YOU ARE my actual therapist. My real therapist sucks, she's nothing but a mute white wall. I always bring you up cause everything I learn is from you and not from her! Thank you for being there for us every single Saturday. Your regularity gives me also a sense of safety that I have not in my regular life. THANK YOU, TEAL !
Hi C! 2 reasons: 1. I'm tired of explaining my whole story from the beginning again and going through the "getting to know each other" process with a new therapist again. It would just bore me so very much. I'm done with therapy. Was my whole life in therapy and it has always felt like this (useless) therapist would be my last one. I'm nothing but bored with telling my issues over and over again. By repeating them over and over again, I also strengthen this neuronal wired pathway in my brain! I'll stuck in my past for ever. It's time to move on, time for a new begin. Time to connect new neuronal pathways, good/healthy and happy ones and strengthen them by repeating them over and over. You know what I mean? This actual therapy doesn't motivate me, it doesn't help me to move forward, not at all. It's nothing but remaining in the past. Super senseless. 2. Because I've none in my life besides her, I've become emotional dependent on her. Although I don't benefit from her, it's still one hour in a week where I've got the opportunity to talk to someone. In my real life,no one talks to me, all are afraid of a "deeper talk".
Hi Luticia I think what everyone in our situation needs would be someone who just gives us the compassion and love that whe never got so whe come home to ourselves and feel safe and secure in this world. Problem is where could whe get that from?
My core commitment is to learn, research and discover. Thats why I couldn’t wait to get home from work and read all I want, cuz there was nothing new to learn on job, just doing same work😑 Thats why I quit hahaha, I felt it like a waste of my time. I need job where I can learn and improve. That gives me fulfillment.
I did this and I saw myself, standing on a hill, surrounded by nature, overlooking a sun soaked valley with bird flying by. I felt strength and peace, and total connection and love with myself, and with the world... I work as a gardener, my wife is a midwife, my kids are vegan homeshoolers, we are working towards building a permaculture farm... wow!!!!
I saw myself standing in my grandmothers garden as a child. I had a sence of "I'm nurturing" (the flowers/an animal, something undefined). I felt like somehow connecting my heart with the earth I placed the flowers in. At the same time I felt like I'm beeing nurtured, taken care of by my grandma. I felt very safe, but like there was a lack of love and care I couldn't fill. I desperatly needed it filled but it can't be. I try to get something from the earth, hugs, the people I love. But it's not enough. I know that I saw myself here shortly before a time of great trauma. I think this great need for love and care that is naturally not given to me as much as my trauma demands caused me to develop a core commitment to nurturing others. I give everything, subconciously deeply craving what I'm giving. This had me ending up in a few very unhealthy, damaging relationships. I do feel like I'm doing a healthy job at nurture in non romantic relationships though. It's my honest desire to help and give love. I just don't know how to solve that intense need for an impossible amount of nurture. It's like something inside of me is craving to be a baby again.
Teal helped me understand something i think you may want to look into... we quite literally NEED out needs met before being able to go onto the next developmental stage. So if baby needs were NOT met. Baby you is screaming and going to do everything to get that need met before evolving to toddler... baby your inner baby. You had to grow up too fast if you werent having needs met and so- theres a split within. Adult protector and small baby. Then a 3rd higher self perspective loving and coexisting as another. Look into why and if you feel you deserve to be babied if thats your true need within. Its okay to be there and need that. Ask others to help you with that too once you accept that about yourself so you feel safe enough to let that part out around another. Its okay to be there. I feel you. And you will be able to find those who are open minded and loving to help you integrate and be one with that part to one day (although not the intention- have intention just to be there and meet the needs of your baby) you will grow out to toddler, bigger child, teen, etc if these werent healed
@laluna922 What you are doing for others is beautiful and you are appreciated for that. Im sorry your needs weren’t met when they should have been but despite the pain you are persevering and meeting the needs of others and the universe as a whole and that is powerful. Your gift will bring you and your loved ones a brighter future so keep up the good work. Thank you ❤️
Wow. I realized my core commitment is inner peace. I've been searching for it all my life and when I envision and feel into the feeling I see a cottage in redwoods with a warm fire in the autumn. Literally brings tears to my eyes how perfect it would be. I've always ignored this vision bc I think to myself, what if I get bored?? But I realize I wouldn't because it's exactly what I've been looking for but I feared settling because I didn't know what inner peace felt like until I really did this visualization.
I have Blake's same core subconscious commitment. It's extremely liberating yet difficult because I can never be content, always seeking new avenues, new friendships, new expansion. I barely let people know me because I feel like I'm not free being committed to what "normal" relationships would be. Trying to keep a job with this type of soul yearning in my subconscious is like trying to survive day to day in complete opposition to the system. I call it going Rogue and being ultimately free.
I'm totally with you. That's why I hate signing up for a job. Who the hell knows if I want to do this shit 6 months from now. Let me know if you find a solution :P
Yes, this. I'm 20 and I've been struggling with make everything in my life consciously to safety when unconsciously I am commited to freedom and excitment
I'm a very responsible person so I force myself to go to a job I hate, but yeah I rebel against authorities of any kind, I always have troubles with my bosses (they love my work, they become dependent on me but they hate me, and I HATE being depended on). I honestly have no idea how to make my needs, wants and commitments match up with my reality. Been working on negative beliefs and doing in er work for so long, I'm still unfulfilled, unhappy, and not manifesting anything really.
4:00 You are so right! I was in a relationship where the other person was committed to their own happiness. When the times of unhappiness came, that person was unable to maintain the relationship. He chose safety! The universe works in wonderful ways. What a happy lesson thank you! I now have clarity!
This is probably the most powerful video you've made yet. I did the self-inquiry and found that my subconscious core commitment is LOVE. This makes so much sense for how I've lived my life up to this point. I want real love in my life and anything that isn't that does not stay in my life very long because I sabotage it or resist it. And when things externally aren't reflecting that love I desire I always go within and bring that love to myself. Had a few tears in my eyes coming to this realization. Thanks Teal!
When i tried it i just smiled uncontrollably and laughed for no reason.i haven't felt like that in a while it was liberating. Then an image of me goofing around came along. I think i need more comedy in my life
I realized that my core commitment is to faith that anything is possible, which 100% makes sense. Wow, this has opened up so many things for me. I started laughing out loud when this realization hit me. Thanks again Teal!
Oh my, Teal Swan, this totally hits the nail on the head. I'm a little stunned right now, but honestly, how much difference could this one single bit of conscious awareness and subsequently aligned choices and life decisions make in the fabric of our individual, relational and collective lives?!?!?!!
I did this exercise my subconscious commitment was survival. I asked myself what was my subconscious core commitment. Immediately I got the word survival and the feelings of barely just making It. And my heart was racing like I barely made it to something. Thank you Teal Swan .understanding myself more everyday because of you ❤
Having Blake go through the exercise was very helpful! I was just listening and thinking I'll do this when I have time later, but when you brought him into the scene, it made me try it along with him! What I felt was nervousness, fear, and a sense of liberation. Thanks Teal!!
That was a unique experience when I tried it. I have a core commitment to building connections, and I just got out of a marriage with a man who wanted nothing to do with people. We were always going in opposite directions. That's oddly enough, I realized yesterday my sister and I were alway going in opposite directions of each other to give each other a break from a controlling mother who was trying to pit us against each other. This also helps me understand why I have made other choices over the years that seemed inconsistent with my perceived best interest.
Out of every RUclipsr on RUclips you are the most eye opening thank for being an inspiration not only for me but for anyone else that watches your videos thank you
I feel like my core commitment is serving people.. This is why it is hard for me to find a job that I love.. or gives pleasure to me, because I think more about other people.
Maybe you are a strong 4th chakra personality, a helper/healer. I'm that way. I learned the very hard way that you need to fix yourself first before you can really help others. If all you can do is give them money and material things and physical health at best, it's not enough. It's like giving someone a fish instead of teaching them how to fish. If you keep giving them fishes, you can only help 1-2 people in their lifetime, but if you teach people how to fish, you can help thousands of people set for life during your lifetime.
You could be a teacher! An online teacher! Or or you could be an instructor... Or you could be a social worker ... Or you could help people get back onto their feet.... There are so many ways!!
My core commitment is to feel valued.. I am so happy I get to change this ❤ I can see now how it is linked to my attachment (OCD and addictions) issues and I decide to value myself and that that's enough. I want my core commitment to be that I am my best self at all time and so that I peacefully observe rather than get too involved emotionally and otherwise.
I can totally relate Blake. I even feel anxious when someone asks for my phone number or when checking my e-mail. Now I know just what my issue is. Thank you😊
I've had an aha moment while watching this video... I understand what my core commitment is and now my entire life makes sense.. Including the fact that I've manifested my dream life... Thank you so much teal for this video.. Opened my eyes.
This is refreshing! I’m so moved by the immediacy of this process. I feel multiple subconscious commitments when I did the process. I feel like I have both a fear based one and one infused with the love of my soul. It’s like the two are vying for play in my outer life. “Avoid abandonment at all costs” and “find and embody the truth at all costs”. Ha! It makes sense when I look at my life and see the two generate the ebb and flow, the contraction and the expansion I’ve experienced. Thank you Teal!
Dear Teal, How can we thank you for the core commitment you have suffered and manifested? You are an incredible human being, a beauty, and mystery. Blows me away every Saturday... I hope YOU have a good week!
My subconscious core life commitment was hiding to protect myself. It explains all my behaviours in life. Thank you! I'm not ready to change that commitment just yet. But one day I will
I realised my core subconscious commitment is to keep learning to become deserving of gud things in life(Narc parents) which is opp of my conscious commitment to just have a gud life. I’ve not been open to gud life, thinking there is more to learn/inner work to b done before I can receive a gud life! Now I realised, I’m born deserving & I don’t hav to prove my worth to anyone.
This was eye opening. Teal, life for me is quite litteraly changing since decided to commit to my spiritual growth and doing the work to make it a reality. These small steps have been getting bigger and my understanding of myself and others have been unfolding every single day.
I found out that my commitment is to GROWTH and expansion. I saw myself expanding to infinity, while holding unto everything I already have. But in my past, I have been willing to give up everything I have to expand further, even to the detriment of my loved ones. I am changing this now.
Surprisingly my commitment is to be stuck in life, entangled I even felt like I was choking myself with my own hands... The reason behind that was that my parents always pressured me to take action, to live a good life with a "good stable 9/5 job". I've always hated it everytime I feel pressured to do something. I just can't do it! I hate the idea of having a 9/5 job like my parents wanted for me so I unconsciously sabotaged myself into never getting passed interviews. Now I'm conscious and I'll do what I can to move on and change that commitment so I can have sucess on my career. Thank you Teal Swan.
When I went through my core commitment I saw myself in the semi cold night, the weather was still and the sky is as clear as glass, I’m looking directly into the beautiful dark-ish blue sky with hundreds of starts moving so ever slowly that it is not easy to notice their movement. There was someone or more near me, and I couldn’t see or know who it was. I just felt like I had somebody by near and that it felt good. I felt positively alone but also connected at the same time and more than most of my focus is on my appreciation for the beauty of the starts and the sky and how peaceful it felt. I loved it.
I found mine is reciprocity! That’s why I’m so mean back to people who have hurt me or mirror back to people what they’re doing! Thank you, Teal! I have been using it to defend myself so I can live the life I want. It doesn’t always help, though. I need to be more careful with it.
WOW, Teal, I cannot believe that you just explained to me THE MOST (or 2nd most) painful romantic relationship I have ever experienced so clearly and simply. Wow.
My commitment is to expansion and oneness. I want to grow, I want to learn, I want to gain multiple perspectives, I want to infuse my consciousness into higher states and see/understand more. I want to expand my energy and touch everything. I want to experience more. I see myself going beyond my body, my own limitations into more. Into the universe. I want to gain unity through expansion.
OK, this is very cool. I gave up a life with a beautiful, loving woman because of core values. Her’s, money = security...whatever the cost. Time and time again I witnessed this incisive approach to living in fear of having money. It didn’t bother her that her focus was on money, not living a life that had virtues of compassion and generosity. My values on the other hand focused on... Art = a life worth living. Money had nothing to do with it. That art could be visual, as in photographic art or musical as in the Bluegrass music I play. Neither one was of any interest to her. Even though I spent much time helping her to achieve her goals, my goals had NO part in her life. Subconscious Core Life Commitment makes total sense. It is so important. I see that now. It will be a top priority when I someday seek another to share my life.
Light Workxas, Yes, I can relate. My core commitment is 'authemticity'. When I've gotten into relationships I feel I need to change or improve in some manner. My authentic side (which is being creative and expressive via art) seems inadequate/impractical thus I attempt a more mainstream change....try to become something that's ultimately contrary to the real me. I become miserable. As a result the relationship become miserable for all parties involved. How can I NOT do this? I'm more "me" when alone yet crave a relationship. I'm self-tortured! Am I destined to be alone?
@@jeffreyminnie9194 I feel that way as well. So what do you do? I crave a close authentic soul bond but not at the cost of myself which is what I'm just ending of 6 years. But now what?
So i meditated before i did this exercise bc i was having difficulty clearing my mind etc. i kept in mind this "becoming" for a few hours in the day before i returned to asking to become what my core commitment was. I have never felt clairvoyance before until i did this! Eyes closed; I saw images, & my third eye area just physically fluttering. Like opening up like a sleepy 👁️ eye does. I accepted all of it, whatever was being shown and felt. It was so inspiring. I couldnt say no to this clairvoyance .. thank you Teal
I think I know my commitment already, been doing this kinda work with chakras and releasing blockages and stuff like that, taking responsibility of myself and all that. A healer. But this video.. I think this is what I've been looking for all this time in my search for how to even start to help anybody. I already figured people are individuals and that you need an approach that totally respects that. But I just didn't know where to start with the diagnosis. This is probably it. Thank you.
Thank you for the chance at reclaiming another piece of the “puzzle.” Amazing how much clarity this seemingly simple exercise brings. Very grateful. 🙏🏻
I feel like I'm sitting on top of a cliff and I'm at an extreme height but I'm fearless. I feel stable and free at the same time. No more confinement. Like I know what I want and nothing negative anyone has said about me matters. There's no judgement. I feel powerful and a sense of openness.
Oh my Goodness...... Teal!!!! You are so undescribably great!!! It is not even funny! I am totally speechless as well extremely grateful and in absolute awe. Thank you so much for this video and for giving us the chance to finally bring awareness to our core life commitment so that we can breathe, eat, sleep integrity. I cannot put into words how grateful I am to have come across you. God bless you all the way and more!
this is brilliant Teal. I always though my core commitment is to truth and now doing this simple exercise, i felt its relaxation, pure flow and relaxation, being, passivity and explains all the stress i have because I am doing everything else, fighting a crusade when all I want to relax.
Just doing this exercise, I feel my core commitment is freedom and connection. This feels on some level conflicting. Thanks for opening up this part of me I didn't even realize that it is something to be worked on, I'm gonna be thinking about this for the rest of the day 🤪
My commitment is to make things better. I saw art that someone else had made, and me remolding it to work better. That can come off as dissatisfaction and lack of appreciation. It gives me so much joy to “fix” things and customize them. Fine enough for objects, but got to be careful not to do it with people lol
Oh my GOSH I want to know what my subconscious core commitment is.... I want to consciously see my core subconsious commitment really .... I'll need to watch again... great video thanks Teal.
Hey guys, have many people had ‘nothing’ come up for them? For some reason a big part of me does not allow me to see anything, feel or hear anything, i just perceive the back of my eyelids the whole time, I am able to clear my mind of random thoughts to try to allow higher awareness to come through, but nothing really comes through in these types of meditations, and when something does come through, it looks faint and far away… insights do sometimes come through as a ‘knowing’ however. I experienced deep heartache n disappointment growing up and one of my biggest things was feeling forgotten about I guess you could say, my womb is now numb which I’m working to sensitise, and I experienced severe concussion 7yrs ago and my mind has recovered mostly, but I wonder how much that experience still affects me today.. Anyway, i just wanted to surrender these thoughts out there.
I am committed to healing my emotional pain, improving my mental and emotional health, helping others who are dealing or dealt with the same problems that I have through ways that have worked for me, using my natural musical and artistic abilities to express myself, and trying to ease tension and bring compassion into others lives
My words that came up are freedom, free to create, free to follow my inspirations in the moment. Free to explore my creativity, free to be me. Lots of free floating feelings. Like a butterfly that kind of flutters around as it chooses. Never feeling confined or owned or restricted. Makes sense why my parents can not force me to choose an 9-5 job, the need to be independent and be my own boss is so my commitment. Now how on earth can I get other people to accept my commitment. I defiantly do not want to change this commitment. I have tried many times to follow a different mold but it never works ever. Thanks Teal now I am more reassured of what I kind of always knew but it's so hard to get others to stop trying to change me.
TEAL! I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all the insight you share, and for making these videos! You've helped me more than than I could ever express, and your teachings have gotten me through my toughest times! You've helped so many people, and we love you so much! Thank you! 💕💕
I saw at first clouds and trees from a far height and then I felt warmth in my heart area and then heard love and commitment before I felt like I got hit with a gust of air and started crying. I’m guessing that means mine is love and commitment. Makes sense when I think about the people I’m with and how I was raised and how painful it’s been trying to be one way and my subconscious feels a different way.
I did this exercise and felt like my core unconcious commitment was to freedom. And it creates tons of obstacles and uncomfortable situations, but I find that since I don't know what I want my core commitment to be consciously I don't chose anything therefore freedom sticks as my core commitment and around and around we go.
I just did this and the word that came out to me was "feeling alive" with images and smells from times I felt like I was truly living and not just surviving. Cool breeze on my face, looking at the stars, the scent of autumn coming. My commitment was to doing things that make me feel alive. That actually makes a lot of sense.
This was awesome!! For a not so expresive person, I think I saw him change colors or something when he understood the concept. I am smiling becouse I found this video after 3 days trying to figure out why was I sabotaging myself with my new job. I finally resolved it a few hours ago (I did a bit of catching up with documentation and emails), and this was like instant validation. Now I can let the whole issue go completely and have a good night sleep, thank you Teal 🤩
I’m subconsciously committed to self abandonment. Grateful to be aware of this and therefore align it with what I want to be consciously committed to. Thank you, Teal!
My subcon commitment has been seeking closeness and being seen. Seen really meant desired. I desired 30 yr olds at 4 yrs old (limerence, projected desire). With this 1 video i tuned in and realize how terribly this has served me. It made me desperate for crumbs, believing im not worthy of so much nurturing attention and love. Now i can consciously connect to my sense of self to feel connection. That feels so relieving and possible. Thank u for the clarity. Ps i also relate to not being reachable thru phone hahaha. Im very on board w its implicactions too 😂
My subconscious commitment is personal freedom and independence. Yes this stems from traumatic experiences. I haven't decided whether or not to change this to a conscious commitment or not. Thank you for helping me to figure that out. Explains a lot.
How do I change my core commitment if it's not what I want to focusing on? Is it as simple as figuring out why I have it and then choosing a different one? I feel like I'm missing something. Thank you for the video it was very insightful and helpful. Any tips or suggestions in regards to my question would very much appreciated.
So I tried this process, and discovered that my core commitment was to my higher self and It felt kind a like a river, but then when you said that a lot of times your core commitment is more negative I decided to dig a little deeper and figured out that another core commitment is people pleasing I just can't stand it when people are upset with me, so you can see how these two conflict now I'm just not sure exactly what to do about it, but probably more shadow work
i finally understand what my issue has been for all these years. i grew up in a very controlling household where i had no real sense of autonomy. i never felt like anything i did was good enough. i've always had issues in school getting to class on time and getting assignments in on time, watching youtube videos instead of doing homework. i still struggle with getting to work on time. i slack off at my job and my bosses yell at me. i realize i had a subconscious commitment to criticism and escape. in order to grow i need to commit to being self-sufficient and dependable which results in me feeling more confident and self-actualized.
My commitment is having a drive!! I want to be strong and not be afraid to make a difference in others lives and my own life. I want to be healthy and be an inspiration to myself and for others by practicing effective techniques such as going to school, working out, harmonizing with others and watching more Teal Swan videos!! ;D
Omg I did this and all I saw was a body on a card like you would see when someone is studying anatomy and physiology and then while I got this imagine I started to feel my whole body filling up with gold yellow light I was so light and warm 😃 I’m not sure what I was experiencing but I felt like myself I felt free of my anxieties and worries and I just felt exactly how I want to feel for the rest of my life. No insecurities nothing. So now I crave this feeling and experience but idk what my life core commitment is because I wasn’t sure what I was experiencing 😩
Wow I didn't think I could do that just like that, but after looking at the feelings and images coming up I could actually tell and I'm surprised because I always thought it was freedom, but it's individuality! So I'm really surprised, but it makes soooo much sense! Because I was sabotaging my job although it was giving me a lot of freedom, so I couldn't understand what's wrong. Now I do. Almost crying now!
It's so interesting to watch this unfold: the moment Blake came in you can tell that they had an argument before and that he honestly doesn't want to do what he is supposed to do
Wow. I sensed that every "failed" civilian job I had after leaving the Army life was due to desiring to experience more freedom, but my fearful ego self wasn't ready to let go of the comfort zone called the, "9 to 5 job" that provides a meager amount of monetary security. However COMMA, after experiencing the spiraling down of a total of four jobs within Sedona JUST within a year, I finally let go of the need to continue forcing myself to do what general society says I should do to survive. I permanently deleted my indeed resume----which wasn't easy to do since it was time-consuming to input all the data online---and I've chosen to take it day by day while following my inner guidance, as to who to Be and what to do without worries about the future. I realized that I'd much rather thrive than merely survive in this world. By the way Blake, you crack me up with your seemingly uncomfortable, yet, innocent child-like and goofy non-verbal cues! ^_^ I do highly respect and admire your transparent honesty, and if it's true that your core life commitment is about going with the flow and simply Being a free-spirit who loves to explore and experience Life without limitations, then that's awesome! Perhaps you don't resonate with cell phones (that gives off low vibrations) and having to often be there for others' needs, wants, and expectations. Unconditional Love goes both ways, to self and others, and I've learned to develop healthy boundaries within relationships. Thank you again Teal, Blake and rest of team for your gifts to humanity and beyond. I'm so grateful for your wonderful existence. Our world needs more highly evolved, loving, and wise Beings like you. I wish you various forms of happy abundance. :-)
Wonderful topic... I see that I am unconsciously sabotaging my success. Working my ass off to make stuff happen and at the same time making decisions that keep me exactly where I am ... No 'effortlessness', but hard work, almost force to move in the direction that desire to develop... which might actually not be what I desire.... I need a whole recalibration aligning my actions with the subconscious direction... haha... thanks Teal. Looking forward to more alignment and effortlessness...
Lmaoo, my core commitment and Blake's core commitment is absolutely the same. I can't even count how many times I've missed people's calls, left my phone in another room just because I didn't want to deal with other people's problems or do what other people want me to be.
Because he also does the same things as me as in not answer his calls. I don't know about him, but growing up in a home that would do anything to isolate me because my parents were scared of the outside world, there's nothing I desire more than freedom. And anything that restricts that, I end up destroying.
laborbabe oh, okay if you look at it this way.... Freedom is a very big topic and I just can't imagine a single person not wanting freedom at his/her core but anyway.... I actually got an idea that Blake's core commitment was also smth else, no? That's also interesting to me what other people think when someone doesn't answer their call because my first thoughts are usually very simple- the person can't or the person's hands are busy or smth else is going on. No big deal. Unless it is an emergency then I'd be calling every phone possible to reach out. Like I for ex., don't even have my cell on me 24/7. I can leave it on the table to charge and go into another room to do smth. So, of course, unless someone else picks up my phone for me I may not even register that there was a msg or call depending on the notification tone sound it currently is. Also. Busy person does not mean that he/she is also not thoughtful of others. I know that for ex, if i sent a msg and have no reply - that is also a reply. The person may just not know what to say! And i complete get that!
Smth tells me that resenting a phone and not answering it on purpose might has a lot to do with other underlying issues. Otherwise it would not bother those who's calls are left continuously unanswered.
I have three different commitments but I rate them in order of importance. My actual main commitment is freedom, my second commitment after that is safety and the last is connection
I never really noticed it before now, but my conscious and unconscious commitments are very conflicting, almost perfect opposites. My subconscious commitment is towards safety and autonomy, wheras my conscious commitment is towards connection and intimacy. I find it very hard to make choices that satisfy both, for example I may choose an occupation that keeps me safe and gives me freedom, but that tends to starves me of connection. I may seek connection through other means but this often makes me feel very unsafe and takes away my freedom. I don't know how to reconcile these aspects that pull in opposite directions. It is making my life very difficult and I feel like I can't win regardless of what I do or don't do :-(
what if you found a job that met all your needs of connection, freedom and safety or found a someone who met all those needs. you need to let both those aspects know that they can exist in harmony but first you must seek and figure out how :) the world is your oyster
Have you tried merging your two core commitments in your mind? Like just merging the two feelings together? I did that a few years ago with my need to be in a committed relationship and my need for adventure and freedom. The result was that I got BOTH rolled into one :)
Saaaaame. But I belive its possible to integrate all of it. I think u are mixing connection with attachment. Attachment freaks out me, cos in my life I was too controlled by my parents. I hate ppl that are anxiously attached. I mean, not hate but I cant build friendship with them. Its so overwhelming putting boundaries and watching them being crushed by it. But I have, for example, 1 close male friend that is so accepting. He makes me feel so safe and with sense of belonging. I have cried in front of him and we built levels of intimacy but we don't speak over social networks nor the phone. We see each other once in a week and that's all. He is securely attached. I feel connected to him strongly and im not feared by deep talks about feelings, triggers, thoughts, psychoanalising myself in front of him, etc. But with others, it is hard. You need to find quality people to surround urself with. They are so rare. U need to be present and listen to every word so u can deliberately choose and be aware. I outpaced all my friends except the one. I keep meeting new ones and waiting for few of old ones that have potential to awaken. It takes so much time. But this one dude gives me hope they exist.
"I lost my phone the other day, it was great!" Now I understand my core commitment is freedom :D Thank you so much Teal
i do this too, people think i'm nuts but i LOVE IT
Any updates/advice for someone doing this too? And working towards this type of energy :)
YOU ARE my actual therapist. My real therapist sucks, she's nothing but a mute white wall. I always bring you up cause everything I learn is from you and not from her! Thank you for being there for us every single Saturday. Your regularity gives me also a sense of safety that I have not in my regular life.
THANK YOU, TEAL !
Hi C!
2 reasons:
1. I'm tired of explaining my whole story from the beginning again and going through the "getting to know each other" process with a new therapist again. It would just bore me so very much. I'm done with therapy. Was my whole life in therapy and it has always felt like this (useless) therapist would be my last one. I'm nothing but bored with telling my issues over and over again. By repeating them over and over again, I also strengthen this neuronal wired pathway in my brain! I'll stuck in my past for ever. It's time to move on, time for a new begin. Time to connect new neuronal pathways, good/healthy and happy ones and strengthen them by repeating them over and over. You know what I mean?
This actual therapy doesn't motivate me, it doesn't help me to move forward, not at all. It's nothing but remaining in the past. Super senseless.
2. Because I've none in my life besides her, I've become emotional dependent on her. Although I don't benefit from her, it's still one hour in a week where I've got the opportunity to talk to someone. In my real life,no one talks to me, all are afraid of a "deeper talk".
Hi Luticia I think what everyone in our situation needs would be someone who just gives us the compassion and love that whe never got so whe come home to ourselves and feel safe and secure in this world. Problem is where could whe get that from?
I feel you and get you
o my gosh! I love deeper talks. What boring people you must know…
luticia 1) you don't have to explain your story to the new terapist 2) get a Teal Tribe! :-)
My core commitment is to learn, research and discover. Thats why I couldn’t wait to get home from work and read all I want, cuz there was nothing new to learn on job, just doing same work😑 Thats why I quit hahaha, I felt it like a waste of my time. I need job where I can learn and improve. That gives me fulfillment.
This makes ALOT of sense. People always revert to what they are truly committed to when they have no other choice.Absolutely.
I did this and I saw myself, standing on a hill, surrounded by nature, overlooking a sun soaked valley with bird flying by. I felt strength and peace, and total connection and love with myself, and with the world... I work as a gardener, my wife is a midwife, my kids are vegan homeshoolers, we are working towards building a permaculture farm... wow!!!!
Me feeling hopeless, checking RUclips
Teal Swan: LIFE PURPOSE HERE
Haha same
I saw myself standing in my grandmothers garden as a child. I had a sence of "I'm nurturing" (the flowers/an animal, something undefined). I felt like somehow connecting my heart with the earth I placed the flowers in. At the same time I felt like I'm beeing nurtured, taken care of by my grandma. I felt very safe, but like there was a lack of love and care I couldn't fill. I desperatly needed it filled but it can't be. I try to get something from the earth, hugs, the people I love. But it's not enough. I know that I saw myself here shortly before a time of great trauma. I think this great need for love and care that is naturally not given to me as much as my trauma demands caused me to develop a core commitment to nurturing others. I give everything, subconciously deeply craving what I'm giving. This had me ending up in a few very unhealthy, damaging relationships. I do feel like I'm doing a healthy job at nurture in non romantic relationships though. It's my honest desire to help and give love. I just don't know how to solve that intense need for an impossible amount of nurture. It's like something inside of me is craving to be a baby again.
Teal helped me understand something i think you may want to look into... we quite literally NEED out needs met before being able to go onto the next developmental stage. So if baby needs were NOT met. Baby you is screaming and going to do everything to get that need met before evolving to toddler... baby your inner baby. You had to grow up too fast if you werent having needs met and so- theres a split within. Adult protector and small baby. Then a 3rd higher self perspective loving and coexisting as another. Look into why and if you feel you deserve to be babied if thats your true need within. Its okay to be there and need that. Ask others to help you with that too once you accept that about yourself so you feel safe enough to let that part out around another. Its okay to be there. I feel you. And you will be able to find those who are open minded and loving to help you integrate and be one with that part to one day (although not the intention- have intention just to be there and meet the needs of your baby) you will grow out to toddler, bigger child, teen, etc if these werent healed
@laluna922 What you are doing for others is beautiful and you are appreciated for that. Im sorry your needs weren’t met when they should have been but despite the pain you are persevering and meeting the needs of others and the universe as a whole and that is powerful. Your gift will bring you and your loved ones a brighter future so keep up the good work. Thank you ❤️
Wow. I realized my core commitment is inner peace. I've been searching for it all my life and when I envision and feel into the feeling I see a cottage in redwoods with a warm fire in the autumn. Literally brings tears to my eyes how perfect it would be. I've always ignored this vision bc I think to myself, what if I get bored?? But I realize I wouldn't because it's exactly what I've been looking for but I feared settling because I didn't know what inner peace felt like until I really did this visualization.
I have Blake's same core subconscious commitment. It's extremely liberating yet difficult because I can never be content, always seeking new avenues, new friendships, new expansion. I barely let people know me because I feel like I'm not free being committed to what "normal" relationships would be. Trying to keep a job with this type of soul yearning in my subconscious is like trying to survive day to day in complete opposition to the system. I call it going Rogue and being ultimately free.
I'm totally with you. That's why I hate signing up for a job. Who the hell knows if I want to do this shit 6 months from now. Let me know if you find a solution :P
same
Yes, this. I'm 20 and I've been struggling with make everything in my life consciously to safety when unconsciously I am commited to freedom and excitment
I'm a very responsible person so I force myself to go to a job I hate, but yeah I rebel against authorities of any kind, I always have troubles with my bosses (they love my work, they become dependent on me but they hate me, and I HATE being depended on).
I honestly have no idea how to make my needs, wants and commitments match up with my reality. Been working on negative beliefs and doing in er work for so long, I'm still unfulfilled, unhappy, and not manifesting anything really.
Thank you for making me feel connected.
4:00 You are so right! I was in a relationship where the other person was committed to their own happiness. When the times of unhappiness came, that person was unable to maintain the relationship. He chose safety! The universe works in wonderful ways. What a happy lesson thank you! I now have clarity!
Teal, I can`t stop listening and studying your videos, you are helping me so much! Thanks for this amazing work.
Same here!
This is probably the most powerful video you've made yet. I did the self-inquiry and found that my subconscious core commitment is LOVE. This makes so much sense for how I've lived my life up to this point. I want real love in my life and anything that isn't that does not stay in my life very long because I sabotage it or resist it. And when things externally aren't reflecting that love I desire I always go within and bring that love to myself. Had a few tears in my eyes coming to this realization. Thanks Teal!
When i tried it i just smiled uncontrollably and laughed for no reason.i haven't felt like that in a while it was liberating. Then an image of me goofing around came along. I think i need more comedy in my life
Same!! Yesssss I love that core commitment 😁
Same! I kinda cried!!
I realized that my core commitment is to faith that anything is possible, which 100% makes sense. Wow, this has opened up so many things for me. I started laughing out loud when this realization hit me. Thanks again Teal!
Oh my, Teal Swan, this totally hits the nail on the head. I'm a little stunned right now, but honestly, how much difference could this one single bit of conscious awareness and subsequently aligned choices and life decisions make in the fabric of our individual, relational and collective lives?!?!?!!
I did this exercise my subconscious commitment was survival. I asked myself what was my subconscious core commitment. Immediately I got the word survival and the feelings of barely just making It. And my heart was racing like I barely made it to something. Thank you Teal Swan .understanding myself more everyday because of you ❤
Having Blake go through the exercise was very helpful! I was just listening and thinking I'll do this when I have time later, but when you brought him into the scene, it made me try it along with him! What I felt was nervousness, fear, and a sense of liberation. Thanks Teal!!
That was a unique experience when I tried it. I have a core commitment to building connections, and I just got out of a marriage with a man who wanted nothing to do with people. We were always going in opposite directions. That's oddly enough, I realized yesterday my sister and I were alway going in opposite directions of each other to give each other a break from a controlling mother who was trying to pit us against each other. This also helps me understand why I have made other choices over the years that seemed inconsistent with my perceived best interest.
The ability to experience new things - sights, sounds, perspectives. Sensual, mental, spiritual, physical exploration.
Out of every RUclipsr on RUclips you are the most eye opening thank for being an inspiration not only for me but for anyone else that watches your videos thank you
I feel like my core commitment is serving people..
This is why it is hard for me to find a job that I love.. or gives pleasure to me, because I think more about other people.
Maybe you might consider serving yourself more, Diana. You owe it to the cells in your body.
Maybe you are a strong 4th chakra personality, a helper/healer. I'm that way. I learned the very hard way that you need to fix yourself first before you can really help others. If all you can do is give them money and material things and physical health at best, it's not enough. It's like giving someone a fish instead of teaching them how to fish. If you keep giving them fishes, you can only help 1-2 people in their lifetime, but if you teach people how to fish, you can help thousands of people set for life during your lifetime.
You could be a teacher! An online teacher!
Or or you could be an instructor...
Or you could be a social worker
...
Or you could help people get back onto their feet....
There are so many ways!!
I see crisp air, cliff, birds, nature, fresh spring morning in the mountain, nature, river, flow. Light feeling and flying 🏞
My core commitment is to feel valued.. I am so happy I get to change this ❤ I can see now how it is linked to my attachment (OCD and addictions) issues and I decide to value myself and that that's enough. I want my core commitment to be that I am my best self at all time and so that I peacefully observe rather than get too involved emotionally and otherwise.
I can totally relate Blake. I even feel anxious when someone asks for my phone number or when checking my e-mail. Now I know just what my issue is. Thank you😊
I've had an aha moment while watching this video... I understand what my core commitment is and now my entire life makes sense.. Including the fact that I've manifested my dream life... Thank you so much teal for this video.. Opened my eyes.
This is refreshing! I’m so moved by the immediacy of this process. I feel multiple subconscious commitments when I did the process. I feel like I have both a fear based one and one infused with the love of my soul. It’s like the two are vying for play in my outer life. “Avoid abandonment at all costs” and “find and embody the truth at all costs”. Ha! It makes sense when I look at my life and see the two generate the ebb and flow, the contraction and the expansion I’ve experienced. Thank you Teal!
Dear Teal, How can we thank you for the core commitment you have suffered and manifested? You are an incredible human being, a beauty, and mystery. Blows me away every Saturday... I hope YOU have a good week!
My subconscious core life commitment was hiding to protect myself. It explains all my behaviours in life. Thank you! I'm not ready to change that commitment just yet. But one day I will
I realised my core subconscious commitment is to keep learning to become deserving of gud things in life(Narc parents) which is opp of my conscious commitment to just have a gud life. I’ve not been open to gud life, thinking there is more to learn/inner work to b done before I can receive a gud life! Now I realised, I’m born deserving & I don’t hav to prove my worth to anyone.
This was eye opening. Teal, life for me is quite litteraly changing since decided to commit to my spiritual growth and doing the work to make it a reality. These small steps have been getting bigger and my understanding of myself and others have been unfolding every single day.
All I receive is mother. I’m committed to being a mother subconsciously and I did a ritual for a month to become a better mother
I found out that my commitment is to GROWTH and expansion. I saw myself expanding to infinity, while holding unto everything I already have. But in my past, I have been willing to give up everything I have to expand further, even to the detriment of my loved ones. I am changing this now.
great insight
Surprisingly my commitment is to be stuck in life, entangled I even felt like I was choking myself with my own hands...
The reason behind that was that my parents always pressured me to take action, to live a good life with a "good stable 9/5 job". I've always hated it everytime I feel pressured to do something. I just can't do it!
I hate the idea of having a 9/5 job like my parents wanted for me so I unconsciously sabotaged myself into never getting passed interviews.
Now I'm conscious and I'll do what I can to move on and change that commitment so I can have sucess on my career. Thank you Teal Swan.
When I went through my core commitment I saw myself in the semi cold night, the weather was still and the sky is as clear as glass, I’m looking directly into the beautiful dark-ish blue sky with hundreds of starts moving so ever slowly that it is not easy to notice their movement. There was someone or more near me, and I couldn’t see or know who it was. I just felt like I had somebody by near and that it felt good. I felt positively alone but also connected at the same time and more than most of my focus is on my appreciation for the beauty of the starts and the sky and how peaceful it felt. I loved it.
I found mine is reciprocity! That’s why I’m so mean back to people who have hurt me or mirror back to people what they’re doing! Thank you, Teal! I have been using it to defend myself so I can live the life I want. It doesn’t always help, though. I need to be more careful with it.
that was interesting
WOW, Teal, I cannot believe that you just explained to me THE MOST (or 2nd most) painful romantic relationship I have ever experienced so clearly and simply. Wow.
Especially Pure
Cool name
Interesting statement
I’m currently in that exact relationship. It helps knowing that it’s not just me. It isn’t me, our commitments are totally opposite
My commitment is to expansion and oneness. I want to grow, I want to learn, I want to gain multiple perspectives, I want to infuse my consciousness into higher states and see/understand more. I want to expand my energy and touch everything. I want to experience more. I see myself going beyond my body, my own limitations into more. Into the universe. I want to gain unity through expansion.
OK, this is very cool. I gave up a life with a beautiful, loving woman because of core values. Her’s, money = security...whatever the cost. Time and time again I witnessed this incisive approach to living in fear of having money. It didn’t bother her that her focus was on money, not living a life that had virtues of compassion and generosity. My values on the other hand focused on... Art = a life worth living. Money had nothing to do with it. That art could be visual, as in photographic art or musical as in the Bluegrass music I play. Neither one was of any interest to her. Even though I spent much time helping her to achieve her goals, my goals had NO part in her life. Subconscious Core Life Commitment makes total sense. It is so important. I see that now. It will be a top priority when I someday seek another to share my life.
Light Workxas,
Yes, I can relate. My core commitment is 'authemticity'. When I've gotten into relationships I feel I need to change or improve in some manner. My authentic side (which is being creative and expressive via art) seems inadequate/impractical thus I attempt a more mainstream change....try to become something that's ultimately contrary to the real me. I become miserable. As a result the relationship become miserable for all parties involved.
How can I NOT do this? I'm more "me" when alone yet crave a relationship. I'm self-tortured!
Am I destined to be alone?
love this!
I had the same experience as you
@@jeffreyminnie9194 I feel that way as well. So what do you do? I crave a close authentic soul bond but not at the cost of myself which is what I'm just ending of 6 years. But now what?
It didn't take long for my answer to come. When I asked myself, "What is my unconscious commitment?" I answered right away, "Justice!"
That's actually projection.
I don't think that's what subconscious wants... As justice doesn't exist in the universe.... Only balance does....
So i meditated before i did this exercise bc i was having difficulty clearing my mind etc. i kept in mind this "becoming" for a few hours in the day before i returned to asking to become what my core commitment was. I have never felt clairvoyance before until i did this! Eyes closed; I saw images, & my third eye area just physically fluttering. Like opening up like a sleepy 👁️ eye does. I accepted all of it, whatever was being shown and felt. It was so inspiring. I couldnt say no to this clairvoyance .. thank you Teal
Blake is so innocently purehearted: no match for Teal's brilliant intense genius, yet his heart has progressed further🌱🕊️
My commitment is about true connection and experiencing unconditional love with my partner and for life.
I think I know my commitment already, been doing this kinda work with chakras and releasing blockages and stuff like that, taking responsibility of myself and all that. A healer. But this video.. I think this is what I've been looking for all this time in my search for how to even start to help anybody. I already figured people are individuals and that you need an approach that totally respects that. But I just didn't know where to start with the diagnosis. This is probably it. Thank you.
Each time I watch your videos I become more and more indebted to you.
Thank you Teal. Experience of vastness and stillness. Commitment to be this in experiencing life-
Thank you for the chance at reclaiming another piece of the “puzzle.” Amazing how much clarity this seemingly simple exercise brings. Very grateful. 🙏🏻
I feel like I'm sitting on top of a cliff and I'm at an extreme height but I'm fearless. I feel stable and free at the same time. No more confinement. Like I know what I want and nothing negative anyone has said about me matters. There's no judgement. I feel powerful and a sense of openness.
I didn't expect to see Blake. I'm wondering what happened afterwards. That was pretty bold move. Wow. Great job 💙
Oh my Goodness...... Teal!!!! You are so undescribably great!!! It is not even funny! I am totally speechless as well extremely grateful and in absolute awe. Thank you so much for this video and for giving us the chance to finally bring awareness to our core life commitment so that we can breathe, eat, sleep integrity. I cannot put into words how grateful I am to have come across you. God bless you all the way and more!
this is brilliant Teal. I always though my core commitment is to truth and now doing this simple exercise, i felt its relaxation, pure flow and relaxation, being, passivity and explains all the stress i have because I am doing everything else, fighting a crusade when all I want to relax.
Just doing this exercise, I feel my core commitment is freedom and connection. This feels on some level conflicting. Thanks for opening up this part of me I didn't even realize that it is something to be worked on, I'm gonna be thinking about this for the rest of the day 🤪
i don't know why i burst in tears every time i finish one of her videos maybe cuz i can't handle her beauty
yoseverse maybe because she makes you aware of a lack you feel subconsciously
You may be happy to find truth. Something that resonates and helps you on your journey.
depends whether it is happy tears or sad tears.
My commitment is to make things better. I saw art that someone else had made, and me remolding it to work better. That can come off as dissatisfaction and lack of appreciation. It gives me so much joy to “fix” things and customize them. Fine enough for objects, but got to be careful not to do it with people lol
Oh my GOSH I want to know what my subconscious core commitment is.... I want to consciously see my core subconsious commitment really .... I'll need to watch again... great video thanks Teal.
Hey guys, have many people had ‘nothing’ come up for them? For some reason a big part of me does not allow me to see anything, feel or hear anything, i just perceive the back of my eyelids the whole time, I am able to clear my mind of random thoughts to try to allow higher awareness to come through, but nothing really comes through in these types of meditations, and when something does come through, it looks faint and far away… insights do sometimes come through as a ‘knowing’ however.
I experienced deep heartache n disappointment growing up and one of my biggest things was feeling forgotten about I guess you could say, my womb is now numb which I’m working to sensitise, and I experienced severe concussion 7yrs ago and my mind has recovered mostly, but I wonder how much that experience still affects me today..
Anyway, i just wanted to surrender these thoughts out there.
love u teal and blake.. thank u very much i'm so grateful for ur work..
My core commitment is to not getting hurt. I see where this kept and still keeps me from deep relationships or letting people into my life 😢
I am amazed how comments are smart and how many people understand what is here said. Every video is new way.
I am committed to healing my emotional pain, improving my mental and emotional health, helping others who are dealing or dealt with the same problems that I have through ways that have worked for me, using my natural musical and artistic abilities to express myself, and trying to ease tension and bring compassion into others lives
Oh and passing my college classes without doubting myself because I've learned that I am capable.
THIS VIDEO OPENED MY EYES....SUCH A BIG BREAKTHROUGH
THANK YOU
Teal is opening my eyes! My entire life! How crazy is this.
My words that came up are freedom, free to create, free to follow my inspirations in the moment. Free to explore my creativity, free to be me. Lots of free floating feelings. Like a butterfly that kind of flutters around as it chooses. Never feeling confined or owned or restricted. Makes sense why my parents can not force me to choose an 9-5 job, the need to be independent and be my own boss is so my commitment. Now how on earth can I get other people to accept my commitment. I defiantly do not want to change this commitment. I have tried many times to follow a different mold but it never works ever. Thanks Teal now I am more reassured of what I kind of always knew but it's so hard to get others to stop trying to change me.
I love Blake! :'D he's too kind, always willing to help Teal or anyone for that sake.
Just don't phone him 😄
I hope he learns to feel confident and at peace about taking time for himself.
@@robertsutherland6167 LOL
TEAL! I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all the insight you share, and for making these videos! You've helped me more than than I could ever express, and your teachings have gotten me through my toughest times! You've helped so many people, and we love you so much! Thank you! 💕💕
I saw at first clouds and trees from a far height and then I felt warmth in my heart area and then heard love and commitment before I felt like I got hit with a gust of air and started crying. I’m guessing that means mine is love and commitment.
Makes sense when I think about the people I’m with and how I was raised and how painful it’s been trying to be one way and my subconscious feels a different way.
So important. Thank you Teal. Loved to see how you and Blake work.
I did this exercise and felt like my core unconcious commitment was to freedom. And it creates tons of obstacles and uncomfortable situations, but I find that since I don't know what I want my core commitment to be consciously I don't chose anything therefore freedom sticks as my core commitment and around and around we go.
I just did this and the word that came out to me was "feeling alive" with images and smells from times I felt like I was truly living and not just surviving. Cool breeze on my face, looking at the stars, the scent of autumn coming. My commitment was to doing things that make me feel alive. That actually makes a lot of sense.
This was awesome!! For a not so expresive person, I think I saw him change colors or something when he understood the concept.
I am smiling becouse I found this video after 3 days trying to figure out why was I sabotaging myself with my new job. I finally resolved it a few hours ago (I did a bit of catching up with documentation and emails), and this was like instant validation. Now I can let the whole issue go completely and have a good night sleep, thank you Teal 🤩
I’m subconsciously committed to self abandonment. Grateful to be aware of this and therefore align it with what I want to be consciously committed to. Thank you, Teal!
How did that come about? (Have people treated you so unkindly that you wanted to shipwreck yourself?)
My subcon commitment has been seeking closeness and being seen. Seen really meant desired. I desired 30 yr olds at 4 yrs old (limerence, projected desire). With this 1 video i tuned in and realize how terribly this has served me. It made me desperate for crumbs, believing im not worthy of so much nurturing attention and love. Now i can consciously connect to my sense of self to feel connection. That feels so relieving and possible. Thank u for the clarity.
Ps i also relate to not being reachable thru phone hahaha. Im very on board w its implicactions too 😂
My subconscious commitment is personal freedom and independence. Yes this stems from traumatic experiences. I haven't decided whether or not to change this to a conscious commitment or not. Thank you for helping me to figure that out. Explains a lot.
teal swan does it again!
Probably one of the best episodes of Teals I've seen
How do I change my core commitment if it's not what I want to focusing on? Is it as simple as figuring out why I have it and then choosing a different one? I feel like I'm missing something. Thank you for the video it was very insightful and helpful. Any tips or suggestions in regards to my question would very much appreciated.
Teal, im a big fan of the no response needed, text message. Your aura is much more influencial then most. We men are weak when it comes to emotions.
Wow!! This just NAILED it for me. I was ready to hear this, finally. I can't thank you enough for your work and your honesty.
love her workshop so much
On of my favorites. Thank you
So I tried this process, and discovered that my core commitment was to my higher self and It felt kind a like a river, but then when you said that a lot of times your core commitment is more negative I decided to dig a little deeper and figured out that another core commitment is people pleasing I just can't stand it when people are upset with me, so you can see how these two conflict now I'm just not sure exactly what to do about it, but probably more shadow work
Wow this foreshadowed a lot
i finally understand what my issue has been for all these years. i grew up in a very controlling household where i had no real sense of autonomy. i never felt like anything i did was good enough. i've always had issues in school getting to class on time and getting assignments in on time, watching youtube videos instead of doing homework. i still struggle with getting to work on time. i slack off at my job and my bosses yell at me. i realize i had a subconscious commitment to criticism and escape. in order to grow i need to commit to being self-sufficient and dependable which results in me feeling more confident and self-actualized.
My commitment is having a drive!! I want to be strong and not be afraid to make a difference in others lives and my own life. I want to be healthy and be an inspiration to myself and for others by practicing effective techniques such as going to school, working out, harmonizing with others and watching more Teal Swan videos!! ;D
Omg I did this and all I saw was a body on a card like you would see when someone is studying anatomy and physiology and then while I got this imagine I started to feel my whole body filling up with gold yellow light I was so light and warm 😃 I’m not sure what I was experiencing but I felt like myself I felt free of my anxieties and worries and I just felt exactly how I want to feel for the rest of my life. No insecurities nothing. So now I crave this feeling and experience but idk what my life core commitment is because I wasn’t sure what I was experiencing 😩
Bazinga! I think this is my favorite so far 💖
thank you so much teal for changing the world
This is so applicable to a relationship with a narcopath & the abandonment of self that causes so much pain.
Thank you so much for your inspiring guidance!
Wow I didn't think I could do that just like that, but after looking at the feelings and images coming up I could actually tell and I'm surprised because I always thought it was freedom, but it's individuality! So I'm really surprised, but it makes soooo much sense! Because I was sabotaging my job although it was giving me a lot of freedom, so I couldn't understand what's wrong. Now I do. Almost crying now!
It's so interesting to watch this unfold: the moment Blake came in you can tell that they had an argument before and that he honestly doesn't want to do what he is supposed to do
Teal! Your work is so good! Authentic, to the core. Your work is of so much value! Grateful
Wow. I sensed that every "failed" civilian job I had after leaving the Army life was due to desiring to experience more freedom, but my fearful ego self wasn't ready to let go of the comfort zone called the, "9 to 5 job" that provides a meager amount of monetary security. However COMMA, after experiencing the spiraling down of a total of four jobs within Sedona JUST within a year, I finally let go of the need to continue forcing myself to do what general society says I should do to survive.
I permanently deleted my indeed resume----which wasn't easy to do since it was time-consuming to input all the data online---and I've chosen to take it day by day while following my inner guidance, as to who to Be and what to do without worries about the future. I realized that I'd much rather thrive than merely survive in this world.
By the way Blake, you crack me up with your seemingly uncomfortable, yet, innocent child-like and goofy non-verbal cues! ^_^ I do highly respect and admire your transparent honesty, and if it's true that your core life commitment is about going with the flow and simply Being a free-spirit who loves to explore and experience Life without limitations, then that's awesome!
Perhaps you don't resonate with cell phones (that gives off low vibrations) and having to often be there for others' needs, wants, and expectations. Unconditional Love goes both ways, to self and others, and I've learned to develop healthy boundaries within relationships.
Thank you again Teal, Blake and rest of team for your gifts to humanity and beyond. I'm so grateful for your wonderful existence. Our world needs more highly evolved, loving, and wise Beings like you. I wish you various forms of happy abundance. :-)
Wonderful topic... I see that I am unconsciously sabotaging my success. Working my ass off to make stuff happen and at the same time making decisions that keep me exactly where I am ... No 'effortlessness', but hard work, almost force to move in the direction that desire to develop... which might actually not be what I desire.... I need a whole recalibration aligning my actions with the subconscious direction... haha... thanks Teal. Looking forward to more alignment and effortlessness...
Thank you so much Teal ❤
Lmaoo, my core commitment and Blake's core commitment is absolutely the same. I can't even count how many times I've missed people's calls, left my phone in another room just because I didn't want to deal with other people's problems or do what other people want me to be.
Sara Bushra I actually do not understand what does that have to do with his core commitment?
Because he also does the same things as me as in not answer his calls. I don't know about him, but growing up in a home that would do anything to isolate me because my parents were scared of the outside world, there's nothing I desire more than freedom. And anything that restricts that, I end up destroying.
laborbabe oh, okay if you look at it this way.... Freedom is a very big topic and I just can't imagine a single person not wanting freedom at his/her core but anyway.... I actually got an idea that Blake's core commitment was also smth else, no?
That's also interesting to me what other people think when someone doesn't answer their call because my first thoughts are usually very simple- the person can't or the person's hands are busy or smth else is going on. No big deal. Unless it is an emergency then I'd be calling every phone possible to reach out.
Like I for ex., don't even have my cell on me 24/7. I can leave it on the table to charge and go into another room to do smth. So, of course, unless someone else picks up my phone for me I may not even register that there was a msg or call depending on the notification tone sound it currently is.
Also. Busy person does not mean that he/she is also not thoughtful of others.
I know that for ex, if i sent a msg and have no reply - that is also a reply. The person may just not know what to say! And i complete get that!
Smth tells me that resenting a phone and not answering it on purpose might has a lot to do with other underlying issues.
Otherwise it would not bother those who's calls are left continuously unanswered.
I have three different commitments but I rate them in order of importance. My actual main commitment is freedom, my second commitment after that is safety and the last is connection
I never really noticed it before now, but my conscious and unconscious commitments are very conflicting, almost perfect opposites. My subconscious commitment is towards safety and autonomy, wheras my conscious commitment is towards connection and intimacy. I find it very hard to make choices that satisfy both, for example I may choose an occupation that keeps me safe and gives me freedom, but that tends to starves me of connection. I may seek connection through other means but this often makes me feel very unsafe and takes away my freedom. I don't know how to reconcile these aspects that pull in opposite directions. It is making my life very difficult and I feel like I can't win regardless of what I do or don't do :-(
what if you found a job that met all your needs of connection, freedom and safety
or found a someone who met all those needs. you need to let both those aspects know that they can exist in harmony but first you must seek and figure out how :) the world is your oyster
Have you tried merging your two core commitments in your mind? Like just merging the two feelings together? I did that a few years ago with my need to be in a committed relationship and my need for adventure and freedom. The result was that I got BOTH rolled into one :)
Saaaaame.
But I belive its possible to integrate all of it.
I think u are mixing connection with attachment.
Attachment freaks out me, cos in my life I was too controlled by my parents. I hate ppl that are anxiously attached. I mean, not hate but I cant build friendship with them. Its so overwhelming putting boundaries and watching them being crushed by it.
But I have, for example, 1 close male friend that is so accepting. He makes me feel so safe and with sense of belonging. I have cried in front of him and we built levels of intimacy but we don't speak over social networks nor the phone. We see each other once in a week and that's all. He is securely attached. I feel connected to him strongly and im not feared by deep talks about feelings, triggers, thoughts, psychoanalising myself in front of him, etc.
But with others, it is hard.
You need to find quality people to surround urself with. They are so rare. U need to be present and listen to every word so u can deliberately choose and be aware. I outpaced all my friends except the one. I keep meeting new ones and waiting for few of old ones that have potential to awaken. It takes so much time. But this one dude gives me hope they exist.
My core commitment is knowledge, learning, understanding.
Thank you! This is so powerful for why so many people can’t make relationships work. I’m grateful as always to you and your videos.
I love you 💗 Amazing teacher, amazing soul 🙏🌿💕🌸⭐
