me deeply, though i wasn't really living it. Today i feel this wisdom has seeped in my, the undoing has happened, is happening. Be patient and faithful, watch it unfold.
This is one of the most powerful videos I have ever watched, and that is saying something. I'm newly in the 2.0 phase so there are still a few lessons floating through from the 101 as it's completing the process. The best thing I have ever done for myself is stop running and just let the pain and hurt take me and be 100% in it fully. It was absolute hell. It was like being in a tsunami and there was nothing I could do but let it have me. And, all I did was lay on my bedroom floor for several days of sometimes crying sometimes just laying there doing nothing until it was all over. I laugh now, but it was the scariest, most liberating thing I have ever done in my life. And, it took a long time and a lot of internal work to get me to that moment where I could just shatter completely. Sometimes it seems so surreal to me that I am basically a whole new human being. At least that is how it feels to me. That line, 'stop feeling good so people will love you', will have me seeing stars for days. The most recent thing I have finally integrated into myself is being totally okay with uncertainty (Thank you for that video, too.) and being uncomfortable in the unknowing of what may or may not be coming my way. Naturally, the Universe has seen fit to test this theory. I'm in a sudden sticky situation with money for the first time in several years. I hate it. I effing hate it. But, along with that is this intense blanket of comfort wrapped around me as I am very much not at all comfortable in this situation and I'm not going to pretend otherwise, to myself or anyone else. Today it hit me, the last time I was in an unfortunate financial situation that was not at all the story. I had family visiting me at the worst timing. They were actually worried about my health I was so freaked out about it. Now, look at me. Steady as a rock. I still feel 'not good' about it, but I can glance back and see that the previous money situation resolved itself back then, and it'll do it this time, too. Probably even better. I'm not scared. Well, a little. But, mostly I am excited. I am in, for me, a very uncomfortable situation and I somehow still feel calm, joyful, and optimistic. Until recently, I didn't know feeling the 'negative' and the 'positive' at the same time was even an option. This world is so seemingly weird and upside down sometimes. I love it.
So inspired by what you shared. Excited and nervous as hell to start embracing the pain, but I know there's no where else to run, so in a way, that's comforting that I am ready for a new phase in my life, even if it is going to be agonizing.
very insightful to hear this perspective, thanks for sharing. I'm coming to being okay with uncertainty..preparing yet letting go and trusting the unknown.. total presence, that's the aim. Do you find your social circle changing since shifting more into this phase? ThoughI can imagine one can hold their own better in social situations, with the increased inner stability
I’m literally in tears. I’ve seen this video before, but 4 years after the first time I saw it, I’m realizing what she means. What a huge epiphany to have. Teal ❤️💕
I am a teenager and understand what she is saying. I have friends that say that their parents dont understand them but in reality their parents refuse to think back to the time when they had all those problems because it was hard and hurt them emotionally so they ran from those feelings. Them running away caused them not wanting to remember or relive those experiences so they dont try to understand using there past but try to understand and fix what is happening in the present
I think I had very good parents in general but my father made me feel like I'm being difficult when I was being rebellious. It's a strange time and nearly none of us will have parents leading us the right way in that important age. Guess you're not a teenager any more now. ;)
When the student is ready the teacher appears... This is exactly what I'm working on right now.... sitting still in pain and allowing it. Really... I'm so grateful for this video...
Apparently everyone commenting here is spirituality 2.0. I'm definitely 1.0 🙋🏽 I barely understand what she says, let's see how much I understand in 6 months from now.
Yissel Herrera just keep listening, and absorb all of her amazing information. Take it in small bits, the first 5 minutes is so profoundly beautiful. Just listen to 5 minutes. Stop, breathe it in, and listen to it again.
This concept so deep it's hard for people to take on. I can tell you from experience she is 100% correct. I had everything i wanted & couldn't figure out why I still felt like crap sometimes. Well, firstly I'm an empath so I pick up a bunch of emotions that aren't mine. Secondly, you do have to be present with what you are feeling to move forward with your ascension process. Once you clear those feelings and your thoughts you can get to that space of emptiness, singularity, where you find you are nothing and everything at the same time. The key is to let go off all attachments, to everything & everyone. This is not easy but is the path to balance, unity consciousness, & joy.
Do you feel as though it is a point you just get to? Or is it an ebb and flow of seeking/wanting and reminding to come back to unconditional presence. Great username btw lol
She's wise, she shares her perspective on many subjects and she's still growing spiritually. This is all ok Many people put too much emphasis on the appearance of someone who involves themself with spirituality and shares wisdom. Just take in the information and put it through an intuitive truth filter. Is spirituality all smiles and happiness? Definitely not: i know that a great deal of what she says is right because I'm going through the exact same thing. As soon as you stand still and become silent, old wounds will open and any old dirt in those wounds will come to the surface so you can heal. This means that a lot of pain will surface. Some days you will have done nothing wrong and yet the entire day you'll feel like something is off and even though you're doing your meditation and anything to keep you happy you'll feel like you aren't as happy as you could be. This can be incredibly confusing. It takes a lot of courage to just drop everything, stand still and take it in, especially because you don't know how long this feeling will last till you're done processing it. Great spiritual growth takes a tremendous amount of courage.
I've been watching Teal Swan videos for close to a year now. I found her when I first began looking into shadow work. However, it's been a long journey. After integrating many of her teachings at times things would be going much better for me, I would feel understood and finally feel connection with others, and then I would go through these long spells of things falling apart, I would feel betrayed by the good friends I thought I'd made, out of control in my professional aspirations and personal life falling apart, and like I was doomed to always choose the wrong people or let the wrong people find me everytime. The law of attraction sounded like the biggest spout of nonsense I'd ever heard, and it's the one thing I just could never see eye to eye on with Teal about, no matter how many different videos I'd listen to her trying to explain it. You see, all my life I've had an inverse relationship with positive focus. After a while however I finally started to get what she was saying about "whatever you resist persists" and how there was a molecule of truth in what she spoke about it. So I began to think about it more and more abstractly. It was frustrating. I'd read comments from others talking about these great breakthroughs they'd had in their attachments and realizations about their upbringings when it felt like I'd devoted years before this point already to unraveling attachment theory and childhood traumas and observing relationship patterns in myself and yet still could not identify how I continued to get in my own way. I was mindful. I sat with my emotions. I talked about my emotions. I asked for help when I needed it. Still... nothing but chaos and exclusion and breakdowns abided. What couldn't I see? I didn't get it. I didn't understand until now. This one, the one at the very bottom saved to my playlist that I'd been putting off watching as I eagerly searched for answers through all the rest with more potent keywords and descriptions about egos and dysfunctional relationships that I thought would help me most. I realized that just being with my emotions wasn't enough... because the end goal was always "to be better". Acknowledge that I feel sad "so I can release this emotion and *feel better".* I thought this was the way. But then she said something at last. Something that clicked for me. Something that I'd been so envious of in reading other people's comments for months and months of their catharsis and emotional wake ups and seeing through the glass. 19:31 "I'm only going to be with myself when I feel good." This single sentence in one swooping motion encompassed the root issue of every single relationship problem I have had with a human since childhood, without me even realizing. It's the law of mirroring. It's true. That's why everytime I turned my back on positive focus my life improved. That's why when I'd fall into pits of despair and allow negativity to flood my mental space my circumstances would finally begin shifting. My reality is _exactly_ what I have deemed acceptable or not acceptable within myself, reflected. It finally makes sense. And to quote Tyler Durden... my eyes are open.
Such truth being spoken here. Teal is the merging of courage, wisdom, grace, and vulnerability. She doesn't save herself, she gives herself to us so that we can heal.
Wooow, idk how many times I have watched this, but I become more and more aware and understand something else new every time I watch it!! Thanks Teal for sharing your wisdom with us!!! 💖🥰💖🥰💖💞
This is how I understand this: Think about it from the phoenix mythology. The Phoenix can regenerate and be reborn many times. Why? Because it allows itself to be ignited in the fire ( feel negative emotions) and comes out of it being it's true authentic self. What I am saying here is we should be more like the Phoenix. I think this is what she is saying.
I didn't realize it until it happened. I made the choice to quit cigarettes. That was the moment. I never practiced meditation. I just always felt like I knew what I should and shouldn't do as a child. I carried my pain and went my own way. I chose literally to listen to my feelings always. As a child too... I now understand that all I wanted was peace. And the reason I was tired was because I WAS RUNNING. You won't have any other questions when it's your time. Don't focus on escaping pain.
Teal - once again: Thank you. I find myself rewatching a lot of videos from my Just-discovered-you-Binge and realizing, that I now get them on a completely different level than a couple years back. Open roads, friendly skies.
You are an amazing vessel for Universal Truth to come into this day and age. Thank you for helping raise the vibration.. Thank you for sharing wisdom Teal.
"Let yourself sink into your pain"....Yes. Ms Teal Swan explained it well about letting go of wants & the meaning behind wanting. Another great thing she said, "walk into the eye of the storm of your suffering." Ain't that cool! I love her. She is truly deep. Thank you for sharing your gift. God Bless.
I love Teal and I totally gets this . I'd been listening to teachings of Abraham hicks, embracing the power of now and the secret (law of attraction). When my mum died I kept focusing my energy on whatever I could to make me feel better/good in each moment. Trust me it worked. However, everytime I had to consciously focus on making myself feel good I was denying a feeling that did not feel good and after a while it all resurfaced and then I felt really low, it was like focusing on positive affirmations starting causing a resistance because there were very real feelings I had to face
Thank You! ! ! 4:16 !!! 6:14ish you hit the Proverbial nail on the head! !!! 6:35 It is the most Beautiful moment, but the realization can also be painful. Realizing that want is aimless Hurts. I feel you! 8:02 Want leads us away from ourselves and our emotions. The more we want, the less we have, because we are running from ourselves and the emotions, which when properly addressed, will give us the freedom that we have been looking for throughout life. Tear's, cleanse the soul. Making it easier to recive the "blessings" Spirit and the Universe want us to have. 11:11ish I don't want so much to "heal" as to be "Whole", accepting all parts of my life and being! 15:37 Yes! You want to run from yourself but you can't. My Soul-Partner helped me through it, and to reconcile it within me. Some of us have to face more than one "tornado", though. 15:41-15:59 Like how a thunderstorm renews the Earth! After all the thunder, lighting, wind, and rain pass, there Is a serenity left behind.
When you are reliving suppressed emotional pain it can feel like you are dying, and the pain keeps on coming and coming. I agree with Teal completely, to actually stop running from the "tornado" of pain that has been following you is how to set yourself free from the fear of your own pain and have it subside. It can be very surprising to find that you have more peace as a result of not resisting emotional pain! I thought mine was never going to subside, but it actually works.
This video is so beautiful it made me cry. I know I am ready for spirituality 2.0 because I have been seeking and seeking seeking and acquiring acquiring acquiring acquiring, therapy, meditation, following my purpose, reading multiple books etc etc etc ..... nothing has ever brought me happiness And yes, it feels like the external reality of mine is trying to rip me apart Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💓 I am exactly watching what I needed
Wow! I am ready for 2.0! That's why I always felt "weird" about all the tons of practices spiritual people teach so you can get what you want. Getting what you want will never make you happy! Thank you Teal 🙏💖😘
for the first time after 15 years of spirituality im in the present moment. i comletly understood every word youve said . i did your completion prosses and since then im peacful just as i was in age 5. thank you.
She's definitely a teacher for the advanced class. I wonder if this was the video I watched years ago that made me decide to not bother with her videos. One day, I decided to give her another chance, and now I think she's brilliant, but in this video I can see why I just thought she was rambling and maybe a little full of herself.
Madelyn Today I have done the same. I watched a bit of one of her videos and I thought it was a bunch of crap. But here I am today, listening and learning. Although, I do have small thoughts of what I thought of her in the first place.
I'm probably not alone in saying what I'm about to say about, you, Teal. You have the most amazing combination of grace, serenity, intelligence and physical beauty. I so wish I could meet you. Alas, I'm in Australia and you are somewhere in the US. Thank you for your videos :-)
This is exactly the point I reached 3 days ago, with the same words and this video just appeared in my suggestions despite me watching Teal since 2015. I cried even more watching it and I cried so much realising nothing filled me up. Since then I’ve stopped wanting all of the things I wanted so badly until a week ago it’s like I have no idea anymore who I was and why I was so attached to wanting those things. I’m just sitting here crying and feeling. I have no idea what tomorrow is going to be like but it’s the first time in a long time I don’t care and I’m not trying to move towards a “better tomorrow”. Is that 2.0 ?
this video came to me at the right divine time during this mercury retrograde, its helping me understand my feelings on a deep level and show me to slow down again
This talk is GOLD. I always come back from time to time and each time I understand something different about what she's saying. Because it gets clearer and clearer every time. I think that's a sign that I'm ultimately moving towards spirituality 2.0
Goodness. What a realisation. I was in 101 for so long but then my emotions are so crippling now regardless of what I get and the joy and love I have around me. I still try to avoid by seeking out what I want but mostly I feel something is forcing me into 2.0 now because the pain (or my resistance to the pain) has pretty much stopped me from being able to function.
1:47 "... Even though, in Spirituality 1.01 You become acquainted with who You are and what You feel... It's still an external movement... towards what You want in the world... The way to end suffering within Yourself is an opposite movement: Instead of moving out into the world, we move in towards ourself...[2:09] So, the major shift is: Instead of the message being: Follow Your Joy! ... The message is: Quit Going Anywhere./ The message is: You are sitting with Yourself completely... with the totality of how You feel. It's the opposite direction of: Go into the direction of Your joy... it's: let yourself sink into your pain..! Which is not something most people are ready for. [...] In all things You can see a progression... For someone, who is in utter powerlessness and grief moving into anger is a vibrational improvement... Until they move into anger, they can't move into emotions like empowerment and like joy... [2:56] For, someone who is in complete powerlessness, they are dependent on other things. Moving into independence is a vibrational improvement, before moving into a state of interdependence, which is a close state to Source itself... [3:13] Moving into a space of empowerment and towards Your wants is a crucial movement... Unless You let Yourself go into the direction of what You want, You can't move into the next graduated step, which is to move beyond wanting... [3:28] The Buddha was trying to teach Spirituality 2.0 before people were ready for it [...] ... All wanting is trying to get You away from something You don't wanna feel... [4:14] ... all #wanting... propagates #suffering... [4:25] ... So, in the end: *Spirituality 2.0* is to move beyond wanting... [4:35] ... The Buddha was born a prince [and] taught people about the value of letting go of wants and desires... [5:21] The problem is: ... [6:21] ... [6:57] ... [7:00] (crying is a natural release...) [7:17] ... running away from our feelings, we abandon ourselves... [8:11] ... [8:21] ... no more self-abandonment. But that takes a great deal of bravery... [8:28] ... The way to end suffering is not to go in the direction of Joy... it's to walk straight into the eye of the storm of Your own suffering..." 13:56 "... how You leave suffering..." 15:34 "... Do You know how hard it is to be with the feeling of what we call a Panic Attack... But the first time, when You find out that if You don't resist that thing it passes right over the top of You... it leaves You better... "
WOW..... One of the most gorgeous & powerful spiritual talks I have ever seen. She is a gifted teacher........ Nothing but Divine Love.... to Teal & you, too !!!
OMG!!! WHY HAVE I ONLY NOW SEEN YOUR VIDEOS?! I GUESS I JUST WOKE!!! LOVE EVERYTHING YOURE EXPLAINING AND TEACHING ! YOU ARE A LIGHT IN MY DARK DAYS, THANK YOU
Okay, I think this is backwards. Here's why. I own that I'm speaking from my personal experience, in large part. So I'll tell it that way. From the personal perspective. I went to the top schools in the country. Was in law school at a top school in the country. Everything felt wrong. I hated my life. I hated myself. I escaped from all of it every chance I got. Then I went manic large-scale. It was like I was setting fire to every bridge that might connect me back to that horrible, unreal existence. That fake existence. I had, to put it mildly, a *royal* and highly public FIT. That put me in a place where I could get real. I sat - long and hard - I sat with my buried emotions. The ones that had been clawing inside me since about the age of four. I cried, sobbed, screamed, agonized with my lost childhood. With my lost years. With all the potential I might have had and sacrificed. To be - what I thought of as "loved". I had a suicide attempt. Then, long story short - I kind of got over it. I mean I still had a lot of healing to do, but that really needed to happen and it got me over it. It was the low point I needed. The fear and sick desire I needed to fully embrace and experience before I could move on. It was the full expression of my pain. It was my way of telling others: "THIS IS HOW BAD IT IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN. SEE ME." Then I was able to start toying with the idea of want. To start feeling the essence of joy. To begin, slowly, to live it. I did not trust it at first, since it was so foreign, I was raised (organized) Christian, and it felt like such a precious and delicate thing I feared it might flutter away the second I started to cling to it, or believe in it, or - interestingly - have faith in it. That was the point at which my ability to direct myself toward want opened up. I came from a place of "no-lack", of "abundance" - if and ONLY if you define it the way Teal does here when she speaks of the Buddha's upbringing. There is no lack like the lack of having everything you don't want and nothing you truly need. So here is where I differ from her assessment. I do not think the "sitting in your suffering" place is Spirituality 2.0. I think it is Spirituality 101. Spirituality 2.0 is enduring Spirituality 101, embracing Spirituality 101, coming not to fear it. Then moving in the direction of your joy every moment, every second, as it becomes more and more natural to you. The key is you continue to sit with your pain as it arises. But this is no longer a sad or scary or particularly painful thing, if you've fully explored Spirituality 101. Instead of being met with the wellspring of emotions that arise when you revisit a devastatingly emotionally lacking childhood unhealed - which is frankly what I see happening with Teal in this video - each new moment and experience of pain comes in piecemeal. It is pain in the present, rather than a mountain of unmet needs that have not yet been dealt with. That is manageable. You fully sit with and honor those emotions. Then you ask yourself what they have to teach you. Then, you move on. With incredibly elegant ease. It is like you can breathe again. (Finally.) That, for me, is the feeling-space of Spirituality 2.0. You are now set free to figure out what you truly want. To learn day by day what brings you joy. To experience joy as we were meant to experience it. Partly from getting what we want. Partly from being pleasantly surprised that what we thought we wanted, we maybe didn't want, since what we got instead has brought us so much joy it's like the universe knew us better than ourselves, or better than we thought it did. (As Teal says.) Spirituality 2.0 cannot possibly be about sitting in pain. About *living* in pain. As Teal has said in other videos, the great lie we tell ourselves is that suffering and pain are somehow good. That they improve us. That they are the way to achieve enlightenment. That is not true. Joy is enlightenment. It is the only truth. It simply ("simply" is an outrageous word choice here) - requires sitting with your past pain, first. For as long as it takes, until it feels heard. Understood. Valued, and validated. Then you can become who you were always meant to be. A person who is mostly "in the now". A person who knows true joy. (Have a good week.)
When you say « I still have a lot of healing to do. » you are still considering yourself something in need of «heal». The message Teal is trying to convey here is that there is nothing to heal. You are who you are and all those negative emotions are you and to feel normal again you need to feel them until the last sniff.
@@chadwilson2333 you sound hooked on Teal always being right, and indeed she makes sense. Remember, however, that she reversed a spiritual truth from Buddha. Personally, I have found that many spiritual truths are also true in reverse, and each direction is beneficial to some more than others. There's no shame in thinking things through for yourself. "Look before you leap" and "Just do it" both carry wisdom, depending which helps you.
From my heart I say that Teal Swam is a truly enlightened person and a great teacher of truth I yearn to meet her personally and know her more intimately, learn from her directly. Eze Matthew

Source speaking through Teal is absolutely wonderful. Grateful for moments like this. Thank you Teal!
This is so true. She is so correct in the fact we have to feel so much pain and bring it inward. Only then while going through it you will have moments of peace. To me it was seconds of peace. Then right back to emotional pain. Years I've been through this, but the peace is longer and the pain is lessening. I'm very much on my journey. It does get better for anyone who is in pain, the kind of pain that feels like you can't take it. There will be peace. Today was the first time I've watched this by Teal. I never knew why I was feeling all that pain. Now I know I brought it to myself. Continue your journey to the other side. Authenticity...
When I face a negative thought or person or situation I try to analyze it and try to figure out why I have manifested it. When I dive deep in the reason of its manifestation I become liberated from the negative impulse or emotion that I eas getting from it.
I just empty my mind of thoughts and focus on things that make me smile in the moment...I don't see the need to focus on the past unless you can learn something from it...If that is wrong I am gonna keep being wrong because for the last 10 months I have been happy every single day instead of living in constant FEAR and worry...I'll take joy every time...I have already experienced all the negative crap I care to experience for over 50 years...This 2.0 does not make sense because if you are a negative human being you are saying to be who you really are "NEGATIVE", no way...That is not changing for the better, that seem to keep you stuck in the mud of where you are... I am going to have to think about this some more because this is way out in left field for me...
felt something similar here. a little bit dissapointed to be told to be ok to experience negative emotions over and over and over till when? till the storm passes and you forget? or till you learn that it really really hurt you? this video left me quit confused and hesitating about believe anything from anyone anymore. thanks for your thoughts!
vralicia there is truth to what Teal is teaching. I think that in the future you will see her message shift a bit more and what you are seeing is her going through her own experience of coming to terms with her own emotions. Her life was devastatingly abusive on many levels (as was mine). she's wise but she has more to learn (and Im sure she will laugh at my statement here but that's ok). She's going THROUGH 'something'. She does know her business though as it relates to being a spiritual teacher. So far she has not taught me any new information with relation to emotional and spiritual healing/teaching but I agree with most of what she says. Ive had my own path, my own lessons and experiences to bring me to the place that I am. It is my opinion (which is subject to change) that Teal is trying to teach others what she is going through. You may or may not 'get there'/ 'go there'/ or CHOOSE that path. And that's ok. You are just fine where you are and must not discount or the words of wisdom Teal imparts. Trust your own guidance system. Trust your own intution. If this doesn't resonate with you and yet her other teachings do then just "shelf" this one but dont lose heart. If it confuses you that's ok too. You dont have to 'get' everything she says or that anyone says. You don't have to believe it either for the rest of it to 'work' for you. Hang in there !

Carla Curlee thanks a lot for this post, I did notice Teal is going trough some strong stuff as she reflects it in this video so obvious, but it did make me feel a little sad cause i'm going trough stuff also, and trying my best to be happy and follow happyness as my path as my guide system, and then she comes and basically says that telling to myself every "what would someone that love herself would do?" or any other example of what she has taught me during hours and hours and hours i've been watching her old videos is just a way to fool ourselves? it was very dissapointing cause is like nothing will ever be right till you actually be with your pain¡? yeah it deff didnt resonate with me......and so far everything else she said did....i guess im not that "advanced" or in that place where i actually wanna be with myself entirely..... i dunno...but thanks! a lot maybe is time to move on to another teacher....one that is not going trough the same as i am and can see my life from another angle .... will see..... thanks!
***** completely agree thanks for helping me se it now is like right now i feel some random physical pain and instead of resisting it with pain killers im allowing myself to feel it and understand where it comes from but from a positive angle as in my pain helps me release a past trauma that is trying to tell me something that i forgot or never forgave...this is excellent thanks to all and thanks to TheSpiritualCatalyst to teach us that is human to feel also pain as JOY and be with it and she deff inwons some new type of higher peace in her path.... namaste brothers
Yeah, what she's talking about it to always be present with yourself, if you feel happy be with that happiness, if you feel sad be with that sadness. It has most definitely worked in my personal practice to resolve a lot of issues and move into a more balanced experience of life.
I know what you mean. Wait, beter said: I feel you. Great self insight. Have experienced the same, here. Moving on... Long way to go...yet, moving forward... Wishing you the same! Keep sharing your insights! and, ofcourse: Thank you in doing so! 💞
Hey, Swan.. Jesus!... I'm here, in Brazil, and cant stop, for hours, watching your videos... ^^ Listen to this... We can't just imagine, we can feel that you've been in that space of real truth and oneness. OMG... Your soul is so beautiful and brilliant... So, thanks for these wonderful teachings, and be sure, lots of people are benefiting all over the world. "I see you". =] Gasshô. LJ, PR-Brazil.
When the student is ready the Teal Swan video will appear in your feed.
Omg I feel exactly the same! Every single time....
But when you are truly ready, her videos will disappear and you will become the teacher for others
Loool true
@@crystalidx I've thought about what you said here. Can you expand on this?
@@Acrocanthosaurus it is from a eastern proverb.
When the student is ready the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready... The teacher will Disappear.

Carl Jung said it well "There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."
Great quote. But strictly speaking, there is no method to attain enlightenment. I am afraid to see IT here and now, so I go out and find myself a spiritual practice to postpone it indefinitely.
Is this why some people have "bad trips" when doing psychedelic drugs?
+Michael Schmidt ....oh really? what a dilemma u've talked urself into. lets see oh wise one uh, here & now is all we have and ur afraid to see IT, HERE & NOW. so you postpone IT because you dont want IT because ur afraid so yea no belief system will work cause u dont want IT, since ur afraid OF IT. so based upon that logic and the trillions of people who have found IT ("spiritual enlightenment/awakening") whatever u choose to call IT. anyone choosing to listen to you compared to the trillions of people experiencing IT (s.e.) is just as afraid (paralyzing fear) so much so that they & u will do anything to avoid this experience, IT, including self-destruction, murdering just about anyone, all at the behest of your cowardice. seems the compassionate thing to do is (since u trend towards keeping ur head in the sand, is heroin, alcohol, or other self-destructive behavior, give IT all you got till youre out of your misery, surrendering WITH to pleas of mercy, thereby obtaining your contact w something bigger than your POOR SUFFERING LITTLE EGO. AND that way be of benefit to self, IT, and humanity. so u see there is hope you find IT SOON

Carl Jung was amazing much more intuitive than Freud. in fact I read that when he told Freud about his idea of synchronicity Freud got really angry.
What we do in the darkness is always important... little example: -Deacon : Come on Mister, eat the bascetti... -Mr Babadook: Can I please have some worms instead? :3
What you are saying is true, one time I almost drown at the beach, I step in and a strong wave took me in, the current took me so far away that nobody could hear that I was screaming for help, I drank a lot of salty water trying to to swim back in. I was super tired and almost gave up, so I thought to myself at that moment, people that drown die because the get desperate, so said, God I am tired I put my life in your hands, he said just relax and run the wave, I did and got out. I didn't resist anymore,I was one with the waves. The rip tides where so strong that day that 4 people die that day. We need to become one with God (ourselves) and listen to the whisper of our wisdom, because God lives inside of us.
Wow! Amazing.
nice
+Jacqueline Pavan Go with the flow n let everythign else go. YOU DID IT! n Lived. Nothing can ever take that away from you. Youve felt the oneness. YEAY! :) NJOY
+Brian Bibi Thank you :)
Thank you!
I spent a solid year doing this. Feeling everything. I did minimal. Just enough to survive- sleep, eat, shower, dress. Everything she said is exactly true. It feels like hell but at the same time I was feeling happy that I could feel that sadness. Now as I reintegrate into life I take the time to notice resistance and feel whatever I feel. I am so grateful that I had this experience and that I was supported through it by incredibly compassionate people. I find myself frequently with 1 foot in 101 and the other foot in 2.0. But now it’s with awareness and allowing. ❤
I have just realised by watching your video that I have been abandoning myself my entire life. I have been running away from my feelings and suppressing it with all my power. Now I came to a crossroad in my life where I can´t run from my feelings anymore and I have to sit with it and face how I feel which is excruciating. It feels like a living hell and I believe that the only way to get through it is to surrender completely. I want to thank you for opening my eyes for a possibility of finding inner joy and peace. Thank you Teal.
I feel the same way so wondering where I am as not determined what I want or desire in 101 either.
Love love love LOVE sending all the love your way ❤️🙌🏽
Sending source love and console and being vibes your way that you may grow in love
I really appreciate this woman...
I agree
(Thumbs up emoji!)
I love teal too. I watch her videos often and learned how to be a better man. I accept others faults and dont take personally when I'm hurt. I own my shortcomings and allow others to make mistakes too. Teal is the wisest human being alive in my opinion
Love her
wonderfully expounded but... our be all and end all? no.
I'm so not ready for spirituality 2.0. I still need my 1 million dollars. You are great Teal. ❤
😂
Check out spirituality 3.0 😅
Just 1 million dollars in this economy 😮
I wanted to be a teacher. After Teal I would rather just listen and tell others to listen to her. :-)
Cool, because we have to WORK.......do you get it ? That is what she teaches, spirituality is practice of life, and that is hard work.....you serve your purpose and at the same time serve humanity. But you do need food and shelter first....so you need it yourself, and you can built this for others as well......
Maybe you could teach similar things, than maybe more people would get that knowledge. :) But I get what you mean.
That’s how I’m feeling right now a little bit but I’m trying to take inspiration from this. If I can inspire others with my words in the same way she’s made me feel less alone in my spiritual path, then that’s an objective win for humanity
amazing, totally ❤
"you're damaging yourself the minute you say I wanna heal"👍
Are you serious! Wow I didn’t know this!
I am living this truth. 🙏 One day In my chronic bed ridden pain of 2 years, I said to my nerve pain( along with cancelling all my doctor appointments and completely taking myself of all medications), my illness it could stay or go either way I accept what is. I gave in to it. It's been 6 months of no longer being bed ridden and the days my pain rises I head towards it, it has so many messages and I'm learning so much about myself 💓. Recently I found Teal Swan videos and I'm so very grateful this message is out there.
It's so funny. I listened to this almost a year ago, and thought I was ready to go into the "eye of the storm". She was very right, I tried to jump to the next level and I clearly wasn't ready. I was still resisiting the hit, or the pain of my feelings and wishing it was/I was different. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I got to this point of Spirituality 2.0, where it's okay to feel all of it. If I feel it, I feel it fully. I have enjoyed the present moment, fleeting moments of bliss and happiness, sinking into my pain and not asking it to change, knowing that no one and nothing else externally can give me what I need. I was also given Eckhart Tolle's power of now which REALLY helped me understand this, and propell me to this point. Asking nothing to change, accepting things as they are, as well as physically doing what you need to and moving forward in your life still knowing that YOU have to take care of YOU before you achieve "bliss" or "authenticity". It's really beautiful at this moment. Even with my interactions with other people has been so much easier and my life situations. It's all a growing practice.
yes it is all come from your being not from your doing. people believe work hard make them to be happy, not that is true at all, being happy while work, make you smart. you dont even feel like you working effortless.. effortless that produce all amzing things to life at a short time, not effort at all. do what you love, not love what you do.. when we do what we love, that is effortless, but love what we do, forcing our self to love that doesn't work.. first to begin with love not with effort at all.
2 or 3 years ago, when i first saw this talk by Teal, it hit me deeply, though i wasn't really living it. Today i feel this wisdom has seeped in my, the undoing has happened, is happening. Be patient and faithful, watch it unfold.
One of the most beautiful insightful messages in this channel
I agree !
This is one of the most powerful videos I have ever watched, and that is saying something. I'm newly in the 2.0 phase so there are still a few lessons floating through from the 101 as it's completing the process. The best thing I have ever done for myself is stop running and just let the pain and hurt take me and be 100% in it fully. It was absolute hell. It was like being in a tsunami and there was nothing I could do but let it have me. And, all I did was lay on my bedroom floor for several days of sometimes crying sometimes just laying there doing nothing until it was all over. I laugh now, but it was the scariest, most liberating thing I have ever done in my life. And, it took a long time and a lot of internal work to get me to that moment where I could just shatter completely. Sometimes it seems so surreal to me that I am basically a whole new human being. At least that is how it feels to me. That line, 'stop feeling good so people will love you', will have me seeing stars for days.
The most recent thing I have finally integrated into myself is being totally okay with uncertainty (Thank you for that video, too.) and being uncomfortable in the unknowing of what may or may not be coming my way. Naturally, the Universe has seen fit to test this theory. I'm in a sudden sticky situation with money for the first time in several years. I hate it. I effing hate it. But, along with that is this intense blanket of comfort wrapped around me as I am very much not at all comfortable in this situation and I'm not going to pretend otherwise, to myself or anyone else. Today it hit me, the last time I was in an unfortunate financial situation that was not at all the story. I had family visiting me at the worst timing. They were actually worried about my health I was so freaked out about it. Now, look at me. Steady as a rock. I still feel 'not good' about it, but I can glance back and see that the previous money situation resolved itself back then, and it'll do it this time, too. Probably even better. I'm not scared. Well, a little. But, mostly I am excited. I am in, for me, a very uncomfortable situation and I somehow still feel calm, joyful, and optimistic. Until recently, I didn't know feeling the 'negative' and the 'positive' at the same time was even an option. This world is so seemingly weird and upside down sometimes. I love it.
So inspired by what you shared. Excited and nervous as hell to start embracing the pain, but I know there's no where else to run, so in a way, that's comforting that I am ready for a new phase in my life, even if it is going to be agonizing.
very insightful to hear this perspective, thanks for sharing. I'm coming to being okay with uncertainty..preparing yet letting go and trusting the unknown.. total presence, that's the aim. Do you find your social circle changing since shifting more into this phase? ThoughI can imagine one can hold their own better in social situations, with the increased inner stability
Thank you! 🤗
I’m literally in tears. I’ve seen this video before, but 4 years after the first time I saw it, I’m realizing what she means. What a huge epiphany to have. Teal ❤️💕
Please keep this up forever. This is the single most important video I have watched to date and I'm positive so many others feel the same. Thank you.
I am a teenager and understand what she is saying. I have friends that say that their parents dont understand them but in reality their parents refuse to think back to the time when they had all those problems because it was hard and hurt them emotionally so they ran from those feelings. Them running away caused them not wanting to remember or relive those experiences so they dont try to understand using there past but try to understand and fix what is happening in the present
I think its more that parent see it as pay back time. This is what they went through so now they get to control someone else.
I think I had very good parents in general but my father made me feel like I'm being difficult when I was being rebellious. It's a strange time and nearly none of us will have parents leading us the right way in that important age. Guess you're not a teenager any more now. ;)
Elizabeth Mathlin yup, my mom says she does not care that I’m sad, she just wants to go out and party and she does not want me to “put her down”.
hiiii
When the student is ready the teacher appears... This is exactly what I'm working on right now.... sitting still in pain and allowing it. Really... I'm so grateful for this video...
Apparently everyone commenting here is spirituality 2.0. I'm definitely 1.0 🙋🏽 I barely understand what she says, let's see how much I understand in 6 months from now.
Yissel Herrera just keep listening, and absorb all of her amazing information. Take it in small bits, the first 5 minutes is so profoundly beautiful. Just listen to 5 minutes. Stop, breathe it in, and listen to it again.
Yissel Herrera ... it's 6 months later... how are you feeling?
Now she’s doing his silent reflection periods. This is comical.
I am so emotionally scrambled.
How are things? :)
This concept so deep it's hard for people to take on. I can tell you from experience she is 100% correct. I had everything i wanted & couldn't figure out why I still felt like crap sometimes. Well, firstly I'm an empath so I pick up a bunch of emotions that aren't mine. Secondly, you do have to be present with what you are feeling to move forward with your ascension process. Once you clear those feelings and your thoughts you can get to that space of emptiness, singularity, where you find you are nothing and everything at the same time. The key is to let go off all attachments, to everything & everyone. This is not easy but is the path to balance, unity consciousness, & joy.
Do you feel as though it is a point you just get to? Or is it an ebb and flow of seeking/wanting and reminding to come back to unconditional presence. Great username btw lol
She's wise, she shares her perspective on many subjects and she's still growing spiritually. This is all ok Many people put too much emphasis on the appearance of someone who involves themself with spirituality and shares wisdom. Just take in the information and put it through an intuitive truth filter. Is spirituality all smiles and happiness? Definitely not:
i know that a great deal of what she says is right because I'm going through the exact same thing. As soon as you stand still and become silent, old wounds will open and any old dirt in those wounds will come to the surface so you can heal. This means that a lot of pain will surface. Some days you will have done nothing wrong and yet the entire day you'll feel like something is off and even though you're doing your meditation and anything to keep you happy you'll feel like you aren't as happy as you could be. This can be incredibly confusing. It takes a lot of courage to just drop everything, stand still and take it in, especially because you don't know how long this feeling will last till you're done processing it. Great spiritual growth takes a tremendous amount of courage.
Bas Waaijer your comment is relevant
well said
I have had many of these revelations on my own. It's good to hear someone else say it for validation.
We all have
I love her casual quiet air huffing laugh, it just an ice breaker meanwhile her contents are serious topics
Easily Teal's best video. This is one I've watched several times over and I'm sure I will keep coming back to it throughout my life.
I've been watching Teal Swan videos for close to a year now. I found her when I first began looking into shadow work. However, it's been a long journey. After integrating many of her teachings at times things would be going much better for me, I would feel understood and finally feel connection with others, and then I would go through these long spells of things falling apart, I would feel betrayed by the good friends I thought I'd made, out of control in my professional aspirations and personal life falling apart, and like I was doomed to always choose the wrong people or let the wrong people find me everytime.
The law of attraction sounded like the biggest spout of nonsense I'd ever heard, and it's the one thing I just could never see eye to eye on with Teal about, no matter how many different videos I'd listen to her trying to explain it. You see, all my life I've had an inverse relationship with positive focus. After a while however I finally started to get what she was saying about "whatever you resist persists" and how there was a molecule of truth in what she spoke about it. So I began to think about it more and more abstractly. It was frustrating. I'd read comments from others talking about these great breakthroughs they'd had in their attachments and realizations about their upbringings when it felt like I'd devoted years before this point already to unraveling attachment theory and childhood traumas and observing relationship patterns in myself and yet still could not identify how I continued to get in my own way.
I was mindful. I sat with my emotions. I talked about my emotions. I asked for help when I needed it. Still... nothing but chaos and exclusion and breakdowns abided. What couldn't I see? I didn't get it. I didn't understand until now. This one, the one at the very bottom saved to my playlist that I'd been putting off watching as I eagerly searched for answers through all the rest with more potent keywords and descriptions about egos and dysfunctional relationships that I thought would help me most. I realized that just being with my emotions wasn't enough... because the end goal was always "to be better". Acknowledge that I feel sad "so I can release this emotion and *feel better".* I thought this was the way. But then she said something at last. Something that clicked for me. Something that I'd been so envious of in reading other people's comments for months and months of their catharsis and emotional wake ups and seeing through the glass.
19:31 "I'm only going to be with myself when I feel good." This single sentence in one swooping motion encompassed the root issue of every single relationship problem I have had with a human since childhood, without me even realizing. It's the law of mirroring. It's true. That's why everytime I turned my back on positive focus my life improved. That's why when I'd fall into pits of despair and allow negativity to flood my mental space my circumstances would finally begin shifting. My reality is _exactly_ what I have deemed acceptable or not acceptable within myself, reflected. It finally makes sense. And to quote Tyler Durden... my eyes are open.
Such truth being spoken here. Teal is the merging of courage, wisdom, grace, and vulnerability. She doesn't save herself, she gives herself to us so that we can heal.
She has that lioness look in her eyes
you cry, I cry. thank you so much teal
Teal, I love your transparency, vulnerability and honest and thought provoking perspectives.
Wooow, idk how many times I have watched this, but I become more and more aware and understand something else new every time I watch it!! Thanks Teal for sharing your wisdom with us!!! 💖🥰💖🥰💖💞
I could tell she was about to cry a minute before it broke my heart
Yup. She actually cried for about 6 hours when this happened.
Andre Perry how do you know??
This is how I understand this: Think about it from the phoenix mythology. The Phoenix can regenerate and be reborn many times. Why? Because it allows itself to be ignited in the fire ( feel negative emotions) and comes out of it being it's true authentic self. What I am saying here is we should be more like the Phoenix. I think this is what she is saying.
Freedom from suffering attracts freedom from suffering.
Thank you so much for this train of thought it helped me A LOT with the resistance i had towards shadow work
I didn't realize it until it happened. I made the choice to quit cigarettes. That was the moment. I never practiced meditation. I just always felt like I knew what I should and shouldn't do as a child. I carried my pain and went my own way. I chose literally to listen to my feelings always. As a child too... I now understand that all I wanted was peace. And the reason I was tired was because I WAS RUNNING. You won't have any other questions when it's your time. Don't focus on escaping pain.
Teal - once again: Thank you.
I find myself rewatching a lot of videos from my Just-discovered-you-Binge and realizing, that I now get them on a completely different level than a couple years back.
Open roads, friendly skies.
You are an amazing vessel for Universal Truth to come into this day and age. Thank you for helping raise the vibration.. Thank you for sharing wisdom Teal.
To me this is the most important of all Teal's videos. The essence of her teaching. Amazing. Such strong message!
This is probably the best video on spirituality that I have ever seen.
:)
Most useful and truthful thing I have ever heard, love the emotion too.
I couldn't agree with you more ❤️ Sending lots of love 🙏
Wholeness=oneness
I just understood this video...my mind is blown away....only took me 44 years ;) Thank you Teal, you are the best - I owe so much to you
"The way to end suffering is not to go in the direction of joy, it's to walk straight into the eye of the storm"
"Let yourself sink into your pain"....Yes. Ms Teal Swan explained it well about letting go of wants & the meaning behind wanting. Another great thing she said, "walk into the eye of the storm of your suffering." Ain't that cool! I love her. She is truly deep. Thank you for sharing your gift. God Bless.
Wow. .. I'm speechless... This is the answer I've been searching my entire life...❤️❤️
It's a huge risk that paid off, Teal. You da bomb.
I love Teal and I totally gets this . I'd been listening to teachings of Abraham hicks, embracing the power of now and the secret (law of attraction). When my mum died I kept focusing my energy on whatever I could to make me feel better/good in each moment. Trust me it worked. However, everytime I had to consciously focus on making myself feel good I was denying a feeling that did not feel good and after a while it all resurfaced and then I felt really low, it was like focusing on positive affirmations starting causing a resistance because there were very real feelings I had to face
thank you teal for your courage to vulnerably share your teachings
Teal is beautiful even when she cries, because she authentic about her feelings. Beautiful in every way.
"The now is a bi-product of being yourself."
~Teal Swan
*byproduct
It made me happy to hear you say nothing U can ever do can make me happy!
Let go of your pain teal!
And in doing so you will create an energy that the rest of the world will get to experience.
Much Love Teal :x
This is without a shadow of a doubt the most powerful Teal Swan video I've ever watched. Too many mic drops. Will need to rewatch a few times 🙌
Thank You! ! !
4:16 !!!
6:14ish you hit the Proverbial nail on the head! !!!
6:35 It is the most Beautiful moment, but the realization can also be painful. Realizing that want is aimless Hurts. I feel you!
8:02 Want leads us away from ourselves and our emotions. The more we want, the less we have, because we are running from ourselves and the emotions, which when properly addressed, will give us the freedom that we have been looking for throughout life.
Tear's, cleanse the soul. Making it easier to recive the "blessings" Spirit and the Universe want us to have.
11:11ish I don't want so much to "heal" as to be "Whole", accepting all parts of my life and being!
15:37 Yes! You want to run from yourself but you can't. My Soul-Partner helped me through it, and to reconcile it within me.
Some of us have to face more than one "tornado", though.
15:41-15:59 Like how a thunderstorm renews the Earth! After all the thunder, lighting, wind, and rain pass, there Is a serenity left behind.
When you are reliving suppressed emotional pain it can feel like you are dying, and the pain keeps on coming and coming. I agree with Teal completely, to actually stop running from the "tornado" of pain that has been following you is how to set yourself free from the fear of your own pain and have it subside. It can be very surprising to find that you have more peace as a result of not resisting emotional pain! I thought mine was never going to subside, but it actually works.
This video is so beautiful it made me cry. I know I am ready for spirituality 2.0 because I have been seeking and seeking seeking and acquiring acquiring acquiring acquiring, therapy, meditation, following my purpose, reading multiple books etc etc etc ..... nothing has ever brought me happiness
And yes, it feels like the external reality of mine is trying to rip me apart
Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💓
I am exactly watching what I needed
Wow! I am ready for 2.0! That's why I always felt "weird" about all the tons of practices spiritual people teach so you can get what you want. Getting what you want will never make you happy! Thank you Teal 🙏💖😘
for the first time after 15 years of spirituality im in the present moment. i comletly understood every word youve said . i did your completion prosses and since then im peacful just as i was in age 5. thank you.
She is spot on about zeh wanting and Buddha... what a brave woman...
She's definitely a teacher for the advanced class.
I wonder if this was the video I watched years ago that made me decide to not bother with her videos. One day, I decided to give her another chance, and now I think she's brilliant, but in this video I can see why I just thought she was rambling and maybe a little full of herself.
Madelyn Today I have done the same. I watched a bit of one of her videos and I thought it was a bunch of crap. But here I am today, listening and learning. Although, I do have small thoughts of what I thought of her in the first place.
I'm probably not alone in saying what I'm about to say about, you, Teal. You have the most amazing combination of grace, serenity, intelligence and physical beauty. I so wish I could meet you. Alas, I'm in Australia and you are somewhere in the US. Thank you for your videos :-)
The greatest mind of a woman l have ever seen.
WOW TEAL, LIKE ALWAYS I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR VIDEO, THATS ALL FEEL RIGHT NOW, WOW!
Thank you dear Teal. ❤🌿🔥🍀🌒🌕🌘🍀🔥🌿❤ Namasté and Blessed Be.
This is exactly the point I reached 3 days ago, with the same words and this video just appeared in my suggestions despite me watching Teal since 2015. I cried even more watching it and I cried so much realising nothing filled me up. Since then I’ve stopped wanting all of the things I wanted so badly until a week ago it’s like I have no idea anymore who I was and why I was so attached to wanting those things. I’m just sitting here crying and feeling. I have no idea what tomorrow is going to be like but it’s the first time in a long time I don’t care and I’m not trying to move towards a “better tomorrow”. Is that 2.0 ?
This was very, very helpful to me.
Thank you Teal.
this video came to me at the right divine time during this mercury retrograde, its helping me understand my feelings on a deep level and show me to slow down again
This talk is GOLD. I always come back from time to time and each time I understand something different about what she's saying. Because it gets clearer and clearer every time. I think that's a sign that I'm ultimately moving towards spirituality 2.0
Not a big Teal Swan fan, but this feels appropriate with everything and given the date ahead of its time.
Goodness. What a realisation. I was in 101 for so long but then my emotions are so crippling now regardless of what I get and the joy and love I have around me. I still try to avoid by seeking out what I want but mostly I feel something is forcing me into 2.0 now because the pain (or my resistance to the pain) has pretty much stopped me from being able to function.
she is so beautiful in every way
she's absolutely beautiful inside and out :,)
There is no way out of suffering. Spirituality is a gift.
All of my life I've been waiting for my life to start. Now I understand why. I've been running from myself the whole time
Teal, seriously. Brilliant.
1:47 "... Even though, in Spirituality 1.01 You become acquainted with who You are and what You feel... It's still an external movement... towards what You want in the world... The way to end suffering within Yourself is an opposite movement: Instead of moving out into the world, we move in towards ourself...[2:09] So, the major shift is: Instead of the message being: Follow Your Joy! ... The message is: Quit Going Anywhere./ The message is: You are sitting with Yourself completely... with the totality of how You feel. It's the opposite direction of: Go into the direction of Your joy... it's: let yourself sink into your pain..! Which is not something most people are ready for. [...] In all things You can see a progression... For someone, who is in utter powerlessness and grief moving into anger is a vibrational improvement... Until they move into anger, they can't move into emotions like empowerment and like joy... [2:56] For, someone who is in complete powerlessness, they are dependent on other things. Moving into independence is a vibrational improvement, before moving into a state of interdependence, which is a close state to Source itself... [3:13] Moving into a space of empowerment and towards Your wants is a crucial movement... Unless You let Yourself go into the direction of what You want, You can't move into the next graduated step, which is to move beyond wanting... [3:28] The Buddha was trying to teach Spirituality 2.0 before people were ready for it [...] ... All wanting is trying to get You away from something You don't wanna feel... [4:14] ... all #wanting... propagates #suffering... [4:25] ... So, in the end: *Spirituality 2.0* is to move beyond wanting... [4:35] ... The Buddha was born a prince [and] taught people about the value of letting go of wants and desires... [5:21] The problem is: ... [6:21] ... [6:57] ... [7:00] (crying is a natural release...) [7:17] ... running away from our feelings, we abandon ourselves... [8:11] ... [8:21] ... no more self-abandonment. But that takes a great deal of bravery... [8:28] ... The way to end suffering is not to go in the direction of Joy... it's to walk straight into the eye of the storm of Your own suffering..."
13:56 "... how You leave suffering..."
15:34 "... Do You know how hard it is to be with the feeling of what we call a Panic Attack... But the first time, when You find out that if You don't resist that thing it passes right over the top of You... it leaves You better... "

Teal Swan Thank You very much for this viedo..
Okay, I think this is backwards. Here's why. I own that I'm speaking from my personal experience, in large part.
So I'll tell it that way. From the personal perspective. I went to the top schools in the country. Was in law school at a top school in the country. Everything felt wrong. I hated my life. I hated myself. I escaped from all of it every chance I got.
Then I went manic large-scale. It was like I was setting fire to every bridge that might connect me back to that horrible, unreal existence. That fake existence. I had, to put it mildly, a *royal* and highly public FIT.
That put me in a place where I could get real. I sat - long and hard - I sat with my buried emotions. The ones that had been clawing inside me since about the age of four. I cried, sobbed, screamed, agonized with my lost childhood. With my lost years. With all the potential I might have had and sacrificed. To be - what I thought of as "loved".
I had a suicide attempt. Then, long story short - I kind of got over it. I mean I still had a lot of healing to do, but that really needed to happen and it got me over it. It was the low point I needed. The fear and sick desire I needed to fully embrace and experience before I could move on. It was the full expression of my pain. It was my way of telling others: "THIS IS HOW BAD IT IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN. SEE ME."
Then I was able to start toying with the idea of want. To start feeling the essence of joy. To begin, slowly, to live it. I did not trust it at first, since it was so foreign, I was raised (organized) Christian, and it felt like such a precious and delicate thing I feared it might flutter away the second I started to cling to it, or believe in it, or - interestingly - have faith in it.
That was the point at which my ability to direct myself toward want opened up. I came from a place of "no-lack", of "abundance" - if and ONLY if you define it the way Teal does here when she speaks of the Buddha's upbringing.
There is no lack like the lack of having everything you don't want and nothing you truly need.
So here is where I differ from her assessment. I do not think the "sitting in your suffering" place is Spirituality 2.0. I think it is Spirituality 101. Spirituality 2.0 is enduring Spirituality 101, embracing Spirituality 101, coming not to fear it. Then moving in the direction of your joy every moment, every second, as it becomes more and more natural to you.
The key is you continue to sit with your pain as it arises. But this is no longer a sad or scary or particularly painful thing, if you've fully explored Spirituality 101. Instead of being met with the wellspring of emotions that arise when you revisit a devastatingly emotionally lacking childhood unhealed - which is frankly what I see happening with Teal in this video - each new moment and experience of pain comes in piecemeal. It is pain in the present, rather than a mountain of unmet needs that have not yet been dealt with. That is manageable. You fully sit with and honor those emotions. Then you ask yourself what they have to teach you. Then, you move on. With incredibly elegant ease. It is like you can breathe again. (Finally.)
That, for me, is the feeling-space of Spirituality 2.0. You are now set free to figure out what you truly want. To learn day by day what brings you joy. To experience joy as we were meant to experience it. Partly from getting what we want. Partly from being pleasantly surprised that what we thought we wanted, we maybe didn't want, since what we got instead has brought us so much joy it's like the universe knew us better than ourselves, or better than we thought it did. (As Teal says.)
Spirituality 2.0 cannot possibly be about sitting in pain. About *living* in pain. As Teal has said in other videos, the great lie we tell ourselves is that suffering and pain are somehow good. That they improve us. That they are the way to achieve enlightenment. That is not true.
Joy is enlightenment. It is the only truth. It simply ("simply" is an outrageous word choice here) - requires sitting with your past pain, first. For as long as it takes, until it feels heard. Understood. Valued, and validated.
Then you can become who you were always meant to be. A person who is mostly "in the now". A person who knows true joy.
(Have a good week.)
Thank you man.
When you say « I still have a lot of healing to do. » you are still considering yourself something in need of «heal». The message Teal is trying to convey here is that there is nothing to heal. You are who you are and all those negative emotions are you and to feel normal again you need to feel them until the last sniff.
Sorry you just want Teal to be wrong so you can be happy feeling good
@@chadwilson2333 you sound hooked on Teal always being right, and indeed she makes sense. Remember, however, that she reversed a spiritual truth from Buddha. Personally, I have found that many spiritual truths are also true in reverse, and each direction is beneficial to some more than others. There's no shame in thinking things through for yourself.
"Look before you leap" and "Just do it" both carry wisdom, depending which helps you.
Makes sense for me!
Swan K 👂 The student is ready. Thank you
From my heart I say that Teal Swam is a truly enlightened person and a great teacher of truth
I yearn to meet her personally and know her more intimately, learn from her directly. Eze Matthew
Source speaking through Teal is absolutely wonderful. Grateful for moments like this. Thank you Teal!
Deep. Good to see and hear it this way
"Fastest way to become rich is to become poor first"
Zen says oh good logic. Throw your 100$ and ask 1$ from 100 men you will have 1000 $ now.
this is by far your best video ^^
It's amazing. So well put.
I totally agree. It is so real.
This is so true. She is so correct in the fact we have to feel so much pain and bring it inward. Only then while going through it you will have moments of peace. To me it was seconds of peace. Then right back to emotional pain. Years I've been through this, but the peace is longer and the pain is lessening. I'm very much on my journey. It does get better for anyone who is in pain, the kind of pain that feels like you can't take it. There will be peace.
Today was the first time I've watched this by Teal. I never knew why I was feeling all that pain. Now I know I brought it to myself. Continue your journey to the other side. Authenticity...
This was such an incredible teaching. Thank you.
Beautiful, Teal.
It's called Spirituality 2.0 How to Set Yourself Free.
When I face a negative thought or person or situation I try to analyze it and try to figure out why I have manifested it. When I dive deep in the reason of its manifestation I become liberated from the negative impulse or emotion that I eas getting from it.
This had a huge impact on me, i guess i wasn't ready for the message
Teal is the most authentic spiritual teacher. 💯
I dont want anything materialistic I was seeking companionship but I was here the hole time.I found my mind.Thank you Teal
I just empty my mind of thoughts and focus on things that make me smile in the moment...I don't see the need to focus on the past unless you can learn something from it...If that is wrong I am gonna keep being wrong because for the last 10 months I have been happy every single day instead of living in constant FEAR and worry...I'll take joy every time...I have already experienced all the negative crap I care to experience for over 50 years...This 2.0 does not make sense because if you are a negative human being you are saying to be who you really are "NEGATIVE", no way...That is not changing for the better, that seem to keep you stuck in the mud of where you are... I am going to have to think about this some more because this is way out in left field for me...
felt something similar here. a little bit dissapointed to be told to be ok to experience negative emotions over and over and over till when? till the storm passes and you forget? or till you learn that it really really hurt you? this video left me quit confused and hesitating about believe anything from anyone anymore. thanks for your thoughts!

there is truth to what Teal is teaching. I think that in the future you will see her message shift a bit more and what you are seeing is her going through her own experience of coming to terms with her own emotions. Her life was devastatingly abusive on many levels (as was mine). she's wise but she has more to learn (and Im sure she will laugh at my statement here but that's ok). She's going THROUGH 'something'. She does know her business though as it relates to being a spiritual teacher. So far she has not taught me any new information with relation to emotional and spiritual healing/teaching but I agree with most of what she says. Ive had my own path, my own lessons and experiences to bring me to the place that I am. It is my opinion (which is subject to change) that Teal is trying to teach others what she is going through. You may or may not 'get there'/ 'go there'/ or CHOOSE that path. And that's ok. You are just fine where you are and must not discount or the words of wisdom Teal imparts. Trust your own guidance system. Trust your own intution. If this doesn't resonate with you and yet her other teachings do then just "shelf" this one but dont lose heart. If it confuses you that's ok too. You dont have to 'get' everything she says or that anyone says. You don't have to believe it either for the rest of it to 'work' for you. Hang in there !

Carla Curlee thanks a lot for this post, I did notice Teal is going trough some strong stuff as she reflects it in this video so obvious, but it did make me feel a little sad cause i'm going trough stuff also, and trying my best to be happy and follow happyness as my path as my guide system, and then she comes and basically says that telling to myself every "what would someone that love herself would do?" or any other example of what she has taught me during hours and hours and hours i've been watching her old videos is just a way to fool ourselves? it was very dissapointing cause is like nothing will ever be right till you actually be with your pain¡? yeah it deff didnt resonate with me......and so far everything else she said did....i guess im not that "advanced" or in that place where i actually wanna be with myself entirely..... i dunno...but thanks! a lot maybe is time to move on to another teacher....one that is not going trough the same as i am and can see my life from another angle .... will see..... thanks!
***** completely agree thanks for helping me se it now is like right now i feel some random physical pain and instead of resisting it with pain killers im allowing myself to feel it and understand where it comes from but from a positive angle as in my pain helps me release a past trauma that is trying to tell me something that i forgot or never forgave...this is excellent thanks to all and thanks to TheSpiritualCatalyst to teach us that is human to feel also pain as JOY and be with it and she deff inwons some new type of higher peace in her path.... namaste brothers
Yeah, what she's talking about it to always be present with yourself, if you feel happy be with that happiness, if you feel sad be with that sadness. It has most definitely worked in my personal practice to resolve a lot of issues and move into a more balanced experience of life.
I feel that most of my life is spirituality 2.0
I spent a couple of years with Eckhart's teachings a few years ago. I have just found Teal on UA-cam. I would love to hear her discuss his work.
Eckhart and Teal are good friends, according to Teal.
Eckhart has a ghostwriter, he doesn't write his own work. :)
Incorrect smiley face x
I know what you mean. Wait, beter said: I feel you. Great self insight. Have experienced the same, here. Moving on...
Long way to go...yet, moving forward...
Wishing you the same!
Keep sharing your insights!

No I got a lot from him but it didn't seem to help with getting on with making and creating things in life like really practical stuff.
