My LIFE CHANGED When I Realized This TRUTH
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 май 2024
- Before my spiritual journey, my life looked very different. I was addicted to just about everything. I was addicted to work, smoking, alcohol, food, materialism, screens. I did everything to extremes. I must have been addicted to stress, although I didn't know it at the time, because my life was a mess.
I had chronic back pain and had to see a chiropractor, massage therapist, acupuncturist, and do yoga 3 times a week to try and manage the pain, mostly unsuccessfully.
When by complete chance and accident I ended up on a 9-year spiritual journey, my whole life changed. I found a peace and wisdom I didn't even know existed. When I learned this one simple truth, my back pain went away forever, my addictions disappeared forever, and I was free.
In today's RUclips video, I share that truth, I share my story, and I show how we can all develop that love for life that requires no addictions to provide us escape from. Armed with this wisdom, you won't need to leave your life for 9 years to get it. You can have it right here and right now.

Thank you, Todd. Very inspiring.
Todd I think I have learned more from Mother Nature than any Job or School.
Todd, in this video, you have provided the clearest message of deep peace. I get what you are describing, and I want it too! You are unshakeable. Thank you for giving your time and creativity to create these videos. You are helping everyone who is drawn to your message to seek a higher place to live from. Everything about you embodies the peace you are describing...your voice, your tone, the pacing of your words. I'll continue to watch your videos to see your example and remember how I want to be. Love and blessings to you Todd.
I absolutely agree . Todd has a gift . ❤
What a Lovely, Thoughtful thing to say❤️
Beautiful words Todd. I am far from home, entering a war. A new life. Your words reassured me that all will be okay 😊 💕
Stay safe❤
Why would you do that? Haven't we learned already?
He might not have a choice?
Honey, I hope you can still read this: if you are here watching this kind of videos it's surely because your soul is craving something very different from that war, whether it's literal or figurative. You're looking for that peace Tom is talking about. God bless you and help you find the way, I know you will ❤
Todd, I have seen many of your videos which I have very much appreciated.
This video however, has touched me in a very profound way, different from other videos of yours.
Hearing you describe your life and what you experienced in the 9 years you were away on your spiritual journey, and what happened when you arrived back in the U.S., had me riveted to each word you spoke. Your vulnerability, authenticity & courage come through loud & clear.
Thank you for sharing this with us. 🙏
I have actively been on my personal spiritual journey for almost 2 years. I thought I was extremely knowledgeable & deeply spiritual for decades, until something unexpected happened in August 2022, that showed me otherwise. I had only been scratching the surface of my self-help/spiritual journey. I was at the tip of an iceberg, never having searched deep down underneath the surface to see what was really going on inside myself.
When this devastating event happened to me in August 2022, I knew I did not have the tools or even a notion, of how I was going to heal from the excruciating heartache I was experiencing.
That's when I realized I had trapped myself in a corner for years, and the time had come to help myself get out of that corner.
Your video is an example of what can happen in our lives when we learn what it means to let go and surrender.
No matter how stormy the sea can be with its monstrous waves and constant thunder and lightning booming from the sky, once Divine inner peace has been accepted and received in our beings, it won't matter what goes on outside of ourselves, peace and calm will keep us where it's best to be.
Our soul already knows this, and possesses this knowledge, because our blueprint has been placed inside of us when we arrived in the world. We just need to uncover everything that has layered over our soul so far.
That's where I'm at.🙏
Thank you again Tood 🙏
I'm so sorry that you went through something that was so devastating for you in 2022. As much as I have taken from listening to Todd, I am impressed by your words. It left an impression on me. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! Todd, I've listened to all of your podcasts and videos. This new one is without doubt the one that has touched me the most. In 2018 the most important person in my life passed away, that was my mother. On July 26th I had a triple bypass, a complicated one which left me in a deep depression. I was in constant pain. Regarding alcohol, our stories are very similar. Anyways, your talks helped me through all of this. My bypass surgery, I've learned to accept it, last June I had a knee replacement, and this past April I had a second one. I never meditated until I started listening to you
Thank you for giving me a different outlook on life. Thank you for making a difference!!
Rick, good luck with everything, the bypass surgery, and both knees, that’s a lot, and sorry to hear of your loss, this is something I may be facing soon.
Thank you for the kind words Jim, that's very kind. I am very sorry for what your going through. I know how painful it is.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, experiences and insights that are really inspiring and motivating. 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for the inspiration. I so needed this message. I just retired from a very rewarding but also very stressful job as a school bus driver. I am having trouble slowing down the pace I had assumed when I worked. Take eating for example. I am wolfing the food down like I have someplace to go and I am going to be late!!! I need to learn ways to slow down and relax! So , thank you!
What a beautiful connection with self. A journey to infinity.
Life is a mirror of our subconscious, right? i'm thinking out loud here. So, any fear, anxiety etc will show up in your "reality" and the internet is fuelled with those. I was thinking about my life before i started heavily consuming the internet and post that. It is almost like the more 'ignorant' i was to current even the more blissful i was and it's almost like the more i learned of 'chaos' in the world, the more i invited it in to this reality. Like back when I never read news, or watched news, reddit, twitter everything in my life was just all fun and parties, filled with friends but since 2012, everything has gone a different direction, which is exactly when i started watching news, learning about the 'world' going online a lot etc. holly sht as i type this it is hitting me. What if our world is just a manifestation of whatever we consume? and ignorance really is bliss? What if consuming anything which settles in our subconscious will then liteally materialize in our world?
Absolutely.. your thoughts are frequencies! Release good thought energies out to the universe's! ❤
We are drawn to the negative because it’s easier to be that way. Don’t have to do the work to realize ourselves until it’s too late. We fall and fail and become depressed. We have lost the ability to love ourselves.
Hey Todd thank you for journeying into the wilderness! We all are better off for it! Peace ✌️ amplified.
If only people could understand this .. every bad situation we face his an opportunity to grow .. we decide what to do with it .. took me 42 years to wake up
Tanks for sharing your beautiful story 🙏🏽
I thank God for guiding me to your channel your calm voice your and words of wisdom you have changed my life,and inspired me to embark more on my spiritual journey.namaste❤
What an amazing story - thank you so much for sharing…. You travelled all the way to India to find your inner peace, to release those addictions, to meditate, or maybe meditation is what lead you to ur peace? And your story will inspire many…
However, I had to respond to your story - I endured an awakening/ rebirth over 2 years ago. I went through an EXTREME TRANSFORMATION IN ONE SINGLE DAY! I didn’t meditate, I had no one helping me, coaching me, teaching me- I had Spirit/God! I SURRENDERED! I totally surrendered every bit of my will/ my worldly desires, worldly addictions, all the negative desires of the world- I overcame the world!!!
Spirit said to me on this exact day- my peace will NEVER LEAVE YOU! 2 years and 3 months later- the peace of God has never left me!!!
What did I give up- smoking of 47 years, drinking daily to exist in life, doing drugs to escape my reality, amongst others…
What did I gain- everything……….. Not one desire to drink, smoke, or ‘do drugs ever again! Every fear I felt was GONE! The EGO that controlled ME for so long had surrendered…
There is so much MORE to tell, maybe someday I’ll write about it.
But just know- I didn’t leave my home when all this took place… And though I didn’t know what meditation was really back then, I did what I called communing with God for 8 months daily… I had a “BLISS” for 14 days that felt like heaven had come to earth for me. Why 14 days I do not know and strive to get to that state again.. I later said that I felt like I came into unity with Christ or Christ-consciousness….
Just remember if you seem long enough- you will find… Never give up… peace love and light to you all
I wonder if you will ever know how much your words, story, peace, and love have inspired those of us living our lives searching and living for truth. It world be unmeasurable. I arose this morning with the intention to check the weather but your video was the first thing I saw. Thank you, it was meant to be.
Will be so helpfull for so many people! Thank you for sharing, I feel much better after watching...
Thank you. Watch to the end. 👍🙏
Thank you for sharing it is beautiful experience is very encouraging! 🌹🌹🌹
Wow that's it ,we are all stuck in the system , I am a drifter in life and hate stability
Brother Todd, this will help others, God bless you. Pax et Bonum.🙏
Thank you so much, Todd, for sharing your amazing story!!
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Wow brother, I had no clue you went through all that. I will never trust another human alive again. I promise you that.
Should we spend our life helping others putting ourselves in stressful situations like war zones helping victims and feeling that trauma…or should we live looking inwardly to find inner peace but with the guilt that we are blinkering ourselves to those out there who need us? In other words what’s a meaningful life being a firefighter rescuing others or a Buddhist in a monastery?
I get confused when you say you gave everything away, then at the end you say everything was stolen, love following your insights though!!
if I may speak for Todd, and I recall correctly from his saying years ago, he lost everything from a fire, lost his job, a family (?) member scammed a large amount of money
The journey keeps taking me to new heights of spirituality and inner peace. Now when negative energies come through I am able to step aside respectfully and let them pass me by all the while remaining aware of my inner feelings and the lessons they bring to me. Todd, you are a fine example of what we can attain to become 🌻
Todd you are completely on point! I'm on a journey of wanting less, minimalism, less is more 🕉! Everything you say resonates 100% love it!
Sadhu sadhu sadhu ... May all beings be still and enlightened ❤
Wow… I was memorized by your story and the sound of your voice. I found myself drifting to a “50-day quiet place” while I listened. You are a gifted communicator….may our connection continue……thank you
💙this video is like a meditation in itself 🙏🏼thank you 🌹
Thanks Todd, really needed to hear this.
Thanks for the inspiration Todd❤
Thank you for this beautiful video, Todd….so inspiring and so full of wisdom.
Bravo! I really welcome the unpretentious explanation. Thanks Todd. Not easy to tell one's life story in the manner you have done here.
A true Awakening of a light being!! Good for you!!! Sharing is empowering!!!
What an amazing inspiring video , appreciate it , suffering was the catalyst for my own quest into discovering my true essence. I've had glimpses but keep getting drawn back into the rat race. But the seed has been set so no going back
Thank you for sharing these words with the world friend 🙏
Thank you for sharing your story. I know what you are talking about. I have been there, and had a simular experience. finding yourself, be happy with yourself and for all; love yourself. Treat others from out love.
You've done very well Todd. Happy to hear this post now I know I am not the only one.
Thank you so much for sharing your spiritual journey 🙏 It is so inspiring and let me think about my own addictions I wasn´t really aware of until now (work, safety, food). Many blessings 🧡
Thank you for sharing ✌️🙏🌈🌹❤️👍💫I apreciate So much!
What a nice voice! Small tip. While meditating: breath from the belly (emotions) to the heart and the from the mind (ego) to the heart. The heart has the intelligence to transform it all. While doing, feel the energy flowing. It is not positive nor negative. Just energy.
Todd. Could you write a biography on your spiritual journey. So inspiring. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I agree.
At the end, he has an ad for his latest book, so he does too.
Todd thank you for sharing your journey with us. I enjoy reading your book pearls of wisdom everyday day.
If by any chance you remember the name of the retreat you went to or the horse ranch I would greatly appreciate the information. I rescued a horse this year and it has been a beautiful transformation for her and for myself to around each other.
Thank you
This is the second video I watched from your channel. I am very grateful for the personal history you shared with us.
When you are money-less, home-less, family-less and yet still able to be happy, what beautiful sate you attained.
I feel very blessed to be able to listen to you even though I live in a different country. Thank you for uploading, thank you.
Todd namaste. Your former self sounds a lot like my dad. Always revved up or sleeping. I used to be somewhat similar. Yoga, Hinduism, Buddhism, the Vedas and the Upanishads opened up my third eye to what is and is not.
Thank you!
You are a blessing to all of us❤️
Wow Todd..What a remarkable being you are...❤
I just love your authenticity and crave that as I deepen my connection with who I am and awaken to the world with fresh eyes..
I resonate so much with your story..
Striving, stress , alcohol and drug addiction constantly craving more until it all came crashing down.... finally..
And then the penny dropped and I woke up..
Starting a new chapter in my life with a few euros ..but I have learned so many wonderful tools in doing this..
Gratitude being a huge one..
Being true to oneself isn't the easiest path but most definitely the most fulfilling..
Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for sharing your journey and growth . It’s helpful for me 🙏🏼💝
Wow Todd, to experience the level of stress producing situations you faced after your return to the US, and still maintain your happiness, is a huge motivator to seek within that which eludes us without!!💜🙏🏻✌️✨

Ty Todd Bless your soul ❤
Thank you for sharing your valuable experience ❤
Beautiful message as always, thank you for sharing your teachings. (Btw, consider viewing "The Herd", a short documentary on horses and those seeking guidance for their suffering - the cinematography is amazing and the stories are touching.
Many Blessings to you ~
✨🙏
Wow. What a story. Thank you for sharing it. It will help me on my journey. 🙏
Beautiful story my friend! But OMG, why did, how could, close family members steal and swindle you?!?
Wow! Your story left me stunned.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤
sometimes happiness can be a de motivator. discontentment is a powerful force to take action on goals .. that's why many need to hit rock bottom before flying right ☕
Thank you 🙏🏻
Gratitude🙏❤
Thank you. ❤🙏🏽
Thank you.
Merci!❤
I can relate to your ending lol holding on to anything can cause pain. Less is more!
Loving this. As a canadian my favorite part was "even Canada!😂"
Wonderful ❤️
Amen. Beautiful video. May the peace continue to be with you. 👍
Beautiful ❤❤ thanks for sharing your soulful experience 👏🛐🌹
Thank you
a chaotic, trauma/fear based childhood deffffffinetly sets us up for such a litany of disruptive and self abusive actions that we cannot even see as such😖😖… thanks NOT my “family”; been so treacherous.. much better now… horse therapy is excellent ❣️❣️❣️
isn’t that incredible you had all that intense spiritual immersion, prior to the awaiting catastrophes you were to be faced with… good grief Todd… that was a whole lotta upsets.. what a treacherous “family” people you had.. sheeesh.. ultimate cringe and ick😵💫🥴😵.. you turned yourself around into such a treasure!!!! sooooo glad to have found you… still would love to meet you in person one day..
WOW !!!!🌈💕
Listening at 2x speed still sounds normal.
Thanks!
Wow lovely thank you ❤
Sorry to hear about your problems after the 9-year-spiritual journey around the world but as you said you were at peace. Therefore, I take back saying sorry because you took it with grace. Om tat sat. Om Namaha Shivaya. Om Gan Ganapataye Namaha.
Where in nz did you go for the 50 day meditation , did you fast and by yourself completly thanks, powerful message everyone should watch this ☮️
🖤 🙏🏾
Thanks
OMG. I misjudged you ✨💕✨
I was where you were I didnt realise that my life was missing something we all need which is love. I came so close to leaving this world and I'm still not right. Confusion reigns supreme. Nobody cares not really so why would they care about my passing? I am a nobody. Take care x
It’s not true that you are a nobody. You are part of everything. You are of god. You have a light and a worth that is no less than anyone else.
You are amazing thank you , ok am a drink problem but no one has helped me in the system lol
Wow Todd is there anything or anyone else that you could have experienced? A totally amazing story of such experiences. Todd, do you think with hindsight that you needed to experience all that suffering or could you have done it differently? I would love to know.
Your lessons from Jesus and The Buddha taught you well. A real disciple of both teachers. Thank you
❤
Todd, do you interact in the comments? Fábio/Portugal
hah, todd your thumbnail on this tells me immediately we have a lot in common.
❤❤❤
What was this resort with the cowboy guru called ?
