I love the video brother. So practical and applicable, I did the attachment test, very nice. I'll try to do the other one some time. Thanks for sharing this, you always have great resources. Love to you man. ❤❤❤
I appreciated this so much. This has allowed me to reflect on how Ive been pushing through projects to just be done with it. I will be more gentle with myself, and take the time to listen. Thank you 💟
I have literally just stumbled across your channel and this video, however- Interesting thanks :) I tried a different type of meditation yesterday and for the first time I really felt like I was ‘resting in awareness’ and my mind felt relatively still, but then out of nowhere a tidal wave of emotion hit me, a whole body experience - but I have no idea what it was about, although I know there are plenty of traumas I need to work through. That’s never happened to me in meditation before though.
I sometimes wonder if Buddhism teaches compassion so individuals absorb trauma to stop it going from one person to the next and then at some point that person can then let go of repressed emotions in a safe way. As in some people they can’t touch their hurt and it goes out and can be destructive of others. Some people take it all in and it can be quite destructive of themselves, but it can then be cared for. I feel a bit like a sponge for all my parents trauma, and I don’t think it has effected my children (at least certainly not to the degree that it’s effected me, I’m sure some has been passed on unfortunately) but I’m now at a point where I’m processing my trauma and it is slowly shifting, emotions being accepted etc. It was definitely a defence mechanism that was used in order not to escalate abuse or violence when I was younger. When I could not stand up for myself with people who could not look into themselves. So much repressed anger and rage is coming up for me recently and I’m sure there is more to come. I’m so flippin grateful for this whole process. It’s the hardest thing I’ve done, but so far, so good.
Love your work, it tickles my mind in all the right ways and helps with my practice 🙏🤍 "What am I afraid of?" I have heard Tara Brach ask a related question: "What are you unwilling to feel?" This same question sometimes naturally arise when I focus on a heart practice like Loving Kindness meditation or Tong-Len - forming the intention to extend love and compassion towards larger and larger circles or human beings, loved ones, "neutrals", difficult people, random people who come to mind - and noticing if there is a reaction or a feeling of "closing down". Often when I find resistance, I realize there is a conflict between two small bundles of ego, two personas who reenact a moment of unsecure attachment. I also feel like there are so many ways to work with the fear and explore it, sometimes using memories, concepts, visual thoughts, sometimes just feeling it in the body.

Fantastic, the gentleness is important

I am most afraid of people. Much worse then heights and i am acrophobic. I fear people more than death.
You are also afraid of suffocation this is a scientific fact
My brother I love u. U will attain Nirvana/ mukti/moksha/ salvation in next rebirths for sure... ❤
