Mindfulness Chat - You Have Love In Your Nature

0:00how wonderful they are, and that everything has a nature.

0:05Everything has a pure love inside of,

0:09every person has a pure love inside of them.

0:11It's love, it's joy, freedom, tolerance, patience,

0:15strength, compassion, forgiveness,

0:19and that's our true nature.

0:20And the only thing that blocks us

0:22from acting like that all the time

0:23are our past experiences that are stored in our bodies,

0:26in our memories.

0:28So if we can just lift that up

0:32and remember who we are at our core,

0:34which is a good person, a human being,

0:36we're meant to be here,

0:38our experiences of our past have made us stronger,

0:42you know, just looking at things differently

0:43and just loving ourselves through everything,

0:45knowing that we're human, and humans have emotions,

0:49and humans get angry, and humans are fearful,

0:51and that's just what we, it's our nature.

0:54So, and the other thing about meditation,

0:57I meet some people from time to time that are saying,

1:00oh, I can't meditate, no, I'm not doing it, can't do it.

1:03And that was me.

1:06So, it's funny because we think,

1:10what I was doing was I was thinking about it

1:13in one specific way, and I was saying,

1:15oh, meditation is just to quiet the mind,

1:16and I can't quiet my mind, it's too crazy,

1:19spinning around all over the place, I can't.

1:21It's not about blanking out your mind completely,

1:26it's about separating and being the observer

1:29of your thoughts, be the observer of sensations

1:32of your body, tune in to what's going on,

1:35tune in to your thoughts, be, back up, give space.

1:40Like I picture it, like you could picture a thought

1:41as a cloud in the sky, that helps sometimes,

1:45and it's just passing, you don't have to,

1:47don't get angry at it, don't get angry at your mind

1:49for wandering, it's just doing its job.

1:52And don't be judgmental if you think a negative thought

1:55or feel a negative emotion, because if you're judging

1:58yourself for judging yourself, now you have two critics

2:02in there, and it becomes a shit show.

2:07And honestly, this is just, it's just about

2:11giving yourself love and space, and I'm so happy,

2:14hi Lucas, I'm so happy that you guys are here

2:17and you're doing this for yourselves.

2:20There's like no better gift, and a lot of people

2:23don't take the time out to do this, so I wanna thank

2:25you guys for being here, I know some of you are here

2:28for, to support me, and I love that, but do it

2:31for yourself, because it's really, really powerful.

2:34And even if you, some people, a lot of people say

2:36they don't have time to meditate, and they get

2:38all self-pity, I'm so busy, I'm not saying

2:42that people aren't busy, but if you wake up

2:4410 minutes earlier, you can do a five to 10 minute

2:47meditation in the morning, it'll shape your whole day.

2:50You know, and if you take a breath on lunch break,

2:52if you just take a breath when you go to the bathroom

2:54and just watch your breathing, and you do this

2:57throughout the day, you can find that peace,

3:01and you're worthy of that peace, so.
