[@Sylviaplathismymother]

This video made me cry, it’s life changing. All my life I thought life was a competition! Like if I didn’t get up at 5am and go for run or if I didn’t do my homework on the day it was set, that I’d immediately failed at life and would never reach success! I would think for hours in bed about it. This video really awoke something in me because I usually never ever comment on videos! Thank you for this

[@ajaymomin1286]

Your videos are incredibly therapeutic. It feels like all my stress and anxiety has been transcended into this soothing feeling. Your videos want me to slow down on life and appreciate the little things in life, for instance, a glass of clean drinking water, clean air to breathe, first sunshine of the day falling on face, watering my plants, listening to my favourite music, not judging people and all the little things in life. Thank you for existing, Sophie. Your videos help me breathe☺️

[@MalamaLife]

You are so kind for saying this. Thank you so so much and I am so happy that my videos can bring a moment of calm and slowness into your day. You are right about appreciate the little things in life and I think you just gave me such a good video idea! Thank you so much!

It is such a rewarding feeling ❤ why rush through it ;) thanks for watching

[@deenugent473]

I've been having a little bit of anxiety the past few days and this video reminds me that I need to slow down and enjoy "the moment". We often rush in everything we do, eat, play, work, etc. It's time to slow down and really live life like it's meant to be. Your voice is very soothing and calming by the way!

This is a great lesson in being present! When I do routine everyday things, I run on automatic. I'm not always aware of what I'm doing or I'm not in the moment of doing it. I just do things to get it done with. For example, I have lost my joy in cooking. I see it now as something that I need to get done & over with...rather than relishing in the creation of a meal.

[@eymi_elisa]

@@MalamaLife 😊

[@elansings]

One of the main reasons I’m able to deal with anxiety in a healthy way is because of a technique I learned from Osho on the “art of observing the mind”. “Just like your heart goes on beating constantly, your mind goes on thinking constantly; just like your body goes on breathing constantly, your mind goes on thinking constantly; just like your blood goes on circulating constantly and your stomach goes on digesting continuously, the mind goes on thinking constantly.” “There is no problem in it; it is simple. But you are not identified with the blood circulation; you don’t think that you are circulating. In fact you are not even conscious that the blood circulates; it goes on circulating, you have nothing to do with it. The heart goes on beating; you don’t think that you are beating.” In short, becoming the observer simply means taking a step back from your mind and becoming aware of your thinking patterns and how you’re responding to things.

Some very good points, and I would like to comment on two of them below. But firstly, I would also suggest to minimise or eliminate screen time (phones, laptops, TV's etc) 60-90 minutes before retiring for the night. Conscious breathing is so important in many spiritual traditions. I know that Muslims who follow a certain Sufi path are taught this as one of the first steps on their spiritual development. "the wise seeker must safeguard his breath from heedlessness, coming in and going out, thereby keeping his heart always in the Divine Presence" (Abdul Khaliq al-Ghujdawani (q)) Spending some time reflecting on beauty of the natural world around us is also something invaluable. I am reminded of this quote: "Ralph Waldo Emerson once asked what we would do if the stars only came out once every thousand years. No one would sleep that night, of course. The world would become religious overnight. We would be ecstatic, delirious, made rapturous by the glory of God. Instead the stars come out every night, and we watch television.”" (Paul Hawken)

[@MalamaLife]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I love that you mentioned how conscious breathing is important in many spiritual traditions. It so simple, yet effective and significant to our health, mental health and spirituality. The quote by Paul Hawken was an eye-opener for me. Even though I am already such a proponent of enjoying nature instead our screens, this quote really gave me perspective. We have very little light pollution in Hawaii and the night sky is incredible, yet I have taken this for granted and rarely go outside at night to enjoy the stars...

[@marcusanark2541]

Thanks for your comment! The last sentence about the stars and television is so sad and true, I wonder how to do better.
