My god, your timing... I relate to often not knowing exactly what it is I'm feeling. I can understand that I'm down, but not necessarily know exactly how, or why.
It’s not actually necessary to know those things. Whenever you can, go deeply into the body and get curious about the sensations that create that not why or have some kind of thought about it, but just to feel what combination of sensations makes that affect. This is one of the mysteries that people talk about. Being willing to sit with that set of sensations is a way of actually letting them be released and you don’t even have to know why they were produced.
I'm going to try and do this , I always am trying to overthink things of why I'm feeling this way , 😕 and sometimes I just can't think of a reason brings me to the question is thought causing emotions or can your body and feelings have a way of there own I know that sounds confusing.
@@oolala53 so true, it took me getting to a point of mental exhaustion where I didn't have the capacity to analyse or hold thoughts in my head, then all that was left was going deeply into the sensations and feelings in this sphere of awareness, deeper, deeper, realising its completely okay to feel, comfortable, uncomfortable, it doesn't matter. The suffering is in the pushing away, the fear, the rejection, not in the embrace. ❤
I love how direct you are.There's a saying, "dukkha (suffering is your best friend)." Also, have you been making new music? These new tracks on the videos have been amazing.
I am feeling I guess it's unsettled and a feeling of empty as I've tried to look into this and it started more noticeable as my mum and dad are older and my dad diagnosed with dementia I just feel everything I ever know will just dissappear I still have a family 3 kids who are young but can't shake off the feeling of loosing my parents 😢 I remember being young about 8 or 9 and realising my parents won't live forever and feeling completely overwhelmed that people just die and even growing up I felt times like I wasn't even real myself hard to explain for me but there is a deep feeling of sadness of things just coming and going
After inquiring for some time, I came in contact with fear of annihilation. There is this fear of losing the world and my identify forever. Fear of not being anything at all but also not being able to escape myself as frighteningly-alive but empty being. How can I deal with this? Is this just a barrier that can be let go of?
For some reason as soon as I saw the title of this video I can't help but hear over and over in my head Marilyn Mansons lyric..."when you are suffering...know that I have betrayed you." I'm sure it's not about that...I was just one of those weird Manson kids growing up haha.
❤Thank you ❤ beautiful❤I have been listening for your messages for a while now and these messages have been my teachers. I remember getting frustrated listening and now I smile ❤ Thank you for being a teacher, I am one of those who are afraid of spiritual teachers, this channel is a go to place for me 😂
In my experience, practice is most effective when working with the body and mind. Simply put, practice can be described as unbinding identity from thought, while simultaneously relaxing all tension and contraction in the body. These two go hand in hand. When the body is settled and the breath is settled down in the naval, the mind slows down too and it is much easier to unbind from thought. The overlay of the constant labeler and commentator is seen much more clearly. Additionally, when I’m able to really settle into my experience, even the sense of the thinker or the sense of consciousness is really seen as a familiar sensation we identify with over other sensations in the body. It’s roughly located behind the eyes or somewhere in the head. At this point, attention seems to “bounce” from sensation to sensation. Very interesting. Lastly, I’ll add genuine curiosity can really fuel this practice. Really looking into “What is the nature of the one who is constantly judging life, labeling life, pushing and pulling on life?” “Is it a sensation, is it a thought?” “What is it??” This orientation and curiosity can allow the sense fields, body and sensations to show us the way. Much different from living purely in thought. As a top-heavy person, this exploration is quite fascinating and deeply peaceful and settled
I thought the music in this one was a bit distracting. Usually your background sounds are a bit more neutral, meditative. This sounded more like a TV drama soundtrack. But I'll listen again trying to focus on the message :)
I very much acquainted with my feelings shame jealousy rage peace joy..I can't not feel them...but since retreat my mind is going crazy with thoughts thoughts I used to be able to drop in to space not ATM...agh..
Ive sat with my depression for years just watching it, and it doen,t seem to move at all. Am i doing it all wrong or is there no right and wrong way...🙏
Is there a difference between feeling into suffering and “wallowing” in suffering? I feel into it at times, but it appears to intensify it, which is okay I guess, but I don’t notice shifting. Thinking I’m more wallowing in the suffering than truly feeling it. But not sure how to more deeply engage in it.
Re watching the video does thought cause emotion cause i can feel off or seem to when im not thinking its like a negative emotion is there and then i seem to think continuesly how is it some people just seem to not even think about life time and deep things its like i just cant settle with the mysetery of life ,God and everything
If you really can’t slow down enough to see your thoughts, you can try a few things. Keep your eyes open but not fixed at any one point. Keep them in an open gaze while maintained relaxed. Then focus on your breath make sure to breathe through your belly and release all tension in the body on the exhale. Really try to feel grounded in the body. When the body is grounded, open and relaxed - the mind will naturally open up as well and slow down. Opening up to the senses, especially sensations in the body can be helpful. I’ve realized the sense of being a thinker even the sense of pure consciousness and stillness is associated with a subtle sensation behind the eyes or inside the back of the head. Working on relaxing and opening up the body while settling into sense experience, should naturally calm the mind down and make inquiry, or just stopping, or just sitting much more accessible.
Can you please talk about sexual abuse in the sense of ..you know all "spirituality" is full of people who repeat things that enlightened beings have said, like: everything is one, you and the abuser are the same, you deserved it because of your past lives .. whatever. All these things are hard for me to grasp. They may all be true but I need somehow to feel them, I won't believe them, because I cant. At the same time there's a part of me that wants to feel safe, and if I am the abuser, and allow everything...im afraid. Maybe it'll happen on its own? Or should I do something? In the holistic counseling school I'm attending, they keep repeating like a mantra everything is one, there's no one to harm you, but none of the teachers are more enlightened than I am. This is to say that some people talk about some crucial topics without understanding them. I can't do it. I don't get it. I don't. A part of me truly wants to, a part of me is scared to death. Do you have any advice?
For anyone who happens to stumble on this message, I want to remind you that everything is deeply ok.
Thank you
It's like suffering points to where you're still identified...
I don’t know what it is but somehow this video transmits so powerfully. Thank you
It's the same with almost all his videos 🙏
My god, your timing...

Totally relatable 👌

Timely and powerful. Feel like I've been on a retreat with you since sometime in December with the way you're talking to me directly.
Feels like an endless path…
Best video I've ever watched from Angelo. I've come upon this realization recently and I'm glad to hear I'm on the right path. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I woke up this morning suffering. Thank you Angelo 🙏🏻
Feels like my heart is on fire 🔥
LOVE the music
Felt like horror movie background music, which ironically is appropriate for the way I have felt most of my life. 😂
Thank you Angelo :)
Welcome!
I love how direct you are.There's a saying, "dukkha (suffering is your best friend)." Also, have you been making new music? These new tracks on the videos have been amazing.
Yes! I've never understood samsara and nirvana are one until this. Thank you for your clarity and maturity. Very grateful.
Im so appreciative of your diligence and persistence in trying to get us to all wake up. Much love to you!
I needed to hear this today. Thank you🙏❤
🙏🙏🙏 Amazing Pointer Angelo !
Oddly--when i become more aware of things--the more it seems to backfire
thank you so much Angelo

Look at his videos about the deep shadow. Theres nothing you have to do. Its another sensation.
This was great thanks, very personable; nice jumper!
Ah this reminds me of when I lived in USA. "Jumper" got lost in translation lol
Perfect timing. I really needed that reality check ;)
Bingo!
Do you know internal family systems? it’s been useful for shadow work
For some reason as soon as I saw the title of this video I can't help but hear over and over in my head Marilyn Mansons lyric..."when you are suffering...know that I have betrayed you." I'm sure it's not about that...I was just one of those weird Manson kids growing up haha.
Does the background music have Dexter vibes, or am I just nuts?
That said, I truly appreciate these direct pointing videos.
It reminded me of a horror movie background music too. lol.
Just falling into these words. This dying so beautiful. Thank you so much Dr. Grr.

Heavy laden with mind, mind and more mind

Angelo what happened why don't you have a psychedelic shirt in this video
Thank you for this. Is it possible to post it without the background music? Find it difficult to separate out your voice.
The voice and the music aren't separate 😋
Perfect message for me today! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
