I always listen to him while I’m falling asleep, ever since I started, I always sleep better and wake up so Much happier, I am only 11 and I am already loving these videos
Wow that's amazing to hear! Keep learning, Philos = love, Sophia = wisdom.. Philosophy = love for wisdom. How or why did you start your journey? - Do you remember?
Breathwork, daily meditation and physical exercises helped me a lot to go through panic attacks and reconnect myself. I learned to understand that I'm the only one who can adjust what is going on inside me. Thank you guys for all the great Videos and thanks to Master Shi Heng Yi 🙏🏻 I appreciate everything he shared with us.
Taking 5 seconds to breathe in, HOLD IT 5 seconds out 5 seconds has been a game changer - “deep breaths” advice didn’t work for me. I needed a tangible goal. 5.5.5
How this practise helping you to overcome the external world in situacion that you need to enter supermarket to bay food but secure man ask you pleas cover mask in your face but you deep inside you undastand that this cover mask is wrong ? So how you do in this situacion just be like slave and cover mask or tray to atain buda heroic spirite and enter inside store with no mask cover you face? Meny peope in this extreme situacion folow external rules and cover mask but also some kind of other people they folow inside and doit go in store with no folow cover mask in face. First group of people cover mask are scare of be in conflict with secure man but inside them no calmness
I agree brother! I felt that his energy changed when his dog came over to lay with him. ❤ nothing like the love of a dog to bring peace to the atmosphere.
I lived acrss the street from a man who had 2 white doves...I remember watching them fly around his land and after a while they'd return back to their cage....I would understand later that the doves were a reminder to look for understanding in my exterior world as they flew around their property outside and then my interior world when theyd willingly go back to their cage...as an adult i feel lucky to see the fellowship of beings and that they conspire to give guidance, unbeknownst to us all. "Grace" is the word I give to the conversation...our graciousness, if we are kind and courteous to others and to ourselves we can create an enjoyable experience in both worlds. Like learning a dance the movement of thought and being in grace, perhaps we're less likely to stumble and fall. What a lovely man...I'll bet he dances beautifully.
This is what I've been learning daily in my recovery: Whatever change I wish to see in my life, must come from within. Thank you for sharing this with us. 🙏
@@zacparatore296 That's awesome! Don't give up. Easier said than done when you're going through it, man do I know it!! Stay strong brother, and stay connected. 🙏
Once I learned that stress was my reaction to, person, places, behaviors, issues and situations, I no longer had any stress in my life. Stress is My reaction and if it is my reaction I can control my reactions. It took me a while but I can truly say I am stress free. I believe the goal should always be peace. Once you taste true peace, you will protect your peace by any means necessary!
just that you still separate your reactions from yourself. It is not about controlling your own reactions. More appropriate would be to set a stage where You can develop into a connected being, connected in every thinkable direction, across any thinkable strata, and your actions are the liquid exchanged between them, your actions being inseparable from what you call today re-actions.
One of the biggest realizations I have had recently is - life revolves around being and doing. We have to find balance between work and relaxation. To have responsibility, goals, purpose and to be virtuous. That is all what it is. Everyone has their own way in reaching those truths.
My compliments to the sound engineer/s, the way this has been produced is amazing, conveys the feeling and atmosphere so well. Almost feels like my room is heated by fire. Genius
Can't help but being brought to tears, how this hit home hard. So much has happened the past years and now struggling to find some balance and myself again, always tried to change someone else or to escape painful situations but the answer isn't out there... thank you for the lightbulb moments and a good lesson to practice and take with me.
@@RainRemnant Well the point seems to be that you are not alone but in continuous co-existence with everything. A very real co-existence. For instance by breath. But in many other ways too. One couldn't even exist without all that other stuff.
@@martendewind That's very well explained and I think I understand what you mean, I have lived in close connection with everything around me, we're all connected too the same way, just now with turmoil and loss that connection feels gone. It just takes time but thank you. Btw your name sounds Dutch! I'm from Holland. Sorry if I'm wrong!
Thank you Master Shi sheng, the most important thing he said was about the internal and external world, there is only one world, you cannot be just internal, they are one, you cannot separate yourself from yourself. David says this in psalms, who says I hate the double minded person, unstable in all his ways. He was not internal and external, he was one, this is why wholesome, is a great virtue, because you are whole, not partial. This is the difference between a cocky person and a confident, a cocky person will constantly retract his words to come up with witty responses while a confident person stick with not being above or below someone, he doesn’t think he’s better, he just knows the other person is not better, he doesn’t think the other is below him, he knows he isn’t higher. This is a man of humility and humble. Sadguruh also said that when you are always trying to admit self care, or having self help, or take care of your self, you are creating two people in one, we are only one. Which aligns with Confucius who says we all have two lives, and the first begins when we realize we only have one. You have to be a realist. This is not easy, as Gautama Buddha teaches that Mara and nibbana is a ying and Yang power struggle with temptation and control, we have to practice disciplines, habits, and have diligence over negligence, prudence over simplicity, wisdom over folly, righteousness over wickedness. I can assure you this is not so easy, Gautamas dharma chakra wheel, and the 4 noble truths is a fine tuning your mind with your spirit and body in unison. Everything effects everything else, if you skip work outs, that would effect your minds confidence, if you skip journaling, or calling your friends and or acolytes, this will diminish your spiritual connection, if one part falls the others happen like a micro dominos effect. I can assure you that the simple life is not so easy. But it’s so lively and fruitful, instead of just reading and working out I have to also have more collaborating, conversing in person, whether if it’s at church with the fellowship and pastor, or instead of just reading the Dhammapada and meditating actually go to a Buddhist temple and talking with the gurus and monks as Gautama did as well, we are not just animal but are spiritual beings. Thank you daily stoic and Master Shi.
“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.” ― Maya Angelou.25 Oct 2020
The point he makes leading up to 16:00 is probably the most enlightening thing I've ever heard. 'Where you place the mind' ie how you're getting 'triggered' happens when you place the 'blame' on the outside and ignore the inside. The flipside of that is spending too much time internal ruminating and you end up losing track of what is happening outside (or your impact on the outside in relationships etc). Find that balance, and let the inside mirror the outside. Accept, then adjust.
The importance of Master Shi Heng Yi's words cannot be overstated - so real, grounded, human, insightful, thoughtful and true. This discussion is one of the best! Great message pertaining to personal accountability, rational sensibility, and overall well-being. Thank you for making a difference and for adding to the quality of my life.
I think one of the very first epiphanies I had was about lowering my expectations about things in life, such that my response would not involve as much disappointment when expectations I had were not met. This was an emotional self preservation strategy. I must have had high expectations because I was constantly disappointed. So that direct connection between lowered expectations and less disappointment was applied everywhere, including in my marriage eventually. This internal management of disappointment through lowering expectations freed me from stress and allowed me to be less controlling of situations and people, and offered me the chance to focus on other things I did have control over....artistic expression for example. So, mastering my responses to external stimulus and events had to begin with me letting go of unreasonable expectations I had being tuned into the needs of the world and turning my focus inward to see what made me who I was and why I did certain things, had certain beliefs and certain responses and behaviors.
A rare window of sanity you open through these videos.. An opportunity to attune with the Presence of a Master, and that's a priceless reflection and transmission amidst a materialistic culture which has lost touch with the essence.. Thank you.
Breathing is both something you do, and something that happens to you. "Be strict with yourself and tolerant with others." "Logic grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference"
To Master Sri Heng Yi, Thank you so much for the gift of love you're giving to the people of this world. To the Mulligan Brother, thank you for your sacrifice in filming this project. I am sending love and hopes of abundance to all who give their heart to us who need this message so desperately.
This guy knows what he's talking about from his practices and disciplines. I like how you are integrating his insights with what he can relate to from Stoic philosophy. As I am living in Taiwan, and have a bit of a background in reading Taoist philosophy and practising Chi gong, this is an interesting angle to hear discussed.
I learned recently that my problems are internal not external and that I must adjust to fit life. I can't adjust life to fit me. This has brought me me much peace.
Is internal and external that different? Where does the one stop and the other really begin? Get drunk and try to walk a straight line. When you can't, is that external or internal? Is it possible to just internally ignore the drunkenness? Try to survive without eating or breathing. Without that external contribution there's nothing internal that you can shape to change things. This isn't to say there's nothing internal, but anything that can change can't be that. When we think about internal experience most of the time, I think we talk about things that are closely perceived and identified with. I might feel stress, this is because of patterns in my brain, these patterns might be caused by the release of adrenaline near my kidneys into my blood. If I do something to suppress the ability or increase my body's release of adrenaline or noradrenaline does this change my internal state or external state? The feeling of stress feels internal, but a kind of manipulation like that feels external. This is because we identify with the feeling in our brain in a way we don't identify with taking a pill or surgery. If I'm noticing a sensation in my hand, is that external or internal? Now what if that sensation is from the pressure that the carrot we're cutting puts on the knife and transfers to us? See what I mean? All of these internal sensations are from identification. We don't identify as the carrot, we might identify as the hand, we probably identify as the brain. If we have brain trauma and it causes us to feel depressed or feel incredible, is that an internal or external sensation? We will probably feel it's internal, but once it's identified that it's caused by something physical we might change our mind. This doesn't change the source of the feeling, it just changes which box we put it in, whether we take responsibility, identify, feel ownership over it.
I like that athough Shi Heng Yi prioritises adjusting oneself internal world/repsonse to the external world, he also acknowledges that changing the external world is important, something that stoic philosophy doesn't delve much in
This was an amazing video. As a counsellor I see how helping people with implementing stoicism and philosophy , and spiritual practices, can help them have an increasingly better quality of life.
Disappointment will help you grow to a better endurance person . There is alway a ying and Yang in philosophy, it will alway come to how we look at it .
I love your videos! I’m so thankful for there not being background music and you are such a great listener! You just allow the Master to express his brilliance without distraction.
Thank you, Shi Heng Yi. I needed council tonight. I will move my question from one of self-control to one of self-adjustment. The question of what self is then might become more approachable.
🙏❤️ Those with dementia or serious illness we have to have empathy and compassion ❤️ When my papa got me a tricycle and then a bike, no training wheels, I was placed on my bicycle and my balance of energy was flying.
Excellent. Thank you. This ties in with everything I'm working on inner work wise and being still and quiet and out of fear and into Love and Grace. Love the message and the messenger. Such great wisdom and information. Look within. Know thy true present eternal self.
I feel Understanding the similarities between the behaviours of Universal things with ourselves is very important to explore much more. Love this Video.❣️
Becoming aware of your own thoughts and actions gives you the ability to adjust, change, that aspect of your life. Through practice, visualization, and awareness you can bring this change into your life. This process takes time and discipline to achieve. The science behind the way the brain works. It takes two months for the neurons, in your brain, to grow new connections. New thoughts and actions bring about new connections. Mastery comes after a year. The only thing in life that we can control, adjust, is our own thoughts and feelings. Our actions. Shi Heng Yi, touches on our inner world becoming our outer world. This principle of life is the driving force behind how each individual lives. Our thoughts and feelings directly affect the state of our energy. In turn our energy directly affects our outer world. You will bring into your life that which you put out into the world. I very much enjoy listening to him speak about what he's learned in his life
This was really helpful. I've recently been feeling a lot of feelings about my ex husband and the abuse I suffered, because he still tries to get control. Letting go, finding balance, and adjusting is all relevant for wellbeing.
Bullies only attack those they think won't fight back.. I said this in a comment above, but If we always did least resistance then Dictators and warlords and local thugs (and abusive types) would be taking every thing we valued and doing terrible things to innocent good hearted people who don't fight back.. The irony is that Shaolin would NEVER have even started to practice MARTIAL arts if they were not going to ACTIVELY try to exert force against things and people they did not approve of in the area they lived in
I love these conversations. I just couldn't go without mentioning that when I see all this traditional attire, decoration, and tea set, and then see the man bring out your standard electronic kettle in a conversation about dichotomy, I couldn't help but start chuckling :D
Cosign to the 9th power. You can never control outside external factors, you can only control your reaction to it. Whew!!! I have had to learn this lesson rather painfully, until I learned to step back and go within to check myself.
Hi I saw master shi Heng yi talking about stress 😬 he is so right a lot of people get stressed about things I get stressed about things the problem is that we keep it inside of us that is not good 👍 because stress builds up that is not good at all we have to learn to let go of the stress I listen to the master shi Heng yi when ever he is on u tube respect him and his words of wisdom and knowledge thank you
I think I met this man before! If I'm right, he was helping a local business to adjust to their new premises. What an honour that I met him, or even a similar looking calming person! Helping workers to stress less in their work is surely a great idea. Also, the Shaolin Masters clearly know how to buy a quality kettle- I have one of those and they really help to make good, healthy, tea.
Very brilliant honorable mention at the end regarding breath work and Qigong. More notably the fact that air literally travels and interacts with both the internal and external world. More on a spiritual note, some traditions regard our planets air as a living "breathing" conscious being. Similar to "mother earth" and "father sky" both used commonly in various iterations throughout time. An inner-standing of the genuine connection or "oneness" of all things, lead me back to "self".
this means very very much to me. The balance between inisde and outside is a real challenge. It requires lots of energies, that are devoured, and leave myself into an inertial-like state. Nothing has happened, nothing changed, I have the control over nothing. BUT, if I choose the challenge relating myself to my past experience, I nearly automatically choose a way into a pattern. It iso NOT my aim, it's a simple, direct flowing. Perhaps, this is what he means. I have understood that.
Much appreciated and so helpful for the soul - both practically and spiritually. Thank you very much for hosting this interview with Master Shi Heng Yi.🙏
That talk was amazing!!! Like cannot even say. He just covered it alll it was so good to watch!! Thank you for getting such good content. Content that helps us reach higher. ❤
thank you 💗. Meditation - yoga - self awareness - journaling-stoicism- spirituality - neuroscience. I hope / at the same time my feeling that more / more people would start moving towards self awareness/ discovering about themselves.

People and situations are powerless with out your reaction. Namaste
He had me at the initial tea sip. I just knew the drop was en route.
By letting go, we control our lives.
By giving up, we never surrender, to the need to not give up. 🤔✨
I gather everything everyone let's go, because they will want to lose it again oneday and I'll be able to sell it back to the losers.
You get this day for free if you bye these 4 other shitdays 😁
5 for the price of 4

That little sip of the tea he did before starting was so cool to me 😂😂😂😂
Its so bruce leewish

That was a nice touch for the director / editor to leave that in. Made me take a sip of my Tea as well!
I just knew he was gone say some wisdomish stuff when he took that at sip 😂😭
He's not a cult of personality. You miss the point
“Lord, grant me serenity for the things I cannot change, courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
Universe, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen

@@Sanguinarius9999 thanks for correcting that misguided and misplaced quote.

Hahahahaha indeed once you taste on this peace of God, u have to ensure it's protected at whatever cost. I agree with you
Stress is connected to anxiety, and anxiety makes people feel not loved. Peace comes when we treat ourselves with love, patience and kindness.
Absolutely true
True and guru once said i you want true peace you must find it within your self because there is no real peace now a days in the world.
One of the biggest realizations I have had recently is - life revolves around being and doing. We have to find balance between work and relaxation. To have responsibility, goals, purpose and to be virtuous. That is all what it is. Everyone has their own way in reaching those truths.
It's a fascinating how he reworded, elaborated and stretched everything Epictetus said.

We will probably feel it's internal, but once it's identified that it's caused by something physical we might change our mind. This doesn't change the source of the feeling, it just changes which box we put it in, whether we take responsibility, identify, feel ownership over it.
Thank you. I realize I must also build my body and energy
God bless all. Thank you for helping others when a physcologist is incapable of helping others. You have helped me to be at peace.
I like that athough Shi Heng Yi prioritises adjusting oneself internal world/repsonse to the external world, he also acknowledges that changing the external world is important, something that stoic philosophy doesn't delve much in
This was an amazing video. As a counsellor I see how helping people with implementing stoicism and philosophy , and spiritual practices, can help them have an increasingly better quality of life.
"The key to a good day, is low expectations!"✌️
Aawwhh. Love the blacky! So clam! ❤
This talk came along at precisely the right time! Much gratitude 🙏 🙏🙏
No expectations no disappointments. Well to a degree, I live by this wee philosophy.
Thankyou again.💜
Ya right are you single
Disappointment will help you grow to a better endurance person . There is alway a ying and Yang in philosophy, it will alway come to how we look at it .
I love your videos! I’m so thankful for there not being background music and you are such a great listener! You just allow the Master to express his brilliance without distraction.
he eats the dogs
Thank you, Shi Heng Yi. I needed council tonight. I will move my question from one of self-control to one of self-adjustment. The question of what self is then might become more approachable.
I've net a lot of orphans who turn to this type of internal training to feel whole. Myself included. Love it.
Such an interesting metaphysics. Aligns pretty well with our experience of reality
He is very wise 🦉 thank you for sharing this
If you want to experience this life - learn how to breathe💛 love this Guy!!! Such an amazing tips to finally live the life we want🥰
It is very good topic. Thanks to Master Shi Heng Yi.
Sending positive vibes, healing, light and love to all,, God speed 😍💖✌️🙏
❤ so wise, I needed to hear these words of wisdom this morning, thankyou master Yi 🙏 💜❤
🙏❤️ Those with dementia or serious illness we have to have empathy and compassion ❤️
When my papa got me a tricycle and then a bike, no training wheels, I was placed on my bicycle and my balance of energy was flying.
This is fantastic. Loved the accompanying music also. Not too loud not too soft and not too busy. Much appreciated.
Wonderful talk. Very simple strategies.
This is one of the most useful videos I've seen lately.
Thank you ❤
Excellent. Thank you. This ties in with everything I'm working on inner work wise and being still and quiet and out of fear and into Love and Grace. Love the message and the messenger.
Such great wisdom and information.
Look within. Know thy true present eternal self.
I feel Understanding the similarities between the behaviours of Universal things with ourselves is very important to explore much more. Love this Video.❣️
He was better than expected I will say
What were you expecting/ projecting?
;)
Thank You Shi. Believe it or not, you’ve been of much help to me. Thank you.
Becoming aware of your own thoughts and actions gives you the ability to adjust, change, that aspect of your life. Through practice, visualization, and awareness you can bring this change into your life.
This process takes time and discipline to achieve. The science behind the way the brain works. It takes two months for the neurons, in your brain, to grow new connections. New thoughts and actions bring about new connections. Mastery comes after a year.
The only thing in life that we can control, adjust, is our own thoughts and feelings. Our actions.
Shi Heng Yi, touches on our inner world becoming our outer world. This principle of life is the driving force behind how each individual lives. Our thoughts and feelings directly affect the state of our energy. In turn our energy directly affects our outer world.
You will bring into your life that which you put out into the world. I very much enjoy listening to him speak about what he's learned in his life
Don't stop doing what you are doing. Too you both, thank you.
Thank you, I won’t stop.
6:33 Awwww....😍😍🥰
This was really helpful.
I've recently been feeling a lot of feelings about my ex husband and the abuse I suffered, because he still tries to get control.
Letting go, finding balance, and adjusting is all relevant for wellbeing.
More power to you.
Bullies only attack those they think won't fight back..
I said this in a comment above, but If we always did least resistance then Dictators and warlords and local thugs (and abusive types) would be taking every thing we valued and doing terrible things to innocent good hearted people who don't fight back.. The irony is that Shaolin would NEVER have even started to practice MARTIAL arts if they were not going to ACTIVELY try to exert force against things and people they did not approve of in the area they lived in
Loved it😊 I wish it would have spanish subtitles though, so I could share it more. I love Shi Heng Yi teachings ❤
Thank You ☯️♥️
I love these conversations. I just couldn't go without mentioning that when I see all this traditional attire, decoration, and tea set, and then see the man bring out your standard electronic kettle in a conversation about dichotomy, I couldn't help but start chuckling :D
Right…
Also those sleeves would stress me out if I had to wear that
In another video, he started talking about the Jedi and Darth Vader haha
That's a whole other method of internal acceptance. Practicing this in a 2022 modern technology world.
You like appearances.
I thought the same thing! 😂
Shi Heng Yi has been a important tutor for me during my development. Thank you for sharing your knowlodge with us in a calm way
Cosign to the 9th power. You can never control outside external factors, you can only control your reaction to it. Whew!!! I have had to learn this lesson rather painfully, until I learned to step back and go within to check myself.
Just started to understand how to do Qigong works very fascinating exercises and activities 😊
Thank you for this reminder. I need it on the daily. So thankful for this breath...and this one.
Hi I saw master shi Heng yi talking about stress 😬 he is so right a lot of people get stressed about things I get stressed about things the problem is that we keep it inside of us that is not good 👍 because stress builds up that is not good at all we have to learn to let go of the stress I listen to the master shi Heng yi when ever he is on u tube respect him and his words of wisdom and knowledge thank you
Thank you for the adjustment in perception.
Fantastic video. Balance is the hardest part for most people in life to master in my experience and observations.
THANK YOU SHI HENG YI & EVERY DAY STOIC AND MULLIGAN BROTHERS
A beautiful man,good man and great job expressing this. Rarely ever do we find the noble thing
I think I met this man before! If I'm right, he was helping a local business to adjust to their new premises. What an honour that I met him, or even a similar looking calming person! Helping workers to stress less in their work is surely a great idea. Also, the Shaolin Masters clearly know how to buy a quality kettle- I have one of those and they really help to make good, healthy, tea.
No idea how I even stumbled upon this video but I watched and barely blinked the entire time.
Thank you for sharing this message with us 🙂 I shared this message with some of my family and friends.
Very brilliant honorable mention at the end regarding breath work and Qigong. More notably the fact that air literally travels and interacts with both the internal and external world. More on a spiritual note, some traditions regard our planets air as a living "breathing" conscious being. Similar to "mother earth" and "father sky" both used commonly in various iterations throughout time. An inner-standing of the genuine connection or "oneness" of all things, lead me back to "self".
These practices are really good for channeling inner self outward
this means very very much to me. The balance between inisde and outside is a real challenge. It requires lots of energies, that are devoured, and leave myself into an inertial-like state. Nothing has happened, nothing changed, I have the control over nothing. BUT, if I choose the challenge relating myself to my past experience, I nearly automatically choose a way into a pattern. It iso NOT my aim, it's a simple, direct flowing. Perhaps, this is what he means. I have understood that.
Much appreciated and so helpful for the soul - both practically and spiritually. Thank you very much for hosting this interview with Master Shi Heng Yi.🙏
Total acceptence of one self. Make it one. Then circumstances are. No problema!
GUA FUNG important piece here. Love you all, we are here together.
within yourself you are pure, outside of yourself you only shape the image of yourself.
That talk was amazing!!! Like cannot even say. He just covered it alll it was so good to watch!! Thank you for getting such good content. Content that helps us reach higher. ❤
thank you 💗. Meditation - yoga - self awareness - journaling-stoicism- spirituality - neuroscience. I hope / at the same time my feeling that more / more people would start moving towards self awareness/ discovering about themselves.
Thank for this special message today.
Thank you and the universe just send me a sign and let me get that In on the right path in alignment when it comes to Qigong, I absolute love it
