TIPS for Controlling Your Own Thoughts 

I'm muslim and I respect your teaching thankyou

Outstanding teaching!! Psalm 119:11 : Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Love all your Lectures. GOD BLESS YOU.

SHALOM!

Sing the psalms! Its lovely!

You are a very wise man rabbi, I could listen to you for hours. Thank you.

Amazing, simple, usable - thank you so much. Hindu teaching says, "thoughts are powerful, they can go far", as though they are entities of their own (so I understand it). You have given a method to evict unwanted thoughts from the mind.

I wish he was my uncle, I could sit and listen to him all day long.

I recently discovered this channel. I’m Serbian orthodox and love this channel. Thank you Rabbi Manis.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things..

This is so beautiful. During my explorations I have come to love gratitude. I give thanks to God for the ground, the roof above my head, the trees next to, the air the love and even the dislike around me that will only help me be a better person. I’m grateful now for the idea to memorize a psalm. And so I shall

Thank you Rabbi. As usual right when I needed to hear this.

Evry one need a Rabbi שלום שלום

Creativities do not stop thinking

B"H/ For 45 years I have found this to be a true and fine approach

“A dream is a wish your heart makes “ has been the song in my head since I was 7😊.

My meditation of Him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord

Great advice. I also am intrigued by the very first part, when the Rabbi distinguishes between internal intelligence functions and thinking, an outward expression. Something to mull over very well. Thank you.

Thank you Rabbi

Amazing!!! and very inspiring words!! Here from Eretz Yisrael enjoying your content🏆 Thank you Rabbi !!!!

Just sit and know that you are the Awareness without words (like the way you were when you were a 1yr old baby). And soon you will observe the mind and just let it rest and the rest of you will come down to your natural and absolute state. You are Amazing!!

Thank you for sharing this lovely teaching Rabbi 🤗

I Like how you explain things.

magikal thinking👍

Make an audiobook please!

Yes, replacement thought. I need to practice this but most of all need to ask myself why? More and tell myself I need to give myself more than one answer to test them individually and together and be able to accept before moving on or advancing because different answers may change the direction of advancement.

Very interesting teaching Rabbi,.,thank you... I do say 'stop', when i am done with my mind-stories, and i quote; 'I am , that i am". I had a good day today, content, easy, light and stable,.and good hope,.

I love you Rabbi! : ) Is it ok for me to say that?

Rabbi, that's beautiful ✨

Beautiful

Amazing Idea !

Many of our thoughts are born from our struggle to control the mind. The mind can be a friend or an enemy, an obstacle or an ally. That’s the problem: how do you know wether your mind is a help or a hindrance?

Great thoughts 😎

I'm learning so much since listening to your videos. Thank you 🙏

Well said 👏

I see you..

I discovered some years ago I can parallel thinking; I'm not joking,that's when I tried not thinking of something that was too sad and even recited outloud something memorized, but I realized I can think in parallel different things .. I don't think I'm the only one.. what solution can we have in this case ..

Brilliant!

hope he’s recanting his statements on young marriages

Very helpful, sometimes in these trying times your mind gets heavy and thinking to much. The negativity that surrounds us is overwhelming so it is nice to have a alternative to go to. Thank you.

Yup...

This is what I need to stop 🛑 thinking 🤔

Always keep take hold His commandments by health, foods, parents, families, and moed times. They cannot turn them away all the times.

Thank you Rabbi this is a big help ❤

Wise words. Thank you .. Would you also share how we can practice kids into spirituality without much compulsion

interesting you seem to have a new answer to one of my perplexing "thoughts or questions ). someone asked me if i hear voices , no i hear music . a few days ago i was helping do laundry in a historical town. clearly i hear my name called. actual noise. went outside the old structure looking for someone who was calling to me. "im over here", i called back. three times i called out. there was no one there.

Kabbalah teaches that the will (desire) is the essance of the creatures (the souls)...thoughts is a result of the desires...we think of what we want..simple. so changing the desires is the only way to change your thoughts.

Thoughts become things, our thoughts manifest themselves into reality and behavior. Thank you for this elaborative teaching. 💜

Rabbi, you should play a bigger role in guiding people that are not Jewish. Also, this world may use your knowledge and kindness to get a better place for everyone.

that is the purpose of praying in a closet. Or how it is done in asia with a small area directing attention towards family lineage and lessons. I heard about an english psychologist who tested the american psychological association in the 70's. During his first year practicing he started talking with patients. After a few weeks or months he noticed improvements in his patients sending them home in shorter time frames than many had previously been sent home. It wasn't long after they returned with the same issues they had before going home. So he asked a few patients if he could observe them in their family home. After a few studies he was able to conclude dominance hierarchy within the home was the root cause of patients dissonance. A dog will dominate the home if it thinks it self the alpha of the pack, children will dominate the home if leadership isn't established. I think there should be more yeses than no, but no should be definitive, and yeses followed through with more often than not. Having a private place in the home to gather thoughts and focus the mind even a simple candle to help with reflection to stop the mind wandering to far or getting to caught up on the one thought. When i said to my children i will think about it it meant unlikely, but think of it as a no, you can ask again, but wait more than a few seconds or minuets before asking. It also helped remind me that i would think about what they asked for, often i would do as asked simply because i forgot to properly consider it and in most instances it wasn't beyond my ability to do. But my no's are mostly decisive, i have used that more often than i should have.

The idea of the consention of good thoughts, good words, then good deeds comes from the gathas predating genesys! symbolized in the farvahar
