Just hearing him speak and seeing his gentle smile is an act of loving oneself.

“Hello, Body...I’m Home. I’ll take care of you.” Those words ooze with self love. That will be my mantra when I wake up. Thank you 🙏🏼💝.

"Be aware of your body. Your body is a masterpiece of the cosmos. The consciousness of the cosmos. Do you have the capacity to appreciate the wonder that is your body? Mother Earth is in you. Not underneath, or all around you- but in you, also. Father sun is in you; you are made of sunshine. You are made of fresh air, of fresh water. To be aware of that wonder, to value that wonder can only bring you a lot of happiness... Understanding suffering always brings compassion that has the power to heal, and you suffer less."

When he said "you spend two hours on the computer and forget you have a body" I really felt that. Very wise words in this video.

He’s not dead!! His teachings lives in me through me !

1. Practise mindful breathing and/or walking and recognise you have a body in the here and now.

2. Rediscover that your body is a masterpiece of the cosmos, a wonder.

3. Take care of your body by
- Releasing tension (suffering) in your body
- Allowing yourself to be nourished by feelings of joy and happiness
- Understanding suffering which brings about compassion that has the power to heal

4. When you help others suffer less, you suffer less and have more joy.

5. You cannot love someone else if you don't know how to love yourself.

I started to tear up the moment he spoke on how our bodies are wonders. How he explained compassion for oneself. I've experienced trauma related to my own body, and grew to hate it so deeply for not protecting me. I want to love myself, to take care of the same body that wants me to heal. Thank you for your wisdom and gentle words.

I love this guy, found his books about 15 years ago… I’m 35 now, and loved his works.

I hope that person coughing got a cough drop.

This dear Monk has made a transition; yet, his teachings live on.
I will miss his immediate presence; yet, honor him always as one of my teachers. And share what I have come to know in these teachings. Life continues always sacred...

Thank you and I love you. It has taken me almost a year to be in a place where I could watch more than the first minute. It has been a year of living in my mind and binge thinking, anything to avoid the present. Today, in this moment I am encouraging awareness through the act of being mindful to appreciate and love the somatic/spiritual journey.

Breathing in, I have a body, I will take care of it. Breathing out, I will see any suffering and release all tension. All of life (past, present, and future) live within me. ❤️🙏🏾🌻

The coughing lady in the background is a great patience teacher 😅

[ALBERT]

Man, just less than two minutes hearing this guy and I thought to myself "How wise is this man". He looks and smiles very kind :)

[Kauailove]

The Wise Sage of our TIme... he never left So blessed to have him

[Bobby]

I cannot believe at the age of 42 I am just knowing this person, so blessed

[fuldagermany]

He emanates peace ... and love ... he walks his talk.

[colorfullyme]

Something I would add is to try to 100% accept yourself as you are in that moment. To see yourself as you are (not as you want to be) and to accept the current condition you are in. To me that is love as well.

[juliapierce]

Even just the first few minutes of this talk is gold. Such a good reminder to stop and listen to our needs.

[miuranganikarunarathna]

One of the greatest teachers I've ever seen. His compassion and loving-kindness is higher than anything.

[Janewomanpower]
