God - I need to build equanimity in my life. I have a great life on paper. But over the years I have become so reactive and bristle at the smallest things that are not to my liking. It is grinding me down. Thanks for the video!

[@Marcain86]

My therapist recommended this video to me. I’ve been having trouble with practicing mindfulness. I enjoyed the video and I’m going to try to accept the moments that are generating my anxieties and be present with them.

[@BeingIntegrated]

Ah so great to hear! A lot of the practices on my page are very much equanimity oriented (check the “Breaking Free from Stuck Patterns” video). :)

[@jilliandougherty7478]

Am loving these “micro hits”...getting much clearer...looking forward to more...the clarity you bring around mindfulness is “mega helpful.” 🌈🌈

[@taebond007]

This is my OPPORTUNITY to PRACTICE EQUANIMITY for I am staying calm. I refuse to go into fight or flight mode. I refuse to allow my sympathetic nervous system to get out of whack today I will stay calm, cool and collected. I speak this into existence NOW Amen Ase’ 💜🙏🏽🌸

[@BeingIntegrated]

Hey the thing with equanimity is it’s not about staying calm or refusing anything, it’s a lot welcoming the experience. If you start to go into fight/flight, you welcome that, you don’t resist, and this actually keeps you more calm overall. Resisting your experience or trying to control it is what creates more inner conflict. By accepting your experience, whatever it is, over time you find real calm. You don’t get calm by trying it be calm, you get calm by being ok with whatever is happening. 🙏❤️✨

[@taebond007]

@@BeingIntegrated I appreciate you even more I accept what is and I move through it with ease and Grace I will also learn more about equanimity and what it is.

Excellent content! Keep up the good work. You explain the concepts very well, very helpful for a thinking type like me who’s trying to get out of his head.

[@MollysMindofficial7]

Amazing. Thank you :)

[@shyaaammeneen63]

Very informative video. Onerr more practical suggestion. Be careful what you feed your mind. Avoid comparing yourself with others, reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 10-15-20 minutes or more. You can sit or lay down anywhere-anytime. No deep breathing. Don’t fight your thoughts. With practice the mind will relax. Keep a reminder to observe your breath sensations throughout the day and night at home, at work, when travelling etc with eyes open or closed. One more tip is to sit on a chair without moving, be still and observe your breath. Stillness reduces thoughts and brings relief. Like me make this a lifetime habit to have a better life. Best wishes--Counsellor.

This is so helpful, thank you 🙏 I just discovered your channel and acceptance is something I am aware I need to work on.

[@janinegoldie2984]

Such a great video, it’s hard to explain, and understand equanimity but you nailed it, and it is was interesting to hear how early emotional trauma can impact physical recovery in later life. Thanks 😊

[@artesian12]

Brings me such peace. This concept reduces my suffering in the face of personal attacks. Thanks

[@johnnicholls5344]

Childhood trauma stops us from healing physically. That is so helpful to know and this finding is evidence based too. So reassuring. 😊

[@jzplayr]

Thanks! So spot on, just what I needed right now. Thanks for your attention to lighting, audio quality and content.

[@MusicaErika]

I am getting a more clear understanding of equanimity re-watching this video how powerful. I have practiced in meditation, but now makes more sense. 🙏

[@thayna1586]

Just found your channel through an Anna Psychology's video, and I'm so glad. It came to me in a moment when I'm really dedicated about learning and practicing mindfulness, and your videos give me some great insights. Awesome job!

[@Mike-tr8zy]

[@OracleAlkhemy]

I received this video in divine timing. I was listening to this while driving and at the exact moment that you gave the example of the spider, a tiny spider crawled across the wheel in my car. 🕷 amazing how the universe works. ✨️ so helpful, thank you !!

[@BeingIntegrated]

Amazing!! So cool that aligned!

[@jenniferdelbove4116]

Your videos are amazing! The one where we touch our body where the “chaos”in the body is was amazing! Once we brought attention to where it was, once I did, it took away its hold on me. It diffused the discomfort and I was so relaxed. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@BeingIntegrated]

Awesome so great to hear, thanks so much for the comment :)

[@marblesthecat3861]

Keep it up, your channel will grow

[@Reddepex]

Wauw, that's a clear lesson. Thanks!

This was so eye-opening. I hope you'll make more videos. I learned more about myself in these 11 mins than in 11 years!

Yes I’m still making videos :)

[@josesantana27]

Nameste, I am a new subscriber to your channel. Really appreciate your insight and explanation on how to become unattached to past trauma and difficulties. I have been studying Hinduism and the principles of attachment to things outside of Ourselves. And just as important learning to be even keel with both good and bad circumstances or experiences. Thank you!

thank you for this teaching

[@pamelastar6648]

Yes! I can feel myself closing up as I become irritated. I don't really want it moving thru me but that is what it's doing. So, shall I practise opening to the feeling itself, rather than opening my heart to what set me off?

[@flouflis1a]

To be equanimous, is a choice!

very stoic philosophy-esque

Yes Buddhism and Stoicism have a lot in common

yoga helps you not to crucify yourself for bad behavior or result,with equanimity tolerance of necessary becoming

[@ray3063]

Great video! But how to practice the technique of mindfulness? Do we have to meditate every day to bring mindfulness into our day?

[@ray3063]

@@BeingIntegrated I've been practicing mindfulness and meditating for about 3 months, but I can only maintain from wake up until lunch. It's hard to stay mindful in the evening. Do you have any tips to bring mindfulness throughout the day?

[@jsohi0082]

Hey do you have a guided meditation on equanimity based on what you said? Thank you

[@BeingIntegrated]

Yes I have a few. If you go to my main page you will see an equanimity playlist with 3 guided meditations for equanimity (I’m going to also add them in the description of this video)

[@BeingIntegrated]

Hey I just realized the guided meditations are already linked in the description of this video :)

[@MikeyedPeas]

And if im christian and not buddhist?

[@BeingIntegrated]

Hey equanimity is just about acceptance. It doesn’t matter if you’re Christian or Buddhist. In Christianity I believe the idea of grace is related to equanimity. It’s trusting God’s will, accepting each moment as it is. Hope this helps 🙏

[@EricZucchini]

Thank you for this series! The part of me where I feel "it" is usually the lower body parts centered around and focused on the anus. From the lower belly to the thighs. I've also been diagnosed with IBS, so maybe it's related? It's sorta embarrassing to say this, but maybe someone will relate.

[@BeingIntegrated]

Hey I'm not sure on the current research, but there's absolutely a correlation between stress/anxiety/trauma and IBS. Very very common to see this, I know many people, both friends and clients, who have IBS. Keep doing these practices for sure, it will definitely help ease the stress on your body.

How do I find Buddhist therapists in Atlanta Georgia?

[@sleep4103]

i am a fan of your videos and they already helped me a lot and i know you mean well. but the story that you tell in the intro about the study has a bunch of severe logical leaps because someone has trouble to heal from whiplash and had childhood traume doesnt mean that thats what caused that. Its wrong to then go create a narrative around this little study about fundamental things and about how the brain develops and works. Thats what pseudo science also does. i get that you need a story kind of as a promise of happyness and a selffulfilling prophecy for your viewers and customers. But please be more careful in the future when telling about scientific and not philosophical things.

[@BeingIntegrated]

Hey I appreciate your feedback but I’m also not sure exactly what part you’re taking issue with. If you check out the book The Trauma Spectrum by Robert Scaer you’ll see his evidence is extremely convincing… he did many studies and I believe his science is solid. That being said of course not everyone who doesn’t heal from whiplash has unprocessed childhood trauma, but in his work that was the case most of the time. There are never absolutes and always outliers, but overall I think the science is solid in this case. Anyhow thanks for your kind words and I’m glad me videos have helped you and I will also be more careful in the future to say that in these situations it’s never a 100% correlation.
