Listen to your heart | Schoscho Rufener | TEDxHWZ

[@teclio7379]

Oh the highs and lows, your heart will get you through!

[@jankyrose5449]

Absolutely SchoScho! The voice inside your heart is your true self, the thing that's at the core of your being.

[@tyeziika]

We all need to listen!

[@phillipnorris3rd]

thanks for the link!

[@emmie-cruz]

“Sometimes this little distance of 30-20cms from our mind to our heart is the longest distance”. So powerful.

[@jus-t-s]

What a soft soulful man 😌😌😌

[@phillipnorris3rd]

Lost my dad to heart attack, this brought back memories and the thoughts I had then, to fulfil my life more.

[@kristyphoney]

He's an absolute dream

[@russhearn]

Wow it's so hard to imagine such a life-changing event. I'm glad this man could use it to create some positive changes in his life.

[@johnathanbrayton]

We all have this power

[@kurstank1953]

A clear and simple message- I think it is one we all know, yet need to be constantly reminded of.

[@aleidbarend]

The title is perfect, as is this TED Talk, thank you so much Schoshco..

[@jorenduran]

I'm glad that moment was able to change his life for the better, and that he could use the platform he already had to encourage mindfulness and positivity

[@declanmackenzie0001]

I really like this, this guy has got a really nice way about him.

[@therightway8115]

STOP- Stop, Take a step back, Observe what is happening, Proceed mindfully. I learnt this acronym in therapy many years ago and I use it whenever my mind gets flustered and I feel that there is no time.

[@sylzoor4183]

I LOVE THIS TALK AND THIS MAN!

[@fannybottom]

A beautiful man with a beautiful talk!

[@tristan-bailey]

A few minutes of nothing seem so difficult to find when there is so much happening and so many other ways we could spend that time, but it is invaluable!

[@phillipnorris3rd]

How true, thanks for sending to me!

[@olgasladekova]

My first 10 day silent retreat, I remember how confronted I was and then around day 6 something just clicked. I found space and balance, the hours of meditation were meaningful and insightful, rather than painful and long. After the retreat, this was a common experience for most other at around the day 6 mark. Going back to talking and life after that was a shock to the system, but oh how quickly we slip into old ways. Retreats like this, away from all of that stimulus, are vital for connecting with the self.

[@Me-lolahernandez]

The ending mediation was just what I needed today. I was guided here.

[@blaisedominique]

I think in the world of performance, ‘Life Happens’ is a bit of an understatement! You have to think on your toes at all times because the momentum means things are constantly shifting and changing.

[@janetsplace1953]

Thank you for sharing this with me, he is lovely!

[@sandycrisp4518]

The way he describes his life, there is no wonder he had heart issues! There is something in our world that says ‘unless you are doing, you are nothing’. We think it is normal to live in a constant state of stress and, sadly, that is how we need to behave to get ahead. You can be in perfect health on the surface, but high stress does damage.

[@sonyakirby]

Well, this was a surprise. Cool talk by a handsome man who has faced some major adversity. Well done SchoScho!

[@hannahyvictoria]

haha, agree

[@verymarysalisbury]

It's such an eerie feeling, when you're walking around and going through the motions but not really connecting to anything. Glad you were able to overcome that Schoscho!

[@janetsplace1953]

yes it is!

[@phillipnorris3rd]

same same from me!

[@viccromtron]

I just can't imagine the shock of waking up in an emergency room struggling for your life. Such a powerful thing to overcome.

[@buzzboxes]

I just love the way this guy speaks. You can really tell he's coming from a place of authenticity and peace of mind.

[@glenda-russell]

I really enjoyed the parts about working with your body. It's crazy how much trauma we store in our bodies and the way it all starts to come out when we move them in gentle yet focused ways.

[@rosiealturo14]

What an amazing life this man has led!

[@sorphealove3321]

An absolutely beautiful talk by a beautiful man, bless you Schoscho! 😌

[@emmasmythe]

Great point "11 wise words." I hear it and I do it all the time. They should behave better, they are this or that. I am make me accountable to my own behaviour. Anything else is a judgement or some sort of command.

[@macyduens]

bless you for sharing this with me and the group!

[@teddybearlemaire]

I love when he got to the part about how he could combine the things he learnt at the monastery with his existing skillset. Such a beautiful way to merge those two parts of himself.

[@brodyalexandra]

He clearly has a real sense of connecting people, and that shines through in this talk.

[@bagostan1898]

What a calming talk given from a space of heart and experience. Thank you!

[@mygiftisme]

How lovely his friends are to bring him food and support him

[@elliotneason]

What a lovely man, so gentle and kind.

[@saajidahlip]

Love is the answer!

[@taylorpjansen]

Such a wonderful story and what a beautiful transition for this man,

[@honeyissweetforme]

He's so beautiful

[@TheRealJay-Jay]

I am able to find a middle ground through grounding and flow. I prioritise grounding (mindfulness, yoga) every single day and I commit to the work I do when I do it by putting my phone and other distractions away.

[@leotencall]

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” ― Dr. Seuss

[@matTveshka]

this guy has a real spark about him

[@terasalam401]

YES!! Thank you for these beautiful and wise words! I cried both times I watched it and shared it with everyone I know! This is how we show LOVE!!!

[@ezekielaliss]

What an energetic and extrovert lifestyle he used to live. He clearly had a passion for his career

[@dreamyboyd4588]

I am 100% all for this message. People should be encouraged to do this from birth!

[@peoplepower100]

Sometimes all we need is a little perspective, but we forget that in order to gain that you need to get a little distance between yourself and the thing you're viewing.

[@suebakernottly]

Very true PP.

[@Iamshawnawashington]

Such a beautiful human! I'm glad he got to have this journey, the calmness suits him so much.

[@magnusseverson]

What a great TED talk. This is what TED is about.

[@IPlayLofiTunes]

I love his vibe, and I think the part where he talks about being able to tell if someone had the authenticity to be on stage is really indicative of his spirit and intuition. Very happy for him that he's gotten back to a place of honouring that.

[@danabailey3887]

I really liked this talk, his nature is so gentle that he is genuine in my eyes and heart.

[@lornabalanag]

Beautifully said sir, well done. Our heart is our softest and strongest muscle.

[@emmatshields]

Heartfelt and raw. I love this talk.

[@annerossiter]

Such a beautiful man, and his talk is the answer, love will save us all.

[@basilfaulty7643]

It's really amazing what happens when we just slow down and learn to connect with the universe!

[@loveronthesunid]

understanding and empathy opens the heart and soul.

[@ammarshasivari9820]

this message needs to be received by a lot of men and teenagers.

[@rongigz]

It's amazing how we can become so different and removed from what's at the core of who we are, glad this lovely soul was able to rediscover his true self and share it with the world.

[@slowmodern]

What a amazing man with such a huge heart!

[@bilbobaggins3rd]

He lived such a full and meaningful life beforehand. And although he isn’t living life like that anymore, I feel that his passion to serve others has been maintained though this talk. What a wonderful soul.

[@cedrickdroui]

'The mind has knowledge and the heart has wisdom.' This is a really poignant distinction.

[@kingbrantley]

I loved that he demonstrated how to connect to your heart, really needed that.

[@ayaanthetruth]

We learnt this in junior school is PE for meditation - I just ASSUMED we all knew how.

[@charliebrownabel]

Loosing your independence like this would be so shocking to the system. Especially when you are used to looking after others and running things. This is truly a life changing experience.

[@qaysdeshante]

'...the mind fights against it because it's losing it's dominance.' I'm really glad he included this, I've been wondering why it's been so hard for me to make the changes he's talking about.

[@therealjuanschmidt]

I’ve been doing his little meditation heart-connection thing for a week and I’m starting to feel like I can actually achieve some of these dreams. Best guy Schoscho! Thank you!

[@nelwashington]

I'm in love!!

[@alionafrunza5838]

Such an incredible transition, from club life in the 80's to a silence retreat with monks, I can't imagine how profoundly that would affect your psyche and energy.

[@bencycaitlin]

Soothing. So soothing.

[@kinsleydanton]

Perfect discussion to have now!

[@alextoutaev]

What a journey!

[@frasernicholson8509]

A silent retreat must have been such a shock after the fast-paced life he led!

[@bestpractice4040]

I loved when he touched on yoga helping him to reground himself! It's such an amazing way to reconnect with your body and how it's like a different kind of exercise because the way you're exerting yourself is quite gentle and calm compared to other types of exercise.

[@dr.adarshahirwal5759]

love isn’t a luxury IT IS A NECESSITY! Have empathy, have hope, have FAITH!!!

[@xavierdistaple8620]

Everything thats good, starts and ends with love!

[@myfavoritestories]

Clear. And. Very deep message too who can read. Behind the words. Lovely. Thanks. Wish you all the best New York...

[@esmeraldaximena]

Thank you!!

[@ameyhousten]

Obsessed with him!

[@grgames8606]

I wonder if love is exclusive to humans. Great speech!

[@laycienega]

Wonderful talk, Schoscho

[@talismesmer]

Life shifting experiences have a way of helping us to embark on more balanced practices and approaches. It sounds like this was a timely message for him to shift gears.

[@geenaremsby]

What a life this man has led! Especially all that stuff about trying to put events on in Russia in the early 80's, very brave.

[@stanchance]

What an incredible journey...

[@subhadipgaming9469]

Beautiful speech. I Agree.

[@shannonnikita]

Love means everything!

[@sofiatclara]

ALWAYS REMEMBER - love is a passion for understanding and empathy which opens up the heart into the soul - music transcends it - and humanity blends it...

[@myfavoritestuff]

I just want to hug you man.

[@levisenns]

True man very true, anger and hate never solved anything.

[@tarasuppleton]

So true!

[@hannahyvictoria]

If we all just came to choices from our hearts society would be much better and more equal.

[@billconconi3996]

Really good and important talk!

[@boronisourav]

The world's fine. It's the people that need to change.

[@julianm8639]

This is cool, coming from where he did to where he is!

[@DocoHalle-it4eh]

STAND OUT AMAZING MESSAGE.

[@xavierilorenzo]

Yes, there is something in us that is more than logic and intellect, and we feel it but we don’t often trust it because we are told that ‘listening to your heart’ and ‘intuition’ are unpredictable and not based in hard facts. We need to open up to that and let go of the hard line society has made us believe is true so we can live to our full potential.

[@gamingwithsehzada9641]

I feel moved!!

[@earlyeaston]

I find it so sad that when people have these transformations they lose so many 'friends' in the process.

[@ND_LYRICS]

This is beautiful and i'm inspired!

[@levshalazar]

We need this thinking now...

[@IAmTheRealMagicMan]

We always have

[@iamaspacefreak]

I went researching about this guy and he has a pretty impressive career history and I think is a yoga teacher as well? Would completely love to join in one of his classes!

[@zeldaselsta]

I have found such inspiration through his talk.

[@livingclear5028]

This is a good man...

[@sarahjaimeson6294]

love love love!!!

[@lauratherealdealfinnigan]

Loves cures all!

[@robyncrosby666]

I will listen for my wisdom more from this point on.

[@sukyevers]

I wonder if he had this way of talking before that experience? I feel like the language he uses reveals a lot about where his spirit is at.

[@angel_rai]

Love this!

[@russhearn]

2nd time watching this one because it's really a beautiful reminder.

[@lannydaslin]

Gosh that must have been so scary, to just wake up and not know how or why you've ended up in the emergency room.

[@movemetoexcel]

No kidding, that's a kick. Thanks for sending me the link Lanny!

[@gamingwithsehzada9641]

Most of the women I know are already very compassionate and empathetic.
