Every time I listen to this I am overwhelmed with emotion. Please let me remember to do this when I find myself supporting a loved one at end of life. It’s so powerful for me as a practice.

I've been body scan meditating since 2012 and I've noticed it's prepared my astral body to connect to my physical mind.

Heartfulness and mindfulness are the same words in all Asian languages! Understand the heartful component of mindfulness. Such words of wisdom!

I can't make the pain go away but listening to you I was terrible pain in my neck and emotional psychological pain from the violence and lies that the doctors were should've been safe and it makes me worry for other people safety vulnerable people but I do want to say listening to imagining breathing and feeling the cool air enter my nostrils gives me a little break from the terrible pain so thank you

Thank you Bless you. Mom barely hanging in this is a comfort. I was savagely assaulted Violated at a doctors office in Soho New York City and the employee and her Boss medical doctor with lots of NYPD patients decided rather than apologize engaged enablers example NYPD joined in wrong doing goal to lie to gaslight it's almost 8 years I'm in bed right now I feel like my neck is broken I feel on the verge of collapse yet I'm trying to be there for my mother via video. Mom is too afraid to talk about death she doesn't want any comfort re death about Heaven or anything like that. I'm just thankful that no one is hitting her no one is violating her sometimes I almost cry or do cry when I see how kind Because I was not treated kindly and I was not safe at the doctors my body was violated my patient rights.because I was not treated kindly and I was not safe at a doctors my body was violated my patient rights violated

.She's been barely hanging on for years with pre-existing conditions and then innocently she was infected with COVID-19. I had to get I eye surgery from the running punch my head as I held my bags my arm was numb October 1, 2012 for years they engaged others gaslighting me trying to put their guilt and wrongdoing on me not themselves negligence it's so horrific and they got NYPD to join in breaking the laws and then when I sue the city in the NYPD Internal Affairs the city got their lawyers Corporation Counsel to walk in and lie lie in court lie in legal filing LIE BEFORE G-d. No remorse if there's an opportunity to be crueler they have been crueler with The travelers group lawyer mocking the violence and me giving the woman who punched me a Styrofoam cup and the lawyer took them and they both waved them at me....Every way I was put down the or harmed or hurt the behavior went on in legal proceedings but without physical violence. More cruelty more wrongdoing zero remorse engaging more people and protecting Crimes. All I can do is try and be there with mom. I sang her part of a song from fiddler on the roof miracles of miracles and I got someone she likes to join in the conversation as if a little miracle happened right there that's all I can do I'm so tired I feel like I have to close my eyes with my eyes closed I will listen to the rest of this video. The doctors I asked would you consider paper cups instead of Styrofoam it's better for mother Earth so apparently they thought that was something to make a mockery off in legal proceedings but it was waving the Styrofoam cups at me in a violent way and layering the doctors TRAVELERS Lawyer and MD employee that punch me both waved Styrofoam cups at me as if to give me the finger is close to it as possible legal proceedings but think about the cruelty even with Styrofoam is doing to the planet how it's literally killed sentient beings in the ocean it's just an example
