So profound. Drives me crazy when people say just do what makes you happy. Thank you for explaining something I could not articulate myself. Your videos are each a gift in and of themselves. Wisdom I needed to hear this very day. A gem in every message to press to my heart and make it sparkle. Woo hoo. I also love the expression from another video of yours that ‘The heart is the wisdom transmitter’.
You just changed my life. My mouth is literally agape. You went a step above everything I’ve ever learned about true inner peace and sitting with your pain. My goodness thank you.
Thanks, Jason. I think this will help people a lot. No amount of practice will help you, unless you confront the pain and transmute it into something positive.
This video has been incredibly helpful to see deeper into my perpetual confusion. All the conflicting advice, and swimming in a culture saturated in confusion and quick fixes...most of it is still the superficial approach, treating symptoms with a band-aid, always snapping back into the same misery that was actually never dealt with in the first place. Thank you Jason. The clarity of insights you share resonate deeply.
This told me something I already knew but had forgotten: pain felt transforms into it's opposite (or at least isnt really painful at all). Any time I can really feel what I have to feel and not mask it with something, it transforms into happiness. Even something as simple as stubbing your toe is not really painful if you go deeply into the feeling...it is just a numb feeling. It is the resistance to it that creates the pain. Addictive behaviors are quick fixes to put a band-aid over this pain but just make it worse. Maybe the emotional pain is simply resistance and when it is felt you return to your natural state which is one of love. Picture stubbing your toe and immediately freaking out and saying "ow ow ow!" and the relation of that to what you do when you start to feel the slightest bit uncomfortable emotionally. But if we are conscious enough to just feel it things are fine.
Content like this is really interesting as it gets to the core of the matter rather than sugarcoating something or giving it false hope. I’m currently In pain from this and I’m hoping things get better
Thank you Jason for these reinforcements. It is so good to here that this not something wrong with me. And I am not crazy to accept my pain. I have been trying to avoid pain for so long but it does not help any more.
My happiness is binge eating an entire bag of potato chips and watching spiritual youtube videos at 1am. I give myself unconditional love by doing so. Just jokes!
Thank you for this important wisdom here, and thank you so very much for all of these videos. It's been so greatly inspiring to me along my own path. You are quite the gem Jason! I have such respect for all you do, and I love your music as well. I have been listing to the mantras so very much. My 2 favorites are the Divine Love, and the Chamonda mantras. The messages that comes with the Divine Love mantra really speak to me. I have been listing to it almost daily lately. Keep up all the greatness that is being you. So very thankful to take all of this in. It makes me want to try and stay around in this big ol' world. As you said in another wonderful video, I wouldn't have incarnated into this life if I wasn't meant to be here.
Hi Jason. I really enjoyed your video and the perspective you presented. Based on my 25 years of observation, I believe that we, human-beings, are constantly undergoing a battle within ourselves. I see the human mind as a divide between logic and emotion, thus making us very paradoxical creatures. Although, I do believe that we have the power within us to improve the balance between our two psychological extremes, creating harmony and peace in our lives. Personally, in the last couple of years, I have been finally spending time addressing all of my built-up psychological struggles that I previously had been blinded from through distracting myself with hard work and no sleep. Emotionally, I feel like I have been on a roller coaster, but, my optimistic, rational side has been pulling me through these changes. A few months ago, I did even experience a minor existential crisis, triggered from researching our planet's climate change, politics, and all of the damage we cause to the earth. In a sense, I know deep down that every struggle brings wisdom, which I have always appreciated. Yet, today, I find myself with everything I could ask for: a job that allows me to travel, a loving relationship, financial security, etc., but I still don't feel fulfilled. I have always been an over achiever and I know that I have great potential, and I receive great joy from helping others. I am also someone that despises complacency and I can't stand to spend an entire day in my apartment alone. I think deep down I am a runner. Although I have come a far way, I still want more, and it is overwhelming knowing that I can do anything I desire. I have been tossing around the idea of quitting my job as a flight attendant, and to go just volunteer abroad, but I wonder if while I were there, after the initial distraction of a new thing wore off, would I still be unsatisfied? Any comments whenever you have a moment would be appreciated. I am not looking for answers, just connection with another human-being that may have some insight. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. Very inspiring. I have been feeling a lot of pain recently and decided to just allow it! A lot of old emotions came along. Sometimes i feel like i have opened a pandora box! Nevertheless i feel more free! This video will remind me not no judge myself when i am feeling lost! Thank you :)
Veronique Mauro I have a lot of other tools on this channel that may assist the process along. Make sure you check out the Bellows Breath video and some of the mantra videos. :)
I understand what you say, especially the compensating part, and totally agree with what you say. Yet, I find it difficult to do all this on my own. I don't even know where to start from!
I have found this video to be great; it has added to my perspective of life. I'm 17 and I believe I'm at the age when people overthink what they want to pursue in the future, and then worry if they've made any barriers to that. I'm certainly in this situation now, I need to do more self-awareness (e.g. meditation) to see where the issue lies, and if there's a solution; I've also been affected by a heartbreak, so this has potentially affected this feeling as well. I'm just learning from all this, I'm young of course; I think I'm getting a perspective on life early - I'm fortunate to go through this feeling. Thank you very much, browsing on the internet sometimes does find a solution (or at least, help); everything to me is an adaptation and determination.
Very true. :) Time heals all, my friend. One must also surrender to time and life itself in the process. IF I can tell you anything, life runs things, not the mind. :) In the end you're forced to surrender anyway, so let the feelings happen now. Yes, there is pain, sometimes so much you feel as if you'll die from it, but just know that no matter how hard it gets, if you let go of your stories attached to the pain, some really wonderful stuff happens. Blessings.
Pepper Lane yes, boredom, resistance, irritation, sorrow, anger, numbness,anything that isn't blissful for you. In the end, it all becomes love after you allow your divinity to become one with it.
Thank you for this Jason as these videos do help. I'm from the Uk and I have a really heavy pain body that I have dragged around for years. Nearly 40 I more confused then ever and because of it never really knowing what I want in life or what work to seek. Meds did'nt help, Therepy told me what was wrong with me but not how to fix anything (in fact he told me somethings were ingrained) So I'm now trying to find another way. A way to finally let go.
all these things should be taught us from childhood on and be implemented into the school system. a lot of pain and suffering could be avoided. I do find this video helpful. but I am afraid that the older you are, the more decisions you have already made from a point of suffering and not from happiness. thus creating a life of suffering. of course one might say: you can always change the situation. but if we're completely honest, it's really not that easy. once you followed a careerpath it isn't that easy to just change it. once you have children you have to take care of them. once you have a relationship/marriage you are in this kind of bond. yes, all of these things might be changed. but not that easily. also once you are in a situation of suffering it really isn't that easy to get a clear thought on what you want instead and change things.
First of all Thank you for the video. My problem is that i have never learnt to be with my own feelings. It scares me whenever i do something ALONE . I Always try to go to a friends House or cheking my phone constantly. I dont know how to deal with myself. I am 22 years old. I get depressed every time i am alone. I live on my own and i hate it. Because it hurts it scares me like WHO am i what should i do Beacause i dont know what i Want to. So it scares me. And when i finally get a feeling like i Want to clean or make food, when Its done i go into panic. How do i deal with happiness and my own feelings? Its Always locked up inside so i feel i cant breath But it scares me to Relax in every feeling i get. Sry for the long message. I hope you read it.
I understand what you are saying but can I not be partially unhappy because I am in the wrong environment or not being true to myself? I'm the only one of 4 siblings that has not spent most of my life on antidepressants. I have sat in my feelings and I am trying to work through them but feel at times I'm just stuck. I am at a crossroad right now after going through a lot of losses. Thank you for your videos. They are helping me to focus and control my thoughts or shall I say remove them.
Iv been confused a lot lately I’m only 19 and well I moved into my grandmas house after having a full blown anxiety attack I dropped college I quit a really good job I had bc now I wanna go back but I don’t know what career I don’t know what job and yes your right my pain is numb . Bc I no longer cry or get angry it’s just there I try to forget about it I want to know how do you sit with you pain?? Before it turns into joy
This resonated with me a lot. I am in this confusion state. I don't know what I am supposed to be doing. I think of many ideas of things i could do, paths I could take but don't know which is right. I get overwhelmed with the choices. I then get scared of making the wrong decision. How long should I sit waiting for the answer to arise? what if i need to take action for example because I need to find a job quickly? but at the same time I find something that my heart wants to? what If i don't have time to sit and wait for the pain to arise and joy to surface? I simply have to make a decision. This is what usually happens making decisions for survival but not finding the truth or what the heart wishes to express?
Thank you for the reply. Survival first is that not equal to making decisions out of fear? I took some actions recently in this direction and it didn't work out. I am back at the start again. So do I continue taking actions on things I don't resonate with and then just watch how they unfold until something changes?
Survival and fear are NOT the same thing. Trying to survive ten years from now, and OVER compensating in this moment would be in alignment with fear in some cases though. I cannot micromanage this process through texting, but in general, take care of survival. Clean up your emotional suffering around it, by sitting with your suffering around it, meditating etc. In time, wisdom will emerge in the form of greater freedom and movement of happiness.
JasonJGallant thank you for your time. Yes, this messaging is not ideal haha I am not sure I understand the survival part of the response but I have been and will continue to sit with the confusion. thanks again 😊 and thank you for sharing via your videos.
thanks I like the message, what about apart from not experiencing love, and happiness, you still haven't do nothing in life and you suck and you are not able to talk a lot because you don't have people to talk to and people you meet on daily basis don't want you to talked much so you always keep everything to yourself and your mind.
Phil Harris Sitting with your pain can be difficult at times, so then sometimes extra help can be introduced. This can take the form of mantra, pranayama, or concentrating on an object out of love (devotion).
***** It's hard to meditate, mind wanders, and like you said people want to run from the fear or pain. It takes practice, and I need to do it more. I usually fall asleep when I start to meditate. I am getting better though, and I know eventually I will find enlightenment.
and yes, mantras or meditation objects do help a LOT, along with seeking other spiritual knowledge and practices. A healthy mind is just as or more important than a healthy body, although they both need eachother to be healthy.
Phil Harris @user/JasonJGallant 5 hours ago Yes. Most people don't truly know how deep meditation can go. The truth is they just haven't stayed with it long enough for the suffering to unravel
Hi Jason, I appreciate all of your wisdom. I know this video was from 4 years ago, but what exactly do you mean by sit in your suffering? I've been meditating and am becoming more aware, do you just mean awareness of why the suffering is taking place? I can't seem to pinpoint it. Thank you.
Where does one begin if that is how they have dealt with pain their whole life. Suppressing it and replacing it with something else. A coping mechanism to continue to live. Is it possible to come through it? My threshold for pain is very high and have never dealt with it very much.
ThereskaJanee if you are confused, then you are suffering about the decision you have to make, aren't you? Otherwise you wouldn't be worried about the answer. The need for an answer comes from many things, need is a subtle sort of suffering. It says that when I have the answer, I will happier than I am without the answer. This is a condition put on your happiness. Allow yourself to sit in the not knowing the answer--be okay with it, and in time, happiness will emerge and move. I hope this helps. It is difficult to answer these sort of questions without the context. :)
I appreciate your answer very much. Regardless of this banality that I have to decide upon right now, I find your response and your video very useful. I can apply it and refer back to it whenever anything else will show up. What I am unsure about right now is clearly a banality and not even a big question in life or a major decision to make. What I am trying to decide upon is whether to take a certain course at my college or the other college based on ratings. However, the second one is more time consuming and will affect my scholarship award. Truly a banality, yet I have to act fast. I recognized a different kind of pain which had nothing to do with this, but with that one I am actually fine with :), just like you explained in the video. This school stuff is certainly bothering my mind now. I don't know what exactly to do. And I only have a weekend to decide. It is a banality, but you know, I think that I'll just give a shot to the one that I am leaning 51% towards as opposed to those 49% towards the other school, haha, and see what happens. I cannot know unless it happens, and I should just take it as it comes and not worry about it :). Either way it will be done, and I'll just have to work hard no matter where I take the course. I think that I am slowly coming to peace with this. Thank you so much for letting me vent here and contacting me! I feel like talking it out made me a little clearer about the solution and that is less frustrating. Thank you!
So glad it helped. The truth is there is no wrong decisions. You can only make the best decision you can in this moment. The suffering comes from believing that there is DEFINITELY a right and wrong decision. Forgive yourself, be easier on your self, and let life reveal the adventure that it wishes, rather than you telling it what to do. lol. Good luck and blessings to you!
Haha, I like that. :D Thank you :). I sometimes forget to let just life happen to me and forget to remind myself just like you said, that there are no wrong decisions. Thank you so much!!!! Sending a big hug! :D Have a great day yourself, and again - thank you very very very much. It's nice to hear an advice that sounds so familiar to my thoughts when I forget them! I don't know if I'm explaining it right, either way. Thank you :).
I've caught my husband throughout our marriage with ponograghy. I've developed PTSD I'm very depressed isolate myself because I'm disabled. I'm giving up on my life
How long should we sit with the pain? I've been doing spiritual practices like vipassana meditation and it brought out more pain with little relief. I only got brief glimpses of the other side of that pain. Right now I'm experiencing depression and confusion and I've sat with it for awhile. But I seem to be spinning my wheels in futility without reaching the other side of that pain
Try some pranayama. That assists the process. Either way, the shadows can take some time to pass. In the end you are not them. The realization of that is where the freedom is found
manu02scorpio if the pain is physical--like being on fire, definitely make a decision. But if you're constructing your life purely from emotional suffering, then your life will always be about the avoidance of that. At first a blend of suffering and happiness make up the majority of your decisions, but the goal is to find unconditional happiness inside yourself, and then all decisions will come from the movement of happiness and joy--or the integration of that space in your life. Whatever experience you have inside, you will always seek to match your life to that. So the goal is to take care of your inner experience, then all emanations will come from that.

You just changed my life. My mouth is literally agape. You went a step above everything I’ve ever learned about true inner peace and sitting with your pain. My goodness thank you.
Thanks Jason to always point at the core of what really matters
I listened to this video 7 times today and will many more times to fully hear it.
Thanks, Jason. I think this will help people a lot. No amount of practice will help you, unless you confront the pain and transmute it into something positive.
This video has been incredibly helpful to see deeper into my perpetual confusion. All the conflicting advice, and swimming in a culture saturated in confusion and quick fixes...most of it is still the superficial approach, treating symptoms with a band-aid, always snapping back into the same misery that was actually never dealt with in the first place. Thank you Jason. The clarity of insights you share resonate deeply.

No words to say thank you! ❤️
You are a like a sage descended from heaven to the earth .

Thank you for this important wisdom here, and thank you so very much for all of these videos. It's been so greatly inspiring to me along my own path. You are quite the gem Jason! I have such respect for all you do, and I love your music as well. I have been listing to the mantras so very much. My 2 favorites are the Divine Love, and the Chamonda mantras.

Emotionally, I feel like I have been on a roller coaster, but, my optimistic, rational side has been pulling me through these changes. A few months ago, I did even experience a minor existential crisis, triggered from researching our planet's climate change, politics, and all of the damage we cause to the earth.

I needed a reminder
jason.your amazing.
excellent! thanks Jason ~ this is exactly what I needed to hear :D and totally resonates within !
does this relate to resistance as well?
Pepper Lane yes, boredom, resistance, irritation, sorrow, anger, numbness,anything that isn't blissful for you. In the end, it all becomes love after you allow your divinity to become one with it.
Thank you Jason.
This is very good. I am very good at staying busy to block the pain. I will practice sitiing with it.
Thank you for your wisdom. Makes a lot of sense.
I read the bible and find that it helps my life.
Thank you for this Jason as these videos do help. I'm from the Uk and I have a really heavy pain body that I have dragged around for years.

Thank you
Thank you I will try it. I've been so depressed and stressed about trying to find a job.
We know the "experience of stress" will. It help. Let go of that and then take one step at a time to finding a job :)
thanx jason
all these things should be taught us from childhood on and be implemented into the school system. a lot of pain and suffering could be avoided.
I do find this video helpful. but I am afraid that the older you are, the more decisions you have already made from a point of suffering and not from happiness. thus creating a life of suffering.
of course one might say: you can always change the situation. but if we're completely honest, it's really not that easy.

once you have children you have to take care of them.

yes, all of these things might be changed. but not that easily.
also once you are in a situation of suffering it really isn't that easy to get a clear thought on what you want instead and change things.
No. So first seek the infinite within. Sometimes limited external circumstances can be a gift. It forces you to look inward
First of all Thank you for the video. My problem is that i have never learnt to be with my own feelings. It scares me whenever i do something ALONE .

Quiet still meditation. 💚
Yes my question is what I be compensating with cigarettes with that pain then I don't want to feel cuz I don't even know what the pain is anymore
I understand what you are saying but can I not be partially unhappy because I am in the wrong environment or not being true to myself?

Bc I no longer cry or get angry it’s just there I try to forget about it I want to know how do you sit with you pain?? Before it turns into joy
that makes sense. thanks for sharing :D
What do u do if u don't even remember the last time being happy or yourself or how to go back to that
... By the way i bought arathi ma's book. Can you thank her and tell her its an amazing piece of work ;) tx
+Riccardo C glad to hear you got something from it. I think a lot of people will really receive some help from that book.
How is this treasure so buried in the algorithm?? If youre still active, post it on tiktok a few times. Theres an audience there
This resonated with me a lot. I am in this confusion state. I don't know what I am supposed to be doing. I think of many ideas of things i could do, paths I could take but don't know which is right. I get overwhelmed with the choices. I then get scared of making the wrong decision. How long should I sit waiting for the answer to arise? what if i need to take action for example because I need to find a job quickly? but at the same time I find something that my heart wants to? what If i don't have time to sit and wait for the pain to arise and joy to surface? I simply have to make a decision. This is what usually happens making decisions for survival but not finding the truth or what the heart wishes to express?
Survival first. Just take everything one moment at a time. Don't get too ahead of yourself. From there, you can evolve the expression. :)
Thank you for the reply. Survival first is that not equal to making decisions out of fear? I took some actions recently in this direction and it didn't work out. I am back at the start again. So do I continue taking actions on things I don't resonate with and then just watch how they unfold until something changes?
Survival and fear are NOT the same thing. Trying to survive ten years from now, and OVER compensating in this moment would be in alignment with fear in some cases though. I cannot micromanage this process through texting, but in general, take care of survival. Clean up your emotional suffering around it, by sitting with your suffering around it, meditating etc. In time, wisdom will emerge in the form of greater freedom and movement of happiness.
JasonJGallant thank you for your time. Yes, this messaging is not ideal haha I am not sure I understand the survival part of the response but I have been and will continue to sit with the confusion. thanks again 😊 and thank you for sharing via your videos.
By survival, I mean, do you have enough to eat. Can you breath. Is your body taken care of. The simplest form of that sort of thing. :)
Wow ur videos r amazing
Ashlee Rall thank you. Glad to have you with me!
thanks I like the message, what about apart from not experiencing love, and happiness, you still haven't do nothing in life and you suck and you are not able to talk a lot because you don't have people to talk to and people you meet on daily basis don't want you to talked much so you always keep everything to yourself and your mind.
Quiet still meditation. 💚 Connect to the Source within - you are NEVER alone 💚
Great advice...I will definitely use this in my life.

and yes, mantras or meditation objects do help a LOT, along with seeking other spiritual knowledge and practices. A healthy mind is just as or more important than a healthy body, although they both need eachother to be healthy.

Yes. Most people don't truly know how deep meditation can go. The truth is they just haven't stayed with it long enough for the suffering to unravel
On a different note. Is it ok to fry while sitting in the pain? Is that natural releasing or does that make it worse?
My suffering is that deep down I hate myself still
Hi Jason, I appreciate all of your wisdom. I know this video was from 4 years ago, but what exactly do you mean by sit in your suffering? I've been meditating and am becoming more aware, do you just mean awareness of why the suffering is taking place? I can't seem to pinpoint it. Thank you.
Manic depression is searching my soul
I know what I want
But I just don't knowHow to go about getting it
Thankyou
Thank you Jason. I would like to here something about how to deal with a death in the family ?
Watch the video on how to deal with grief
Where does one begin if that is how they have dealt with pain their whole life. Suppressing it and replacing it with something else. A coping mechanism to continue to live. Is it possible to come through it? My threshold for pain is very high and have never dealt with it very much.
Continue to be here. Keep meeting here while you drop the comments. :)
How do you seat with pain?...
please help to unlock inner wisdom
What if we are aware of what makes us unhappy, but it has nothing to do with what we are confused about?
ThereskaJanee if you are confused, then you are suffering about the decision you have to make, aren't you? Otherwise you wouldn't be worried about the answer. The need for an answer comes from many things, need is a subtle sort of suffering. It says that when I have the answer, I will happier than I am without the answer. This is a condition put on your happiness. Allow yourself to sit in the not knowing the answer--be okay with it, and in time, happiness will emerge and move. I hope this helps. It is difficult to answer these sort of questions without the context. :)
I appreciate your answer very much. Regardless of this banality that I have to decide upon right now, I find your response and your video very useful. I can apply it and refer back to it whenever anything else will show up. What I am unsure about right now is clearly a banality and not even a big question in life or a major decision to make. What I am trying to decide upon is whether to take a certain course at my college or the other college based on ratings. However, the second one is more time consuming and will affect my scholarship award. Truly a banality, yet I have to act fast. I recognized a different kind of pain which had nothing to do with this, but with that one I am actually fine with :), just like you explained in the video. This school stuff is certainly bothering my mind now. I don't know what exactly to do. And I only have a weekend to decide. It is a banality, but you know, I think that I'll just give a shot to the one that I am leaning 51% towards as opposed to those 49% towards the other school, haha, and see what happens. I cannot know unless it happens, and I should just take it as it comes and not worry about it :). Either way it will be done, and I'll just have to work hard no matter where I take the course.
I think that I am slowly coming to peace with this.
Thank you so much for letting me vent here and contacting me! I feel like talking it out made me a little clearer about the solution and that is less frustrating.
Thank you!
So glad it helped. The truth is there is no wrong decisions. You can only make the best decision you can in this moment. The suffering comes from believing that there is DEFINITELY a right and wrong decision. Forgive yourself, be easier on your self, and let life reveal the adventure that it wishes, rather than you telling it what to do. lol. Good luck and blessings to you!
Haha, I like that. :D Thank you :). I sometimes forget to let just life happen to me and forget to remind myself just like you said, that there are no wrong decisions.
Thank you so much!!!! Sending a big hug! :D
Have a great day yourself, and again - thank you very very very much. It's nice to hear an advice that sounds so familiar to my thoughts when I forget them! I don't know if I'm explaining it right, either way.
Thank you :).
a most beautiful way of explaining it! :)
My boredom is horrifying.
This one hit me hard.
I've caught my husband throughout our marriage with ponograghy. I've developed PTSD I'm very depressed isolate myself because I'm disabled. I'm giving up on my life
+Renee Evans surrender any judgment and stress lessens.
How long should we sit with the pain? I've been doing spiritual practices like vipassana meditation and it brought out more pain with little relief. I only got brief glimpses of the other side of that pain. Right now I'm experiencing depression and confusion and I've sat with it for awhile. But I seem to be spinning my wheels in futility without reaching the other side of that pain
Try some pranayama. That assists the process. Either way, the shadows can take some time to pass. In the end you are not them. The realization of that is where the freedom is found
@@JasonJGallant I'm going to incorporate more pranayama into my practice, thank you
What if you dont know what your pain is?
Then go on and enjoy your life. :)
How do you sit with pain?
😍
You said, 'do when happy' and not do something that makes one happy. So my query Is - When in pain, should one make decisions or not?
manu02scorpio if the pain is physical--like being on fire, definitely make a decision. But if you're constructing your life purely from emotional suffering, then your life will always be about the avoidance of that. At first a blend of suffering and happiness make up the majority of your decisions, but the goal is to find unconditional happiness inside yourself, and then all decisions will come from the movement of happiness and joy--or the integration of that space in your life. Whatever experience you have inside, you will always seek to match your life to that. So the goal is to take care of your inner experience, then all emanations will come from that.
+JasonJGallant thank you Jason. It helps gain clarity. I always watch your videos as they help me connect to my Inner self well..
manu02scorpio thanks so much for being here with me :)
