How to Release Heaviness From Your Life

Рет қаралды 18,611

Күн бұрын

In this video, we talk about how to release heaviness from our lives. I share about a time in the monastery where I was attached to one specific way of doing things and then learning how to be adaptable with those tools. Life is challenging, hence it require us to be adaptable. So this video is a gentle reminder to build out your toolkit and use the tools that is most appropriate for that moment. I hope this is helpful. #monks #buddhism #mentalhealth

Just what i need in my life at this time... am struggling with finding my place and purpose in work, relationships, life in general. The heaviness is just as you describe. What is helping is caring for my animals, making my residence a home that nurtures me, and putting aside the family drama and emotional draining. At work I go for a short walk, noticing the nature around me, breathing the fresh air, listening to the birds. Thank you so much for suggesting a few more tools to put in my toolbox. Thank you so much for your videos and your kindness and compassion for those of us who are strugging. Blessing Sara

Thanks for your lovely videos. My wife and I have been reading, listening and watching a lot about Buddhism recently and visit the temples in thailand every year and our monastery here in Portugal regularly. There is so much we can relate to. There is really only one part that we find very difficult; which is the reincarnation or emptiness after death part. My wife and I have, and always have had an incredibly strong feeling that our souls will be connected somehow forever, even after eternity. Some spiritual experiences we have shared has only strengthened this belief. I find it very difficult to completely open up to Buddhism when the ultimate goal is to depart from eachother into a state of emptiness or reincarnation, at which point we would be separated. I guess this could be described as a state of suffering or attachment we have for each-other. But our connection never feels bad, only good. It’s one impermanence I we can’t, don’t want to accept or actively support. Is there any place in Buddhism for a belief that souls could be connected indefinitely? Maybe we have misunderstood the emptiness, reincarnation part. Thank you from both of us 🙏

So no one wants to be with ME 😭 . And I am already so long alone and need some one who is kind to me, understands me with all my fears ect. Do you understand what I mean? So i must do as if nothing is wrong with me in order to have someone who wants to be with me. 😢

In physics, a Lorentz factor of 1 (LF=1/square root of (1-(velocity squared/speed of light squared))) means absence of motion or our own frame of reference. By focusing on unity (or absence of motion: same thing) you are actually slowing down everything about yourself. Thought requires motion in mind. Bring it back to unity, not the number but the concept. I have to admit, I'm not much of a meditator but I do bring unity in my life whenever I think of it. In my own eightfold way, it's part of right concentration.

I have been meditating for over 51 years with a mantra that was given to me by a teacher who practices transcendental meditation. In the beginning it seemed difficult but slowly it became easier to meditate and I found it easier for me to sit and meditate more frequently. I feel that meditation is the best method to release stress and anxiety. Come back to yourself ❤and definitely take care of yourself 🥰🙏✨🪷🧘🌻

If you need instructions on "doing nothing" and doing it well, let me know. I do it as often as I can. Thich Nhat Hanh puts it this way, "too many of us have the attitude of don't just sit there, do something, but what might be more beneficial is don't do something, sit there."😊

Hey nick it's so good to see you're back you have been missed I loved the part about journaling, I write things down in my diary but I also have a big writeing pad where i write things that run around in my head when i have had a negative experience or an argument I will write down what is weighing on my mind or the things I wanted to say but didn't get to express I will read it back then rip it out and throw it away or put it in a trash can and burn it so it can flow away into the atmosphere then I meditate and do deep breathing I know this sounds alot but this method works for me, because if I hold onto it I find it raises my blood pressure and then I feel very ill and can't function. But thank you for all your advice and help it's always reassuring sending you greetings, love and peace from London England ♥️ 🙏🏾

Dear Nick, thank you for another precious and very helpful video 🙏 There is something that I use as a tool in times of huge emotional stress and anxiety: I do some logical training or mathematics! I once read somewhere that it was found out that these trainings (and also logical games like playing tetris) take part in that „rational“ half of our brains and seem to temporarily „cut off“ the other half which is responsible for emotional thinking. I‘m not an expert to explain this, but I hope y‘all know what I‘m trying to say. And it actually works out for me and gives me a great chance to find some kind of „emergency relief“ when I‘m feeling overwhelmed. Maybe this can be a helpful advice for somebody out there reading this 🤗💛 Lots of love and best regards from Germany

I also have a mental cabinet with three drawers and place things in it as they apply to a specific drawer. Drawer one is called, "I can't do anything about that." Drawer two is called, "Ultimately, that has nothing to do with me." Drawer three is called, "Carry not what is not yours to carry." If we have acquired enough wisdom, we know exactly when to put something in those drawers. If we have not acquired such wisdom, we suffer more.

Thank you Venerable Nick .... it helped me to hear your teaching today. I've been finding it helpful to breathe into the painful, heavy feeling in my heart centre, and imagine it as warm and bright. It seems to soften the contraction. Over and over again. 😊🙏
