Dr. Gabor Maté's Response to "I Felt Guilty for Working on Myself While Others Are Suffering"
I asked Dr. Gabor Maté why I feel so guilty for working on myself when people at home are suffering. His answer surprised me and helped me understand where this guilt comes from. This happened over a year ago and lots of growth has happened since then!

5 Day vs 10 Day Silent Retreat. Tips for newcomers
มุมมอง 1023 หลายเดือนก่อน
I recently finished a 5 day meditation retreat at Spirit Rock and wanted to do a comparison on my previous 10 day meditation retreat (th-cam.com/video/iFMf1n8i8LM/w-d-xo.html). In many ways, the experiences were totally different. But my learnings from the 10 day retreat were more so solidified in this 5 day one. I hope the tips in the video benefits someone.

    Even if you may be 'right' Gabor, it's too fast a (mental) process - like watching mental ping-pong. it is words that won't reach the questionner nor help him process his guilt. It seems you are more motivated for being Mr. know-it-all than to really reach the person. Where is your heart?

    How the f did you bear grew back if you performed a laser hair "REMOVAL"..??

    • @rootedwithsami
      @rootedwithsami 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Not sure if you’ve tried laser hair removal or not, but it’s more about reduction than permanent removal. It definitely did a great job of reducing the hair overall, especially in those first few years. Over time (this was over 10 years ago), some hair grew back, but my beard is still patchy, especially under my chin. So while laser is super effective, it’s not always a one and done deal (even after 6 treatments). Hope that clears it up.

    why did you initially want to get rid of your beard?

    • @rootedwithsami
      @rootedwithsami 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      My father has transformed significantly, and I'm proud of the person he's become. I don't want to speak ill of him, but the truth is, his past actions caused deep pain for my family. The physical abuse we endured left lasting wounds. As I got older, I desperately wanted to distance myself from that part of my life. When I started growing a beard, it triggered something deep and I found disgust in myself. I associated the beard with shame and the hurt. He carried a beautiful long beard that seemed to mask wounds. I'm sharing this so that it can help someone who has gone through a similar circumstance.

    Question: How did your beard hair grow back after the lasers?

    • @rootedwithsami
      @rootedwithsami 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, but it's not always 100% permanent. Multiple sessions, sometimes spaced out over time, are often needed for the best results. I still have patches in my beard and under my chin that's harder to see. Also the density of the beard significantly decreased.

      Is it really permanent? I heard first is is needed to do some treatments and beard stops growing, but next you need one supporting treatment once a year to be smooth-faced. But if you stop treatments, is beard patchy or it after some times become even?

    I have been in this Country for 25 years. I have to tell I never hid my identity as a Muslim. I may have been discriminated, maybe three times openly, and maybe five times covertly. So I can tell you there is really no practical racism in the USA. I and my family have never seen it. I have had interactions with thousand upon thousands of people over the years, and never experienced it.

    • @umar_n3
      @umar_n3 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      yeah, even i started to grow my beard out because it is obligatory for muslims and most interactions i have are just normal, sometimes you get looks from people and maybe sometimes you feel like you get treated differently but with these hardships Allah will reward you even more for following the rules of Islam, don't try to hide who you are or be affected by what others seemigly think.

    • @rootedwithsami
      @rootedwithsami 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for sharing your experience. It's heartening to hear you haven't faced overt discrimination as a Muslim in the US. To clarify, this video is not related to Islamophobia. An image was mistakenly used that might have alluded to it, but I was on a 10 day retreat when the video was posted and wasn't aware of the final edit. That image has since been removed as it detracted from the message I'm trying to convey. The shame surrounding my beard, which led me to remove it, stems from a much deeper, personal place, unrelated to my faith. While I may share more details in the future at a time where I feel ready, this video focuses on overcoming internalized shame at a higher level, regardless of its origins.
