Absolutely wonderful video I have pain and sadness I am definitely going to practice surrender lots of love peace and good health to you keep making these videos 🙏❤️🙏
Thankyou for what you do. It's been 10 years since my N A recovery the steps and the serenity have saved my life. Sometimes I need to brush up on my mental health and finding your video has realy related to me. U are very good at what you do thank you for giving the help everybody needs.
You have no idea how “right on time” this video was, Douglas! Thank you for pressing on and getting it done through your own struggles and difficulties. Blessed be!
I will leave that there is a power greater than yourself that can give you support. Also helps to reach out to others in your environment who can provide immediate support
Hi, Dr. Bloch: Your video, in an A.A. meeting, would be referred to as "sharing your experience, strength and hope." Thank you for your "small" contribution. When it comes from the heart, it is never "small." As always, I so enjoyed watching your video and listening to you sharing your process with us all. Air hugs to you.
@@DouglasBloch that's cool Yeah I named myself that because My sun is Pisces and my second favorite zodiac sign is Scorpio so I thought I would add Scorpion after that.
Lovely video Douglas, one i will watch again and again. Thank you for being a beacon of light and hope in this trying world. Your work is appreciated and so very important. Wishing you well and good health 💐💕
I’m heavily engaged in a spiritual practice that is heading in a direction of self mastery. When my psychic senses opened up I started going through experiences that aligned with mental illness. What is said here is spot on, surrender is the answer for the development and we tend to exhaust all avenues before this happens. Super simple, yet probably the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through.
@@DouglasBloch Thank you for having this channel. As I've written you previously, it's the only help a poor and desperate person can get during these trying times. These last 2 years have been BRUTAL. That's putting it lightly.
You are an inspiration. I am currently reading your book "Words that Heal". It is such an up-lifting book and I cannot Thank you enough. So I hope you too, apply what you wrote on your journey in life and your healing from your operation. All the best.
Thank you. I wanted to let you know that words the heal is an audiobook which is being uploaded to this channel. You can also get it on audible.com Also, if you like words in heal you might want to take a look at the other two books in that inspirational trilogy, "listening to your inner voice," and "I am with you always."
Isaiah 41 : 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41 : 13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Lovely message, thank you 😊 I also did struggle to let go - in my case - of trying to control the circumstances, to let go of thinking, worrying and anticipating future. There really is some sort of higher power existing on another plane, taking care of us even when we don't realize it - and it's wonderful to consciously experience it once that we ask for guidance. I have seen with myself that ego may be issue as well. Surrendering is giving up ego and I think it opens doors to a lot of love from many sources 🌻 Thank you for sharing your video, I hope you are doing well!
I'm glad that something pulled you back. Here is a website I created that is designed to help people to survive suicidal pain. Please look it over. I think you will find information and encouragement that will tether you to life. I look forward to your feedback. www.overcomingsuicidalpain.com
Hi Douglas, thank you for making this video even though you weren't feeling well. I hope your bionic hip is better than new! The one I turn to is Jesus when I'm facing an enemy like depression which is too strong for me. He promised, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." I also wanted to let you know that whenever I come across someone who is suffering from anxiety or depression, I refer them to your channel. I want you to reach 100k subscribers too!
Thanks for your encouragement. I have a chapter in my book Healing From Depression that has a bunch of spiritual quotations taken from the Bible and other spiritual texts. I also think I made a video about them.
Yes Doug step three and serenity prayer remind us of our limitations at times and the need not to fret. Remember to lay our worries at his feet, and when the storms get severe be reminded of Jesus approach when the storm came and he was asleep on the boat; Peter emmulated these actions at a time in peril in his own life.
On SuperSoul Sunday run by Oprah it was said Surrender was like a fish catching the next current and flowing down stream. "Going with the Flow". Would that mean the path of least resistance?
A valuable and insightful soul message, Douglas. So true, when you surrender, the burden seems to unexpectedly shift. Loved the snake joke btw lol. Hammy as usual, but that's what makes your jokes funny. I don't usually comment as much nowadays, but I always make sure to 'like' your videos. Take care Douglas, and God bless.
I think "surrender" in this sense is essentially the same as a sort of holy acceptance in the tradition of de Caussade's "Abandonment to Divine Providence." Thank you so much for your videos, they are very helpful. Please take good care of yourself, and God bless. :)
@@DouglasBloch Jean-Pierre de Caussade, an 18th-century French Jesuit spiritual writer. He wrote a spiritual treatise known as "Abandonment to Divine Providence." :)
Make sure you do the stretches you really don't want to do and hold each one for at least 30 seconds and no cheating. The body is a temple so worship well. Take good care.
