शैडोइंग अभ्यास: LET GO & TRUST YOURSELF - Shi Heng Yi Morning Motivation | Start Your Day Right, Listen Every Day! - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

If I could live a life, if I could live a life full of pleasure,

full of enjoyable moments, no pain,

no suffering, I would wish for eternal life for sure.

It is the greatest thing that actually can happen to you.

You are spending this life on earth and the only thing that you have is a pleasant life.

But the reality is not like that.

The reality is we have pleasant moments, we have joyful moments, we have healthy moments,

we have enriching moments, but at the same time we're also facing something where we could absolutely

live without it if we would have the choice.

The fact of losing people, the fact of being betrayed, the fact of being judged,

being insulted, being discriminated, being hurt.

Many ways, many ways that do not feel pleasant.

Isn't there a way how to find a proper perspective upon life

to understand what is it that I am embedded in in order to still try my best

and reduce the amount of unpleasant or suffering, what we refer to it.

This is the whole idea about it.

Many people haven't gotten to the point yet to really understand

that just like we train our muscles and go to the gym to achieve something,

there are also areas about us, human beings let's say, that also need to be trained.

And all of this taken together I refer to as self-mastery.

Because no matter, you might change your job one day, you might change the location where you're living, the surrounding is going to change,

the people that you're dealing with is going to change but there's always one thing that always remains the same,

which is you always carry yourself along the way.

So you can't escape yourself, you can't escape your dark side,

you can't escape your pain and your suffering and everything that in a way is triggering you also.

If I wished, I wished that I would have lived this life and I just have joyful and pleasant moments.

No regret, no sorrow, no fear, nothing of that.

The reality is, it's not like that.

The reality is that every human being at some point is facing all of this.

I used to think I would never arrive

or be at the place where I am right now without all the things that happened in the past.

Because at some point the sorrow or even the regrets,

they have been so painful in a way that I was left only with like two choices.

Number one, you learn from what went wrong.

And number two, and this is the, I do think is a very hard part,

it's the part of learning to let go by forgiving.

Forgiving two areas.

In case somebody is involved, you forgive the one that is involved, but foremost you forgive this one.

You know, so we always think about how should we forgive like other people,

which is already very hard but it's even harder to sometimes forgive yourself but

you can't you can't move into the future you cannot move on

if you still carry old baggage inside of you yeah and this is where I feel like it must be learned

It's a very, very interesting question. And why? Because this answer of

what is it that you are identifying yourself with

also gives you the answer how do I reduce the suffering of this lifetime?

That is essentially what all of this is about.

This world is filled with so much choice that it's difficult in a way to take the decision which direction to go, what is right to do,

what is not right to do.

But ultimately it's only yourself who knows the answer.

Which means learn more about yourself.

This is where it starts.

Because if you have the wrong perspective of who you are, what you are, everything else in this lifetime you base your decisions on,

it's just not going to be placed in the right direction.

You want to reach your goal?

How to reach the goal the quickest?

Be focused with your energy.

Meaning, be focused with the mind.

Don't lose the goal from the mind.

Whatever you do from the moment of waking up until the evening, whatever you do, keep the goal in the mind.

This is the quickest way of making this goal become real.

The truth is, the lifetime of what you carry right now and what I carry right now, it's limited.

And now just imagine, you would be, let's say, the director of your own movie.

Jump out of the body and watch yourself right now and you are writing your story.

How do you want to write the story?

You want to like feel uncomfortable,

feel unsafe, feel unloved, feel like just unsatisfied with the whole life, cry or anything like this?

Or how do you imagine what is a really nice way of living for you the next 50 years?

And based on that, purpose can be different.

You say, I do like the travel, I do like to invest this lifetime in this body to have the feeling at least

that I can contribute something to all the fellow brothers and sisters that are around there.

It makes me like I wake up, I like to do it, it gives me purpose.

So it is something very, very personal.

There is always the struggle between doing and being.

doing, I would ask, why are you doing? So why?

Why do you want to go into action?

Mostly, there is a goal.

The goal, why do you have that goal?

Because you're aiming at receiving something that in the moment where you have it, apparently you are lacking.

So that means this type of goal setting.

In my perspective, I would automatically refer to it already that your goal setting already comes from a space of lack.

You feel like you're lacking something.

That's why you need to do.

You feel like you're lacking something.

That's why you need to educate yourself.

Okay, so this is the one direction.

Now coming back maybe sounds again too philosophical.

Connected with the source.

There's nothing to add and there's nothing to take away from you.

So apparently when somebody has this very very high ambition of doing something,

achieving something, It is coming from the idea of wanting to nourish or create an identity.

An identity that represents something that you think you want to represent.

So this is the one area.

The doing versus the being.

There are five hindrances that could make it difficult for you to reach that goal in the mind.

There is sensory desires, ill will, dullness, restlessness and then self-doubt.

I make it super simple when it comes to the five hindrances.

Literally it's like this.

Whatever appears in our life, if I have my goal set right now, what you are not supposed to do is to witness something.

And now if you have like the number one sensual desire, sensory desire, what we tend to do is we like start to pull things towards us.

100

Okay that's number one.

101

The second thing what not to do this is what it all belongs to

102

that family of non-judgment is like

103

when ill will something appears in your life something you witness

104

you meet a person you don't want to meet you get the message you don't want to read

105

that message whatever it is

106

and you try to avoid it by doing actions in order to to push it away from you.

107

So what it ultimately means is don't do any of them because whatever you try to hold onto,

108

the nature of thing is that this is happening.

109

Swinging away.

110

It's gonna move away from you.

111

And whatever you try to avoid

112

and push away from you is just a question of time until it's gonna move like pretty close towards you.

113

also in the way of how it's expressed, don't touch the water.

114

If you don't want to have a life that is too shaky, don't touch the water.

115

Because in the moment you touch, your touch is the initiation for the ripples to appear.

116

Same way, you want to follow that goal, you want to have it easy along that goal.

117

Don't touch any additional water along your goal.

118

Don't touch it because you like something and don't touch it because you dislike something.

119

Because when you walk towards the goal and you do here and here and here, you're just gonna ripple your whole surroundings,

120

which ultimately means your energy is being just drawn away from your initial goal.

121

You don't like something and then you invest the energy there.

122

You like something and it draws your energy back to there.

123

Don't push, don't pull.

124

Be very aware who are you letting into your circle and ultimately rely on yourself, maintain the purity of your intention.

125

How does it help people to know the hard stuff?

126

Well, because I do think that it is symbolizing this way of life.

127

It is symbolizing the patterns of what you are going to go through in this lifetime.

128

this lifetime is not easy.

129

The more wishes you have, the more difficult it becomes.

130

The more ambitious you are, the more you will have to face.

131

So bottom line is, I do think

132

that in the moment where you just on a regular basis put yourself consciously and willingly

133

in different situations and circumstances that actually represent a little bit the structures of life.

134

There are moments in this lifetime where you are going to be super tense.

135

Super tense.

136

And then it's good to know already how does it feel and what is it that you can do?

137

Well, to learn and release the tension.

138

That's why releasing tension is also a big part of the exercises.

139

The one thing is learning to release tension.

140

The other thing is like when you are too sloppy, when you're too slacky, how to increase your tension,

141

how to increase the energy level again for you to get back into structure again.

142

So it's always this balance.

143

And so you're almost training to do hard things because hard things are an inevitability of the life we live.

144

In this training that I went through, for the moment maybe take all the spiritual part out, simply the Kung Fu training, the Shaolin Kung Fu training.

145

There is a saying which is Shaolin Kung Fu literally means walking through the valley of pain.

146

So, what does it mean?

147

When you are doing stretching, stretching, stretching, stretching, it's going to be painful.

148

when you are doing strength training is gonna be painful.

149

When you do conditioning training, it's gonna be painful.

150

So the whole path on this martial art journey,

151

it is just filled with working yourself up to the level of where it feels uncomfortable,

152

getting some consistency into the practice until the point where that uncomfortable feeling just started disappearing.

153

Why?

154

Because somehow you broke that initial comfort zone.

155

So, but then it doesn't end.

156

No. Next level.

157

It's not that I do not feel pain.

158

I also feel pain.

159

Maybe I feel it later.

160

But the essential part is that my connection,

161

my relation between the pain of the body towards what would it affect in the way of how I take my decisions.

162

That is a different one.

163

I feel the pain but at the moment I feel the pain

164

but I see no necessity to still change something about my way right now.

165

Why?

166

Because I can take the pain.

167

Whereas when you are not used to this pain you feel it and then it tells you, let's say it's It's painful, the mind is not good,

168

and so you directly change something.

169

And this is just the difference.

170

So it's not that I became numb.

171

No, I just feel there is an additional layer that I can observe about myself.

172

It is painful, but it's okay for right now.

173

This is absolutely inner work.

174

This has nothing to do with doing work out here.

175

It's inner work.

176

How does one begin the journey of doing that inner work?

177

You give trust in the vision that when you are investing your time right now to become more aware of yourself,

178

of your emotional state, that this is going to benefit your life.

179

That's the starting point.

180

You believe in it.

181

You believe in it.

182

So you don't do it because somebody tells you you're supposed to do it.

183

You do it because you genuinely believe this is the way.

184

I want to know more about myself.

185

I want to really understand what is it that I am made out of.

186

You want to figure out, is there something inside of myself?

187

I tried to look away for many years, but I know it's still there.

188

And was afraid to look at it.

189

All of these things.

190

There's only one way to make yourself free.

191

You need to become transparent.

192

If there are spots inside of ourselves where there is no light yet, it can't be.

193

It can't be.

194

Bringing light to everything that has been in the dark.

195

This is another area of the past, which at some point everybody will face.

196

Even though that this is now just like a saying, but just the idea.

197

Whatever you're doing, whatever you're thinking, whether people are around you or you're alone,

198

Just imagine, there is one who always sees what you're doing.

199

So live your life based on that.

200

It is the elevated version of you, but it's true.

201

It's you and you.

202

Once I've shone a light on that area of me, so I have greater awareness of its existence and it's now transparent,

203

is it a case then of what is the work I then have to do to make a change in that context.

204

So we're talking here about managing one's emotions

205

and getting a grip of one's emotions so you can avoid being triggered

206

or perpetrating the same patterns in your life that have led you to the same outcomes.

207

First you believe that it's possible to change, you gain a greater awareness of the parts of yourself

208

that you've kept in in the dark that you might want to change, and then what does one do from there?

209

Let me put it like this.

210

Whatever you are thinking, saying,

211

or doing has a consequence.

212

So this consequence that you have created or that you are intending to create,

213

Ask yourself, what is that consequence actually?

214

Does it make yourself, does it make your being, your interaction with people, does it make it feel more light,

215

more pleasurable, more enjoying, more free, more nourishing?

216

Or is the result that you are about to create going in the other direction?

217

Meaning you are nourishing conflict, you are nourishing aggression, feeling like you are carrying the suffering of the world on your shoulder,

218

feeling like there's a burden on you, feeling like there's a stone on your heart, feeling like you're being put under pressure.

219

All of these expressions have something to do with density, have something to do with pressure.

220

But then when we look at, no matter which tradition it is,

221

Buddhism, enlightenment, freedom, liberation, elevation, no matter what it is,

222

you see, it is just two forces in the world.

223

Two forces in the world,

224

one aiming for limitlessness and the other one aiming for restricting and very clear boundaries.

225

These are the two forces.

226

And this is exactly now turning the view upon yourself.

227

What are you made out of?

228

Your patterns, the emotional states that follow you within a week.

229

Within a week, looking back the last week, what was the most dominating emotion you felt inside yourself?

230

Was it one that had the character of limiting yourself in a way?

231

Or were you in an emotional state like through the week?

232

This was light, it was cool, liberated, free, uplifting, joyful, which of these?

233

So, and this simply gives you exactly from what to what do I think you need to transform yourself

234

if you want this.

235

The more you want your life now, let's say, in the future to be quite different than what you're used to,

236

the more you need to be able to let go.

237

Let go of patterns, let go of the way of thoughts that you had in the last years and months.

238

Now if nothing changes about that, there will not come a new life.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
