I will be tuning in from Thailand. My daily meditation practice is progressing slowly. Thank you very much for this podcast. It's a lantern leading me to the light at the end of a dark tunnel.
Watching a reply, meditation is a part of my life a long time ago, can say that when I am not practicing is completely different experience, it's better when I do practice, thank you guys for your help and inspiration
I tuned in late from home, toward the middle of the meditation. Today I did the meditation and am watching the rest. Most certainly my meditation practice has changed because of episode 1. I'm approaching it differently, and not putting so much pressure on myself. Your teachings have been extremely helpful and I am grateful. ❤
You would be surprised how many people who struggle with depression struggle to shower everyday or didnt have parents that taught them to shower every day. Thank you for the reminder of the importance of a physical shower and mental shower. This entire conversation was very helpful. Thank you so much.
Whenever I listen to a dhamma talk or anything of this nature casually, I seldom benefit from it. Whenever I listen attentively to a teaching, occasionally pausing for reflection, I gain new knowledge about the practice and fresh insights into where I'm stuck and why. Meditation sounds easy, but it's not! This podcast series is super awesome! 🙏🙏🙏
Today I finished up listening to this podcast, and I applaud all three of you for sharing your wisdom and insight. I'm already looking forward to the next podcast, and the one day retreat! Thank you for making that accessible to all. Thank you so much, Gail, Venerable Nick, and Venerable Michael. ❤
The second podcast was excellent!! It was so interesting, thought-provoking, and helpful. To look within ourselves in a neutral way, identify how we can change and then take small steps to make those changes is key. So many people spend precious time looking outside of themselves, seeking a label for their suffering. When they are given a label for it, they cling on to it tightly, and there they remain. Thank you Venerable Nick, Venerable Michael and Gail. Keep up the wonderful work.
Venerable Nick I been listening to you for a while .you have helped me to find my inner piece ,I meditate every day I cannot cope without it in my life. W all face many challenges however meditation calms me down and allows me to just Be . ❤ This podcast is wonderful a good listen before bed .Thank you sharing .
I’m in Petaluma California. I’ve listening to the first pod cast a couple of times and I am doing more meditation. Looking forward to today’s podcast. I’ve been listening to venerable Nick for years. Thank you all for doing this for us.
I really enjoyed this episode 🙏🏼 I truly resonated with everything that was discussed today and there were some great reminders! I will listen to the wisdom here again.
Wow, I needed this today. I've lost a parent this week and have been struggling. I will re-watch day one and implement meditation. Maybe do the light house retreat
Someone told me "you're only stuck if you stop". This helped me to acknowledge that even a little movement was healing. I love this podcast (also started with Venerable Nick!) A visualization that was given to me by a neurologist was that when we move our bodies or meditate, we are ACTUALLY giving our brains a "bubble bath" by flushing them with good chemicals! This has helped me infinitely. Question-how would you suggest bringing a teenager into meditation who is open to it, but resists when asked? My son is 18 and dabbling into Eastern philosophy.Thank you all so so much!!
Hi venerable Nick I’m tuning in from Scotland 🏴 uk ‘ I will be honest I’ve not meditated not because I didn’t want to it was just I had so much stress going on I ended up in hospital for a brain scan Dr thought I had a stroke but it wasn’t I’m very grateful for that but I was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy my left side of my face was numb including my tongue so I will listen to part one again and can’t wait for part 2 I really need to get control of my life and health thank you so very much for sharing your wisdom I greatly appreciate it
Oh no. I’m sorry to hear that. Sending you my blessings from Thailand and may you have a speedy recovery my friend. Please take a lot of rest and continue to be kind and gentle with yourself 😊
@@nickkeomahavong01 thank you so much NICK I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR REPLY THANK YOU FOR THE BLESSINGS MY LIFE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESET BUT IM BELIEVING ITS FOR THE BEST BLESSINGS TO YOU DEAR FRIEND
I’ve been following Nick since before he became a monk. Could you have an episode of some of the cautions for meditation especially those that have had trauma and may have flashbacks or other negative things happen while they are learning to meditate? That is very rarely talked about and I think it’s important.
Where will you be tuning in from for episode 2? Also, how has your meditation practice been since we last met for episode I?
