Finding Meaning and Purpose - How Spirituality Will Change Your Life

[@bernadette230]

I am so grateful for you. Ive had chronic back pain since 28. (16 years) Its directly connected to certain stressors. I will now contemplate my resistance in these situations. No use in going against the river. The river flows.

[@meetgwen]

As I arrive at the park amd remove my shows to ground on the earth - I go to my youtube and ask the divine to send me exactly the message I need to hear today. I had never before heard of you or this channel and this is what popped up this morning! I love, love, loved it so much. Grateful heart ❤

[@MaryHelenAwakened]

That's how I found the channel, knowing that what I would watch would be exactly what I needed. It always is! 😊

[@deborahcarter4408]

I have an auto-immune disease, I can stay healthy if I'm unstressed. Sometimes in meditation, found myself, up walking around, back to the floor. Difficult at first, my animals and garden bring me peace. You are a blessing. I'm 65, I wish I would have, followed my heart, I am now and never felt this joyful in life, can't wait to see, what meditation will do. Thank-You

[@jackiefindlay1264]

My heart is filled with gratitude for the journey you have made to bring you to a place where you are helping so many dear souls. Myself included! Blessings to all.🙏💙

[@AriElfyn]

Agreed Jackie… ❤🙏 I’m afraid I’m not sure if the previous comment was saying that Neale Donald Walsch is the only one who hears God or if it was about the Bible…but regardless, there are so many whose journeys who inspire and encourage us on our own, and God/Source/Awareness - I begin to lose it once I try to name it - speaks to and is in every single one of us equally…it just depends how aware we are and how open and willing to listen. Todd helps! ❤🙏

[@johnleebass]

Beautiful, raw interview, thank you. I knew in the 1st grade something was different, and that I wasn't going to fit in, and for over 40 years I struggled, resisted, relapsed a few times to drug, alcohol-- a recipe for disaster to get my thoughts to subside, to cope with what I endured professionally, eventhough I was spiritual, always a believer, I lost faith, didn't think such enlightenment was possible-- the hardest part was/is knowing there are so few of *us* tapped in, and without a firm grip, knowing who you are, not tapped into your inner being, that so few are able to break from the matrix, are unaware of our Gifts, *we* are viewed as weirdos, which made my struggle so exhausting, that I began a new path (5/2022), leading to my spiritual Awakening (5/2022), and also led me to your videos. Thank you. 💫🙏

[@nannettegoldberg4700]

You are Definitely an Awakened Being.And a Light Worker..Welcome to The Awakened Ones . Namaste🙏🌟🌅

[@AriElfyn]

Oooh is there a special group called The Awakened Ones? Are you the president, or a spokesperson? I’m curious. How honoured Todd is to be welcomed into the fold! (I was probably supposed to capitalise many of those words, alas I am merely one of the many on this incredible , painful, miraculous journey of awakening and the remembrance of who and what I truly am…

[@brandonlee8558]

I love Todd. This guy (you.. if you’re reading this, Todd) are amazing, connected and a blessing to the earth.. but am I the only one who is/was super distracted by the wind chime/ noises in the background throughout this video? Great video still.. and I know I can be easily distracted… but the noises were fairly loud and distracting at times 😬 But I am still so thankful for this person and this video. Makes me feel less alone. Still so many good people out there.

[@bernietmusic]

Thank you for sharing your story, journey and wisdom. Im finding it very interesting and helpful in my own search for inner peace and understanding my purpose!

[@lindamcginnis5741]

Thank you for sharing, Todd. Your videos inspire me to get rid of un-needed stuff!

[@spacthred6083]

"You are the hero of that story." Thank you so much

[@londonirishfella9562]

So ordinary, so extraordinary. Todd Perelmuter, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you.

[@stevebonder3571]

I am currently reading your book, "Death, Life and Oneness" and really enjoying it. Keep sharing your wisdom with us. It's healping us all grow spiritually.

[@paddymush1]

I did not know of his book, thanks I will get it . Do you know where its available

[@TZVnt]

@@paddymush1 you should be able to find a link in the community part of his KZbin. He has posted it like a week ago or so. Enjoy reading :)

[@ToddPerelmuter]

Thanks for the interest. It's available on Amazon.

[@kevinkemble3718]

“Completely engaged in something” …”the only time this voice takes a break.” I understand “putting things off to later.” …. “How to be present” “sit in that stillness” Thank you for the content.

[@Valerygallery]

You are truly a beautiful soul. So grateful I found you. 🙏❤

[@pamelaforehan4249]

Thanks

[@SondraHaley]

I know I didn’t stumble upon your channel by mistake, I was ready and needed to hear your insight and wisdom. I was ready and it all resonated with me, like you said “we already know.” However, hearing it spoken in such a calm manner, real and not scripted, a genuine sharing and conversation made this knowing even more real. The video, the impromptu presentation, the scenery, the instrumental music created a positive ambiance. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

[@mariaelbasotillo871]

Thank you Todd I am listening to you.. And I like it It sounds real to me🤗

[@J-RiverBrat]

I would like to say thank you for publishing this video. It found me today as I've been needing guidance on my journey and I am so very grateful for the experiences that you share. I woke up 8 months ago to find out that my journey had just begun... seeking guidance and understanding today your experiences were shown to me Thank you🙏

[@GaryAskwith1in5]

Thought I found the perfect video to share this with my girlfriend who I'm visiting today at a psychiatric facility she needs to hear it and she's happiest when in water so she could empathise with Todd, but then realised she'd probably smash her phone because of the background wind chime noise, they are a massive trigger for her provoking her to anger and violence!

[@bettythompson7974]

I would like it if the background music in your videos was at a lower volume. I want to hear your voice more and the music quieter. I love listening to you.

[@jamesburns2524]

Thank you Todd I really like your work.Where do you live it looks beautiful.

[@jennyconnatty7635]

Thank you so much again Todd... yes we are all one - keep helping us to remember that. 🌷

[@dianapaloma3102]

Medicine for the soul. I’m going to listen to this over and over. THANK YOU. You spoke to my heart and soul on sooooo many levels. ❤️🙏

[@meditating-mind]

Beautiful interview that was very relatable ❤

[@GRANDMA4PEACE]

I came across The Power of Now on cassette tapes. It is a classic for sure.

[@poojaagnihotri4009]

Inspiring

[@surarnateli6462]

Breath of fresh air listening to you

[@Christine-tj3vc]

Dear Todd, I am in a 12 step addiction program, where we are taught to practice spiritual principles in all our affairs, and it has been helpful in arresting some of my thinking. Lately, I have felt the need to further my spiritual development, and what I have found in listening to you, is that you give me a deeper understanding of mindfulness, gratitude, self awareness and love and compassion towards others. Thank you for the gift you share so generously with others, and you are certainly helping me.

[@viridianacarreon7203]

Wonderful!

[@anjanaambaram8499]

Namaste Todd, I came across you on KZbin and was blown away after hearing your talks. Since then I am hooked on your topics and the way you share your knowledge. Even my spouse who is not spiritual is also listening to your knowledge. I have a guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Art of Living. Todd, you are definitely now my second Guru. Your calmness and patience before answering any questions remind me soooo much of my Guru Sri Sri. Grateful you are a bekon of light for all the souls yearning for some reawakening to walk on their spiritual journey. God bless you abundantly ❤ much love Anjana Ambaram South Africa

[@sisters4ever989]

[@dimiseta8110]

I am so happy to have found you…at least here in youtube 😅🙏🏼🥰

[@marcijlo]

Todd I so enjoyed this interview! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@susanswinny588]

I believe you're right, Todd. I walk in the morning often. If I'm up to walking briskly, my day gets off to a great start from deeper breathing naturally. I tend to notice to my breath throughout my day, which keeps me calmer and more present. I do mantra chanting as a way to breath deeply and lift my vibration when I'm indoors at home. Singing/chanting, especially when done in unison with others like singing in a choir or a church helps depression and stress, according to some studies. I'm 71 years old. I've considered retiring because my job is deadline driven and therefore stressful sometimes. But my job is a great teacher. It provides opportunities to be kind to others and receive kindness. It also provides opportunities to be in the flow state. So for now, it's good to work. If I could be a vlogger as teacher like you, I'd do that. But not sure I'd be as good as you at it. And yes, we are all connected in this universe.

[@MaryHelenAwakened]

Namaste 🙏🏻 Thank you, as always, for sharing this. I've come to believe that the brain must be educated to what the soul already knows. I'm grateful to be on the journey...

[@denisehay8895]

I just love your videos Todd. You mention Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now. I think everyone can remember where they were when they first came across this life changing book. I bought my first copy in a bookshop in Totnes, England and it had a big effect on my life. Eckhart mentions a book called A Course in Miracles and that has also had a huge effect on my life. Deep gratitude to you. Have a blessed Christmas.

[@nicolebrewer4959]

Thank you for sharing your story. I had my spiritual awakening about a yr ago, but had been questioning who am I and what is my purpose for a few years now. Left a very toxic relationship, sold all my belongings, left my home and went across the US more than once. However, I feel so lost in my journey. I don't know what my gifts are, I struggle quieting my mind in meditation. I struggle so much!!! 😩

Every time I listen to you speak in your videos I am reminded that I need to trust harder in the universe. I discovered your channel a month or two ago and every time I see one it’s exactly what I need to hear. Thank you so much for doing this work and sharing your messages. Is there a way to get in contact with you? I smiled so hard when you said you gave everything away and bought a one way ticket to India to go within and learn what needs to be learned. And you’re always learning still. I really want to know where you went in India. I feel a similar calling

[@khylton8938]

Do you practice grounding? If so, I'd love to hear about your experience and/or thoughts on the topic. It has made a profound positive impact for me. Still in progress, always will be, but i find it a great way to truly connect and be in the present moment. I lost my daughter ( most heartwrenching and hardest to find purpose again as its an entire "new" lane of reality), my father was murdered 4 months prior (still no closure), and lost my brother (only sibling) ...all within 5yrs. And i am disabled. I am spiritual. Ive been grasping to learn higher awareness, however, to keep my sanity at bay. Much love and gratitude to you for sharing your experiences and wisdom. Much love to everyone listening here too. ❤

[@zashluv]

I came across your first video last week, and now watching your videos has become a part of my daily routine. Achieving a constant state of a blank and empty mind, truly living in the present, is a dream I wish to attain. I started living in the present about six months ago. However, a friend noticed and mentioned that I was doing so, and since then, I have struggled to maintain that presence , it seems i could never go back to the same vibe

[@trishabendsen850]

Look up Eckhart Tolle the teachings and his meditations will help you

[@D_Isness]

Lol...at times, I'm fascinated by just how much I relate to your experience in different ways but what hit me in this awesome interview was your comments re: your previous back pain. I was also an over-thinker, working in sales, always running at the maximum and I too had a recurring upper back pain/tension. After going through my awakening in 2020, it took me a few months but one day, I just noticed while meditating...my back pain and tension were completely gone and have been ever since. It's kinda scary how much stress and pain the human body can adjust to and just believe that it's normal. Sadly, even more frightening is the estimated percentage of our worldwide population that is, to this day, completely oblivious to it.

[@sf3486]

You're helping me and my brother immensely. All there is is eternal NOW Love Divinity, that which we truly are...observer...awareness....everything else is just a temporary illusion of individualistic separate form and egoic thoughts judgement fear.😂

[@Goldfootcrane]

❤hi it’s me, the woman who could not get her You Tube photo updated, well I did! I’m more calm at the end of this video than I was when I started it. I know you say we all have the ability to help others. I know I have helped others with my words at times also. Can you accept your charismatic self? It is so there. So please, as you said you hoped you would not find a cult when you got to India looking for the right Ashram, don’t change. Just keep talking.

Dear Todd, I suffered from chronic asthma years ago, and would end up in urgencies every weekend, rushed there by my partner. After we separated, I had one attack, but this time I had to get myself to urgencies. I believe that I was healed, not only by the removal of the relationship stress and anxiety, but also by having to deal with the emergency myself, alone, which removed the "cry for help" component. Happily, my ex and I are best friends now. Thank you for your amazing work, you are helping me so much. ❤🙏

New sub here back-watching. You never define spirituality. What you talk about is self-reflection of consciousness. That's still not "spirit" based. Tolle doesn't define it either. How does "stillness" transcend the physical world, as you put it? It doesn't. It may merely alter your focus. There are a lot of assertions made and then you move on to the next thing. No bueno.

[@jay6115-t6y]
