I had a dream which made a huge change for me. Maybe if i share it, it may speak something to you. I dreamt of fear. Huge deep seated fear. I was going from my work at night on a bycicle. It was a familiar surroundings. At one point i felt fear creeping in. So i looked back and saw three dark ghosts flying across a distance. I tried to run away, peddaling faster and faster. The more my speed increased the closer they were. When i realized there's no way i can escape them my bike was gone and i found myself running. They were on me and i faced the fact that this is it. I'm as good as dead. Gone. I could feel them on my back and i let go of fear accepting my fate. Stopped, turned around and took a sober look at them. But what i saw transformed me. There they were. Three silky dark shadows raging and moaning before me. They were absolutely angry. I tried to see their faces. But underneath their hoods there was nothing. Just dark space. I realized they cant touch me. And the more i would relate to them the more i begun to feel sorry for them. And suddenly bam! I got a genuine feeling of motherly care and love. Of a mother who is helpless in helping her kids in big trouble. My heart ached. All i wanted was to hugg them. They felt like my boys... and i loved them endlessly. I didnt see fear no longer.. i saw helpless beings in great pain. But all i could do for them was just loved them. Ever since i had that dream which was years ago i hadnt have a single nightmare... i just dont experience fear in such depth any longer

@cedq4957 3 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing! I could deeply relate to this. Like you did in your dream, I came to realize that we should not run from our fear, be angry at it or wish it away. I came to realize that fear and anxious thoughts are actually the ways the mind/body uses to protect the parts of us that have been deeply hurt and through creating fear tries to prevent us from entering into the same or similar situation again thus spearing us being hurt again. As you correctly stated, to really transform the fear is to face it and love the parts that are creating it, thereby resolving it

@Ashish-nd3xj 3 года назад

@@cedq4957 you think this would work for some one with anxiety/ocd

@cedq4957 3 года назад

@@Ashish-nd3xj I definitely do! I don't have experience with OCD but as someone who had insane levels of anxiety I can tell you that most of it is gone. For me the key was to stop fighting the anxiety, accepting it and letting myself be anxious without identyfing with the fear. A very transformative practice / insight for me was the following: Every time I was starting to give myself a hard time about being fearful and anxious I would imagine that the anxiety/fear was my little sister who came to me and told me " I am fearful & anxious". And I then asked myself how would I react in that situation. Would I tell her that she should stop feeling that way, give her a hard time about it and tell her to fight with her feelings? NO! I would give her all the love and compassion in the world and tell her that is ok to have such feelings. That's how I treat my own anxiety and fear now. I try to hold it in compassion and loving kindness and just allow it to be (of course sometimes it is very difficult and painful to do that) but that way I was able to release so much pain! I would like to make you aware of two sources of spiritual teachers that have helped tremendously with that: 1- A book called "No Time Like the Present: Finding Freedom and Joy Where You Are" by Jack Kornfield 2. The follwing teaching called "I'm overwhelmed with fear" by my favorite spiritual teacher Adyashanti: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K8DTh5jJ9fQ.html Please note that I am no professional spiritual teacher or psychologist.

Simply put, running away from something unpleasant is Fear. So, running away from Fear, IS Fear. Alan Watts videos and teachings are wonderful. To me, it seems these concepts can only be absorbed a bit at the time. It’s difficult to wrap your mind around them instantly. I can only watch Rupert in stages, give myself time to digest his teachings. It takes time, but it clicks in when you least expect it. The main thing is not to quit.

I had this happened when I smashed my finger in a drawer! The pain was so great in that instant, that it blew out my mind, as Rupert says, and no thinking took place. I was totally present with the physical sensations. To my other amazement the pain in my finger vanished. It never came back, and there was no bruising. The pain vanished as I fully experienced it without thought.

@sunbeam9222 2 месяца назад

I was in a meditation retreat with the biggest back pain ever. It lasted days. The teacher told me to go visit the pain ( mind focus) no resistance, just open curiosity. I did just that. What appeared to me as burning then felt hot, then it felt warm, then lukewarm and a thought came that it's actually quite nice, and then baaam, it's like something collapsed and I felt bliss all over. I remained in meditation 10 hours a day for 5 more days feeling so light and free. A couple years later, I dislocated my toe, instantly remembered that technique. And applied. I could feel the sensations but no pain. I just hopped into a taxi, waited patiently at the hospital, people around looked at my foot a bit horrified but all that brothered me at the time was to realize that my nails looked rough and were in need of tlc lol

@squamish4244 Год назад

@@joaodanni No. I've had massive energetic shifts, especially in the last six months, but no change in my subjective experience. I asked him because the comment is five years old and he felt like abiding awareness was "not far off". In so many comments on so many videos, people say they feel they are "Not far off/Just around the corner/Before long" etc. When I ask them five or six or eight years later, I either get "Almost there", "Only a matter of time", or more frequently no answer. We must not be afraid to discuss success rates. If you were working out for five years and saw no results, would you keep doing the same thing or think maybe there was something wrong with your methods? Yet we often fail to apply the same logic to spiritual practice. We need to rigorously question spiritual practice in order for it to evolve and keep improving. I would never have progressed out of some very serious shit if I didn't keep looking for different ways to improve, including technological, neuroscience-based means.

@seqkatwinn2766 8 лет назад

I feel like fear would not be present without the thought labeling and/or defining something as bad. You just don't feel fear for no reason. The mind has already gone into a place of reasoning that something is bad, threatening, scary, etc. It may could be a subconscious thought, but the thought is still there, prompting the fear. I do agree that then, when we go into conscious thought, we can amplify the fear ... I just feel like though fear would not be present at all without some thought initially being there about the given situation.

@kwixotic 5 лет назад

Not only is there value in not adding the post fear commentary but there's value in embracing such fear. For instance, in the book "Panic Away", in addressing anxiety attacks, the author prescribes indulging with the seemingly overwhelming feeling of dread. I've done this and just about every time, the energy that goes into the panic gets transmuted into bursts of laughter.

@12703pp Год назад

This teaching brings me to yet a deeper opportunity to appreciate my experience. Thank you! However, it occurs to me that the emotion itself is not actually a spontaneous reaction to something albeit it is certainly prior to the thought as Rupert teaches. I suggest that the emotion itself is an unconscious reaction to an already existing belief. That belief may be instinctual or conditioned, but it does serve as the foundation for the emotional reaction. For one person, seeing a spider generates fear because the experience of spider has been connected with a belief it might be dangerous, for example. To another, the emotion might be curiosity because that conditioning has not been instilled. As we are able to be with the emotion prior to thought, as Rupert suggests, that prior conditioning might also be one of the things which gets revealed/experienced/dropped.

@ranirathi3379 Год назад

"if you're pushing it away, it will reinforce the belief that this is unbearable". - to the degree we are identified with the fear, distress, discomfort (which increases the more we push it away), it becomes more and more powerful bcz now we're more identified with what appears as image, rather than the screen that is awareness which knows no distress nor fear. which is why the thing that works best when we're overwhelmed is to go to something else to allow greater tranquility and placidness to establish, whence the solution comes. otherwise staying ruminating over the same thing we're stuck at increases identification and fear so much we push it away more and more. which is why having a hobby for such placid mundane rooting in daily life is essential.
