Favorite quote in this video: "It's so important to stick to the practices and rituals that make us feel good even when we don't need them because it's not about relying on them but it's about setting ourselves up to feel good everyday"
Tears caused by emotion contain up to 50% of the stress hormone, so its really important and benefitial to cry it out! You will instantly feel better because the hormone is literally out of your brain!
I dont think this has anything to do with reality. Overall the 50% number should tip people off that this is bullshit. Cortisol levels are few micrograms (5-20) per dl in your blood, one tear weights 50000 micrograms. You have 55dl of blood, so around 1000micrograms of cortisol. So at 50% cortisol, single tear could have 25x the amount of cortisol than your entire system.

I'm not even 5 minutes in, but I have never heard anyone speak so eloquently about mental health and suicidal thoughts. You've pretty much said everything my mind could not put together. I am so grateful to hear you speak about mental health, it gives me so much inspiration and makes me more proud of my past, and the fact that I'm still here, appreciating that part of me that was strong and brave enough to ask for help. Hearing you speak so confidently about it is so heartwarming, and something I've grown to embrace since watching your channel. Thank you, for taking your time and filming these videos, they help more than you know. I feel your light as you speak, and in return I'd like to send you so much love and warmth. You are so so so appreciated Hitomi.
I don’t know if this is weird. But every time I watch one of your videos, I write down a quote from you. Something you said from your own brain or something you are quoting yourself. Right now on my bathroom mirror I have hanging “beauty is just another energy to tap into”. I don’t think you realize how much power you have. You are aware that you are just sharing your own thoughts and experiences. But they help so many people. Every time I read that in my bathroom it reminds me that I am beautiful inside and out no matter what I look like. As long as I believe I am beautiful inside and out. You have no idea how much that helped me. After having my daughter through a c section I thought I would never feel beautiful again. Even watching you was hard because I think you’re one of the brightest goddesses I’ve ever seen! And I haven’t even met you. But your videos have honestly changed my life. I wish you got paid for them but I just wanted to say thank you and 🙏🏼🕉
this may sound really weird but you’ve come up on my feed quite a few times in the past and i’ve always resisted watching your videos. i had no idea why. i had no negative connotations or thoughts about you but for some reason i couldn’t bring myself to watch your videos. and one day i just clicked on a video by accident and i honestly cried the whole time. it was like i was having an honest conversation with myself about so many dark emotions that were being held inside by my ego. and crying allowed me to just let them out. i felt as though i was guided to watch your videos, as if you (unintentionally) were my spirit guides talking to me telling me that’s it’s gonna to be okay if you stop resisting and listen to us. and for that i just wanted to say thank you!
Whenever I “wish life away”, it is a wake up call to start living. I have been having these thoughts lately and imagining the how feeling like there is no other way out. Now I’m realizing there was a way out and it was going through it. I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you Hitomi. There will be more “dark tunnels” to go through, but at the other end life seems to be more tender, loving, and vibrant than ever.
Been meditating (several times a day actually) + daily morning yoga and Journaling and wow. What a difference. Finally committed to myself and my self-love and you articulated this all so well. Reading the benefits of articles VS hearing someone else's experience is so different. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Hitomi, I have followed your journey for years and let me just tell you how inspiring and full of light you are! I have struggled with debilitating depression and anxiety for a long time as well, and watching you transform yourself and your state of mind is amazing. Thank you SO MUCH LOVE 💕
I couldn't help but cry when you expressed how you felt about the trees, I had a similar experience and wondered if anyone else felt the same. You are such a beautiful person. I was having a rough couple of weeks and your words really spoke to me. I feel your light and love! Thank you! xoxox
i needed this rn especially about the breaking off a good relationship for ur own growth and working on feeling worthy of love, brought tears to my eyes im so happy im not alone in this situation & that all human experience is collective like that, so much love hitomi ❤️❤️
your videos give me so much peace hitomi.. you always help me reconnect to nature, within and without. you speak your truth from experience and it's so beautiful to watch, it makes me emotional to know a person like you (even through the internet, it feels pretty amazing!) thank you for always being light and love in my life*
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I feel like I’ve grown so much alongside with you! I remember all of the vulnerable videos you’d make and finding so much solace in them. It honestly feels like we’re friends in my head, because of the parallels in our lives with darkness to healing.
Thank you Hitomi, these talks always feel so cathartic to me. They mean so much to me and so many others. It's great to hear that you are so content, that you're navigating your life hurdles and tuning into your needs and wants. That is MAGIC..thank you for sharing
It would be amazing if you could do those kind of videos more often. It feels like I can connect with you so much & it feels amazing to see someone else experiencing the human experience in a similar way! Thank you for being yourself and sharing your life experience Hitomi.
Thank you Hitomi. I feel like you really have so much important information to share with us. Visualising the best possible outcome can be extremely powerful. For all those who can’t access that feeling of happiness right away: don’t give up. Keep on putting in the work, and try to visualise everything in great detail. What were you feeling, smelling, hearing, tasting in a moment you felt true happiness in the past? What were the details of the surrounding? Your brain will find access to those feelings, and it is possible to strengthen those pathways in the brain 🧠✨
I can see that you are so happy Hitomi! Your smile and the curls in your hair exude the love and craziness of life perfectly! Perfectly Imperfect! Exactly how God created us!
You look like a beautiful fairy in this video Hitomi. Thank you for always being so open and honest with us. This is just one of the reasons why you’re my favorite TH-camr.
people would “think you are on drugs” because often people require psychedelics to reach a state of appreciation and oneness with the earth. ps. this video is what i needed right now. because this is the step that i need to take in my life. i need to connect with my energies and find love for myself because i deserve it damn it i don’t exist to simply exist in depression hitomi you are so inspiring and such a light
starting my yoga teacher training in a few days and you are one of the reasons why i finally made this decision. thank you for always sharing your journey, it has helped and inspired many of us. sending so so much love x
i started to get tired watching this about 25 mins in (it’s 2am so duh) but i had this pulling inside of me to keep watching & if i shut it off, i would regret it. i’m glad i listened bc at the end like minute 31 or 32 when your saying goodbye, i felt like you were staring in my eyes & speaking to me. it made me emotional. i think i needed the hear that other ppl don’t feel worthy of being loved, bc it feels so lonely in that thought sometimes when you see all these couples on social media or in real life. it validated my feelings that i can get better and you can get better and we’re all just trying to find happier, more loving versions of ourselves. and the answers to all of the questions i seek, are inside of me already. i just need to tune in, find them, and implement them in my life. thank you hitomi for being a light in my world.
I cried a lot during this video because I feel loved and less alone, and the way you were talking about mental health was so sincere, it filled my heart with love and light 💕💕 I'm sending you lots of hug 💕
Wow girl. I have related with you on so many levels for so long. And I’m so happy that you are doing so well and are thriving and working with yourself on yourself. I’m proud of you.
Hi I am reflecting on what you are saying and basically is that life takes us on all these different paths and we must take the light and love with us on the journey. I haven't been breathing (inhale, hold, exhale, also there was a muscle contraction, hold, and release slowly) or exercising in a long time, I am caught up with other activities of life. I don't leave time for it. Lately I have been missing meals, which I have never done before, but today I made sure to switch my schedule around to make sure I ate. I want you to know I love you sis. All the best.
In the last few years, I've learned so much from watching your videos. I have been struggling with my mental health but you inspire me to use new coping mechanisms and to sometimes just stop and look around, see your own life from a different perspective. Now I moved to a sunny, big home with my boyfriend and plants, I planted seeds, put them in a sunny window and smile everyday I see them grow in the autumn sun. You inspired me to smile and do yoga (actually, I just move however I feel like on that day and that makes me happy). I really appreciate you. By the way, about the trees: when I went to high school, everyday I saw the same tree and I swear everyday I said 'hi' to the tree and smiled at it and it actually felt like it helped me through that time. I still sometimes say hi to it haha
I totally feel you Hitomi about your partner! I experienced the same thing earlier this year. It's tough but you know that you're doing it for yourself. ❤️🙏
I just started therapy for the first time a few days ago and im so proud of myself for finally being brave enough to even make an appointment. I was never sure if my problems, feelings an thoughts were valid and real because people around me would suggest otherwise. It was very hard for me to accept the fact that i can't solve my own problems only by myself and that i needed help. And since i can't rely on people in my life to help me i had to make the move if i really wanted to improve my quality of life. So the timing of this video is kind of perfect. Im inspired by the way you understand your emotions and how openly and confidently you speak about everything and also your growth. I hope i can soon get to that point. Thank you :)
You bring me so much peace my dear. I really hope to be more radiant and intuitive like you. Thank you for these beautiful, vulnerable videos! You are truly a gift 💕
we're in a very similar phase of life right now. I feel like the cocoon is breaking away and I'm shedding layers. so much of what you're saying is mirroring my experience, the relationship ending on good terms, the therapist, feelings about ourselves & questioning why we're scared of our darker feelings as well. thank you so much for sharing so honestly!! it's so so oddly reassuring to know we're on the same path & that we'll both be more than okay. we've got this! X
I have watched a couple of your videos and you already changed my mind and worldview. I am truly ammazed by this effect. I feel myself more happy and matured, i learned about myself a lot things. You speak so openely about topics which are only in my mind and i have never talked about with anyone, you read my mind. You inspire me, i cant live a day without yoga and meditation, i care for my health and body, i feel happiness even in the existence itself. I feel myself like a wanderer at the begginig of the intricate route.
I want you to know that the stunning light you leave behind in everything you choose to share is beyond transformative and honestly immortal ,because we will take that light with us wherever we end up going. thank you so so much for choosing to share these little pieces of your being here because it has changed me in ways that are deeper than I can say💗💗💗✨May love guide you wherever you want to go everyday.
You are so worthy of love Hitomi. I’m so happy that you’ve found this peace. I always say this but you have such a way with words it is so inspirational. I’ve been struggling a lot lately but your vulnerability and honesty is so appreciated. The unconditional love you have for everything 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I love you!!!! ♥️
I love that you are so confident speaking from your heart, speaking your mind and speaking your truth. It's fearless, in that you know that there is nothing to fear in sharing. Thank you, because it encourages me to do the same. It's so important to see this exemplified especially if you have grown up being de-validated for being authentic. ❤️💛💚💙💜🖤
This is my favorite video you’ve ever made. As someone who has spent a lot of life in a space of depressive energy and is now thriving I deeply resonate with you and your journey. Thank you for your honesty and choice not to hold back your innermost perspectives. I’m currently pushing myself to always do the same, no matter how it may be received. Thank you for existing Hitomi! Your light is so bright
thank you for your story hitomi! truly truly inspiring! i feel like this year has been such a transitional year for me, i'm slowly learning how to be "myself" again as i am continuing to grow into my skin.
Healing looks so good on you Queen. Thank you for having the courage to share you dark moments and your high ones. You didn't avoid the details, that is a huge part of the healing process. Owning the situation and dropping the image that everything is okay is a huge step and so is breathwork! Keep sharing. You're healing so many people with your truth.
I'm so obsessed with your videos now 😍 discovered you 3 days ago and wow! You make me accept myself more, my mental health and not caring much about what other people think. 💕
First of all, LOVE your hair girly💗 but SAME I always get so anxious and scared when winter comes 😭 I love the winter clothing but the weather makes me sad because of no sunshine and less social interaction
I was feeling so stuck and like I feel like I was suppressing a lot. And hearing you talk about honesty and internal world was so healing and releasing old belief systems. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful knowledge❤️
Haven’t watched your videos in a while, but stumbled on this today. I felt so comforted when you were talking about waking up in this neutral, potential space - and going from that place into your day. I woke up this morning, have for the last couple mornings, with this weird desolated, lonely, empty space. I’m not sure why, but this morning I interrogated it more. I realized what my dream was, why it was making me feel this void, what needed to happen to wake myself from that space and into a more fertile one. I did that this morning and for the first time in a while, I’ve felt very in my body and very capable. Then I see this and it just affirms the feeling so much. I used to watch your videos on repeat when I moved to NYC when I was very alone and it felt like you were my friend. I’m in a different, more abundant space in my life with lots of lovely folks in my life, but I am trying to find my practices again. Touching base again with myself. You’ve always helped me do that. Thank you, Hitomi. Happy Scorpio Season - Fellow Scorpio 💖
I also really appreciate you mentioning your split, I recently had my heart broken by someone and as silly as it sounds I feel slightly less alone now in this experience
I find you to be a very valuable free resource for healing my soul. Thankful for ever finding your TH-cam channel because of the quality of your content. Thank you for sharing your reflections on your personal growth-it’s super insightful and helpful to feed this energy to my subconscious. Literally just this simple suggestion of tapping into my breath when I feel anxious is so important for me to hear. I have been dealing with this anxiety a long time now, but barely beginning to acknowledge that I need to approach this part of me with a lot of love. Thanks Hitomi ❤️🙏🏽
Hitomi, I have just recently found your channel and I am so glad that I did. I have had an interest in spirituality and healing practices for a while, but have found that many well-intentioned people seem to brush aside the realities of mental illness and trauma when preaching about yoga and meditation. I love how you are honest about how even though your spiritual journey has drastically shifted your mindset, therapy has still been an integral part of your healing process. For those of us who have really struggled with depression and self-destructive behavior, you are such a radiant light of hope.
I thought I gotten past my suicidal thoughts & actions but last night I tried to overdose. This time I'm gonna get help & tell someone I trust. I need to really heal now.
I can't believe you are almost 10 years younger than me! You're so spiritually in touch. I love your content and your gentle spirit. I'll be sending you light and love during this transitional time
Thanks for being so open! I've been going through a lot of the same stuff all my life! I can't seem to shake the current manic depressive state I'm in right now and my resources are depleted. Probably to Lost to ever be found again.
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now, and I’m so grateful for your existence. You’ve helped change my mindset to be more positive. So much gratitude for you. Keep going on this journey we’re all with you !!
it’s crazy how I paused right about at 20:00 for my lunch break and I meditated, did alternate nostril breathing and chanted om. when I got back to the video it was exactly what she talked about. you are a big inspiration to many Hitomi 🤍
Hitomi, I swear you have a way with words that's just magical, kinda mesmerizing. I've been watching you for a long time now and just wanted to say, thank you for everything ❤
thank you so much hitomi, you are a wonderful beam of light and i needed this; i can relate to the relationship part right now and it's so helpful to see how you are moving through this phase positively and giving your time to help us too
I am new to your channel and will for sure be a regular viewer from now on. This video really resonated with me. I feel like it was exactly when I needed in this moment and I just feel so thankful for your vulnerability and transparency.
I totally know what you mean with your realisation and connection with the trees!! Never heard anybody put how I feel into words it’s such an overwhelming feeling of love I’m so grateful for it and so happy that you experience the same it’s amazing ah!! Sending you love this video is so lovely ❤️
I’m so so glad I found this video, I resonate so deeply with everything you said, so many of the situations, feelings, just everything. You have such a beautiful perspective and way of speaking about all of these things, thank you for being so open and sharing so much
Thank you for being you, & for being so authentic. Honesty is my favorite too! Truth really will set us all free--& the more of us who step into this in all areas of our lives, the more we elevate the collective, so thank you! & let me just say, i relate so much to leaving a partner because it *feels* true, even when it is difficult. I see light & love for you. & omg I used to be afraid of the winter too. lol east coast cold is no joke, but these days ive learned to see it for what it is beyond my projections.
hitomi, for someone who absolutely agrees with you on every aspect of EVERYTHING you and i believe in.. you say that having these few months of darkness and cold but for most of the women that follow you, we live in the midwest. in WISCONSIN, MN, IA, etc, we experience the cold (and let me tell you... its cold to the point it is 10 degrees to -0 degreess from JAN TO EARLY MAY. you are so blessed to live and experience what you do. your "cold" phase is nothing
acting like you're so sad over these COLD TEMPS is absolute bullshit hitomi.... so many of your folloowers are from MN AND WI who deal with 10 to -20 degrees from NOVEMBER -- MAY
I am going to therapy again too as trauma has resurfaced and how out of touch I feel with my spirituality as of late. Thank you again Hitome for your words. Also, my momma danced flamenco as well!
You inspire me. Thank you for all you are. I can relate a lot to the feelings of doubt and unworthiness and learning to move through these feelings into love and talk to myself in a loving way. I want to be a therapist myself so it also inspires me to hear you talk about your own journey and one day also help others to learn self-compassion as you are doing over youtube
Thank you so much for opening up to us and shedding light on mental health and your personal experiences. Your videos have helped me for the past three years and navigate through my mental health journey. You always seem to brighten my day and make me more aware of my reality and stop denying the truth. Thank you for speaking your truth because it inspires me to speak mine. Love you to the moon and back ♡
I loove when you do this videos. I’m sure they help a lot of people, including myself. It makes me so happy to hear you so awaken at this point in your life. ☀️
Thinking about showing my therapist this video and being like “this is my end goal with mental health”. I just want to feel so much love and light as you do and be able to check in with myself while I am feeling the ways I do often.
Wow, I’ve watched this whole video.. I’m relating to a lot of what’s being talked about in terms of the transitions in life and you’ve helped a lot in positive coping and positive ways of talking to ourselves. Thank you Hitomi
I paused the video and started to talking to myself about how I've been feeling lately and my battles with life ending thoughts I am now bawling my eyes out.
11:22 I have never resonated with something more! this is a truth about myself that I'm still trying to understand. what's the reason I feel insecure in myself when I'm in a relationship? thank you for sharing this video hitomi! I'm on a binge of your videos during this quarantine and you bring me such inspiration!!

This was beautiful!
What you said about the trees is so true, never thought about it like that. Loneliness is all in my mind, there is life all around me.
You are such a shining light in this world 💫

21:55 I love how she is so able to cultivate psychedelic experiences through her awareness
智 (hito) meaning "wisdom, intellect" and 美 (mi) meaning "beautiful". Together, "Hitomi". Such a meaningful name most fitting to your character!
Hitomi: why am i only meditating when im sad i dont should be doing this when im happy too - life changing

Now I moved to a sunny, big home with my boyfriend and plants, I planted seeds, put them in a sunny window and smile everyday I see them grow in the autumn sun. You inspired me to smile and do yoga (actually, I just move however I feel like on that day and that makes me happy). I really appreciate you.
By the way, about the trees: when I went to high school, everyday I saw the same tree and I swear everyday I said 'hi' to the tree and smiled at it and it actually felt like it helped me through that time. I still sometimes say hi to it haha
I totally feel you Hitomi about your partner! I experienced the same thing earlier this year. It's tough but you know that you're doing it for yourself. ❤️🙏
What a pure clear spirit you are. It is so calming just to watch you.
I just started therapy for the first time a few days ago and im so proud of myself for finally being brave enough to even make an appointment. I was never sure if my problems, feelings an thoughts were valid and real because people around me would suggest otherwise. It was very hard for me to accept the fact that i can't solve my own problems only by myself and that i needed help. And since i can't rely on people in my life to help me i had to make the move if i really wanted to improve my quality of life. So the timing of this video is kind of perfect. Im inspired by the way you understand your emotions and how openly and confidently you speak about everything and also your growth. I hope i can soon get to that point. Thank you :)
Reminder to you all: You are a beautiful being walking on this beautiful planet, take care💕
And this video kind of made me understand my own depression and my own thoughts in a way
Thank you so much for being you wholeheartedly and shedding your light and everything 💗
You bring me so much peace my dear. I really hope to be more radiant and intuitive like you. Thank you for these beautiful, vulnerable videos! You are truly a gift 💕
Something I appreciate so much about you is that you practice everything you preach.
we're in a very similar phase of life right now. I feel like the cocoon is breaking away and I'm shedding layers. so much of what you're saying is mirroring my experience, the relationship ending on good terms, the therapist, feelings about ourselves & questioning why we're scared of our darker feelings as well. thank you so much for sharing so honestly!! it's so so oddly reassuring to know we're on the same path & that we'll both be more than okay. we've got this! X
I have watched a couple of your videos and you already changed my mind and worldview. I am truly ammazed by this effect. I feel myself more happy and matured, i learned about myself a lot things. You speak so openely about topics which are only in my mind and i have never talked about with anyone, you read my mind. You inspire me, i cant live a day without yoga and meditation, i care for my health and body, i feel happiness even in the existence itself. I feel myself like a wanderer at the begginig of the intricate route.
I want you to know that the stunning light you leave behind in everything you choose to share is beyond transformative and honestly immortal ,because we will take that light with us wherever we end up going. thank you so so much for choosing to share these little pieces of your being here because it has changed me in ways that are deeper than I can say💗💗💗✨May love guide you wherever you want to go everyday.
You are so worthy of love Hitomi. I’m so happy that you’ve found this peace. I always say this but you have such a way with words it is so inspirational. I’ve been struggling a lot lately but your vulnerability and honesty is so appreciated. The unconditional love you have for everything 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I love you!!!! ♥️
I love that you are so confident speaking from your heart, speaking your mind and speaking your truth. It's fearless, in that you know that there is nothing to fear in sharing. Thank you, because it encourages me to do the same. It's so important to see this exemplified especially if you have grown up being de-validated for being authentic. ❤️💛💚💙💜🖤
the trees part made my jaw drop because i've felt the same way and never heard someone explain it in such a similar way to how i experience it!
This is my favorite video you’ve ever made. As someone who has spent a lot of life in a space of depressive energy and is now thriving I deeply resonate with you and your journey. Thank you for your honesty and choice not to hold back your innermost perspectives. I’m currently pushing myself to always do the same, no matter how it may be received. Thank you for existing Hitomi! Your light is so bright
I was JUST thinking about you Hitomi! I was like when is she going to come out with a new video! And then here you go! Manifested
Micala King me too 🙌🏻
this video was something else honestly thank you for making such a personal video!!! We all hope you're doing well xx
thank you for your story hitomi! truly truly inspiring! i feel like this year has been such a transitional year for me, i'm slowly learning how to be "myself" again as i am continuing to grow into my skin.
hitomi you have changed my life in so many ways. i’ve never been more grateful for a person that i haven’t met before.
Healing looks so good on you Queen. Thank you for having the courage to share you dark moments and your high ones. You didn't avoid the details, that is a huge part of the healing process. Owning the situation and dropping the image that everything is okay is a huge step and so is breathwork! Keep sharing. You're healing so many people with your truth.
I'm so obsessed with your videos now 😍 discovered you 3 days ago and wow! You make me accept myself more, my mental health and not caring much about what other people think. 💕
Such an inspiring outlook, perspective and soul
First of all, LOVE your hair girly💗
but SAME I always get so anxious and scared when winter comes 😭 I love the winter clothing but the weather makes me sad because of no sunshine and less social interaction
I was feeling so stuck and like I feel like I was suppressing a lot. And hearing you talk about honesty and internal world was so healing and releasing old belief systems. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful knowledge❤️
Haven’t watched your videos in a while, but stumbled on this today. I felt so comforted when you were talking about waking up in this neutral, potential space - and going from that place into your day. I woke up this morning, have for the last couple mornings, with this weird desolated, lonely, empty space. I’m not sure why, but this morning I interrogated it more. I realized what my dream was, why it was making me feel this void, what needed to happen to wake myself from that space and into a more fertile one. I did that this morning and for the first time in a while, I’ve felt very in my body and very capable. Then I see this and it just affirms the feeling so much. I used to watch your videos on repeat when I moved to NYC when I was very alone and it felt like you were my friend. I’m in a different, more abundant space in my life with lots of lovely folks in my life, but I am trying to find my practices again. Touching base again with myself. You’ve always helped me do that. Thank you, Hitomi. Happy Scorpio Season - Fellow Scorpio 💖
Today I was experiencing a lot of life ending thoughts, the timing of this video is perfect. thank you Hitomi 💗
I also really appreciate you mentioning your split, I recently had my heart broken by someone and as silly as it sounds I feel slightly less alone now in this experience
I find you to be a very valuable free resource for healing my soul. Thankful for ever finding your TH-cam channel because of the quality of your content. Thank you for sharing your reflections on your personal growth-it’s super insightful and helpful to feed this energy to my subconscious. Literally just this simple suggestion of tapping into my breath when I feel anxious is so important for me to hear. I have been dealing with this anxiety a long time now, but barely beginning to acknowledge that I need to approach this part of me with a lot of love. Thanks Hitomi ❤️🙏🏽
Ive been binge watching your videos for a couple days. This is my favorite one i think. Definitely will keep rewatching. Such a blessing.
Hitomi, I have just recently found your channel and I am so glad that I did. I have had an interest in spirituality and healing practices for a while, but have found that many well-intentioned people seem to brush aside the realities of mental illness and trauma when preaching about yoga and meditation. I love how you are honest about how even though your spiritual journey has drastically shifted your mindset, therapy has still been an integral part of your healing process. For those of us who have really struggled with depression and self-destructive behavior, you are such a radiant light of hope.
I started crying about 3 minutes in
Haha
😭🥰♥️
So grateful for you hitomi.
I thought I gotten past my suicidal thoughts & actions but last night I tried to overdose. This time I'm gonna get help & tell someone I trust. I need to really heal now.
I can't believe you are almost 10 years younger than me! You're so spiritually in touch. I love your content and your gentle spirit. I'll be sending you light and love during this transitional time
Also I LOVE your necklaces! Where did you get them??
Thanks for being so open! I've been going through a lot of the same stuff all my life! I can't seem to shake the current manic depressive state I'm in right now and my resources are depleted. Probably to Lost to ever be found again.
Thank you for sharing that yogis can accept help from therapists. You can’t do everything alone
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now, and I’m so grateful for your existence. You’ve helped change my mindset to be more positive. So much gratitude for you. Keep going on this journey we’re all with you !!
everything that make you happy, you deserve even tho don't feel like you do. i love you so much no matter what
it’s crazy how I paused right about at 20:00 for my lunch break and I meditated, did alternate nostril breathing and chanted om. when I got back to the video it was exactly what she talked about. you are a big inspiration to many Hitomi 🤍
You really look like you are glowing from within. It's as if your light Is reaching me trough the screen, i feel so loved ❤️
Hitomi, I swear you have a way with words that's just magical, kinda mesmerizing. I've been watching you for a long time now and just wanted to say, thank you for everything ❤
thank you so much hitomi, you are a wonderful beam of light and i needed this; i can relate to the relationship part right now and it's so helpful to see how you are moving through this phase positively and giving your time to help us too
Love you so much Hitomi, you’ve been such an inspiration my whole life and you should never change
you are an angel and listening to your video is making me feel more wise and open to acknowledging my own energy. thank you for your words
I am new to your channel and will for sure be a regular viewer from now on. This video really resonated with me. I feel like it was exactly when I needed in this moment and I just feel so thankful for your vulnerability and transparency.
Wow the stuff you said about relationships and how you view yourself while in one is so me! Thank you for sharing that.
We love you and we need you girl!
Also stay from anti-depressants. Something I’ve noticed is that whenever I’m taking them I become very disconnected to myself and my body
I totally know what you mean with your realisation and connection with the trees!! Never heard anybody put how I feel into words it’s such an overwhelming feeling of love I’m so grateful for it and so happy that you experience the same it’s amazing ah!! Sending you love this video is so lovely ❤️
I’m so so glad I found this video, I resonate so deeply with everything you said, so many of the situations, feelings, just everything. You have such a beautiful perspective and way of speaking about all of these things, thank you for being so open and sharing so much
Thank you for being you, & for being so authentic. Honesty is my favorite too! Truth really will set us all free--& the more of us who step into this in all areas of our lives, the more we elevate the collective, so thank you! & let me just say, i relate so much to leaving a partner because it *feels* true, even when it is difficult. I see light & love for you. & omg I used to be afraid of the winter too. lol east coast cold is no joke, but these days ive learned to see it for what it is beyond my projections.
hitomi, for someone who absolutely agrees with you on every aspect of EVERYTHING you and i believe in.. you say that having these few months of darkness and cold but for most of the women that follow you, we live in the midwest. in WISCONSIN, MN, IA, etc, we experience the cold (and let me tell you... its cold to the point it is 10 degrees to -0 degreess from JAN TO EARLY MAY. you are so blessed to live and experience what you do. your "cold" phase is nothing
but we still undertand what you are going through. i just wish you could understand wisconsins point of view
acting like you're so sad over these COLD TEMPS is absolute bullshit hitomi.... so many of your folloowers are from MN AND WI who deal with 10 to -20 degrees from NOVEMBER -- MAY
i miss your little rambles sometimes! thank you always always xxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxo with my whole heart
I am going to therapy again too as trauma has resurfaced and how out of touch I feel with my spirituality as of late. Thank you again Hitome for your words. Also, my momma danced flamenco as well!
You inspire me. Thank you for all you are. I can relate a lot to the feelings of doubt and unworthiness and learning to move through these feelings into love and talk to myself in a loving way. I want to be a therapist myself so it also inspires me to hear you talk about your own journey and one day also help others to learn self-compassion as you are doing over youtube
Thank you so much for opening up to us and shedding light on mental health and your personal experiences. Your videos have helped me for the past three years and navigate through my mental health journey. You always seem to brighten my day and make me more aware of my reality and stop denying the truth. Thank you for speaking your truth because it inspires me to speak mine. Love you to the moon and back ♡
I loove when you do this videos. I’m sure they help a lot of people, including myself.
It makes me so happy to hear you so awaken at this point in your life. ☀️
Thinking about showing my therapist this video and being like “this is my end goal with mental health”. I just want to feel so much love and light as you do and be able to check in with myself while I am feeling the ways I do often.
This felt like such a warm hug.
Wow, I’ve watched this whole video.. I’m relating to a lot of what’s being talked about in terms of the transitions in life and you’ve helped a lot in positive coping and positive ways of talking to ourselves. Thank you Hitomi
So beautiful and helpful Hitomi!!!! Thank you for sharing your self!!!! ❤️
I paused the video and started to talking to myself about how I've been feeling lately and my battles with life ending thoughts I am now bawling my eyes out.
YOU’RE SO BEAUTIFUL!
11:22 I have never resonated with something more! this is a truth about myself that I'm still trying to understand. what's the reason I feel insecure in myself when I'm in a relationship? thank you for sharing this video hitomi! I'm on a binge of your videos during this quarantine and you bring me such inspiration!!
If we just connect to our own divinity, we value life.
You are indeed blessing people Hitomi. Thank you for blessing me.
