How to Overcome Stagnation Part 1

[@moko7682]

That physical movement being connected to intellectual movement is a good reminder. I now remember how as I kid one of my favourite things was just walk back and forth in my grandparents summer cottages yard. Sometimes mindlessly throwing and bouncing some ball as I did. It just came naturally and I had always some creative ideas like stories going on in my head with characters, plot twist etc. It could have looked like I'm mad walking a circle, but it was the very best entertaiment and that physical movement was very important to that thinking process. Maybe instead of meetings where people sit hours and hours in a room they should move instead.. walking a circle or treadmill or something as brainstorming together. And for school kids and students at least one quick excercise/movement break per 60min class, even like minute, could be very beneficial I imagine. I remember how restless and counterproductive for learning it sometimes felt to just sit still when body craved movement so badly.

Nice

[@MeditationSteps]

Yes, it is a part of our nature and the nature demands it.

Thank you Dada 🙏 These principles of overcoming stagnation are so wonderful and effective. I am contantly trying to find a balance between the spiritual, mental, and physical. The biggest obstacle I struggle with is overcoming bad habits such as overeating or eating the wrong things, indulging in unhealthy media, and caffeine. I feel God calling me but these habits are also very powerful. This is my current battle. Thank you for the inspiration 🙏

[@onenessseeker5683]

It's like the video was made for me personally . I know it can't be or wasn't but all these coincidence is tripping me out. Thanks great video

[@themeditatinggamer2264]

This video came up right at a time when I thought to myself, "I'm not sure what I should be doing now. What should I do?" Thank you Dada :)

[@jasminahristovska2107]

The same for me..🤗

[@steveinwales7839]

Not just stagnating Dada, but going backwards! Thank you for another inspirational video to pull me back on track. Namaskar.

[@MeditationSteps]

Keep coming for Collective Meditation, it will get you through the challenges.

[@healthyminds1748]

Thank you. Your talk is so good provoking us to think growth and positive. Look forward to hear ALL your discourses.

[@zudabenhur]

It's so easy to relate to your teachings Dada. It could be because you are talking out of experience and you are so true to the raw human nature and imperfections. Thank you for sharing this precious knowledge with us. This is exactly what I need to follow. My only issue is I am Kapha heavy so tend to get lazy at execution :p it would be great if you could share some knowledge on the various body types. Looking forward to part 2 of this video.

[@yoya4766]

Like other commentators, I needed to hear this so much. I'm familiar with the ideas, but how you chose those 5 things and explained them I can understand and put them into practise. Thank you so much. I didn't have high hopes when I began listening, but am so glad I did. My difficulty was first living with (as an adult), then living near parents who are like the living dead. It zapped all my life energy. It's not deliberate on their part, just a reflection of their life and health. I never managed to climb out of that dark place, I just sank with them. This happened due to the very negative influence of an immature bf. I don't think I've forgiven him or myself.

[@MeditationSteps]

Glad you find this video helpful and good luck!

[@Vrstrubo]

What a charming person Dada you are! I love when you sing as your expression of love is incredibly intense. I am in tears of joy knowing that certain human beings exist. I really wish the world understands that having this charismatic nature is one of the best virtues to have in this material world!

[@maha77]

Great video with practical advice that is often not included in such talks! Also I love that chant at the end, is there a long version available?

[@maryamalizadeh3288]

For me it’s very magical to hear your video, i am from Iran and a little familiar with some part of your speech in our culture ... i just wanna appreciate for your positive energy and really like to send you some beautiful iranian music. I wanna to introduce one singer who is very famous in Iran . Homayoun Shajarian ... i really recommend to hear his voice ... it can open our wings ... thx for spreading love and peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌺

[@devidarsana]

Love you Dada! You sooo cool! Thanks for your teachings... I just to listen pink floyd too. Sometimes we forget how beautiful is to find spiritual bells on art. Blessings!

[@snazyuploads21]

Dada, your presence of loving mother radiates thru you, thru the video, into my being. Dada, I desire much to be apart of the monastics full time...

[@MeditationSteps]

You are very kind

[@jaijaisun2282]

One of the most effective ways for me to maintain a forward-moving expansion is to avoid falling into the hole of stagnancy and regression in the first place by maintaining a discipline in my habits. Besides the techniques that you mentioned, I find I get an almost immediate push in the right direction when I abstain from the internet, essentially a techno-fast -- no news, no social media, no "entertainment"-- for at least one day. Afterwards, I use it only as a tool -- for messages and for essential intellectual "food" as you said. I cannot tell you how much more focus and motivation I have when I'm not trapped in the web, but connected rather to my path. Namaskar, Dada, I thank you as always.

[@yoya4766]

So what brought you here? You know KZbin on the WWW.

Thanks a lot again. Very insightful and clearly explained. As always. Its always a pleasure to get some ideas from you

[@eliasrolf6648]

Thank you Dada! This was the advice I needed after being quite scattered and lost in a bundle of tasks and thoughts. I now see more clearly.

[@norpafro]

Inspiring as always, I like uniforms too, I think Einstein had 7 suits all the same that he would wear. Thanks, Dada

[@gjkoolen]

Thank you for the good advice. My way of avoiding stagnation is to write to-do lists (daily/weekly), and make sure to put tasks on it that being me forward. Just to kindly remind myself, and reflect later on in a kind way (not judging). So I plan meditations, reading books, clean up the house, sports, etc. And also learning new skills.. Maybe useful for others?

[@MeditationSteps]

Yes, I think it is excellent, thank you for sharing.

[@michaelcook2290]

Thanks for the vids. Stagnancy is real.

[@4michael4]

Thank you Dada 🙏 you are so inspiring 🙏 and can share your knowledge so directly. Appreciate your work so much and hope one day I will spend some time in your retreat center 🙏💚

[@tatianaansell8831]

Thank you, this video comes in the middle of a very busy, long, hard-working period for me. Reminds me that movement is life :) Dada, please do a separate video on how to resist a desire to eat during a fasting day.

[@goodday8426]

Dont forceably do fasting by slowly increase fasting time, if you feel hungry eat dont suppress it. Example when you are child you like toys, but when you grow naturally you loose intrest in toys.

[@injujuan8993]

Thanks Dada! So spot on.👍❤💚❤💚❤💚❤👍

regular fasting is good, but without water - no good. during the fasting you should drink even more water than usual. it helps the system to clean itself (if your kidneys are functioning properly). Dry fasting brings your liver, your kidneys and your intestines on a collision course. ah, Pink Floyd, now we're talking. what about 2 great guitar solos in Comfortably numb, what about all Dark side of the moon, what about, Shine on you crazy diamond? What about Child in time by Deep Purple? What about Kashmir by Led Zeppelin? What about Night at the opera by Queen? finishing your tasks is part of Santosha Sadhana. Breaking a task into a small steps is an art. there is a funny saying - How you eat an elephant? one bite at the time. Same goes to how you write a novel? one word at the time. How you win a tennis match? one point at the time and so on. it requires motivation, determination, sometimes resilience, and always patience. Remember - Rome was not build in one day. But how all these nice ideas and suggestions help with stagnation? so far, not so much. ah, writing your tasks down for the next day is actually very helpful. Unloading your mind is just one aspect of it. The more potent aspect is that it makes difference if you think something, if you say it, if you write it down. What is the difference? it comes down to elements. If you think something it is mostly fire element mixed with Akash. not very stabil. If you say something, the same energy get mixed with Air element, so it supports the fire of the thought. still not very stabil, but stronger. If you write it down - the Earth element is anchor it down, giving it a substance. But don't write down your big plans - write down the smallest steps, which you can achieve in 24 hours. When the day is done - reflect, adjust and move on. oh, last advise about clothing and not needed to respond and to adjust to certain aspects of life is stupid one. Why? many reasons, but the main one is - there are no small and big things in life. Each aspect of life is equally important. another one is decision making. If you are avoiding your decisions, you are avoiding your freedom. No need to decide can be comfortable, but not liberating.

I sit to meditate and daydream, when I finish I think 'did I meditate, or daydream!?"

[@MeditationSteps]

Perhaps you need to gather determination to seriously meditate even if it is 15 min and then sit with the utmost seriousness, you will get through the scattered mind and meditate to your great satisfaction.

many people dismiss the intellectual part, or the other way round.

[@karengamble-huymann3562]

Hello from Austria. Thank you for this video, it helps me a lot because I am having similar experiences and now I understand them better. A big issue of mine is the heaviness of other people. I work as a language trainer with individuals or small groups of max. 5 people and after 2 or 3hrs of hard work the energy in the room is like treacle/ molasses and it is pulling me down, even when the students are progressing well. I feel that they pass all their worries on to me and as an empath I just suck them up. I normally take the bus home but now I 'll try walking home at a fast pace, concentrating on my breathing. Does anybody hv any other recommendations?

[@MeditationSteps]

Yes, there is such a thing, I do suffer from it sometimes too. What helps me is a strong resolve to look at people not as people but as if they are veritable expressions of divine. In this way the mind comes in touch with the purest part of the person, the Consciousness.

[@richardfredlund3802]

Meditation steps, for me a game called ultrabullet. it is speed chess, where you have only 15 seconds on the clock, in which to play the whole game. chess like a computer game. if you like it is an active meditation, which requires alertness, almost like a type of sparring. The metaphore to karma and darma is simple. in ultrabullet there is a kind of objective reality, of the state on board. Being aware of the truth, of the position on board in a move, equates to darma. So it is with the truth, it simply is. as the truth is infinite, and our articulations are finite, it is not possible to say the truth the whole truth and nothing but. In fact our articulations can only ever be approximate. (like the finger pointing at the moon, it is not the moon, but only points the direction -- another analogy might equate the truth with polen, for bees. ) As a player of ultrabullet, I am essentially navigating through an interface, on the board in the game. My actions constitute a decision process. At each moment I actively decide, .. this is different to an observer. Sir I guess with my finger pointing at the moon, the best point I can make is that the conscious is not only the observer, but is really the navigator.

[@MeditationSteps]

Interesting way. Kicking yourself into the state of concentration. Great!
