How To Stop Thinking (How to Stop Thought) - Teal Swan -
Рет қаралды 179,815
7 жыл бұрынHow do I stop thinking or stop thought all together? Are you over thinking about negative things or about someone too much? Stopping thought relates to quieting the mind and focusing on a specific subject.
When we are thinking, we are not present with all of ourselves. We are not present with our bodies. We are not present with the way we feel. We are not present in the world. We are not present with other people. We are only present with the unfolding of thoughts and wherever our attention to those thoughts take us, regardless of whether that place is positive or painful.

Teal... you literally cured my debilitating OCD I’ve lived with for years in 11 minutes through a video lmao. THIS is ALL I was looking to be told by any damn medical professional, but nope! You’re changing the game, they all need to be trained under you or at least learn from you..... WHY didn’t I find this earlier!!!! Damn! Well, maybe I wouldn’t have been ready to receive the message and would be resistant towards it had I come across this earlier. I’m now very open to it and started applying it INSTANTLY! THANK YOU, BLESS YOUR HEART INFINITELY! I’ve taken what’s always been mine back.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤍💗💓💗🤍♾🥺😭😭😭🤧🤧🤧

@Michael-gb3cj 4 жыл бұрын
My understanding is this: The soul is your ethereal, 'higher' self. Your soul initiates thought/intent, which is interpreted by the brain and translated into 'emotion', which causes physical sensations in the body.

@lilithjesus7718 3 жыл бұрын
that is understandable 😊. I think of: emotions: something felt thoughts: words/ images seen/heard soul/inner voice: pineal gland If tuning into & differentiating between these is your desire, I'm not sure if this helps , but for me I have found help from doing Brian Scott's chakra meditations. Start with the root chakra. Most white Americans tend to not have their root chakra activated. Much love 🧡, Holly Marie

The thing is because there are different levels for a lack of a better word with different truths so on one level emotions and thoughts and your inner voice are the same while on a different level they are different and in another they don’t even exist
@thexpax 3 жыл бұрын
Thoughts originate in your brain. Feelings are felt emotionally. The inner/soul voice comes up like an unthought thought.
@EastFame 7 жыл бұрын
this very much sounds like a technique against OCD. However I would like to hear Teal analyze this topic in more detail. OCD thoughts are not simple thoughts, they bear this message of danger, urgency and life or death importance along the basic information in the thought. Thus the OCD thought is sitting in the background even if the attention is focused somewhere else.

@@sanny-nk9re well everyone has disturbing thoughts, but not everyone obsesses about them or performs compulsions to get rid of the anxiety. I have OCD too and my therapist showed me a funny cartoon about two different streams of consciousness. Person A (no OCD): That guy has a nice sweater. I could pick up this knife and stab him, and then his blood would get all over it and ruin it. Just like I spilled coffee all over my favorite shirt last week. I wonder if they still have that shirt in stock. I'll invite Sharon to go shopping with me next week and see if I can find it. She has been doing so well at her job, but I am worried about her marriage.... Person B (OCD): That guy has a nice sweater. I could pick up this knife and stab him, and then his blood would get all over it and ruin it. Oh my god, what is wrong with me?? Why would I think something like that? Can he tell that I am thinking this? I need to get away from the knife, or he could be in danger. Knives are dangerous and should be avoided. Don't look at the knife. Don't look at his sweater...

Yes, I've been wanting Teal to talk about OCD for years now. I really want to hear her perspective on it. Maybe one day. For now I will try this technique but I would like to know why some people have OCD and to go a bit deeper into how it can be healed

SYNCHRONOCITY at it's finest.... This was extremely on point. I've been slacking off "spiritually" these past 2 weeks. Not working that much on myself, not meditating not going out in nature etc etc... I would think about it then it would pass. today I started having a bit of anxiety so I decided to meditate, it felt good, however, 5-10 mins after the meditation i started having some more anxiety and I fell directly on this video. It feels good of actually seeing the thoughts for what they are instead of "experiencing" them. Thank you Teal for all the help ! Another ace up our sleeves ! Have a good one !

THANK YOU for offering techniques for visual and auditory "thoughts". I have not often heard this addressed by mindfulness teachers. It's a level of thinking that really started to emerge for me when the layer of wordy thought becomes quieted. Now that I am aware of this form of thinking within me, it can become overwhelming, sometimes shockingly detailed. I love the idea of crumpling up a picture or filing away a photo. Sometimes those vision from my inner being and are worth watching and understanding, but allowing them to hijack my attention and investment for too long gives my power to focus and integrate away. I forget that it is a vision of my own creative spirit, not an external spirit haunting me that I must bow down to.

This video came up just in time. I am currently staying with my family until the end of summer and dang it's tough! Every day when I am at home with them I get so drained because they don't understand and respect my boundaries ( I need space and my alone time to self reflect), we get into fights every week. I start to think negatively whenever I am around them, probably because I am still angry with them. I am draining myself by overthinking way too much these days, I start to have white hair ( I am only in my 20s! :o ). I am really grateful that you made this video. I will have to watch and practice what you said a few more times before I can get the hang of it. Thanks Teal!! Sending you and your crew love from HK

You might want to do some emotional body clearing as well, esp. when it comes to family ties -- I think this You-tuber has a video on that as well. Emotions are far more powerful than mere thoughts, because of the momentum of consciousness that they pose as extremely magnetic imprints that can go deep, which will bombard you with like thoughts to incessantly have to deal with.
