I have a mood disorder and chronic anxiety. In easy terms I feel a constant sense of dread, underlying and always. I found Taoism as a result of my search for calm. Your videos have been very helpful. Not only am I learning how to meditate but I'm learning how to alleviate some of what goes on. I take my medications and also I see a counselor. There's only so far those things can go. I'm not a victim. I'm a creator, and it's these tools combined that have me closer to balanced than the last 2 decades. I really hope the next person who is struggling clicks on your beautiful faces. I was astonished to see an entirely spiritual side of myself. Although it's still pretty rough sometimes (depression, mental illness can be a lifelong deal), I feel much more peaceful. If you're reading this and you'd like to see more, I would really recommend David's guided meditation. It's the real deal. I never knew but Eastern cultures have practices to minimize suffering. You don't have to be a scholar to reap benefits. Just watch and I promise you're going to be blown away. Much love guys!!!
Hi Elizabeth Thank you for your kind comments, we are pleased that the videos are helping on your journey. It sounds as though you are already making important changes in your thoughts and beliefs, well done! I would encourage you to keep questioning and living your truth. Always remember, you are the creator of your feelings, not the victim! And you control your mind, your mind does NOT control you. Keep up the good authentic work. Thank you for taking the time and trouble for watching and commenting on our videos we appreciate your support. David

As someone who has spent years in and out of therapy trying to learn how to cope with grief and dysfunction this video series has been a lightning bolt. Never before this did I consider the fact that I created my own emotional state, and I think I’m a pretty smart person. Listening to this has been so enlightening and empowering-I cannot thank you enough for showing me this point of you and this way of looking at my future.

Thanks David Coming from a trauma c-ptsd point of view: I know it's a hard watch David being with trauma survivors the natural feeling is frustration. But from a trauma and evolutionary point of view: Negative predictions are protective The collapse response is a trauma response The narrow 'window of tolerance' which the trauma survivor will accept is so narrow that effectively they're often trapped...but again it's a trauma response I certainly have no easy or quick answers, discussions like this, meditation to practise green zone feelings, learning to increase window of tolerance on red light feelings...it was a nightmare for me (I'm 60 years old, 30 years into a learning curve). I watch others trying to make their way out...I see these themes discussed here that I struggled with.... Thanks again

Anxiety about the future has been something I hugely struggled with especially in my teenage years. Now things are a lot better but some residual anxieties still loom. My mum always used to tell me “Don’t worry - worrying is wasted energy”. While this was comforting to some degree, it felt a bit like my emotions were dismissed and allowed to build up. I just wish someone could have approached me with more empathy and helped me to change my perception about uncertainty over the future and the way the mind works the way this video does. Now I know that person to do that for my teenage self is me. I resonate with the tendency to try future proofing sometimes. At one point I started becoming interested in conspiracy theories. Later on fears drove me to buy an expensive and heavy power generator (just in case) during the first COVID lockdown and created an action plan in response to a thought that came to me one day “what if the electricity grid goes down for a long period of time?” I returned it when I realised how ridiculous this all was planning for something that hasn’t happened yet and a generator will only get me so far anyway before the fuel runs out.

I love the exercise you suggested we all try.I all too often get consumed by red light feelings where I'm convinced my negative worrisome feelings are correct. And you're right, it's easy to be negative and see the negative in things, it ends up being your comfort zone. Here's to Wu Wei and green light feelings! P.s. I love how you both balance each other out!

Great vid. Yes, the negative Betty grew from the teachings I was given around living by the dictates of fear-based HCM of “No....don’t do that.....it’s not safe out there!”😁
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. If I’m having red light feelings, I watch one of your helpful videos! I Love them! I miss David saying, “stop it, stop it now!” It makes me smile and helps to keep one on track. Could you do a video to help teens, I am wondering?
Very much agree with your assessment of my mental state. It seems as though my feelings of fear and anxiety come out of nowhere. Once those feelings start I seem to spiral down into fear. It's so confusing!! If I am in fact creating this, is my lazy brain just on default and these feelings just happen?? I'm totally committed to challenge my visceral response. Is there any chance these irrational feelings are a chemical imbalance? Is there a way to balance this out?? Thank you for your videos!!
