Asian women are raised as codependents. Also Asian men. Basically Asians are raised to keep unhappy relationships and wearing masks and doing excessive people-pleasing and self sacrificing. Europeans are raised as total narcissists : sacrificing others for the sake of self , not knowing how to negociate and find agreements , obsession about individuality that ends up in making themselves extra lonely (self-destructing individualism) . There is work to do on both sides.
I know what you mean, I also think it’s a female problem; as a part asian and middle eastern woman, I can say we have the same issue on both sides of not speaking up with what we want
You want to "bust that energy" but not at the expense of the true energy of others. As teal said when and where we can we should work things out together. If that's not possible then terminate the malfunctioning relationship instead of busting your own desires at the expense of someone else's, because you feel you've been oppressed for so long as an Asian, a woman or whatever

I have learnt from my mother to suppress my own needs and desires. I have always seen her serving others unselfishly. I feel guilty for meeting any of me desires as an adult.
Just integrated this lesson. For a very long time I created a huge distraction of my inherent desire of being adored and protected, and it turned into a major trigger based around others getting that very need met by being vulnerable in a way I could not access. My trauma came to a head today. A worst nightmare of mine came true.

For anyone reading, your trauma is there to teach you so much. Sit with it, listen to your body's sensations, and you may find that, like me, a desire reveals itself to you like a little gift informing you about your neglected needs. 💕 I hope this speaks to someone.
Desire should be taken for both its positive and negative aspects. It is the flame of life and very necessary but as all fire it can destroy when it gets the best of us. To deny desire will surely lead to misfortune as the unconscious elements will become conscious in the most disagreeable ways. But to give in to desire without reservation is also dangerous as you will be giving yourself away to be burnt by the fires of passion, needless to say this is where recklessness meets the sharp edges that unchecked desire produces. A certain level of composure is always necessary especially when dealing with something as fundamentally volatile as what we most want.

"Quality relationships over longevity of relationships" sooooo resonates with me! Most couples I know who have been married for so long, show no real signs of quality anymore...
Desires are contagious, doesn't matter where and it will not be the perfect time,but it will certainly be a perfect moment, just remember self control until you meet the end goal, most get that backwards.
You are absolutely good enough. I know how you feel, as I've felt like that for many years. It's a straight out lie for anyone to tell anyone that they are not good enough, because we are. It's how we are created.
Teal I love you and can't wait to meet you someday your teachings have completely changed my life and I want to express deep levels of gratitude for you
So perfect. This is what I needed today. As a kid, my basic needs often weren’t taken care of. When I expressed them, I was treated as though it was selfish to have basic needs. I’ve only ever been able to pursue my desires if I can find a way for them to serve others/the group. This has led me to me playing a hero/savior archetype. The idea that I can do things just for myself, and that self-love and other love are one in the same (if it is true love), has been a profound shift. I’m growing into self-love, self-compassion, self-care, but desire is still hard. I have so much programming around my desires being selfish. Thank you for presenting a vision of spirituality that isn’t constantly trying to kill or transcend the human, but rather to integrate him/her/they.
So well put! Unfortunately this parent child dynamic is the norm in society. Our physical needs are taken care of but there is no realisation of our emotional and mental needs like our desires. As soon as we expressed a desire for something we are punished and told that we are selfish. I’m so happy that you have noticed this dynamic and Are putting in the steps towards self love and integration. We need more people like you 💖
People around me have convinced me that my needs are my desires and on top of that teaching things such as "desires are the root of all evil" "desire less, be grateful for what you have" etc. I can understand why I feel the agony, the deep sense of longing for something, the depression. I know now why. I confirm now.
My parents put their own desires first and left me to be raised by grandparents. I've always been the type of person who believes that you must do what's expected not what you desire. Not anymore tho . I am starting to really understand . Thank you Teal always amazing and beautiful 💙💜💙💜
I was just thinking about that! How desire happens in response to trauma... Pathological or maladaptive obsessions such as greed, power hunger, sex addiction, compulsive workaholism, etc... it’s all stemming from scarcity and unmet needs from the past. Longing for something is so painful...
Emotional trauma can win over you...ONLY IF YOU LET IT! The heart is where your truest and eternal self resides. It is the absolute and complete foundation of your core being. Let it guide you. The heart has always been beside you. 🙏🏽🌿💚
Pause and temporarily deny your desires and you will find what your heart longs for. For, in an emotional rush or fit of anger, how do you know if any desire of yours is where your truest and eternal self resides unless you listen to your heart. One work from the heart, however small, done secretly, without desire that it be known, is worth more than a thousand done with the desire that people know of them. We are obliged to be careful and understand what we are doing. Make sense of something before acting and fulfilling your desires since desires lead to intent.
Hi Ms. Teal. My mother died almost 20 years ago, which brought a lot of trauma in my life. Now that I am healing, I always consider you as my mother figure. Thank you!
Judging by the comments, so many don't understand desire as life force and are happier by relying on socially determined desires. Excellent video Teal 🙏♥️
I've followed my desires in life, and I can safely say it has brought both tremendous joy and incredible pain. Benjamin Franklin said, "If Passion drives, let Reason hold the reigns." That, if I could go back in time, would be my adjusted philosophy. Let yourself desire, but also be wise and prudent.
By prudent i think you mean "mind your heart and nurture his needs as well by admitting the complexity of reality" There is a difference between following your desires and being impulsive
I’m afraid of my own desire because people think I’m selfish, when all I want is to have enough peace and joy that I may share it with the world and make everyone’s day, everyday...
I’m afraid of other people’s desires because they might want too much from me, and I can’t satisfy them. If I can’t satisfy them, I feel guilty. And they may feel like I was selfish, because I didn’t give more 😭
Back when I was 20, I read Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. One of the things I remember most from the book was his definition of desire. He is an Idealist, so the definition was essentially the Platonic Form of desire. This means that it is the perfected notion in the transcendent world of Forms that everything else here participates in, to a lesser degree. The definition of Desire is "the annihilation of the object." When we desire food, we attempt to annihilate the "objectness" of the lesser being that becomes elevated through the ideal to the higher organism in the food chain. Annihilation is never perfected, but attempted. Sexual desire in its essence is an attempt at the annihilation of mortality. See Plato Symposium discussion with Diotima about the "erotic ascent." Because Desire is the annihilation of the object, the "object" must be perceived as separable. You don't desire what you already have. Desire requires distance.
I'm glad you brought this perspectice Teal Swan, as often in the spiritual and religious communities there's a judgement over desiring material "earthly things" when in fact there is no wrong. Desire IS, working to achieve what your heart yearns is the right path, not the condemnation of others or limiting beliefs placed on you. There's INFINTE ways to reconnect with Source, there's not one path or set of beliefs.
I have a lot less desires today than I did 4 years ago. Not because I achieved goals i desired, but because the pain of going through with it was no longer worth it to me. I have associated desire with pain so much, I no longer see a difference between the 2. I just have pain now and that has drastically stunted my desires. My expansion has also stunted. I’m okay with all of that.

I am afraid of desire because _____: -it makes me vulnerable to rejection or failure, and that would confirm my inadequacy. -I feel shame and guilt because of false beliefs about desire due to selfishness programming. I think I’m a bad person if I go for what I want. -if I can’t achieve or attain what I desire, I fear frustration and self criticism because it will lead to feelings of incompetency.
Many people here are commenting about not their fear of their desires, but their powerlessness in achieving their very desires. In this case, I would say perhaps consider amending your desires to turn them into things that actually do remain within the frame of your own power, then learn to love and embrace those newly revised desires. This takes a heightened level of acceptance with life’s truths as they present to us only when we truly listen. Through this amendment process, however, we will gain not only more empowerment, but more joy of life, as Teal mentions in her conclusion statement. Blessings to all~
Teal, you are the most awesome person I've met online. Your insight is so profound and just nails it for me. I'm actually battling to find the correct words to express what I feel inside. I will rely on telepathic capabilities for you to realize what I'm feeling, if you read this. Thank you so much. You are just incredible. Everything I've pondered about the last 4 years specifically you confirm what life has taught me once I woke up to myself. Astounding.
I know there’s a video on it already but I’d still love to know more in depth about how to realign a faulty compass. It’s such an awful feeling to think u can’t trust your own feelings after being taught that they are your guidance system. And it gets so complicated in my head when there are competing belief systems/parts. I sometimes have to mind map everything on a white board just to keep it straight 🙃
What do you really desire ? Yes you. Aren't you scared that so many will desire you? Can i say i love you and desire you ? I am allso married and have 2 Kids, these are things i dezired and still do and i am happy and fulfilled. Thank you for the lessons ! 🥰😘❤
Desire *is* what is painful having it but not believing it will become realized. Feeling like you are going in the direction of getting what is desired or that it's manifesting is happiness and is happiness from thouht through manifestation. Often getting what you want just makes you realize you want the next thing now that new contrast (what is unwanted by you) came with the coming of what you wanted.
I am aware of my desires and i ask Holy Spirit to give me discernment and self control, to know if my actions and behavior is beneficial to others and myself. I pray to the Father, through the Son, who sent me the Spirit. They created the universe. I desire to be one with them.
What we tend to define as our "desire", is highly mutable and ever evolving. Like intention, we often attempt to reach the well-meaning, by unknowingly traversing through paths that mislead us; sometimes, even to self-destruction.
I fear desire because it leads to suffering and dissatisfaction. As a result i found cultivating mindfulness, cultivating loving-kindness, and developing a sense of gratitude is much better than desire.
Oh wow! I think is the other way around, it is not the desire that causes suffering and dissatisfaction, what causes suffering and dissactisfaction is the inability to accept you may not get it and the misconception of thinking desiring something gives you some kind of right over it ….
“Desire does erase free will, nor does it erase freedom.” While this is certainly a very liberating statement, one should also take into consideration that this also does not take away the consequences of choices made out of free will and supported by desire. This is why it’s important that desire and free will should be approached in a mature manner.
It really helps if you believe in concepts such as "kismet", or "destiny", or "fate"-- but in a world which is really made up of a Mandelbrot series of possibilities, and a Hénon map of probabilities...
This was a very insightful video Teal! Thank you! I've answered your questions for myself and the information gained from that is so incredibly impactful! Growing up, I've had this idea that having desire is something shameful... So up until I was 28 years old, I've never even considered what I truly desired. When I did ask myself the question, I got so frustrated with myself because I didn't know the answer... I didn't know how to read my own feelings at that moment. Being more aligned with myself now, I finally am able to see my desires more clearly... All in all, it's such a wonderful journey.
I did all of the written exercises while watching the video - what an intense experience! Thank you so much Teal, this definitely brought me a lot of clarity, comfort and acceptance ❤️
As introverted as I behave, if I was alone on a desert island I would try to find more people. Or make friends with animals. If I couldn't find people...I would probably just want to live a simple life moment by moment.

This one really floored me. I have had 3 different woman/relationships in the span of 6 years. When looking at desire i see more clearly its not long term relationships i really desire. Its just plain effection of woman, and thats simply it, just having the love and effection of woman with no strings attached. In reality i realize this may be a tall order, and is probably why i have had a hell of a time with woman. This desire may be just completely unatainable.To have and keep my freedom, and at the same time have and keep the love and affection of woman. Notice i said woman. Not a woman. Singular...
I fined to fulfill my spontaneous desires most difficult. And let stop my self because I have to go alone. Or the desire to get a huge or give a hug to my partner who is scared to be huged Thanks for the video red to listen again to get it in my brain
Awesome video. It's true, desires define mortal life. Desires are definers of mortality. Because they change or even gets lost. But is mortality not a truth ? What is the absolute truth. Soul doesn't die !! What is death ? A complete reset of life. Every soul more or less forgets it's previous life. Thus in one dimension your energy called soul transcends to while in another dimension you die. It is so because, there is no absolute truth. Truth is always relative to each other. Same is true with lie or false. Desire is not equal to grief. Desire is not equal to duality. Desire is not equal to joy. Desire is not equal satisfaction. Desire is not equal to sacrifice. Desire is your personal color of expressing self. Thus desire truly is the quality of your creativity. But lust towards desire is yes flaw of self. Just as any thing other desire can also visit you every day and go away as well because it will return next day. Thus nothing to repent for. Hopefully this was insightful and delightful. Love and light to you dear Teal and friends.
Wow, what an amazing video! I just had to reach out and let you know how much your content has been resonating with me lately. For the longest time, desire felt like this huge obstacle in my life, something to be wary of. But thanks to you, I'm starting to see things from a different perspective, one that's really helping me grow. The timing of your insights couldn't be more perfect! It's like you're speaking directly to what I'm going through. When I did those exercises you suggested, asking myself what I'm afraid of when it comes to desire, I was floored by what I discovered. Fear of god , fear of not entering heaven, fear of so many things I never even realized were holding me back. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Your videos have become such a valuable part of my journey, and I can't wait to see where this newfound understanding of desire takes me. You're truly making a difference, and I just wanted to express my gratitude. Keep doing what you're doing, because you're touching lives in ways you might not even realize. Sending you all the love and appreciation in the world!
Mindfully healing after a lifetime of trauma gave me a kind of wisdom that goes beyond my years. Finding your channel has given me unexpected validation while literally moving to a whole new life. Like the adage goes, when the student is ready… I still have a lot to learn about myself and your content is a welcome perspective. Thank you.
To know your own true desires youve got to spend time healing yourself and getting to know and love yourself then your truth will shine through and people in allignment with it will join you x
Okay I've never met anyone more wise smart and knowing then Teal... Her videos help me thru so much and my own awakening in life which has been scary at times... thank you for putting yourself out there and making this videos...I'm sure others feel the same xx blessings to you
Well, I made my nervous system calm. It is not necessarily pain-bound. We have a lot of unhealed ungrounded nervous activity. When we develop deep feelings, the desire is an indication of an opportunity of amplification of a inner feeling state in the outside world. The negative effects are a matter of this nervous arousal that does not allow space for mindfullness. The way I disagree with Teal stems from the fact that I tried and experienced the individuation of my emotionality. Emotions are a language to communicate with others. I feel that Teal supports the emotional connectivity with the closest ones because of love. I feel that in order to let love flow through trauma builups, you need to create your own emotional space, with no cords. Then the emotional body heals. And then you feel clearer and are able to build and physically experience the feelings that are a deeper layer. I wish you all the experience of peace and deep feelings, not only responsive emotions. Keep well, beautiful people ❤
Wow! Mindblown at asking myself that question you posed: "If I were the last person on earth, what would I desire?" and realizing all my desires were pretty much moot lol. All that was left (and therefore I guess personally-determined desires) were: Freedom (to do whatever the hell I want) and Time (whenever the hell I want). So I guess I shall be focusing on these then for my life safisfaction! Thank you for the insight. Your work is always so insightful and mindblowing. Thank you ♥ Recently discovered your work on The Completion Process, and cannot wait to start that. Namaste, Teal. 🙏

It also depends on the level of consciousness you have awareness of. If u inhabit the 2nd dimension like most people do u will live in contrast seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. In the 7th dimension the definition of desire has a different energy so you could almost say it is not the same desire as what is felt in the first second or third dimensions of limitation. Donnie Darko was right when he completely destroyed his teacher's philosophical narrative of fear vs love. Fear vs love is too simple and binary to define greater forms of being. In the first dimension of consciousness fear is detrimental but on the 5th dimension it creates an awakening of pleasure that can only be understood when you submit your own desires to a higher power. Therefore fear is one of the most essential emotions as awe and heavenly bliss require fear in combination with other positive emotions. Fear is not the opposite of love unless u are a two dimensional being. When you are in harmony with the universe what you desire in the 3rd dimension becomes manifest in the 7th dimension where you lose everything including your desire. In that sense the 7th dimension of consciousness awareness is where you define selflessness.

Thank you so much teal, this exact topic was in my mouth last night, and I can’t wait to share this with my partner 💜 thank you for articulating 🙏🏼 🦋🦋🦋
I love what Teal but it is the opposite of what I have been taught, spiritually. I would love to hear thoughts on what Teal shares compared to One of the characteristics of Nirvāṇa, the ultimate goal of Buddhism, is its absence of desire and craving. It is a state of complete and permanent fulfillment. Hearing this, some people ask how it is possible to attain a desireless state by desiring to attain it.
step by step. By completing all your desires through a multi-life process. Nirvana itself is a state of non-movement and you can not keep that state 24/7 as you are alive.
Your ability to discuss concepts like this with such even, unwavering certainty makes the knowledge resonate in a more profound way rather than with a routine or spoonfed sense to it. Why is this? ... I have never watched a video of yours which I have rejected the message of... makes me wonder if I'm really here to learn or just to feel good that you are speaking sense I believe in already
It's not an easy task, drilling down. Slowly peeling away the layers, thanks for you, Teal. You help me see the union of Durga and Kali in gentle harmony. A desire to emulate that, is one of my many desires. As a mother, lover, sister. My life is full of an unbalance of masculine. I have to be that masculine more than I like. I've been searching a long time inside to find balance between strong and gentle. I want to be a mother who makes my children feel encouraged not scared. Steps forward, Ah-Ho. Happy Day! Namaste'

Pathological or maladaptive obsessions such as greed, power hunger, sex addiction, compulsive workaholism, etc... it’s all stemming from scarcity and unmet needs from the past. Longing for something is so painful...
Emotional trauma can win over you...ONLY IF YOU LET IT! The heart is where your truest and eternal self resides. It is the absolute and complete foundation of your core being. Let it guide you. The heart has always been beside you. 🙏🏽🌿💚
Pause and temporarily deny your desires and you will find what your heart longs for. For, in an emotional rush or fit of anger, how do you know if any desire of yours is where your truest and eternal self resides unless you listen to your heart. One work from the heart, however small, done secretly, without desire that it be known, is worth more than a thousand done with the desire that people know of them. We are obliged to be careful and understand what we are doing. Make sense of something before acting and fulfilling your desires since desires lead to intent.
Inside you
Hi Ms. Teal. My mother died almost 20 years ago, which brought a lot of trauma in my life. Now that I am healing, I always consider you as my mother figure. Thank you!
She died or mixed back to soil?

Judging by the comments, so many don't understand desire as life force and are happier by relying on socially determined desires. Excellent video Teal 🙏♥️
I've followed my desires in life, and I can safely say it has brought both tremendous joy and incredible pain. Benjamin Franklin said, "If Passion drives, let Reason hold the reigns." That, if I could go back in time, would be my adjusted philosophy. Let yourself desire, but also be wise and prudent.
By prudent i think you mean "mind your heart and nurture his needs as well by admitting the complexity of reality"
There is a difference between following your desires and being impulsive
I'm literally on an island, Galapagos, through my DESIRE to Know and Unite this beautiful Pacha Mama, and the great lighr and void beyond. Blessings.
I’m afraid of my own desire because people think I’m selfish, when all I want is to have enough peace and joy that I may share it with the world and make everyone’s day, everyday...
I’m afraid of other people’s desires because they might want too much from me, and I can’t satisfy them. If I can’t satisfy them, I feel guilty. And they may feel like I was selfish, because I didn’t give more 😭
Pretty well constructed trap. 🙄
What I desire desires me! 🙏💗🌈🌏
Thank you for this... I shut down my sons desire the other day for something that to me seemed unimportant. This was eye opening.
I am afraid of desire because it can take control over me. But the desire I really have is to learn and work with Teal.
It would be a win win for sure.
That sounds like a lovely desire you have. Hope you pursue it...
Back when I was 20, I read Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. One of the things I remember most from the book was his definition of desire. He is an Idealist, so the definition was essentially the Platonic Form of desire. This means that it is the perfected notion in the transcendent world of Forms that everything else here participates in, to a lesser degree. The definition of Desire is "the annihilation of the object." When we desire food, we attempt to annihilate the "objectness" of the lesser being that becomes elevated through the ideal to the higher organism in the food chain. Annihilation is never perfected, but attempted. Sexual desire in its essence is an attempt at the annihilation of mortality. See Plato Symposium discussion with Diotima about the "erotic ascent." Because Desire is the annihilation of the object, the "object" must be perceived as separable. You don't desire what you already have. Desire requires distance.
All that I desire exists, and my body,mind and soul needs an abundance of it
I'm glad you brought this perspectice Teal Swan, as often in the spiritual and religious communities there's a judgement over desiring material "earthly things" when in fact there is no wrong. Desire IS, working to achieve what your heart yearns is the right path, not the condemnation of others or limiting beliefs placed on you. There's INFINTE ways to reconnect with Source, there's not one path or set of beliefs.
Ever amending??!! We’re doomed 😭
Thanks for your work always forever
I have a lot less desires today than I did 4 years ago. Not because I achieved goals i desired, but because the pain of going through with it was no longer worth it to me. I have associated desire with pain so much, I no longer see a difference between the 2. I just have pain now and that has drastically stunted my desires. My expansion has also stunted. I’m okay with all of that.
Okay

I am afraid of desire because _____:
-it makes me vulnerable to rejection or failure, and that would confirm my inadequacy.
-I feel shame and guilt because of false beliefs about desire due to selfishness programming. I think I’m a bad person if I go for what I want.
-if I can’t achieve or attain what I desire, I fear frustration and self criticism because it will lead to feelings of incompetency.
Turning my world in
This women helps so much.... Look how good teal looks... Wow
She's beautiful
She is insanely beautiful and wise beyond her years
Teal is magical
Teal is authentic.
Right 😭✨
Love you forever Teal. I found you at a time in my life when I was absolutely ready to hear my truth 💖
Many people here are commenting about not their fear of their desires, but their powerlessness in achieving their very desires. In this case, I would say perhaps consider amending your desires to turn them into things that actually do remain within the frame of your own power, then learn to love and embrace those newly revised desires. This takes a heightened level of acceptance with life’s truths as they present to us only when we truly listen. Through this amendment process, however, we will gain not only more empowerment, but more joy of life, as Teal mentions in her conclusion statement. Blessings to all~
I now have a healthy relationship to desire. I accept my desires. They are like directions pointing me forward ❤
Desire has got to be channelled in a productive, healthy way - the desire to learn, to create, inspire, and contribute.
💯
Thank you. Which she doent mention in this vide smh
@@thaaking11bcs she said its ok to desire
So you spend u whole life resisting ?
All desires lead to positive and negative results forever… C’est la vie…wow. Im stunned
Desire a passive yet intimate word it's a. ACTION WORD I believe
My Lilith moon is in Taurus... I definitely grapple with this often
Teal, you are the most awesome person I've met online. Your insight is so profound and just nails it for me. I'm actually battling to find the correct words to express what I feel inside. I will rely on telepathic capabilities for you to realize what I'm feeling, if you read this. Thank you so much. You are just incredible. Everything I've pondered about the last 4 years specifically you confirm what life has taught me once I woke up to myself. Astounding.
Desire is the path of life
Yes especially if we are already in 5d
Source information at its best
I know there’s a video on it already but I’d still love to know more in depth about how to realign a faulty compass. It’s such an awful feeling to think u can’t trust your own feelings after being taught that they are your guidance system. And it gets so complicated in my head when there are competing belief systems/parts. I sometimes have to mind map everything on a white board just to keep it straight 🙃
What do you really desire ? Yes you.
Aren't you scared that so many will desire you?
Can i say i love you and desire you ?
I am allso married and have 2 Kids, these are things i dezired and still do and i am happy and fulfilled.
Thank you for the lessons !
🥰😘❤
Desire *is* what is painful having it but not believing it will become realized. Feeling like you are going in the direction of getting what is desired or that it's manifesting is happiness and is happiness from thouht through manifestation. Often getting what you want just makes you realize you want the next thing now that new contrast (what is unwanted by you) came with the coming of what you wanted.
I am aware of my desires and i ask Holy Spirit to give me discernment and self control, to know if my actions and behavior is beneficial to others and myself. I pray to the Father, through the Son, who sent me the Spirit. They created the universe. I desire to be one with them.
Teal swan is best teacher on UA-cam.....
What we tend to define as our "desire", is highly mutable and ever evolving. Like intention, we often attempt to reach the well-meaning, by unknowingly traversing through paths that mislead us; sometimes, even to self-destruction.
A man can take a leap of faith and follow his desire, bvt what it can cost is family, home, dignity, essentially shattering a whole way of life. :(
True. But if you don't follow your desires at all - what if at the end of your life you end up with regrets that weigh tons?
I fear desire because it leads to suffering and dissatisfaction. As a result i found cultivating mindfulness, cultivating loving-kindness, and developing a sense of gratitude is much better than desire.
Oh wow! I think is the other way around, it is not the desire that causes suffering and dissatisfaction, what causes suffering and dissactisfaction is the inability to accept you may not get it and the misconception of thinking desiring something gives you some kind of right over it ….
“Desire does erase free will, nor does it erase freedom.”
While this is certainly a very liberating statement, one should also take into consideration that this also does not take away the consequences of choices made out of free will and supported by desire.
This is why it’s important that desire and free will should be approached in a mature manner.
"It will never come a day where you don't feel desire"...thank you Teal!🙏
Goodness me, you are precious, Teal.
Your profound perception and the words you use are like ointment.
It really helps if you believe in concepts such as "kismet", or "destiny", or "fate"-- but in a world which is really made up of a Mandelbrot series of possibilities, and a Hénon map of probabilities...
This was a very insightful video Teal! Thank you! I've answered your questions for myself and the information gained from that is so incredibly impactful! Growing up, I've had this idea that having desire is something shameful... So up until I was 28 years old, I've never even considered what I truly desired. When I did ask myself the question, I got so frustrated with myself because I didn't know the answer... I didn't know how to read my own feelings at that moment. Being more aligned with myself now, I finally am able to see my desires more clearly... All in all, it's such a wonderful journey.
Truth is reality. A majority of people will always choose the convenient lie before the Painful truth. I desire to know the truth of the matter.
I did all of the written exercises while watching the video - what an intense experience! Thank you so much Teal, this definitely brought me a lot of clarity, comfort and acceptance ❤️
Where are these written exercises?
The questions she is asking during the video :-)

As introverted as I behave, if I was alone on a desert island I would try to find more people. Or make friends with animals. If I couldn't find people...I would probably just want to live a simple life moment by moment.
wooow, friends with animals....njaaa
Connection and presence.. I get that!!!
My greatest desire is space exploration with a starship of my own. Obviously the absence of it has caused me intense pain and anger for over 20 years
go to physics degree and engineering degree. Go study , do whatever it takes to build spacecraft then.
Universities allow people over 30 to study whatever they want there.

This one really floored me. I have had 3 different woman/relationships in the span of 6 years. When looking at desire i see more clearly its not long term relationships i really desire. Its just plain effection of woman, and thats simply it, just having the love and effection of woman with no strings attached. In reality i realize this may be a tall order, and is probably why i have had a hell of a time with woman. This desire may be just completely unatainable.To have and keep my freedom, and at the same time have and keep the love and affection of woman. Notice i said woman. Not a woman. Singular...
ah man how can you not like Teal Swan...seems she is always answering the questions I'm having trouble with
And thats how you become self realizated ✨
God bless you all. Stay safe ❤️
Probably the best Teal Swan video
I fined to fulfill my spontaneous desires most difficult. And let stop my self because I have to go alone. Or the desire to get a huge or give a hug to my partner who is scared to be huged
Thanks for the video red to listen again to get it in my brain
Awesome video.
It's true, desires define mortal life. Desires are definers of mortality. Because they change or even gets lost.
But is mortality not a truth ?
What is the absolute truth.
Soul doesn't die !! What is death ?
A complete reset of life.
Every soul more or less forgets it's previous life. Thus in one dimension your energy called soul transcends to while in another dimension you die.
It is so because, there is no absolute truth. Truth is always relative to each other. Same is true with lie or false.
Desire is not equal to grief.
Desire is not equal to duality.
Desire is not equal to joy.
Desire is not equal satisfaction.
Desire is not equal to sacrifice.
Desire is your personal color of expressing self.
Thus desire truly is the quality of your creativity.
But lust towards desire is yes flaw of self.
Just as any thing other desire can also visit you every day and go away as well because it will return next day.
Thus nothing to repent for.
Hopefully this was insightful and delightful.
Love and light to you dear Teal and friends.

Wow, what an amazing video! I just had to reach out and let you know how much your content has been resonating with me lately. For the longest time, desire felt like this huge obstacle in my life, something to be wary of. But thanks to you, I'm starting to see things from a different perspective, one that's really helping me grow.
The timing of your insights couldn't be more perfect! It's like you're speaking directly to what I'm going through. When I did those exercises you suggested, asking myself what I'm afraid of when it comes to desire, I was floored by what I discovered. Fear of god , fear of not entering heaven, fear of so many things I never even realized were holding me back.
So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Your videos have become such a valuable part of my journey, and I can't wait to see where this newfound understanding of desire takes me. You're truly making a difference, and I just wanted to express my gratitude. Keep doing what you're doing, because you're touching lives in ways you might not even realize.
Sending you all the love and appreciation in the world!
Thank you Teal we all love you. We desire to express our gratitude and love for you and this lesson.
Mindfully healing after a lifetime of trauma gave me a kind of wisdom that goes beyond my years. Finding your channel has given me unexpected validation while literally moving to a whole new life. Like the adage goes, when the student is ready…
I still have a lot to learn about myself and your content is a welcome perspective. Thank you.
Actually good to know what desire the other person has and to give it to them
To know your own true desires youve got to spend time healing yourself and getting to know and love yourself then your truth will shine through and people in allignment with it will join you x
Teal is the Real while she is Tealing 💙💙💙
Amazing 👏 massage of truth and practicality. May God and the universe continue blessing this massage. Blessings to everyone 🤸♀️
Teal Swan, I must say this video gives one courage to acknowledge your allure. You are absolutely beautiful inside and out. ❤🎉
Destiny includes what will your desire is in past , present and future and so much more. Though desire is always the popular one ...
Okay I've never met anyone more wise smart and knowing then Teal... Her videos help me thru so much and my own awakening in life which has been scary at times... thank you for putting yourself out there and making this videos...I'm sure others feel the same xx blessings to you
Well, I made my nervous system calm. It is not necessarily pain-bound. We have a lot of unhealed ungrounded nervous activity. When we develop deep feelings, the desire is an indication of an opportunity of amplification of a inner feeling state in the outside world. The negative effects are a matter of this nervous arousal that does not allow space for mindfullness.
The way I disagree with Teal stems from the fact that I tried and experienced the individuation of my emotionality. Emotions are a language to communicate with others. I feel that Teal supports the emotional connectivity with the closest ones because of love. I feel that in order to let love flow through trauma builups, you need to create your own emotional space, with no cords. Then the emotional body heals. And then you feel clearer and are able to build and physically experience the feelings that are a deeper layer.
I wish you all the experience of peace and deep feelings, not only responsive emotions. Keep well, beautiful people ❤
Wow! Mindblown at asking myself that question you posed: "If I were the last person on earth, what would I desire?" and realizing all my desires were pretty much moot lol.
All that was left (and therefore I guess personally-determined desires) were: Freedom (to do whatever the hell I want) and Time (whenever the hell I want). So I guess I shall be focusing on these then for my life safisfaction! Thank you for the insight.
Your work is always so insightful and mindblowing. Thank you ♥ Recently discovered your work on The Completion Process, and cannot wait to start that. Namaste, Teal. 🙏
Thank U for Ur Honesty Teal!! I Appreciate Ur Rawness With Expressing these Truths that Must Be Said to Help Humanity Rise Up into a Collective of Love and Kindness and True Peace and Harmony!! Oneness!! I can Feel Ur Pain, Like all Videos U post I can Feel How U Feel So Deeply for Humanity it Shows!! Thank U for Ur Tears!! For Without them I couldn't Tear. Tears R the Highest Love of the Soul to ALL!!
It also depends on the level of consciousness you have awareness of. If u inhabit the 2nd dimension like most people do u will live in contrast seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. In the 7th dimension the definition of desire has a different energy so you could almost say it is not the same desire as what is felt in the first second or third dimensions of limitation. Donnie Darko was right when he completely destroyed his teacher's philosophical narrative of fear vs love. Fear vs love is too simple and binary to define greater forms of being. In the first dimension of consciousness fear is detrimental but on the 5th dimension it creates an awakening of pleasure that can only be understood when you submit your own desires to a higher power. Therefore fear is one of the most essential emotions as awe and heavenly bliss require fear in combination with other positive emotions. Fear is not the opposite of love unless u are a two dimensional being. When you are in harmony with the universe what you desire in the 3rd dimension becomes manifest in the 7th dimension where you lose everything including your desire. In that sense the 7th dimension of consciousness awareness is where you define selflessness.
I was never afraid of desire, but I had Lilith standing in the way much of my life.
The BETTER it gets, the BETTER it gets! ❣️🥰😘🤗
I have been taught that desire is being selfish. That it's not giving to other people.
Thank you. And may you have all you desire!
😮This gives a lot of insight, like a boom in your face. Clarity and Awareness are coming through now.
We were created with the ability to enjoy things.
Tasting: different foods.
Sight:, seeing beautiful things such as people, landscape, sunsets , artwork.
Hearing: music speech singing birds
Touch: people fabric flowers animals
Smell: food cooking, flowers fragrance
So enjoy them
Thank you so much teal, this exact topic was in my mouth last night, and I can’t wait to share this with my partner 💜 thank you for articulating 🙏🏼 🦋🦋🦋
I love what Teal but it is the opposite of what I have been taught, spiritually. I would love to hear thoughts on what Teal shares compared to One of the characteristics of Nirvāṇa, the ultimate goal of Buddhism, is its absence of desire and craving. It is a state of complete and permanent fulfillment. Hearing this, some people ask how it is possible to attain a desireless state by desiring to attain it.
step by step. By completing all your desires through a multi-life process. Nirvana itself is a state of non-movement and you can not keep that state 24/7 as you are alive.
Your ability to discuss concepts like this with such even, unwavering certainty makes the knowledge resonate in a more profound way rather than with a routine or spoonfed sense to it. Why is this? ... I have never watched a video of yours which I have rejected the message of... makes me wonder if I'm really here to learn or just to feel good that you are speaking sense I believe in already
Oh my 😭😭😭 crying. Thank you for your work, Teal ❤️
It's not an easy task, drilling down. Slowly peeling away the layers, thanks for you, Teal. You help me see the union of Durga and Kali in gentle harmony. A desire to emulate that, is one of my many desires. As a mother, lover, sister. My life is full of an unbalance of masculine. I have to be that masculine more than I like. I've been searching a long time inside to find balance between strong and gentle. I want to be a mother who makes my children feel encouraged not scared. Steps forward, Ah-Ho. Happy Day! Namaste'
Ok so desires will never end, and it will lead to expansion, which is a good thing- A very unfamiliar concept, but trying to digest it
