in 2 hours and 9 minutes, we have to take our friend Lil Boy (cat) in to say goodbye. I need to thank you for the various ways your posts have helped - and then this share right now at this time … I don’t have words. Hoping the best for Kimora! Thank you Angelo
I came home with a 10 week old puppy yesterday, I had thought of all the reasons I didn’t want a second dog then all that went out the window when I saw him. Sometimes animals just suddenly come into our lives and we never know for how long that will be. So love them dearly while there with you. Get well soon Kimora 💕
Get well soon Kimora. One this end more and more, the dispassion is for expectations and the passion is for what is. If you stay passionate in what is all the the time then equanimity replaces it.
All the best to your doggo. Beautiful example on how equanimity works so well. I remember you telling a story somewhere in a Q&A I think, about how there was stress at your hospital shift, because somebody went (nearly?) into cardiac arest and everyone was flipping out and you walked in calm and even a little playful with the defibrilator, asking who wants to push the button :D and that your colleague said your calmness had a profoundly positive effect on the situation. That story really stuck with me because especially when people imagine worst case scenarios, there is this notion, that you can't be calm in it. It's this mind identified defense, that says: "Yeah, equanimity is fine, as long you're not in REAL danger." - So these kinds of examples of lived equanimity through crisis or critical moments really help debunking that stance of needing to be guarded and full of mind (not mindful ;)) to be able to act. 🙏❤
I've been passive for at least 25 years. I finally realized that this is not the neutrality that I was assuming it to be. Actions may appear outwardly similar to equanimity or neutrality, but, to me, passivity is always a cover for some avoidance pattern.
Aw man! So sorry to here the girl isn't doing well! Definitely comes through on the videos how much you care for her! Hope she makes a full and speedy recovery!
Arent thoughts also for creation? Every invention we see, was once a thought, every big choice in life was once a thought etc. Its not like i try to justify endless thoughts rumination, but it might be usefull, even in 1%, right ? Much love for Kimora.❤❤❤
Part of it has been hard for me because I am recognising the fear based thoughts of the future, wanting to do something now to relieve that anxiety, even though my intuition doesn’t nudge me to do so. That’s where the mind is trying to fill in the gap of the unknown and I feel like I’m being indecisive because I want to continue to live my life but none of the options in front of me seem right (unless I'm overthinking the whole thing lol). I was also worrying if I was using spirituality to bypass living life and practical matters but right now I feel called to do less. I can already feel a difference though, I can already sense a freedom of not having to manage my life. The peace is deepening. How do I let go of the sense of time? I hope Kimura is okay, sending love to her. Bless her ❤❤❤
Hi Jess, I understand. As a chronic worrier, I can relate. Stressing over the forever-looming future has been a constant fuel for my own mental turmoil, and even though I can see that this is the root-cause of all this needless suffering, as well as see that right now that 'future-event' doesn't exist at this moment - except in my own imagination - I still struggle to let go sometimes of this restlessness/anxiety (even though I'm aware of what is going on internally). I'm listening to these guided meditations which help me ground myself in being here. This has brought relief by being more engaged with what is happening here right now in my life. I still have the same thoughts of 'what if?'. I still have some visual thoughts and feelings of dread. I have the anticipatory thoughts too, although they have lessened because I see it's just fear-based mental churning, and I also see that the 'worst-case scenario' type beliefs are just simple fears. Hyperbolic exaggerations that I can let go of right now. Nothing is ever as bad as I ever thought it would be. I've learnt this over and over. I don't have to believe the thoughts. I can just sit with them and eventually they go. The feelings too. It all eventually goes if I just don't fixate on it. I heard someone say, "You have the capacity to handle this." I take that to heart. I will live through this, moment-by-moment. I wanted to tell you that there is a playlist on this channel called, "Equanimity". Check it out! There's a vid called, "Awakening | Time, Thought and Equanimity" ; as well as "Do You Feel Out of Synch". I think you may benefit from hearing those. Good luck! 😃
First, I hope Kimora is getting some great care and feeling better soon. ❤❤️ Second, any tips on that space between equanimity and being on autopilot? In a health crisis right now with no answers, just the reality of a physical body that is not functioning well, while still being expected to be all of my roles… coworker, partner, etc. emotionally there is rage and suicidal thoughts… it’s hard, there’s seeing thought and feeling everything, and seemingly no escape from it. No clue what to do. Certainly no equanimity, any ideas??
I wish you stabilization of your health situation. Start with any one belief. Even in a raging storm of thoughts and emotions, catching the right belief and questioning it can have profound results. For instance “I’m expected to maintain my roles.” You can inquire into. What is the evidence that others actually expect that. They might for sure but we can easily assume the motivations or drives of others without asking . Then is it you that expect yourself to maintain roles. Why? Can you imagine a fine in the near future (as for all of us) when you will no longer be able to fill any of the roles that have defined your life? Now if any of these beliefs are found to be relatively true then so be it. The equanimity approach would be “so and so confirmed that they expect me to maintain role xyz.” H or w does that make you feel? Whoa problem is it really? Is it a orobii pit en at all? Can you accept that others will sometimes have unreasonable or impossible expectations of you? And on like this. Good luck to you 😊
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake thank you! ❤️. Lol, I am trying to just enjoy the ride, believe that force/ the universe/ whatever has me right where I need to be, and then something says, “…and that is a thought”. The dysphoria is wild. 😂. Greatly appreciate the pointers above. Once again, hopeful Kimora J is on the mend!! ❤️🩹
Blessings to you. I’ve been here many times even before this journey. I’m grateful though for the tools I’ve found here that help me face these moments and remind me there is always more than what my mind is showing me. Sending love and support to help you through. May you find a peaceful moment soon.
Great talk and explanations about equanimity... when we get overtaken by emotions, it gets really hard to make decisions and let things naturally flow... Kimora example is a great one, I just wish it would be an illustration and not the actual situation... I hope she gets better soon 🙏❤️
Sending love for Kimora! Wanted to mention if you checked for foxtail? I had two pups present this way and after two surgeries each they found foxtails. Those things are deadly and really hard to find.
I didn’t know what foxtail was until my two were so sick. One pup was snorting a lot and it nearly entered her brain (which oddly is possible with canines) the other showed no signs except suddenly very ill and she had it lodged in her organ (I think kidney or pancreas) that was really difficult to find. But they were able to find with ultrasound. Fingers crossed you find a culprit soon!
My dog just got recovered from ordeal that a little sharp bone went through her which caused internal bleeding. Not so obvious but confirmed by xray just b4 the bone was pooped out.
I had an extreme test of equanimity, I had to do wound care on my son on the side of the road while he was screaming until helped arrived. But I knew he would be ok. Still one of my worst days. What was the purpose of this day? It's going to take a while to understand.
Good luck Kamora, you are truly in the best hands yet you probably don't know it.. we all are right ? I get the sense that the mind could very easily with this one, use 'equanimity' as a concept and a way of bypassing. I've watched my own mind turn all kinds of things like this into like a crutch to lean on for fear of the unknown. I have a question about freedom, it's something that has been a core burning question inside me since I can remember, except perhaps as I grew older I repressed and wrote it off as an impossible thing to approach. However having been back on this path for a little while now, something new struck me the other day that was radical and completely wild and it moved me. However the more I thought about it (no shit batman) the more it has slipped away ( again, no shit !). Anyway I wonder at some point if there is enough people who are also curious, could you talk a little about freedom. I'm going to assume that much like equanimity, it is really a byproduct so to speak of awaking and deeper stages of realization. Again, much love to that adorable little puppy who insists on playing and being so cute despite her disabilities.
Hey Angelo. In your book you say that the texture of daily life leads to more profound realization as one gets confronted with all their emotional triggers and so they dissolve, but it seems to me that even just sitting in the I Am for prolonged periods of time continues to purge more and more layers of suppressed/repressed emotions, also while being in hermit mode, at least that's my experience. Or is this maybe indicative of having more old trauma in the body than average and these are still just the "surface layers" that will stop coming up at some point and for the deeper layers to be dissolved I will need the textures of everyday situations?
What are the freaking chances that you would release this video, and give this personal example, today? This is synchronicity, for sure. Last night, after watching your video about synchronicity while holding my 17 yr old baby boy (my dog, Iggy), his tenuous health took a rather dramatic turn for the worse, and I had to respond compassionately. He had just taken a huge turn for the worse and we had the home euthanasia appointment scheduled for Wednesday. My partner was hours a way, and was to drive home today to be with him as soon as she could. But I had to act. After much back and forth with her, Iggy and I drove to the pet emergency. He was calm; he knew it was time, I think. Maybe he just trusted me. I was sad, of course. I cried as I held him, but I didn't get hysterical. I also knew it was time. It's kind of weird; I have had about a million dogs (it seems) and have had to do this a million minus 2 times. It is always hard. This time, though, while I was calm about doing it, I experienced the sadness almost more intensely than ever before. So many more obstacles have dropped away from feeling emotions intimately. As a result, I was with him for every breath, every heartbeat. It was the most peaceful euthanasia I have witnessed. It is because I listen to and practice with teachers like you, Angelo, that I can experience the intimacy of life while also knowing that everything is ultimately okay. Thank you, and I hope and pray that Kimora gets better soon!
Hey Angelo! I’ve been experiencing trouble falling asleep lately (I mean literally in my bed) - because a part of me is wide awake! I can’t really get out of meditation. Is it OK to go on some kind of sleep aid while the unbinding process is occurring (i.e. Trazodone) or will that create interference? Thank you!
I just watch a video on the Abraham Hicks channel about thinking about your desires and wanting many things in order to manifest everything you want in life, etc, etc... and I am having difficulty to reconcile that with living in the present as you explain it and as many other teachers I love explain it too. What are your view on these teachings about manifestation and visualizing what you want and all that? Thank you.
I would never take my dog to a vets or my children to a doctors.. I never panic or worry.. all symptoms are the cure. My dog was extremely sick last week, she looked like she was about to die, vomited a lot, but we stayed up, she fasted for 2 days and is back on fruit and is fine Antibiotics are terrible. I will not interfere…. My four grown up children have zero fillings and perfect teeth as they never went to a dentists. None of us are even registered with a doctors. We take zero harmaceuticals…. The body has an innate intelligence and needs no outside help..
I’m glad to hear you’ve been so blessed. I hope none of your loved ones come down with a serious illness or have a surgical emergency. If they ever do I I hope you don’t hold these views too rigidly.
Positive vibes and love from me for Kimora, get well soon lovely doggy ❤
