Thank you, Kathleen. So glad you found my channel. Yes, the animal kingdom rocks! And do check out the episodes on rest. Here's one lovely meditation you might also enjoy: th-cam.com/video/DcB2pY_WBAs/w-d-xo.html

@@createpeace Elizabeth, I read about the journey you stated from 2018 and your loss and I haven't gone through that yet but many near misses since 2021- back-and-forth between the ICUs etc. I think that I found this for a reason because I can't imagine my life without my mom (who really understands me more than anyone on this planet and has always been my really only true support system). I might be able to be here without her, but I don't want to. Her recent tests, Feb stroke and then April bypass surgery has taken its toll and I'm trying to come to the acceptance that she will probably pass before me 😥 I would not know how to live without her and since really the past decade, it has been a struggle with her illnesses and disease processes. I'm not afraid to die, I never have been. A few years back, I actually found joy and peace for about a year and then I lost it again. I'm saying all this to try to explain number one, where I am at, and maybe it will help others as well, knowing that there are other people out there that can help us with this particular circumstance. I have helped so many through the years, especially the last 30 years, but helping myself seems to be the most difficult. I always say when she goes there's no other reason to be here or she's the only reason I am still here. I'm not suicidal because I've seen the results of that being an RN of 30 years and also working mental health, etc. and for other reasons! But I feel like it would be miserable to be here without her, so I'm hoping that I was guided here for a reason- then when I read your story that was a confirmation!!! 🤗 I probably have never had true rest due to child and teenager abuse, etc. - and all the things that go with that. but now I'm 63. I feel like it's a time for healing. I'm not new to being healed or healing others, but this particular situation and what's coming is very difficult for me. I will watch what you sent above and will look more into your program if you feel after reading this, that's the program that would benefit me the most OR if you had another program that would benefit me more. Thank you, Elizabeth! 🤗💕🙏

​@@RxHolisticNurseKathleen Navigating meditation and rest with trauma can indeed be challenging. The brain often wants to be busy to avoid looping into the places and spaces where seeds of trauma may be. So, it's understandable if true rest feels elusive. However, there are numerous pathways to rest, to sinking into peaceful, loving spaces - spaces that you and your mom both share, and in the future when you may share these spaces from different dimensions.

How completely delightful to read your comment, thank you! The song is made up by me and I'm the singer of it. Tunes and words have always come to me, and they bring such joy and peace.

@@createpeace 🙏

Yes, a ton in a short time. Love this cat!

She is! Thank you for noticing. Her eyes have been the same for years.

@@createpeace I love her and so happy she has been safe for the years you have been seeing her. I love all cats.

Thank you. Let me know how your decision-making changes or is enhanced when you write from the wisdom of your body!

Thank you, Debbie!

Thank you, Susan. Especially appreciated coming from you🙏

Thank you About Canadian Living, much appreciated. Keep enjoying!

Thank you, Susie. Creating is my thing! :) And I'd love to see you at my yoga class, wonderful!!!

Your comment made my day! It's thrilling to hear that my approach to journaling the past is hitting the right notes for you. It's hard when journaling stirs up the "demons," and so I hope that in the suggestions you'll find something works for you. Thank you for your support as it inspires me to keep sharing and teaching. Fun fact: This video was made because another subscriber had a question about writing about the past. Keep me posted about the journey and feel free to reach out if you ever have questions, want to know more about a specific aspect of journal writing, or just want to share your experiences. PS: If you are interested, check out the PDF material in the comments, the article on How Writing Heals and the 33 quotes.

@@createpeace Thank you for your kind response. I love your enthusiasm and natural ability to teach. I will definitely check out the PDF materials. Thanks!

Thank you, true north! Much appreciating your comment!

Thank you for watching. Was there one myth in particular that resonated with you? And stay tuned for my next video on writing about the past!

There are no dumb questions here. I believe so, and I looked it up just to be sure. There was a sad article about it. And I saw one of the babies bobcats, in my yard, catch and devour a rabbit. Didn't post that one - yet.

@@createpeace Don't post that, we all know that wild animals need to eat, but that kind of video is like TMI imv.

@@bikersoncall Thank you for your thoughts on that, much appreciated. If I ever do post it, it will be posted with a big fat warning. But so far, it's in the belly of my computer.

You are most welcome, Eric. It is always inspiring to hear from people. What in this video was most impactful or helpful to you?

@@createpeace The journaling technique itself was interesting. The entire video though, the reason for journaling the now, the explanation of what it does for the mind, body, and self. You gave examples "temperature in home, sensations feeling in your body, etc." You gave questions to begin journaling in this way. This whole video is everything one needs to pick up a new technique. I feel like you understand the who could use this technique the most. I also enjoyed hearing about someone else's piece about the present moment. It was key to me that it had no analysis, meaning seeking, nor judgment. Reconnecting to myself in the present moment and then connecting with someone else is something that I've just started doing via a group. Now, I do have a question about why you do not suggest people to journal about the past. I think it's because doing so keeps us in the past, keeps us from realizing the present is (probably, hopefully) safer (if it is safer). But what is your take?

@@ericlewis6404 Thank you, Eric, for your insightful feedback, for sharing what you found valuable in this video. Understanding what resonates with viewers helps me create impactful content. Regarding writing about the past, while it can be essential for self-reflection and self-knowledge, I prefer not to start with problems. Maybe I could have better delineated the difference between writing about one’s past and writing about one’s problems. I believe in letting individuals choose their own narrative. It's important to approach the past in a way that honors it without re-traumatizing oneself. I've encountered cases where mental health professionals wanted to impose writing topics on their clients, but I believe in a more supportive and empowering approach. There is a way to write about the past that honors our roots. There is a way of writing in which the past becomes groundwork for our future. There is a way to write and tell our stories that uplifts and serves one’s own peaceful heart and creative aspirations. There is a way to write so that we touch into the web of life and connect to all our relations. This is the understanding I hope to inspire. Not to write about the past just to dredge up the past or supposedly “heal” unhealed areas, but to unearth in a loving way the gems that are in our stories of old. Your question is inspiring in me the idea of creating a video dedicated to this important topic. Thank you, again.

@@createpeace I’ve been thinking about your reply and meaning to respond. I actually did a journaling that was amazing. I have this core belief that I don’t deserve (good) things. I did a journal entry that encouraged me to list out all of the good things that are currently in my life **which I never question whether I deserve or if I’m good enough for** My list was random, anything went on, no judgments! Sweet red bell peppers, being warm, TV shows, etc etc. I easily made 3 pages of good things. I realized that when it comes to the things that are very impactful on the quality of my life, that thinking comes up. It’s what I felt growing up but I finally saw that it was an illusion. “I deserve” a career that’ll take care of my family as much as “I deserve” to eat sweet red bell peppers. Wondering whether I am good enough or not is the illusion, is the lie. Apologies, I went on a tangent. I’ll comment again.

@@createpeace I am very curious to know more about ways to write that honors our past. I do not like toxic positivity for it feels as though it is dismissing my lived experiences and inner child. I believe honoring my experiences and inner child would do me Justice. I would love to find out more about journal prompts that honors our roots, to write in a way that allows the past to be the groundwork for the future. I found that I went through 4 journals previously - by writing the chaos out in my head. It was not uplifting, peaceful, or inspiring. I feel as though, you are sitting on a treasure chest. I am so grateful for coming across your TH-cam channel but more importantly, I am grateful that you are sharing this life changing knowledge. Thank you @createpeace. Please keep it up! ❤️

Oh, Raina, you are most welcome!🙏

Thank you, Majah.

Yes, list-making is an often forgotten and overlooked tool as a way to creatively journal - and there are many ways to even make a list!

Thank you, Anne!

Yes, so beautiful.

Да, рысь, конечно, так и сделала :)

Thank you. Indeed, they are beautiful to observe and watch! :)

🙏Beautifully said. May you have the good fortune of meeting Amma soon.🙏

I know, so cute! They stop by regularly about once or twice a year! :) I notice they stop in during the summer months. So cute, until one took down a rabbit in the yard. I caught that on video but haven't published it yet.

Always, thank you for your appreciation, Russ Johns. The next video is about ways to express one's grief. Appreciating you! :)

Thank you, Tam! :)

Yes, it is. With more unique concepts to come :)

Thanks, Debbie, smiling back your way😊!!

Yes, I was definitely a non-threat, filming from behind a window in the house, but somehow this deer could detect me! In Japan, years ago, I walked in an area where the deer would come up to you for treats.

@YourCreativeCook thats amazing how there is a difference between deer in different locations, its a definite step closer to knowing they are safe around us . I have 2 rescue rabbits & they aren't scared of me to the point were the half sized male dwarf lion maine actually used to nip me & growl , although he no longer does this as i bring there food & they l9ve banana's, they roam the yard & its there domain now . They actually keep the neighbouring cats out , being the rabbits territory, & they are surprisingly territorial

@stestar09 Wow, never heard of a rabbit growling, sounds like there's a tiger in that rabbit! And to keep the cats away, they must be territorial and ferocious. Unfortunately for my garden rabbit here, it gotten eaten by a baby bobcat. Caught that on video, wild stuff.

Thank you, Gilded Muse. Yes, when a friend came over recently to help me in the yard and the cats were napping, I said, we can't go back there. In my next bobcat video there's some tragedy for a rabbit in the yard. That will be posted with a warning because it's graphic. And thank you for the soft gentle voice compliment. Please enjoy the meditations posted.

So true, and am also thinking there are few places for people to get relief from heat in these triple digit days :)

Thank you, Susan! And yes, Vidura's rendition is beautiful and powerful. Glad you have it! :)

Yes, Jai Shree Rudram. I think the Roadrunner was fascinated by the sound as it stood at the window for a long time looking in! 🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹

Cute never occurred to me :) He stayed at the glass door window for the longest time looking in before he took off to run in the yard. Glad one came to you, too. Nature is grand!

Ha! Funny. Yes, certainly. If I were a bobcat, I'd probably do the same!

No, not at all. She's wild and I'm behind glass taking some of these videos.

Silly Question said those knifes that grow out of the paws.

@@scotth5038 You funny one, Scott! :) She is a sweet looker though. Think she returned a year or so later with her baby for a few moments in time.

Thank you, Evie, that means a lot to me!❤️

Last I saw her, she looked well and had a baby with her!

That's funny. What do you mean by underrated? I love to see them, they are wonderful beings!

@@createpeace Underrated - I mean they dont get as much love as they deserve - All 4 of the lynx family as some of my very favourite wild cats

What a sweet thought. She came back one day with her baby! Haven't seen her or them in a long time now, but they are around.

Thank you, Russ, I'm glad you found it beautiful. Rest is so important, and underrated in our society today.

@@createpeace So true and not all about sleep. Its about getting away and disconnecting from the noise around us. I'll continue to practice :)

I suppose she does look thin, but the rabbits and chipmunks are on strict order not to appear when Bobbina is in the yard! :)

Thank you for asking. A few months ago I was sitting outside on the ground, and out of the corner of my eye, something turned the corner of the house. Looked bigger than a rabbit. I got up and stood by the door and she and I looked at each other. I quietly said, "You can stay, I'll go inside," but neither one of us moved. Then she moved across the yard and over the fence. My camera broke a year ago and I have not gotten another yet, and really want to. Such beautiful animals and feline friends they are. I have an unspoken agreement with Nature. The rabbits and chipmunks and squirrels have to come at a different time from the bobcats. So far, there has been agreement on that from all the players in the yard! :)

@@createpeace Sounds like you've brokered a good deal for all concerned, well done! 🙂

@@createpeace You can't talk to them at all until they trust you, whether feral cat, dog etc, or wild critter, makes no difference. You can sometimes briefly look at them then look away as if you didn't notice. It can take months and even years for a wild animal to accept our presence.
