I was actually on the verge of a panic attack just 20 minutes ago, because something in my past hit me like a freight train tonight and I started to hyperventilate. I immediately opened my laptop and typed in Headspace and clicked this, closed my eyes, listened and focused on your words, and I was okay. *Thank You Andy!!! 🤟*

I’ve done some horrible things, but I want to change. I’ve found god, and thankfully I’ve found this video so I don’t have panic attacks constantly. Thank you. Like genuinely I love you.

Very much enjoying this series. They should let you out of the cave more often.

It's very difficult to get past the regret once you realise the thing you did was under your control and that you could have easily avoided that. It hurts to realise the goodness in others after we've lost them. And since I lost someone because of a decision I took based on how my mind perceived things at the time, the guilt and regret eats me up today. It gets difficult to not think you are a bad person when you did something like this knowingly.

That's true, I smiled as you unfolded it. I tend to say to myself: "Manuel, you did what you did, you experienced the way you experienced because that was the person you were, that was the best thing to do for yourself as the person you were at that time. Whishing to have done differently means to do not accept we have to live in the present." A second ago I was a person, a second after another one. We are a continuum of change. A constant fluid of present.

This needs more veiws cause of the quality and how much it can help people.

23 years on. My husband took his life because of my actions. Thank you for this x

Very true that you never forget, it will always be there. It's about learning from your mistakes and becoming a better person. Live in the present moment and let go of the past.

"Anyway" The word "Anyway", is the pathway, to master guilt. Use it as a bridge, to become what you want to overcome. Because when you become, what you want to overcome, you overcome what you want to become. "Anyway" begins as being consciously unconscious and being unconsciously conscious. The simple, hard truth is that it's often difficult to integrate, when you have to carry the heavy burden of it. That's why it's good to go slowly with it. How to slowly go into cold water. You can even expand your comfort zone. Enter suffering willingly. If you willingly enter into suffering, you purify yourself of it. Because only if you can face the suffering, you can change it. The courage to be strong is the shield against the manipulative fears that attack you. Nevertheless, being strong and not letting yourself be manipulated, is the courage to be strong. A sacrifice for love, is a sacrifice worth dying for. We don't have to undo the things we do wrong or have done wrong in life. We die for it and thus sacrifice ourselves for love. Die for your negative qualities and live for your positive qualities. This is the sacrifice and salvation of the human spirit. Positive and negative imprints in the early days largely determine who we are. Some are positive and some are negative. However, the negative imprints can be overwritten. And how something begins only determines one's own end, the old experience and not the next new beginning of the new experience. We find new ways to leave old ways. This is how we find salvation. The guilt we feel is the one that enslaves us. Only when we also remember our innocence, are we free at the same time. I'm Sorry For many years I carried a deep sense of guilt with me. Which has shifted again and again, as soon as I apologized for something to a person. I carried the guilt with me and tortured myself for many years. Until I realized that the only one I really had to apologize to, was myself. I have tortured myself, the most. So every day I apologize to myself for what I've done to myself. This is how I find my innocence; that I once lost, again. And by apologizing to myself, I release my feelings of guilt. And so I don't do anything to others either. Because I am at peace with myself and therefore with the world. Therefore, apologize to yourself if you feel guilty about yourself. Because you can't torture yourself and apologize to yourself at the same time. Tormenting inflicts sorrow. And apologizing takes away sorrow. Master the guilt and regret by becoming one with it in a way that all resistance to it is accepted and integrated. Because guilt and regret are qualities of a good heart. To finally be free, apologize to yourself and so integrate the guilt and regret. The solution to every problem is the problem itself. It came into existence and it will not leave you. However, the point of view changes, from a different perspective. This is how problems, become solutions. No bad deed will ever be forgotten by the conscience. Treasure those bad deeds. They remind you, that you have not forsaken your humanity. The patterns within us lead us like marionettes, on threads. Patterns are stuck resistances that can bring you a lot of suffering. Because if we fight them, we fight ourselves. The way out of the pattern, is therefore not possible, as a marionette in resistance. We can only become one with the patterns and resistances as a marionette and thus pull ourselves, by the strings. Because in order to overcome something, you have to become one with it. It is the shift from the receiver within, to the creator within. Therefore I am not afraid. I am fear. I'm not in the dark, I am the dark. I don't project evil. I am evil. I am not suffering. I am the suffering. I don't feel guilty. I am guilt. This is the way of overcoming. Become it, overcome it. At the same time, the patterns still exist. We have evil in us, that accuses the other evil in us. Evil accuses the other evil, as evil. And evil, that evil, accused of being evil, does not itself believe to be evil? Isn't the evil that accuses other evils of being evil, not evil in itself? If you really seek good, you will not find it in condemnation. When you realize that the condemned in you, is also the judge, then you can choose to drop the judgement. The important thing is to look within yourself, for if you had the intention to harm someone, before you start blaming yourself, for creating something, that was not even in your control. And you will see that there is nothing to regret. Because the intention counts. To get out of something, you have to go in. This is how you free yourself and at the same time, consciously, keep yourself captive. Because the paradoxical opposites, carry the respective opposites within themselves. This is the way out and the way in. Pain is strength in disguise waiting, to be revealed. The reaction determines the content. Whether something is good or bad is ultimately decided in your own mind. It doesn't live in anything or anywhere, but in your own mind's response to something. When you shift your perception of something in a more lovable way, even the worst on earth can become the best on earth.

I have been walking the Camino de Santiago to help with my grief, now I just love the journey, country and fellowship of the other pilgrims.

Wow. I felt some tears (dunno if it was happiness or sadness or both) during this. I’m a few days away from finishing the Sadness Pack after a break up and between that and hearing this idea that I couldn’t have done something different or I would have is so powerful. It’s hard to actually internalize and lord knows my mind certainly wants to return to the pattern of blaming myself and regretting things I said or didn’t say. But kinda intellectually knowing that I did my best, and using that thought in addition to meditation and practicing a gentle, patient kind of mindfulness has finally helped me get out of that cycle of guilt. It’s like I have an out now and the feeling of not being stuck in self hate is nothing short of amazing.

I’m glad I can finally put a face to the voice, now. Love this guy, man.

I love you Andy!!! Thanks for your impact on the world.

Goodness! Your voice is therapeutic.

Thank you for making this video, Andy. I've watched this over and over again over all these years. It's been so healing. I'm grateful to you for sharing this 🥹💖

3 yrs Late but I finally get to see the face behind the voice that I kept listening to, in the Netflix Headspace series while tryna sleep…..Thank you so much Andy for sharing topics that hit so close to home. More people need to use Headspace.

the thing on expectation being actually in the past is beautifully said .. 😊😊

Beautiful! Thanks so much ❤️

Wonderful. As always, so insightful, kind and helpful. Thank you so much.

Thanks. That helped. You explained in a very natural way.

I feel better tonight after listening to this, so thank you.

What a wonderful video. Thank you, Andy. Thank you, Headspace.

Thank you Andy. I have been listening to you for five years now. Being kind to yourself and (therefore) to others and letting go: those ideas are starting to sink in. The way I understand it with my heart is: it is a practice and not a solution. Very liberating. Thank you so much.

Thank you for posting

Thankyou so much for the advice!

Always appreciate your words. I need this so badly right now. I've been hurting so deeply about a decision that I made that I can't take back and I can't make amends for. Been driving myself crazy with the "what if"s that I'll never know. Having the knowledge that I'll never know is so difficult to bear, but your words are truly helpful and I'll take them with me. Thank you.

This is gold thank you 😌 Watched a number of vids on the topic and this is really helping

Outstanding. Thank you.

I love him!!!! He really helped my meditation practice!

Thank you, I was ready to hear and understand. Thank you 🙏

Andy voice is ❤

Thank you Andy. You are adding immeasurably to my enjoyment of life.

I beat myself up all the time. So I'm going to try to see it, like you do. Thanks

When you know better, you do better I learned Zen meditation during the 1 year I spent in prison I realize now that I was in the best place I could have been or I would have continued my way of thinking now So I'm truly thankful that I was there or I would have never even found out about Meditation

Thank you so much for this amazing series! It's like therapy for me and I'm trying to take as much as possible from it!🤗

Thank you Andy for share your beautiful soul ❤️🙏

Andy, I gotta admit its weird seeing the person behind the voice that's helped me get through some tough times. Glad they let you out after 7 years! Keep up the awesome work!

Once again, THANK YOU, ANDY. It's always reassuring listening to you, but seeing you too in those amazing places makes it far greater. Thank you all guys, behind the cameras too. Greetings from Mexico 🌺

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't say it enough for this video. I love all of your work but this one really helped me God bless you & yours

andy thank you

Thank you Andy you've always had a positive impact on me and each time I hear your voice I instantly relax.

You may have just changed my life. Thanks Andy and the Crew.

Thankyou Andy. I needed to hear that. So badly

Wow! This video is epiphanic. It’s just what I need at the moment. Thanks, Andy!

Thanks so much 🟠 I listen to you every night to help me sleep and it always works so thank you so much

Thank you so much Andy! You’ve been an inspiration to my life and I wish you and your family all the best and I hope you continue to help everyone and share your experiences. Hello from Canada! I keep looking forward to videos like this :)

He is good. Helpful. Wise and humble. Nice.

Thank you, Andy.

Thank you! This was very very helpful! Again, many thanks!

Guilt and shame over past things is lethal in shaping how a persons life turns out, it’s truly a massive contributor towards depression.

Thank you.

I appreciate these seeds of wisdom from Andy! Thank you Headspace for making this happen!

He’s just great isn’t he 👍🏻 thanks Andy once again

Well done son my friend again great thanks

This felt very organic. Thank you, Headspace.

Thank you. 🙏 Life brought me here because during a psychology lecture, I wanted to tell some one a fun fact but they started to talk about trauma and stuff. I did not know how to react and anyways, we said some things, she made a complaint about me and I was SO hard on myself even after I tried to apologise several times over Email. Thankfully, I found this video shortly after.

I’m crying tears rn. I’m working through guilt from childhood up until now. It’s been a journey. Recently, I had a trigger that made some dark feelings resurface. This video was a blessing for me to come across. Thank you

When he said so many people are caught in that cycle for so long I felt that

Simple let go 🟠 thank you

This is amazing. Thank you so much.

No guilt. Don't judge others nor hold grudges. Practice abundant forgiveness (others and self)! One thing: be vigilant against toxic shame. Be free. :) Love longer talk from Andy, better than 30 seconds before a meditation (where I do actually picture him recording from a dark studio. So this is a relief to see and hear tbh Andy roaming free in the wild lol :). Ty!

Wow very powerful. I will take this on board and work with it. Thank you!

Thank you

Yes ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE TO LET IT ALL GO...ITS BEAUTIFUL..ITS AMAZING...🕉

Thank you Angy ♡♡

This is so important. Forgiveness ourselves.

Thank you Andy !

Wow, super job. Much gratitude! I’d love to see people, (normal people) not celebs, who have these questions doing these small journeys with you. A first hand experience by those who use Headspace, walking through nature, meditating with them and answering their questions and sharing a life changing journey.

15:33 🙏This was very profound for me & I can say that it is 1 of the most important tools/ways that I personally use to "let go" and leave those certain regrets & guilts where they are *AND WHERE THEY BELONG, which is IN THE PAST* ✌️😁Thank you HeadSpace & most of all 🙏 *Thank you Andy* 🙏

Regret and guilt to me are totally understandable. And we probably should feel it, might even deserve it. but if you stay in it you can't make progress or movement forward. If you just sit there thinking "God I'm a pos" even if rightly so even if you deserve to feel that way you can't function moving forward. Also I believe the best way to atone is to do better moving forward. Like to be better. To be stronger. And carrying around 3000 pounds of guilt that's just not possible.

I fell asleep listening to this. Your voice is so soothing 😌

Guilt lives in my head rent free nearly 24/7 and I wish I could evict it ... agree with the other comments you in the wild is a wonderful experience!

Love this! Thank you!!!

I really needed this during lockdown.

*_the way you talk, soothing.. calmly._*

"Learning from a journey, not giving myself a hard time." ❤

His voice is so sooting ♥️

Thanks, Andy. This is insightful.

I love listening to Andy - love his accent! I feel like i'm watching "notting hill" with hugh grant only so much better :)

Wauw. Amazing Andy. Thanks. ❤

Thank You. Namaste 🤘🤙❤🤓

Thanks headscaper i did soemthing really regretful in florida a month ago and this video here helped me out a lot and please see my comment

Life lessons is looking back at what I was. The guilt helped guide me to learn from those things that I was guilty of. And keeps me watching every new step that would be right choices and grow into a much better person committed to never making myself feel those times again that caused me so much painful. guilt.

I really needed this. Thank you so much. I was thinking about something all the time. Now I did watch this video. Now I did find peace. Now I can move on. I don't have what I wanted. But I am closer to my goals than I was yesterday.

Wow. Thank you so so much.

Thank you for this! :)

very calm thank you!

Your voice is amazing 👍

Thank you Andy. This was dope

I'm Sorry For many years, I carried a deep sense of guilt with me. Which kept shifted, as soon as I apologized to a person for something. I carried the guilt with me and tortured myself for many years. Until I realized, the only person I really needed to apologize to, was myself. I have tortured myself the most. So every day, I apologize to myself, for what I did to myself. This is how I find my innocence; that I once lost, again. And by apologizing to myself, I release my guilt. And so I don't do anything to others either. Because I am at peace with myself and therefore, with the world. Therefore, if you carry guilt with you, apologize to yourself. Because you can't torture yourself and apologize to yourself at the same time. Tormenting inflicts sorrow and apologizing takes away sorrow.

Andy ¿when are you coming back to this videos? I miss you. I love to hear you during meditation but I enjoy to feel you closer like this.

As always ...this has come at the right time ...for me ! Thanks x
