This young man is SO refreshing. So much of the New Age teaching creates anxiety in the individual as to whether one has "transcended"....or not...rather than simply accepting that as "Love", we are in need of nothing when it comes to being something "more" than who we truly already are. Thank you Jeff Foster

So many spiritual teachers label everything concerning our human nature as "negative", as well as "not true, not real, illusory"... basically your being mad, angry, jelous, as well as euphoric or in love is labeled as NEGATIVE emotions, whereas only what concerns the Soul, our Real Self, can be called TRUE and POSITIVE. This is extremely sad and descouraging. If this is so, you can't help but refuse your human nature and living in a constant state of repression, denial and frustration for everything you feel, think and do. Also, you fall into the lie that only Awakening, Enlightment will give you a Real, Positive and worth-living existence, so you refuse your existence as it is even more and just keep feeding your frustration and denial of your life. And the worst part is that it is really hard to get free from this kind of conditionings, because people often feel lost and put all their trust into these spiritual teachers that they consider a guidance, an authority.

Yes, the FLAW of attraction has done a lot of damage causing spiritual by pass or self blame for not feeling happy & positive all the time.

I always feel better listening to you speak because I get to see the resistance I was in toward my experience that I wasn’t aware of. I like to gently hold my body with my hands, while breathing into my sensations without an agenda of trying to do anything about them. There’s a spaciousness that arises from within. I come out of a thinking experience and enter into a FEELING experience. When my mind is loud, deep slow breathing with my hands on my center brings me into my body sensations. Naturally, I start to feel a caring energy for myself.

"the mind is always looking for an enemy" so true

I’ve always known this yet I never trusted it for my self. Thank you for echoing my conscience who I ignored for 43 years.

Thank you truly Jeff, this video made me cry. A few years ago I watched your video about acceptance and realized that I'd been actually resisting, thinking I was doing my spiritual practice. And today I realize that I don't need to let go of(secretly trying to get rid of) my uncomfortable sensations. They are allowed already and true love, the open space has never ever left. Home is already here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul !

Dude thank you so much- i don't know if you even read these but after years of searching your message has finally halted that inner incessant desire to be/do/become "more" i don't need to read those 74 books in my queue to "get it" - i don't even know how to correctly articulate this - I've just found peace - even if just for this moment - it's a peace that's eluded me for years - thanks man.

Finally someone told it as it truly is!I cant even talk to most of my "spuritual"friends about true feelings,even more if they are "low"..they dont want to be around someone with sad feelings cos maybe they will get affected by them😛..if "theyre"so enlighten why run away from them😇much love💞

So glad you did a video on this Jeff. Long time in waiting because as you know the spiritual world is loaded w/this good/bad paradigm.

Very grateful to you for presenting this in such an accessible way friend Jeff. I work with many broken souls suffering from addiction who are stuck in self-imposed guilt and shame of the past and fear of the future. I do my best to present to them that feelings are something we have and not who we are - that attachment is the cause of our suffering. The analogy of ocean waves is one that presented to me along the way but even that seems somewhat finite. The analogy of thoughts and feelings as clouds isn't new to me either, however, experiencing ourselves as the sky into which the clouds exist never occurred to me and I feel it much more accurately describes the vastness of Self. Thank you for this gem and be assured that it will serve to comfort many souls. God Bless.

This is quite possibly the most beautiful, elegant way to describe this awareness. Thank you for another great video.

so simple. thankyou Jeff. as a spiritual seeker for the past 20 years and still feeling stuck... I'm now... from this moment.. starting over again fresh and new. xo

Dear Jeff. Thank you for this video. The essence came at the end. "It doesn't mean that there is something wrong with you". Unluckily I grew up with a Dad that always blamed everyone else for his feelings. He also doomed everybody wrong whenever you thought or felt differently to him. So I became really good at hiding feelings, burying dreams and so on. This all lead to a major breakdown. I can no longer run from whats going on inside be just to please my Dad. But it's work, cause that feeling of "Something is wrong with Me" tends to be everywhere and often times goes unnoticed. Takes a lot of patience to dig through alll of it, a lot of understanding and a lot of just sitting and being with the whole chaos :-). Thank you for your words cuz not many people seem to be able to understand this. It's like the whole world is running from themselves.

I find your teachings so freeing - I can feel more freedom as I listen to you - thank you :)

All my spiritual seeking put me back there where I started. Funny..,

Thank you for sharing your perspective. Feels good in the body

I can attest to this from personal experience, from both sides of the imaginary fence. I woke up only to be dragged back by my ego six months later. The intense anxiety i experienced became intense excitement and joy when i woke up. The sensation was identical, but my perception of it being pain had gone. Unfortunately this switched back literally overnight. Life became a living hell.

Relieved .I've been struggling with LOA concept and blaming myself for..well everything. Shaming seems to be prevalent in society, education and religion.i just want to say fuck it.I don't care.. I've battled long enough trying to be other than what's here.Ive felt a while now that positive and negative labels are different words for good and bad. Thank you.

Yes. Absolutely true. These "feelings" are valid. They are speaking to us of some truth or another.

Dear Jeff, Thank you.Thank you.Thank you. I feel like I can breathe again. A weight lifted off my shoulders. Thank you.❤

I keep coming back to these teachings jeff and they are so.. incredibly powerful :) Thank you for all your work

What about sub-conscious things? For example, I recently had reflexology that caused something called a ‘healing crisis’... my body was purging itself and clearing itself of both physical and mental toxins stored that I had absolutely no idea about... these things had a negative label and stance automatically, according to my body/being without my mind labelling or being involved in any way, and unconsciously in a process of transmutation from the ‘bad’ to the ‘good’. So, as much as lies in the self-wills ability, we should aim for the obviously good. But we also shouldn’t judge or self-victimise the experience of the bad if it arises in our circumstance but learn and grow (which is mostly the reason for earth life experience). For we’re here in this experience of duality to experience this particular dualistic experience. Non-judgement is wonderful but I’ll always strive to bring heaven to earth if possible and destined.

prayer as I watch this video: - to awaken more deeply - to be continuously given insights and downloads that help and assist me - to unite and be with my twin-flame/soul-mate/true-love - to successfully thrive off my passions and talents - for a tribe of real friends - to be permanently healed on every level and in every way...

Ha-ha! You are healing me! So liberating. Thank you. And thank you for not having the guru attitude.

Epic video Jeff. Please continue sharing your essence through videos!

"ALL feelings are valid" at 14:07

Tidings of Comfort & Joy...this is the Good News ! Thanks, Jeff!

I let myself feel all feelings but I noticed if I don't bring love and light to my heart and body in meditation I feel heavy all the time. Love and light lifts me high. Now I am just thinking my crist mind and let my feelings and thoughts just come and go. Only observing them so they don't create feelings so much. Maybe my course of miracles studies show true but I really try to undertand Jeff teachings cause I love them.

Very positive message! Thank you... spot on! You really explain things in a way I've never heard before. It definitely helped me to mellow out. I love how you broke down meditation into being something courageous. It is bravery to take on one's mind and what I try to hide from myself, which is why I get tired as opposed to looking deeper within... what am I so afraid of? Raw sensation in the body!!!! Lovely... true freedom is not a destination, it's our true nature! I just love this! AmaZzzing...

This resonates so deeply. Thank you Jeff

Thank you Jeff, wonderful words as always. A happy Christmas to you

True ,all is true,the mind comes in the way

Thank you so much for your output. Truly grateful

I’ve been where you have been and thank you for letting me know that I am not alone 🌺

Thank you Jeff I love you unconditionally

Love you Jeff. True words coming from you❤❤ It is saving me

A truly inspirational video.

Jeff thank you so much you are great!!!

Thank you for sharing

Great greater one of the Greatest perspective... . That was actually very very inclusive way of thinking.. the most inclusive one I've ever heard 🔥🔥

This is the first time hearing "you"... no words...just keep saying YES!

so much enlightment TY

Great stuff. Thanks!

Nothing to worry about regarding frequencies of energy. We are all being guided and activated in relationship to our own level of readiness to what we can and want to learn. Sometimes its good to vibe low, sometimes its good to vibe high. Its all perfect.

Yes but the sensation comes from the thinking about things no matter whether we label it as negative or positive. There is also some empirical evidence that negative energy is a 'slower' vibration.

Thank you very much Jeff

Thank you Jeff!!

Beautiful 🙏🏽

Beautiful ❤️. Thank you

Thank you so much for this ❤️❤️

Thank you for this video...it has touched me. 🌺❤️🦋

Oh God this is so liberating Oh Boy I wish I'd known this 25 years ago as,I've taken on board a whole bunch of stuff that took me on a journey and often going around in circles Likewise myself and others sincerely looking and dedicating ourselves to our specific paths.The more I listen to this man the more I see and perceive more freedom and liberation. Yes the mind is very powerful and can often lead us on a merry dance.But truly Being..now that's another level

Exactly my Dear Jeff

Love you Jeff! This is so freeing! Haha, even hilarious!

Excellent. Simple Truth

Thanks GOD for this guy!!! Thank you Jeff

Fear hate sadness happiness are the basis of all human emotions anything outside of that is something outside of ourselves. But you know what i want to be an amateur and connect to my body because i am so disconnected. No more psychiatry for me! Yassss...i struggle. God do i struggle.

You're so wise n intelligent... Cool job dude.. really love your wisdom.. u liberate me

The problem with us that we are always in the resistance mood, we are always judging, rejecting and denying these feelings when actually like you said, allow and accept 100% the feeling without judgment then we will experienced huge vastness inside us capable of holding any feeling.

Hello Jeff, the point is that emotions create sensational waves that awareness experiences. It could be your own emotion or someone else's. Until sensational-awareness is strong to identify how and why it senses, ( not by the mind, but just knowing) nothing else is left but to surrender, this is not the way. Stronger awareness grows that is evolutionary, harmonizes emotion with sensation and experience peace of sensation that is love of enlightenment. In other words, power of awareness pacifies waves by holding active force of emotion and experiences true love, but weaker sensational-awareness is wilder waves, they do not move by themselves.

I just absolutely LOVE this. There is nothing more true. And the new age theories like loa frustrates me because if you feel realy deeply for yourself, you just cant get around the fact that its not true. These are my thoughts. Could not've said it better!!!! The only thing i still also Wanted to mention or ask...if you' ve had a painfull past...(wich is very difficult not to label because it is painfull, you feel it without words) it is true that these raw energies are telling you something about yourself....they teach you something. However trying to find out what, will not help you....only trough being it is that god speaks, or the i am or the universe, and thing fall into place. But thats very very hard when youre suffering from a deep and intens anxiety and ocd disorder. ( i know ....labels again) but just so you understand what im talking about. Wondering how you see this jeff? Thanks again 🙏🌺 love your energie.

Nailed 'it' Geoff.

Thank you

Cool Video....The real meaning of being cool

Thank you Jeff, it's hard for me not to see you as a very important perssone in my life. a master ? Paradox :-)

Love this

So true!

Are there some audio podcasts of Jeff anyone know of?Id like to hear him while Riding to work..Alan Watts has been a blessing too.

it's amazing how we still impute the brain as being the maker of the human experience. the brain it's just an organ with some electromagnetic activity. you tell me where are the images or sound..!! Amazing ..SOMETHING else is doing it all through the brain..it 's been always under your nose ..what you are..WOW ..and so intimate..

An interesting point of view

I totally agree with you Jeff. What a wonderfully fresh way to look at our emotions. Making anything into an enemy paradoxically strengthens it!

How do you “know” energy comes into the body? How do you know it comes first before the mind?

It is not a myth, there are a natural hierarchy of frequencied. However, Jeff have a good point. Taken to far, tho.

Its hard when your anger/temper has taken you to scary places

A feeling is ENERGY

Thank you Jeff, i love what i heard from your video. But before the mind label sensations, is there an awareness of it ? I mean, for example, if i'm in the midst of a car accident, there is an intelligence other than the mind, (the mind is completely shut) and there is something else who will guide me between through the bad and the good of this fatal situation, preventing me of any harmful decisions. If i feel sadness in myself, without labeling it, i can't talk about happiness while living it. So without labeling good or bad, high or low, there is sensations who are anything except being comfortable to live for example ?

I understand what Jeff is saying here but aren’t the emotions/raw energy that appear in our bodies due to what the mind is telling us about a certain person/situation? Yes it’s ok to feel anxiety but isn’t it only there due to what we’re ‘thinking’ about a certain situation?? Would love to hear any thoughts on this 🙏

as always on the point

Thank you for this so beautiful totally resonating with this. Yes accept everything but what about when cortisol levels are high or when the adrenaline is pumping? Our body is telling us something & surely it's not a way to live running around in that state like most people are currently living..I would love to hear your view on this thank you.

Why can't I meet a man like you, Jeff (in real life)!? Thanks for your amazing help.

THANK YOU ME

Being manipulated is negative. Therefore that is a negative feeling that is imposed by someone else, just as being degraded or belittled is. While positivity can be found in knowing that someone is showing their true colors, that change life in ways where evolution and groth are perceived along a planned timeline of progression. This causes the circumstance of abandonment on many levels leaving efforts and feelings of trust to be placed as harmful pressures that create auctions within the body and world of those being manipulated and degraded. This affects the conscious mind in a negative way that promotes an unwanted and forced feeling of change for life and Circumstance. While these are feelings none the less, they do exist in a negative form because of the pain and toxin that is created. While this does not have to apply to the circumstance of 'forever', it places the pressure of Burden on the one that is on the receiving end of the manipulation degradation and essentially lie. That's like acid rain. Hail would be different. This changes the course of expectation based on weakness and failure of commitment by another. Whether that commitment is spoken or agreed-upon, does not matter once a perception is shared and Enlightenment is found through it initially. So there is an unnatural dysfunction that occurs naturally for one party and causes the toxin in the other party. Not everybody is into masochism, sorry.

All thought is just abstracts. Stories. The idea of God, a world, life, humanity, love, hate, good, evil, others, society. Raw sensation is an organic feeling. Children have it.

Thank you, Jeff. Beautifully put :-)

Its wierd that when i feel some sensation in my body i feel like i have to label it as tension or something else /i suppose really its just energy till we put a name to it .great vid thanks

Bless him....so helpful compared to the New Age nonsense of avoiding LOW-FREQUENCY emotions...so much ignorance sold for wisdom.

"Raw sensations" at 6:47 "All feelings are valid" 14:08

Thank you. Much needed

We label and identify with not only "low vibrational" feels, but also feelings of contractions and expansions. Struggling with contraction only reinforces and maintains the feeling of contraction - which would normally pass quickly. Identifying with it - i.e. it is me that is contracted - then reinforces another fiction - a “me”. Then struggling with it maintains a “me” who struggles. And around and around it goes. www.engagednonduality.com/i-struggle-with-feeling-contracted-wonder-if-there-is-something-there-to-unravel/

Francis Bennett talks like this "there is place in your heart already allowing that what is. Go and find that place in you." I've found that advice very effective.

AT LAST!!! I am so sick of people promoting concepts that just end up making people feel worse

Jeff I can't help but try and think about how your teachings can be psychologically explained. While I know that it need not be done for the sake of life, but I feel it gives more context and the mind something to chew on. As far as I can articulate, it seems that yours teachings are permission giving. That is, your messages give the mind permission to feel as it feels and see as it sees, reducing the associated judgement with that moment of feeling or seeing. This seems to be a subconscious 'transformation' or neurological change. I realise the articulation is not needed for the 'shift' but I like trying to mesh modern psychological/neuroscience explanations with 'spiritual' ones. I see a lot of misunderstandings between them where I think it could be articulated much better . Would love your take on this, I.e. Is it possible to explain your message psychologically?

I always thought that thoughts trigger emotions. In a way that "emotions appear when body reacts to certain thoughts" which we then judge and try to run away from. Would the body produce chemicals for "negative" emotion if the mind was fine with situation? Probably not or? I mean unless you count the conditioning of the body, then it makes sense. Am I wrong to think that? Or were you trying to make a distiction between emotions and feelings?

A child is free...I’m growing up to be a child again! 😃😇🌅🏞 Thanks!

There can be no feeling without thougt,how can you prove your'e feeling without thinking?

I'm feeling positive because I share my birthday with you 😁

Very nicely explained. Thank you.

Bad/good same thing. Its seems there are negative entity who eat US when we have negative emotion..si there good entity who consume our good ones...so what do we do..

Actually in absolute level, it’s true there is no good or bad, neither neutral. But it is okey to see things in a concept, relative concept to go begond concept. Karma is relative concept coz it teaches us about good and bad. But we can use this concept to go beyond. So does not mean all the wisdom being thought is not important. But at the end, everything is comes from the mind including all the teaching, do not let imprison in the concept.
