🤣😰🌞❤
Thank you both. Your wisdom and experience comes at an important moment in my and my immediate family’s life: 2 days ago the oldest member of our family had a heart attack and we are all united in prayer and contemplating our own place in Creation. Peace and Love to all. 🙏🙌🏻
The best self help video I have seen in years.
“Be the silent watcher” of the mind and stop it. Ekart Tolle talks about the “silent watcher”. 👏
I've been listening to this series and I'm glad I found it.
Your videos are incredible. Having discovered your channel feels even better than having won the lottery. Bless you, guys.
Thanks George, we really appreciate your support!

Wonderful....very helpful. Now if I can only remember to tell myself to "STOP IT".
Glad you enjoyed the video Katy! One of our supporters has just had a bracelet made with 'stop it' engraved on it as a reminder... ;)
"STOP IT" indeed, and thank you for reminding us relentlessly. I need it relentless.
Love going back to this one when I need grounding. ❤❤❤
Take control of your mind! Take self responsibility! Be in control of your mind! Wu Wei Wisdom

On the contrary, I found this video EXTREMELY helpful. I take notes while I'm listening to the discussion, to help me retain important tools and thought processes to coach me through my 'red lights' of life. Sometimes, the 'nuggets' aren't obvious and you have to dig deeper to reach this level of understanding. Thank you so much!! How can I join the facebook community?

You two = ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Starting the mindful exercise TODAY!!!! Thank you! 🙏🏼
Wonderful! x
Off topic, great haircut, ALEX! 😃😰👍
"You/"we" are the creator of our feelings, not the victim. 😼😃
If uv got a red light feeling u will be lying to urself.. I must lie to myself constantly. I need to remember this, to question what I'm saying that brings the red light feelings. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, the '3-Lies' that people typically tell themselves are: I'm not good enough, I can't cope, I'm unlovable...

Shocked that this doesn't have more "likes".. ☺ 🤔 😕
“Wu Wei” in-action, to go with the flow, to do nothing. Someone’s been listening to “Alan Watts”?
I would like for you to talk about guilt and how to rid yiursekf of these feelings.
Does this lesson apply to people with mental illness?
I've been lying to myself most of my life, I've only ever had red lights.
And it's not changing ☹️
Hi Neil
Thank you for your comments. You have made the first step by recognising that you are responsible, well done!
Now find the perceived benefit that lying brings you. Then you will be able to make an authentic choice how you go forward on your journey.
Thank you for taking the time and trouble watching and coming on our videos.
David
"Liked"! ☺
Is there anyone monk I'm SA practicing and doing what u doing in SA. Thku
To those who want an ACTUAL answer:
1.) you MUST consciously notice the patterns your mind starts going into when you are triggered. Notice those “I’m not good enough”/“I can’t cope”/“I’m unloveable and/or unworthy,” thought patterns. Did that person outright call you dumb? No? Then you’re going into that “I’m not good enough,etc” thought pattern. If you are ASSUMING that someone hates you/doesn’t want you/thinks you look awful, etc. without them outright saying so to you, you are making it up (to support your belief of being not good enough/not able to cope/not being worthy or loveable. This false belief is what we need to fix).
You HAVE to notice this pattern happening in order to change it. This takes time. Write a symbol on your hand to remind you if you need to - do what you need to to remind yourself to hunt for patterns.
2.) AS SOON AS you realize you are going into this “I suck/I can’t” thought pattern, you MUST recognize that that thought is FALSE (remember: “the mind is a suggestion box ONLY”) and you MUST immediately think, and therefore feel, something positive instead - so call your mind out on its lying to you and then remind yourself that you ARE awesome, you CAN do it, and you ARE worthy.
------
The people asking the question very much know they need to stop thinking negative thoughts... and they ARE taking responsibility for their thoughts by seeking answers to actually help themselves. This video - quite unfortunately - offers no practical solutions but talks around the problem instead. A different aproach would be more useful, since this one makes me not want to take a class from you guys if all you are going to do is tell me “it’s so easy! Just stop it!” Other videos are full of nuggets, but not this one.
Hi Jessica, thank you very much for your comments on our video, I enjoyed reading them. My contribution to this debate would be that if you believe one or all three of the ‘lies’, spending any further time on understanding the pattern those lies go on to create is wasted time. So, as I explained in the video, STOP IT!!
A more successful practice is to understand why you CHOOSE to believe any of those three lies in the first place. Provide the evidence and reasoning that supports your beliefs. When you do that process (we call this following the ‘Golden Thread’ ) it will lead you back to the actual answer that lies in the part of your mind that we call the ‘inner child’.
Have a quick look at one of our inner child videos where I explain this process in a little more detail.
When you follow this Wu Wei Wisdom approach, you will find it more effective, truthful and it will reconnect you with your authenticity and integrity.
Thank you so much for your comments and supporting our work.
David.
