Speaker: 00:00:02

I must say I must say are you all and peace be with you

00:00:08,666 --> 00:00:11,000

welcome I'm Mark

00:00:11,033 --> 00:00:16,366

and I'm Maria and we do see magic on the daily

00:00:17,066 --> 00:00:18,300

thanks for coming in

00:00:18,866 --> 00:00:22,066

welcome and hope you're feeling well today

00:00:22,066 --> 00:00:22,566

and if not

00:00:22,566 --> 00:00:25,300

I hope that you feel better after today's podcast

00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:29,400

um I hope this is a little bit of a breath of fresh air

00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:34,000

soft warm and soothing voice in the

00:00:34,433 --> 00:00:37,100

in the craziness of modern the modern world

00:00:40,266 --> 00:00:44,000

you wanted to get me some beads today

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:44,633

well yeah

00:00:44,633 --> 00:00:45,933

we thought that you know

00:00:46,166 --> 00:00:47,466

if you can

00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,233

part of our practice

00:00:49,233 --> 00:00:51,566

which we love to share with others is

00:00:52,966 --> 00:00:56,133

is Japa meditation these are really beautiful

00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:57,500

yeah

00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,966

I once gave these beads to my father in 2,001

00:01:02,966 --> 00:01:04,633

and he had them by his bedside

00:01:04,633 --> 00:01:06,366

and he used to pray on them

00:01:06,366 --> 00:01:09,100

he used to say the Lord is my Shepherd prayer

00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:10,800

I think it's Psalm 23

00:01:11,833 --> 00:01:15,300

and after he passed away I was able to

00:01:16,233 --> 00:01:18,000

to take them back you know

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,933

my mom said you could take them now

00:01:20,166 --> 00:01:20,966

it's so nice

00:01:20,966 --> 00:01:23,933

I carry them with me as I did before I gave them to him

00:01:24,466 --> 00:01:26,200

and then literally like 20

00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,233

21 years later there they are back in my pocket

00:01:32,233 --> 00:01:35,300

though if I had to grab anything

00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:38,000

out of the house out of the house

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,300

it's on fire it's on fire

00:01:39,566 --> 00:01:41,733

I would definitely probably grab my beads

00:01:42,233 --> 00:01:44,266

um I have an

00:01:44,266 --> 00:01:45,600

another set of special beads that

00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,366

a friend of mine actually made for me and

00:01:48,366 --> 00:01:49,866

and he made them with fishing wire

00:01:49,866 --> 00:01:51,400

ha ha they're so strong

00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,166

but they've been with me through thick and thin

00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,366

so thank you dear friend

00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:58,733

for making me those beads all those years ago

00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:01,566

I still have them in my bead bag

00:02:01,866 --> 00:02:02,933

typically uh

00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:05,500

a full set of beads is a hundred and eight

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000

first to the hundred and eight Apache beads

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,366

and this is a 1/2 round it's fifty four

00:02:12,666 --> 00:02:14,500

and Japa meditation

00:02:14,766 --> 00:02:16,866

it engages another sense and when we're

00:02:16,866 --> 00:02:18,100

when we're saying and singing

00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:20,200

or repeating the names of god on

00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,800

in garonga or when we do the Mahamantra in kirtan

00:02:25,233 --> 00:02:29,300

we engage the sense of hearing and the sense of

00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,933

of the voice and the and the vibration

00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,033

uh and this really

00:02:34,033 --> 00:02:35,533

the nice thing about Japa

00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:37,600

and these Japa malabes

00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,266

is that they engage the sense of touch

00:02:40,766 --> 00:02:42,366

and everyone likes you know

00:02:42,366 --> 00:02:43,700

part of the reason that

00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:46,166

people have a hard time giving up addiction sometimes

00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:47,600

is also because of the

00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:49,633

there's all these rituals and habits around it

00:02:49,633 --> 00:02:51,166

and also sort of the

00:02:51,166 --> 00:02:53,966

the touching and flicking of a cigarette

00:02:53,966 --> 00:02:57,400

you know or so this engages the touch

00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,333

the sense of touch and I find it extremely comforting

00:03:02,566 --> 00:03:03,600

uh you know

00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,600

sometimes I'll be in looking around where are my beads

00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,766

you know and I wanna have them with me

00:03:07,766 --> 00:03:10,100

I put typically wrap them around my wrist

00:03:10,266 --> 00:03:11,900

or you even pick on your fingers

00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:13,966

and that's when I know you need your beads

00:03:13,966 --> 00:03:15,100

and you need my beads yeah

00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:17,666

they help me they've helped me immensely with

00:03:18,366 --> 00:03:19,866

just focusing my mind

00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:23,433

and putting my heart on transcendent subject matters

00:03:23,433 --> 00:03:26,066

and very comforting to me

00:03:26,066 --> 00:03:27,966

and they might be comforting to you too

00:03:28,066 --> 00:03:29,266

so we'll just teach that you know

00:03:29,266 --> 00:03:31,533

the headbeat you don't usually count on the headbeat

00:03:31,666 --> 00:03:33,700

usually say goronga on the headbeat

00:03:34,266 --> 00:03:35,933

we'll just teach you a little mantra

00:03:36,766 --> 00:03:39,166

another mantra that we love to chant on our beads

00:03:39,633 --> 00:03:44,066

it's Gopala Gobindarama Madanamohana

00:03:44,666 --> 00:03:46,166

these are not sectarian words

00:03:46,166 --> 00:03:47,800

these are these are just names of god

00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,766

that they're in a particular language

00:03:49,866 --> 00:03:53,433

but you can say whatever names you're attracted to

00:03:53,433 --> 00:03:56,233

whether in Russian or Arabic or Chinese

00:03:56,233 --> 00:03:59,966

or Hebrew or Aramaic Greek

00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,266

you see a lot of people around the world carrying beads

00:04:03,566 --> 00:04:07,133

some call it ziccar and others call it the Rosemary

00:04:07,666 --> 00:04:08,700

oh not the Rosemary

00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:10,700

the rosary ha ha ha

00:04:11,466 --> 00:04:12,866

although we love Rosemary

00:04:12,866 --> 00:04:14,266

we picked some wild Rosemary

00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:15,900

oh that's right

00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:17,166

that's right yeah

100

00:04:17,166 --> 00:04:18,766

we picked some wild Rosemary the other day

101

00:04:18,766 --> 00:04:21,466

we made some really nice Rosemary potatoes

102

00:04:21,466 --> 00:04:23,633

but um yeah

103

00:04:23,633 --> 00:04:24,700

those are good yeah

104

00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:25,700

I you know

105

00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:30,600

coming from a a practice of not moving

106

00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,766

being silent

107

00:04:33,466 --> 00:04:35,666

totally absorbed in yourself

108

00:04:36,433 --> 00:04:39,266

for me that that was a little bit strange

109

00:04:39,566 --> 00:04:42,366

so it took me a couple months actually

110

00:04:42,833 --> 00:04:44,066

um and I

111

00:04:44,066 --> 00:04:47,466

I had this thank you for

112

00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:49,700

that was a friend in from Italy

113

00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:51,566

I I left my beads at her house

114

00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,033

and she sent the beads in a little bead bag

115

00:04:54,033 --> 00:04:55,500

so sweet that was so sweet

116

00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:56,100

that was actually

117

00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:58,266

you should just take care of your beads

118

00:04:58,266 --> 00:04:59,166

keep them in a nice place

119

00:04:59,166 --> 00:05:00,266

you're like a good friend

120

00:05:00,266 --> 00:05:01,066

you know and she

121

00:05:01,066 --> 00:05:03,300

she was so kind that she she knew that those beads

122

00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:06,566

those are also beads that I had given to my father

123

00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,033

yeah

124

00:05:07,033 --> 00:05:09,166

and then they came back to me and I had forgotten them

125

00:05:09,166 --> 00:05:10,033

yes and I

126

00:05:10,033 --> 00:05:11,766

although I was like okay

127

00:05:11,766 --> 00:05:12,833

maybe you can keep them

128

00:05:12,833 --> 00:05:14,600

she knew that they were very special to me

129

00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,400

and she so kindly offered to send them back to me

130

00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,100

she sent them in the mail

131

00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:20,300

but she put them in a little bead bag

132

00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:21,633

yeah so I said Maria

133

00:05:21,633 --> 00:05:23,033

you take them and use them please

134

00:05:23,033 --> 00:05:23,633

yeah and I

135

00:05:23,633 --> 00:05:24,866

I couldn't use them

136

00:05:24,866 --> 00:05:27,866

because I'm coming from a meditation practice

137

00:05:27,866 --> 00:05:30,000

where you don't move

138

00:05:30,566 --> 00:05:32,933

the best practice is when you lose

139

00:05:33,033 --> 00:05:34,566

you lose the

140

00:05:35,366 --> 00:05:35,966

you know the

141

00:05:35,966 --> 00:05:37,566

the the feeling of your body

142

00:05:37,566 --> 00:05:38,566

you're somewhere else

143

00:05:38,566 --> 00:05:42,800

you merge with something bigger that you can't grasp

144

00:05:42,866 --> 00:05:44,233

the white light yeah

145

00:05:44,233 --> 00:05:45,866

yeah the void drama

146

00:05:45,866 --> 00:05:48,466

Joti or we'll talk about that yeah

147

00:05:48,466 --> 00:05:49,466

there's lots to talk about

148

00:05:49,466 --> 00:05:51,333

so I kept you know

149

00:05:51,966 --> 00:05:55,800

merging with something and I didn't wanna move

150

00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,866

so always when I moved or something was itching

151

00:05:58,866 --> 00:06:02,400

and I gave in into that I got out of that state

152

00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,800

so it was uh it was a bad thing to move for me and uh

153

00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,600

154

00:06:09,066 --> 00:06:10,800

you know no sound that

155

00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,000

be completely quiet

156

00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,266

because every sound gets you out of the state

157

00:06:15,266 --> 00:06:16,466

you try that in the modern world

158

00:06:16,466 --> 00:06:18,200

if you have a baby in the house or yeah

159

00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,000

a roommate but that was my

160

00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,133

that was my preferred practice

161

00:06:22,233 --> 00:06:23,033

you know

162

00:06:23,433 --> 00:06:25,033

no movement it was mine too

163

00:06:25,033 --> 00:06:26,300

for a long time no style

164

00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:27,366

I went through that process

165

00:06:27,366 --> 00:06:28,300

yeah no nothing

166

00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:29,433

you just nothing

167

00:06:29,433 --> 00:06:31,500

I spent several years at the pastor centre

168

00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:32,233

so yeah

169

00:06:32,233 --> 00:06:35,400

so so when Mark gave me these beads I

170

00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,933

I I

171

00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,700

I just couldn't use them

172

00:06:39,866 --> 00:06:42,866

so I was carrying them with me in my

173

00:06:42,866 --> 00:06:45,400

in my bag or in my you know

174

00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,600

and just and I just kept giving my hand inside

175

00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,800

and playing with them

176

00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,800

so I didn't sand on them for a couple months

177

00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,300

many months cause I just couldn't

178

00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:55,666

you know

179

00:06:55,666 --> 00:06:59,433

this feeling of moving and getting into meditation

180

00:06:59,433 --> 00:07:02,300

I had so many blockages from that

181

00:07:02,866 --> 00:07:05,233

and I just had this restrictions

182

00:07:05,233 --> 00:07:05,600

no no

183

00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,100

no that's not the way

184

00:07:07,666 --> 00:07:09,133

but slowly

185

00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,033

it's getting

186

00:07:11,033 --> 00:07:13,600

it's getting addicted to the feeling of the beach

187

00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,666

and now I wake the last two nights

188

00:07:15,666 --> 00:07:18,033

I woke up at exactly 4:00

189

00:07:18,033 --> 00:07:19,666

beautiful time if you wake up at 4:00am

190

00:07:19,666 --> 00:07:20,900

I know don't get stressed

191

00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:22,466

pick up your beads and watch

192

00:07:22,466 --> 00:07:25,200

it was exactly 4:00 twice now

193

00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:28,266

and I got up and I got into the living room

194

00:07:28,266 --> 00:07:31,700

and I just laid down and started chanting on my beans

195

00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:33,366

so um

196

00:07:33,366 --> 00:07:37,733

it could be that you have a lot of restrictions and

197

00:07:38,033 --> 00:07:41,400

you know barriers to do something like that

198

00:07:42,066 --> 00:07:43,666

because of many reasons

199

00:07:44,233 --> 00:07:46,400

I won't dive into that right now

200

00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,500

it's a very personal matter

201

00:07:48,566 --> 00:07:51,766

but just give it a try and see how it feels

202

00:07:52,366 --> 00:07:56,066

you might be surprised just like I was yeah

203

00:07:56,066 --> 00:08:01,566

and I I've been practicing for over 25 years now and

204

00:08:01,566 --> 00:08:04,366

and it's um

205

00:08:06,233 --> 00:08:08,233

it's always fresh it always feels great

206

00:08:08,233 --> 00:08:10,366

you know every time I sit down

207

00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,633

you know if it's really noisy outside

208

00:08:12,633 --> 00:08:13,900

I can plug one ear

209

00:08:14,833 --> 00:08:17,500

and just really absorb myself in the sound

210

00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:19,466

but also in the feeling of my beads

211

00:08:19,766 --> 00:08:22,700

you know sometimes I'm furiously wiggling them

212

00:08:22,766 --> 00:08:25,100

other times I'm just touching them lightly

213

00:08:25,433 --> 00:08:26,866

I find if I need to slow down

214

00:08:26,866 --> 00:08:29,300

I just sort of really slow on rolling them

215

00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:30,566

there's no hard and fast rules

216

00:08:30,566 --> 00:08:32,800

but we'll just teach you I'll just do

217

00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,633

you know if you can pick up a set of beads

218

00:08:35,633 --> 00:08:37,566

there's lots of places in local

219

00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:37,966

you know

220

00:08:37,966 --> 00:08:40,466

if you go down to a local place that sells crystals

221

00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:42,966

you know incense and things like that

222

00:08:42,966 --> 00:08:45,766

you usually can find beads oh oh

223

00:08:45,833 --> 00:08:48,366

you remember those beads that I got

224

00:08:48,766 --> 00:08:50,833

um I was in Glastonbury

225

00:08:50,833 --> 00:08:52,066

and I went into the store

226

00:08:52,066 --> 00:08:54,233

and they had this gorgeous beads

227

00:08:54,233 --> 00:08:55,966

you know made out of crystals

228

00:08:56,033 --> 00:08:57,266

ha ha

229

00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,566

you know and all this

230

00:08:59,566 --> 00:09:01,233

and I put them around my wrist

231

00:09:01,233 --> 00:09:02,966

because it looked so nice

232

00:09:03,266 --> 00:09:06,366

but they're very uncomfortable to chant on

233

00:09:06,366 --> 00:09:07,100

yeah and you always

234

00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:09,966

like they might break and it was really weird

235

00:09:09,966 --> 00:09:11,700

so I what did I say to you

236

00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:13,766

I said one of the best beads

237

00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,666

the ones you use yeah

238

00:09:15,666 --> 00:09:17,566

the ones you use they're not meant for

239

00:09:17,566 --> 00:09:19,366

for fashion decoration decoration

240

00:09:19,566 --> 00:09:20,366

although they they

241

00:09:20,366 --> 00:09:21,400

you know I

242

00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,200

I just love

243

00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,100

I feel like I always have a friend coming with me

244

00:09:24,100 --> 00:09:26,633

and I do in the in the transcendent sound

245

00:09:26,633 --> 00:09:27,800

but also in the beats

246

00:09:28,300 --> 00:09:31,566

so I always keep them in 1/2 set in my pocket

247

00:09:32,033 --> 00:09:35,433

uh I never feel like I'm bored or have wasted time

248

00:09:35,433 --> 00:09:38,133

if I'm online somewhere or walking somewhere

249

00:09:38,633 --> 00:09:40,700

some people go out every morning and walk their dogs

250

00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:41,833

faithfully and I

251

00:09:41,833 --> 00:09:43,833

I try to walk my beats faithfully

252

00:09:43,833 --> 00:09:45,166

and do you remember

253

00:09:45,166 --> 00:09:47,866

when we were parking at these cemeteries

254

00:09:47,866 --> 00:09:49,033

and we were traveling yeah

255

00:09:49,033 --> 00:09:49,400

yeah yeah

256

00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,566

yeah and Mike got up when the sun rose

257

00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,266

I I'm not good at getting up early

258

00:09:55,266 --> 00:09:58,733

but he was just walking through the cemetery

259

00:09:59,166 --> 00:10:01,366

in the morning when the sun rose

260

00:10:01,366 --> 00:10:03,400

and just walking his beads

261

00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:05,066

and it was so nice to watch

262

00:10:05,066 --> 00:10:06,300

and it's so nice and quiet

263

00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:08,466

oh and cemeteries actually can be

264

00:10:08,466 --> 00:10:09,933

most cemeteries are public

265

00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,066

we found that they're great to park near

266

00:10:12,066 --> 00:10:13,400

because there's usually a water

267

00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,166

there's water there for the flowers

268

00:10:15,233 --> 00:10:17,000

that people put on the gravesides

269

00:10:17,233 --> 00:10:19,766

and so if you're respectful and it's public

270

00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:24,166

cemeteries can be fantastically beautiful places

271

00:10:24,166 --> 00:10:27,666

quiet places to take your beads for a walk

272

00:10:27,966 --> 00:10:31,500

and also you're out in nature in the fresh air and uh

273

00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,933

you know um

274

00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:36,866

I've spent a lot of time in cemeteries in my lifetime

275

00:10:36,866 --> 00:10:38,566

and I used to work in funeral

276

00:10:38,566 --> 00:10:40,300

and cemetery for a period of time too

277

00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:42,266

so it's also

278

00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:46,166

it's humbling and sobering to just be reminded that

279

00:10:46,166 --> 00:10:49,666

yeah one day all of this will be gone

280

00:10:49,666 --> 00:10:54,033

and it's good to take stock of our life

281

00:10:54,033 --> 00:10:56,700

and if you can do that even on a daily basis

282

00:10:56,700 --> 00:10:57,266

it's great

283

00:10:57,266 --> 00:11:00,900

but if you can find a nice place to walk your beads

284

00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:02,666

in the morning even at night

285

00:11:02,966 --> 00:11:04,900

we sometimes go for jappa walks

286

00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:07,466

we'll just walk outside together

287

00:11:07,466 --> 00:11:08,700

but we'll be chatting on our beads

288

00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:11,300

and so we'll just I'll just quickly

289

00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,000

you know the

290

00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,200

the mantra we say on the head bead

291

00:11:14,566 --> 00:11:15,833

you kind of go through the whole thing

292

00:11:15,833 --> 00:11:17,433

and then instead of jumping over the head bead

293

00:11:17,433 --> 00:11:20,266

you turn it around and just start again

294

00:11:20,833 --> 00:11:21,633

295

00:11:22,033 --> 00:11:23,066

on the on the

296

00:11:23,066 --> 00:11:24,700

the bead beside the head bead

297

00:11:25,966 --> 00:11:30,833

and so I'll just demonstrate Goranga Goppa

298

00:11:30,833 --> 00:11:33,700

Govinda Rama Madana Mohana

299

00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:35,933

and then move to the next beat

300

00:11:36,433 --> 00:11:39,333

go Palla go Vinderrama Madana Mohana

301

00:11:39,833 --> 00:11:41,400

and we can go a little faster

302

00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:45,000

go Palla go Vinderrama Madana Mohana go Palla

303

00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,100

govinda Rama madana mohana

308

00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,500

can you translate that

309

00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:06,200

these are

310

00:12:07,233 --> 00:12:10,300

these are all different names of God

311

00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:13,500

and there's no hard and fast rules

312

00:12:14,666 --> 00:12:15,466

313

00:12:16,666 --> 00:12:18,633

god there's only one supreme being

314

00:12:18,633 --> 00:12:21,400

00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:26,900

318

00:12:27,766 --> 00:12:29,500

in every scripture in the world I've

319

00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:32,733

I've read that God's names are to be praised

320

00:12:33,033 --> 00:12:35,766

in the Bible it says from the sun up to the sun down

321

00:12:35,766 --> 00:12:38,700

the lord's name is to be praised in

322

00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:41,700

so when somebody asked me what's your name

385

00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:20,433

I said Murari dasi das servant of

386

00:15:20,433 --> 00:15:21,233

you know

387

00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:23,666

servant of Murari

388

00:15:24,766 --> 00:15:28,433

yeah so I really like the merari one

389

00:15:28,433 --> 00:15:29,866

we we encourage you to you know

390

00:15:29,866 --> 00:15:31,433

when we we get together with people

391

00:15:31,433 --> 00:15:32,800

we often have a lot of

392

00:15:33,033 --> 00:15:35,633

I buy beads and then give them out I

393

00:15:35,633 --> 00:15:38,766

love giving out beads and giving out incense

394

00:15:38,766 --> 00:15:39,566

and

395

00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:42,433

we offer sometimes these lovely candies

396

00:15:42,433 --> 00:15:44,900

and give them out and it's really nice

397

00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:48,800

it's a nice way to even at a very short period of time

398

00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,200

give something that's really

399

00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,766

of great value and can really help people to

400

00:15:57,866 --> 00:15:59,133

engage in

401

00:16:04,666 --> 00:16:07,100

so we went a little over time today

402

00:16:07,833 --> 00:16:10,700

yeah but I think it's important because uh

403

00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:13,266

this is something you can do anywhere

404

00:16:13,266 --> 00:16:14,366

anytime

405

00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,233

you can't do impersonal meditation

406

00:16:18,233 --> 00:16:20,433

where you need a quiet stark

407

00:16:20,433 --> 00:16:23,100

not that you can't move spot

408

00:16:23,166 --> 00:16:24,500

that's that's something you

409

00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:26,966

you can only do in a really safe place

410

00:16:26,966 --> 00:16:30,033

and then we found it in the comfort of beads yeah

411

00:16:30,033 --> 00:16:32,066

so you can do anywhere so

412

00:16:32,066 --> 00:16:36,000

when we drive in the car and we're waiting somewhere

413

00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,033

or when we just go for walks

414

00:16:39,033 --> 00:16:42,766

we have it in our hands and sometimes

415

00:16:42,833 --> 00:16:45,900

I mean mostly in the last months I didn't chant

416

00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:49,766

I just played with them get got familiar with them

417

00:16:49,833 --> 00:16:51,833

remembered them ha ha yeah

418

00:16:51,833 --> 00:16:53,233

they start to become like an old friend

419

00:16:53,233 --> 00:16:55,300

you always wanna have them with you

420

00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:57,966

I know so it takes a while it really took me many

421

00:16:57,966 --> 00:17:02,000

many months to get close to them again

422

00:17:03,066 --> 00:17:04,600

and sometimes we lean into

423

00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,433

and sometimes we lean away from our practices

424

00:17:07,433 --> 00:17:08,566

and that's yeah

425

00:17:08,566 --> 00:17:10,566

we're not perfect and we're not uh

426

00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:11,466

you know

427

00:17:11,466 --> 00:17:14,866

we still have we're still practicing so it's so lovely

428

00:17:14,866 --> 00:17:16,100

it's it's a car it's

429

00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:16,766

there's no

430

00:17:16,766 --> 00:17:21,866

end to the different levels of consciousness one can

431

00:17:24,066 --> 00:17:25,666

yeah be in I'm sorry

432

00:17:25,666 --> 00:17:27,200

going all the time but for me

433

00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,466

this is really important

434

00:17:28,466 --> 00:17:32,633

because it was a change of mind that took many

435

00:17:32,633 --> 00:17:33,666

many months

436

00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:35,833

but I think many

437

00:17:35,833 --> 00:17:39,566

many people who who come from the impersonal

438

00:17:41,666 --> 00:17:43,733

silent meditation yeah

439

00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,866

um we're just in the same situation tomorrow

440

00:17:47,866 --> 00:17:51,266

441

00:17:51,266 --> 00:17:52,500

people shushing people cause it said please be quiet

444

00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,066
