Nice information.
To feel relaxed reduce negative thoughts. Be careful what you feed your mind. Avoid comparing yourself physically or mentally with others, reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 10-15-20 minutes or more. You can sit or lie down, anywhere-anytime, neck straight and eyes closed. Never meditate with expectations but with awareness. Don’t fight your thoughts. With practice the mind will relax. Keep a reminder to observe your breath sensations throughout the day and night --before sleep, when reading, at work, in school, at home, etc with eyes open or closed. Make this a lifetime habit to have a better life. Best wishes--Counsellor.

The explanation you offer of the concepts of equanimity and humility are useful. This will move my heretofore limited meditation practice forward. Thank you.

I used to dread my Mom dying. then by the time her life was nearing the end, I was SO RELIEVED for her to leave her dysfunctional body and be free from her pain. Yes I still grieved but was relieved for a long time. My sister had a much diff. reaction so we could not relate about it.

That was very helpful! I have been struggling with “letting go” of a very complicated, difficult relationship (one of my daughters), and a diminished relationship with my grandchildren. I am always hopeful that things can be resolved. However, at 71 years old (healthy and active) I want to enjoy life in the moment. And I have so much that I am grateful for. I want to enjoy my relationships with the rest of my family and with friends without sadness and self doubt. So, the story of the man, his horse and his son is a perfect “contemplation” for me! Thank you😊

This is a great lesson and a helpful reminder to work towards letting go of all of the expectations that we build-up and attach to situations and outcomes. Thank you. I have some work to do! 😊

I happened to want to hear this subject from a woman and it took a bit of scrolling to find one. Great video!

Doctors really need to say " I really don't know. Just trying what they know and when apply is ok but stages where they really do not know they don't continue with medications.

“Should” is not a good word for me because it has caused me more pain in life. Expectations can often lead me to be disappointment!
