Is Your Mind Your Friend or Foe? - Teal Swan-

- Опубликовано: 7 ноя 2014
- Welcome to the practice of spirituality. For thousands of years, it was believed that to get to the spiritual level of reality, the hallmark of which was the soul, you had to separate yourself from your body, separate yourself from your emotions and separate yourself from your mind. We missed the truth that was right in front of our noses. The truth is, there is nothing but the spiritual level of reality. There is nothing but soul. The spirit or soul manifests itself in the form of thoughts, it manifests itself in the form of emotions and it manifests itself as body. Therefore, the more in touch we become with our mind, emotions and body, the deeper we penetrate the spiritual. In this episode, Teal seeks to help us release resistance to our own minds and integrate the mind into our spiritual practice.

Unfortunately, I started my spiritual journey with spiritual bypassing cause I did not know any better (or maybe cause I wasn't yet ready for real spirituality). I spent more than a year using the method I learnt from "spiritual teachers" to avoid my negative thoughts and emotions which made me even more miserable that I was before. It wasnt until I started embracing pain that I became peaceful. Thank you teal, you are truly a gift.
definitely not alone
I was the same. Since discovering this chanel spirituality has started to feel a lot more accessible and easy for me. It's very soothing stuff ☺️💜
I've done spiritual bypassing, too. I think many of us have. I think the key is to recognize spiritual bypassing for what it is and to simply not get caught in it anymore.
I feel foolish from my youth thinking bypassing was IT. It wasn't. It was only me running. I will not do that anymore, not in this life. I no longer fear either pain or shadow or negativity. I am doing my best to embrace it as it arises or as I become aware of it in my life or as I do shadow work.
I used to be afraid of negative thoughts or emotions. Not anymore. It's not that I WANT them - I simply am seeing how I can see them for what they are and embrace them by not resisting them. Yes, sometimes there is pain, regret, anger, the whole gamut. But it's just an aspect of ME. There's an integration that takes place, sometimes without words, and in that integration, I can choose freely with awareness.
One of the things Teal has said that really helps me is see that the trinity in life is the MIND, HEART and BODY. Or .... thoughts, emotions/feelings, body. Knowing this REALLY, REALLY helps me. I am no longer interested in cutting any aspect of myself off or running from any part of myself. If something hurts, if there is pain, darkness, shadow or whatever, I am willing to do whatever is necessary to embrace and integrate it.
Also, what helps is: I AM HERE WITH YOU NOW!!!!!
Same here
We are lucky to have the worldwide web and RUclips so that beings who want to evolve in every way-have access to a spiritual teacher of the magnitude of Teal Swan.....

I think so.
After weeks and months of my mind creating so much constant anxiety and suffering, this is the BEST video I have come across with compassionate, actionable advice. Thank you, Teal. I am almost crying. This is empowering.
When I asked my mind what it needs to be calm, its answer was "Think beautiful thoughts". Thanks Teal.
"The mind is like a child. It tries to help with all good intentions but doesn't know how so it makes a mess from time to time." Haha, resonates with me.
To sum it up:
Your Mind is not your enemy...the key is instead INTEGRATE!
1. Recognising what your mind is doing
2. Acknowledge and Validate your thoughts. See your thoughts as valid, but that doesnt mean it's true.
3. Visualize a warm, compassionate energy around your "mind" which holds/hugs your mind (especially useful for chronic negative thoughts)
4. Try
+ Byron Katie Process
+ Meditation
+ Change your beliefs liberately, Watch Teals Video: "How to change a Belief"
+ Find better feeling thoughts and positive aspects about feeling this pain (eg What is good about feeling sick?)
+ Do a positive scavenger hunt
+ See your mind as a sculpture - you give your sculpture pristine warm clay to work with e.g. Affirmations etc
+ You can NOT force your mind in any way (to get calm...)
+ Ask your mind directly: What do you need now? ( e.g. Your mind needs to run)
Thanks to Teal!
Thank you.
That was great, one of the most important lessons really. Integration, not further fragmentation. Like the rainbow, we need to merge the colors in order to become the pure white light of oneness, not separate out certain colors or vibrations as being superior to others, but bring them all together in unity. Peace...
Can't believe how good this was! Asking my mind is awesome! Allowing it to run freeeeee! Mine wanted my body to move, so much trapped energy. Wow, got me back to real me. Fantastic!
are you saying white power gabriel
Oh man, not in the slightest, don't get hung up on colors. The rainbow color spectrum of colors we know and love is a result of fragmentation of the pure white light that comes from the sun, that's just a scientific fact.
I know man :P
Hey Gabedogger :) Love your work!
I start to form questions, but before they become actual questions Teal gives me their answers. And this is just so good. I can never get over how perfect her timing is and how much I agree with what she's getting at. I am just so happy about it, that she is there making videos and sharing them. It brings me peace. I'm serious. Sometimes when I feel hopeless, I think about her and all of the people commenting on her videos, all these awesome people. It really helps.
After 3 months of pure-o OCD torture. Watching this video just released me from this pain. Thank you
Couldn't agree more. There is so much emphasis in spiritual circles to ignore thoughts, that they are just distractions etc. I've found that some thoughts patterns carry a message and will keep recurring until you listen deeply and understand that message. The thoughts distract you when you are unable to listen to them correctly and miss the mark so to speak.
Treat it like a child in need of help and attention. What you first hear and feel from the attempts to get attention are not always what you will feel and hear when you engage the child to sate that need for attention, and the need that drove it to need attention. Ie a screaming child that scrapes their knee. Their first need for attention is fixed, when attented to, and their primary driving need to feel secure and loved is answered when the scrape is attended to.
That and the princple of the 'second mind' will keep things repeating if not properly attended to in the first place. Its also what will keep a song in your head. The reason for that is, for one way, is well, songs are 'spells' in the esoteric sense, and you are hearing one that has energetic capacitance with something in you. Discharge it, by finding the mirror, and answering the hidden need from the past.
The mind gets egoized to compete for attention and grandeur, which leads it to pursue desperate attempts to use creativity blindly in search of differentiation and uniqueness. Good job, Teal, for liberating people from the degenerative trap of antagonizing the mind against the mind.
All the mind really needs to do to become healthy and helpful is give up this obsessive competitiveness and commit itself to simply becoming more clear, more enlightened, seeking what is true, right, and/or good for oneself and/or others.
Once the mind accepts that it doesn't need to compete to be loved, that it has the special place of being responsible for the pursuit of goodness in tandem with the particular soul and body to which it is connected, it stops fighting for attention and begins applying itself to that pursuit.
I literally came to the same conclusions in the past weeks and even wrote everything down although the way you explain it is more understandable. wow. I burst out crying when you asked your rhetoric questions and I was able to answer them all the same way. I am pretty proud of myself right now :D
I was diagnosed bpd. I found ur videos about a month ago. I listen and practice daily. Since then my symptoms that I was told were as a result of the bpd have subsided. U have tought me a lot. How to cope w my emotions and thoughts. Tyvm
journals are awesome, everyone should keep one. It's also good to go back and read past journal entries.
literally my favourite teal video. this shit is GOLD
Liv Phoenix
I feel you!!👍🏾👍🏾
Aghh I love juu Liv
Very profound video. How many times we are taught of the mind is the enemy, and we get rid of it... Haha. The mind is our tool to create. Getting rid of it means getting rid of our essence as the true creator. Thx Teal!
Such a fresh perspective! It's nice to finally hear someone not belittle the mind like it's against us. Thanks miss Swan!
Perfect timing for this video (: my mind really fucks w me sometimes. Ever since I starting practicing meditation, I felt like my mind was my enemy. But now I know that trying to separate myself from it so desperately will only make it worse. Thank you so much for this teal! I will make the effort to apply this to my life now (:
teal swan always blow my mind.
Teal,
Learning to trust is a skill I had lost. But 53 and 1/2 (haven't finished this one lol) videos in and I can feel it coming back. I feel closer to myself today than I have in years. Thank you for all that you do.
I really liked what Teal says here about making your mind your ally instead of your enemy. Working with our minds and finding out what it needs or what its trying to tell us, instead of thinking we should ignore what its thinking can be beneficial for us. I'm not saying we should obsess over things, that's not what is meant here. Obsessing is a different type of emotional problem.
I think Teal is cool.
I learned a while back that monitoring your thoughts was an important key to your well-being.
This is awesome! I have been trying to calm my mind but it keeps on talking and at some point along the process I get frustrated and wonder how some people meditate for an hour! I did all sorts but, nothing worked so I gave up on it. Thanks for this video. Now that I know my mind like day dreaming, it is inquisitive and eager to learn I will provide those and work with it. It has been 5 months since I have started to follow you and I didn't even know how I came across your videos but all I know is my life has changed and I am so grateful to you.
Teal, your message and seemingly endless generosity with your weekly Ask Teal episodes and your cross references to other episodes really are revolutionary. This information is saving my family from internal combustion. Thank you 🙏🏽
After a few days of working this, I can honestly say that this is one of the best ideas you have taught. It has completely changed how I was handling my mind. Instead of trying to shut it off, getting frustrated with the same thoughts returning even though I released them, I know accept the mind as is. I have found myself talking to my mind as suggested. I let it know I understand why it feels the way it does and that it is ok. I let it know that I'm going to go meditate (or whatever) and that it can work out the thoughts as needed. It's like a separate person. Boy, has this worked for me! I am so happy with this video. I love all your videos but this is a really important one. Thanks, Teal!
So grateful for this and having found you. What a shift. What a gift you are to me.
What helped me with my mental issues the most was Active Side of Infinity by Carlos Castaneda.
This video has such a compassionate message! Thank you Teal
Keep doing your thing. It doesn’t go unappreciated. Love your insights and truth.
I didn't expect to hear something like that! You blew my mind (haha!) as always! Thank you Teal!!!
I've watched this video already quite a few times! It's pure gold!!!
Priceless! So grateful to have found Teal. Thank you!
Thank you for putting into words what I've been thinking and feeling all along about the mind. Working with the mind with love and compassion is what has been helping me heal instead of disregarding and dismissing it. Be it's best friend and help guide it, because it is part of you and is your ally. I'm so glad I found your channel. :)
Dear Teal, you are one of a kind! Every subject I’m dwelling on, you have beautifully answered. You are changing my life as no other teacher has. Thank you. I wish you the best in your own journey.
Haha that explains everything... I can only do yoga after I gym... this lady is changing the way I perceive life... now im super excited to be alive and to live.
wonderful Teal! Just when i needed most you post a video with just the right topic!
Thank you, Much Love
Well done. Simple, straightforward and empowering.
This is pure gold. Thank you!
Awesome! You have no idea or maybe you do, what a valuable asset you are to so many!
Amazing video on this subject. Thank you Teal Swan... Beautiful explanation x
Wow this is GOLD. ILL be watching again and taking notes.
I like my crazy mind all of a sudden! :) Feels a lot better than trying to calm it down at all costs.
Oh Teal thank you so much for this video and all the others of course! You are wonderful!
best video ever on so many levels, thank you so much Teal.
Thank you, Teal. Your videos are beautiful & helpful. I'm grateful to you 😊
Teal I can honestly say that I don't think I would have ever figured this one out on my own, as much as I want to believe that I would. my mind needing to be loved? comes to me as a bit of a shock. Overidentification prevents me from seeing this
Not just your mind yo, everything about you, every single thing. Then you need to be confident, have trust and fully express yourself with pride. - It's the secret
I find amazing how you made a video exactly when I needed to hear some words about this specific issue. Amazing Teal
+Teal Swan. thank you for being different. thank you for being the same. thank you for being brave enough to be you. I don't care if other spiritual people call you a "show" and that nothing you teach is right. at least you make sense to me and your teachings are different, because you don't make me feel guilty or ignorant. you really help me to realise the small and big things in life. thank you
well said
Keep going. We love you. You've helped many of us.
This is my focus this summer! Healing my relationship to my
Love love love this video! Thank you for touching on everything aspect and purpose of mind! This was so wholesome and my mind is already in a 'happy' state after being led here by a negative thoughts :)
You have saved my life once more, just like the many other occasions when I was making myself to be my worst enemy.
I really, really love this one, Teal. Thank you very much.
This is the most fundamental spiritual lesson and sofar the best lesson for me! Thanks Teal for your guidance!
Beautiful video, your thoughts and the shape of your introspection are very enlightening and this was exactly what I needed to hear. After this I watched a guided meditation and started writing music. Thank you
Thank you soooo much....I needed it .....immense love to you Teal....
Thank you! Beautifully spoken.
Thanks for sharing, Teal!
"The mind has been willing to work with you, instead of against you, all along." I like that.

Got here from "thought is a a sense." Powerful content!
needed badly to hear this in this moment of life. Namaste!
Thanks Teal for teaching us about this issue, I was needed it !!! ♥ ♥ ♥
Thank you Teal!
Can't believe how good this was! Asking my mind is awesome! Allowing it to run freeeeee! Mine wanted my body to move, so much trapped energy. Wow, got me back to real me. Fantastic!
Thx a ton Teal. I’ve been resisting my mind, thoughts n my PMS. Following spiritual lessons of only I can mk me happy, mortified me. LAO scared me of negative thoughts. Ur teachings have been a game changer. My Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar inspired me to follow u. Thx 🙏🏼
Dearest Teal, I deeply appreciate You so much, since what you say resonates with me so much and makes so much sense ! I am deeply Grateful I found you in my Life ! Love and Light to You !
Much thanks Teals Swan and much LOVE :)
Lots of love and appreciation to you my beloved teallu💜thank you🙏🌠
Thank you so very much for your guidance Teal!
With my deepest gratitude and appreciation, for each and every one of your loving clear insights and profound teachings,
you so caringly and generously share!
How delicious to feel the recognition of their truth love and compassion deeply within settling and realign again and again that which is disconnected,
Gently just as we are ready to receive dissolve whatever guards we still believe necessary to uphold for ourselves.
May you be blessed with a loving, happy, long, joyfull and healthy life beneficial to all sentient beings, o Precious Precious Guru! ❤️🙏🏻
I was thinking of Byron Katie and soon after Teal mentiones her as a great teacher. Thank you Teal for the useful lectures.
This video really helped me. Thank you. Teal♥
Thank you. I have been struggling with this confusion for quite some time.
Wooooow!!! Mindblowing! Thaaank you!
I love these. Thanks Teal!
Thank you so much Teal you have been such an inspiration to me, and you have changed my life in such a big way i have no idea how to thank you! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. I needed to hear that, it makes so much sense now. It turns out I didn't need to focus on the heart center and forget about the mind (it never worked because it doesn't feel right), I have to create space in my heart to compasionately listen and get to know and take care of my anxious mind. This centers have to work together. You're an angel, bless your heart and your mind ◇♡
Thank you for the clarity on letting myself love my mind 💚
Hey eyes are just. . . wow, so otherworldly to me. I love her teachings, also. Beautiful perception of the mind and it's faculties.
Very well explained.. Thank you Teal.
Happy thanksgiving mrs swan and thank you for helping us with ourselves
teal thanks for this material . very very helpful
Thank you again Teal.
The only thing that calms my mind is Teal's videos, how's that even possible I have no idea 😌
This was fantastic!! exactly what I needed to hear. What I always need to hear.
Just what I needed to hear, I struggle a lot falling asleep my mind just won't switch off tonight I will try this process. Thank you teal x
Yes the work for Byron Katie is super effective
Thank You for this!
Thank you Teal.
Thank you M Teal.
Teal is wonderful. I love the message she is conveying in this video. It doesn't make sense to still your mind if your mind does not want to be still. We are all unique beings and to all practice the same thing would be what society is doing already, which obviously does not work. So to create a friendship with your mind, will create oneness with your being.
Thank you so much Teal
I am so greatful for dis video. Thanks dewd.
