TAOISM | The Fasting of the Heart

In psychology, as well as popular culture, we see the emerging of different types of detox. The dopamine detox, for example, also called the ‘dopamine fast’ is currently presented as a way to “reset” our brain’s reward system, by abstaining from all kinds of activities that bring pleasure.
The idea of detoxing ourselves from outside influences isn’t new. The ancient Taoists acknowledged the value of letting our minds rest, so we stop the exhausting maelstrom of judging, identifying, analyzing, fantasizing, et cetera. According to the Taoists, silencing our faculties for a while not only replenishes our energy, it also brings us closer to a mysterious and incomprehensible force referred to as ‘Tao’.
The ‘fasting of the heart’ entails temporary abstinence from intellectual as well as sensual activity. This concept isn’t just about detoxing the mind; it’s about detoxing the soul, by shutting down the mind and the senses. This video explores the ‘fasting of the heart’.

At like three in the morning two nights ago I went on this adventure out into my neighborhood. I sat in the middle of a random person’s lawn and closed my eyes for a moment, getting into a present state. It was this magical and strange time of night where the crickets hadn’t finished their chirping, but the birds had already started singing. The wind moving around me and the lack of sound coming from the highway that was within visual distance was enough to remind me of that ache. I remember weeping because I could finally remember what it felt like. That ache of flowing, gentile but persistent movement on both the inside and the outside along with the feeling that the two were finally able to synchronize. It was so so beautiful.

Who is talking about meditation ? Fasting of the heart is not meditation, all right ? Daoism is not about sitting around all day doing nothing and let others run your life.

Dao is the origin of everything including all our desires. So one with Dao live according to what one desired. It's that simple. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

Our senses are not gateways. They are one way passages, only in, no out. Our mind reacts to outside info and respond with emotions followed by motions. We may respond with an angry emotion and start to punch someone. To stop all our senses is to be dead, which we all must go eventually, just a matter of time. Daoism is about living a joyful life. We can do this by applying filters to the constant bombardments of outside info. Dao allows us to be focused and persistent, like water. We live out all our hearts desires to the fullest, positively, actively, constructively, and optimistically, never go with the flow and never let go. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

[@xFlared]

I work in a warehouse and it's a perfect place with all the noise, tension, and mayhem to learn how to stay calm and disciplined in the worst of situations. After controlling my mind in such a brutal environment controlling it in other places is a piece of cake. I view life as training over self. Over mind, body and soul. Just finding myself in adrenaline filled situations where I want to die is an opportunity to analyze self, take a step back, and understand self of why I feel that way. The idea of letting go helps a lot when you're tested. I learned that intervening in many ways is actually my ego trying to impose itself onto others and eventually almost always comes back to bite you. I'm both a lab rat and a scientist. There's no right or wrong way to live. There's only action and reaction. Cause and effect. That's the way of the dao.

I used to have this problem in my first job in the fast food industry. Believe it or not, i learned to meditate awake, or day dreaming i suppose. The main point is to be out of the world into your fantasy. I shut off my co workers and i was all about my costumers so i knew exactly what orders came in and what got out. Never wanted to be a supervisor because then it will break the trance. But i used the symbol of a robot to be a robot at work , be physically there but spiritually i was in the garden of eden. I noticed people kept complaining no matter how much they changed their job, yes you can work somewhere more easy. But thats what life is , its never easy , outside of the job its never easy. We must learn to always be happy in our my minds even though the world is cruel and destructive.

This video ties in nicely with a book I've just finished called "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle...I highly recommend it, and I highly recommend his teachings in general. He speaks of the ego (the mind) being responsible for our suffering, and how observing our thoughts without judgment, allows us to live in the present, where the ego can not not exist. The present is the only reality, since memories, and anticipation are mere traces of our perceptions. When we give our attention to the present moment, by dissolving the illusions our ego manifests, we automatically fully sense the Tao.

The present ??? What present ? There is no such thing. The moment you realized you are in the present, your illusion of your present is in reality the past. Dao is never about any illusion of the present, but all about our origin and our future. Dao is the origin of everything. The way to live our future in joy is to live according to our hearts' desires, never let go, and never go with the flow of others but create our own flow and make the inevitable inevitable. Dao is everywhere, and Dao is inevitable. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

There are no thoughts

[@jenetgreenfield3667]

When you sit with straight spine (and other daoist principles for meditation - will find somewhere in qigong) you focus on your breathing. Forget anything else, this is your exercise, so focus on it. When you notice your mind slips back to thinking, don't worry, just focus back on the breath. It's good to do some qigong before meditation, that already calms down your mind. Also use your imagination and words, thoughts before meditation, like - all thoughts fly away like white swans, my mind becomes clear as water in the mountain lake, my body becomes still and heavy as a mountain. You must have a real passion and curiosity about what you are able to do, just experiment without attaching to the outcome you wish to accomplish. Just experience what you are doing, be in the moment (now).

[@jenetgreenfield3667]

Body's position is very important. It helps tremendously, only sitting on the chair with straight back, straight eyebrows, facial muscles relaxed, but still having inner smile, feeling "the string" that actually tells your body you are aligned with the earth em field, your jaw slightly turned back, tongue touching the hard pallet/upper teath... Check your muscles throughout your body that they are relaxed. This position alone changes how you feel when you sit still for some time. You may check Mantak Chia. And everything you do, you just learn, never become angry or frustrated, you are just learning and getting better with every time.

I felt the tao once and it is nothing you could ever imagine or even discribe. You than understand that nothing truly 'is' except the tao or what ever you wanna call it

For anyone who is struggling, know that accomplishing getting out of bed and making that bed is a big step ❤ try to add an hour at first of your day to doing something out of your comfort zone. That could be it walking in nature, giving yourself the courage to know you are worthy of fighting your darker self with thoughts of LOVE for the fact you are trying this very day and having hope so be very proud of yourself for that ❤

[@thestreamoflife1124]

One of the better ones. Of course all of your videos are inspiring but this one has reminded me of returning to my regular meditation practice

"For those who practice not-doing, everything will fall into place. " This statement has so much power ❤️

My favourite video thus far

[@AurtisticallySpeaking9]

Your crafting of these teachings is impressive. Thank you for your efforts🙏

[@jwu1950]

Dao is to be not crafted but natural. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

@@AurtisticallySpeaking9 Lao Tzu is 500 years older than Jesus and was well known in the middle east at the time of Jesus. Lao Tzu says, be nice to those who are not nice, and trust those who are not trustworthy. Jesus says, love thy enemies. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

[@matttomlin4331]

Another great video. Thank you for this - definitely something to think about. The concept that the world around us ultimately takes care of itself is particularly thought provoking.

[@jwu1950]

You are not you, and nothing stays the same. The only constant in this universe is change itself. Learn change and you will never be the same again. Let be but never let go. Create your own flow and never follow the flow of others. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

[@hatakewolf01]

Thank you for your videos... I assume you’ve read enough material, reflected on it, lived it , etc... and then condense and write the information of what you’ve learned on to your videos.....they have helped me in someways during the years, .... i just wanted to take this moment to write this comment and express my thanks. Once i get a good job i hope to be a patron for you and other channels that have shared me wisdom From one stranger to another. Thank You!
