"What am I making this mean?" "Separate out the event that actually happened from the meaning that you assigned to that event, and then question the meaning that you assigned to that event." "Question your meaning instead of assuming it." She takes such deeply rooted human issues and breaks it down until it's so simple. I love this woman

Literally watching this an instant breakthrough as to why I have hard time letting things go. Everything a pet died when I was younger I'd think "why does everything I care about get taken from me?" I hold onto material things to fill that void and keep people at arms lengths in my heart to protect myself. I feel that wall around my heart melting as I start to cry and type this out. Now that I see it I can let go and be more open. I thank you for your videos!

very helpful information. im impressed it is free. we are totally blessed to have it and use it. thank you for your courage,Teal!

This was essentially the biggest tool I used for recovering from anorexia. Questioning what I was making everything mean forced me to see where I had created all this pain in my reality, and it gave me the sense of power that I could create new, more positive better feeling meaning out of all of the things that had happened and would happen in my life. Total game changer!

The meaning I assign to your videos is that they're OUTSTANDING!! Great stuff!!

The foundation of our self- perception is formed in early childhood. If we're lucky, we have parents who give us enough *love* to equip us with the understanding that their- and others- negative reactions in certain situations are momentary and related to the event, not their basic and entire view of us.

ON point, Teal. Placing meaning on an emotional experience is totally ok, but if the rest our lives are shaped by only that one interpretation, we are locked in a tiny box. I think this is where critical thinking comes in.

This is what I need to hear, I am in such a horrible place right now, I am thankful that I can hear the message, yet it still makes the day somewhat unbearable. Thank you for your videos Swan, they truly help. God bless you Swan.

Nice! I used to wear those glasses because of things my father said/done when I was young. However, as both adults, we communicated and communicated until we both reached mutual understanding. My father was in the military, and when I was young, he was experiencing the most stressful time in his career. He has ptsd because of (which he's working to release). My father always loved me. He just couldn't channel his stress. I forgave him and he forgave me.

This analogy is brilliant!

those are some cool ass sunglasses.

Love ain't as easy as saying "I love you", because that can be a partial truth or a lie. But I don't think love needs to be all pure fairytale either. For some, love seems easy, but I never understood love, not how it forms, not how it goes. Only after watching Teal's videos I kinda get what love is. Kinda.

This lesson is so so so so important, I wish she had extended it and given a multitude of examples. Understanding this concept can pull you out of the depths of depression. You have to give every challenging situation a positive meaning. When you feel bad about a situation, it is not the situation that is making you feel bad, but the meaning you have given the situation. Tony Robbins does a good job of explaining this in most of his videos. But I like how straight forward and simple Teal made this. Instead of interpreting the meaning of what someone does or says to you and then drowning in anger and hurt because you feel they meant you harm, just ask them their intention. I like that :)

But that doesn't always work, because people lie to try to not hurt your feelings. Especially if they are your parents for example.

I was raised that if you don't have anything nice or inspiring to say then keep your opinions to yourself. makes for a much nicer world! Don't attack Teal because you don't agree. Really? She's been through enough and she's a light into a,world of hurt by sharing her journey and trying to help others on their journey on planet earth. Nothing but love for you Teal

Teal just explained in a very understandable way what "The Work" by Byron Katie tries to achieve. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to have a deeper look into what Teal Just explained. Thank you Teal!

I just started the meaningless world lessons in A Course in Miracles! What a synch! Love you Teal!

It’s funny how you find things exactly when you need to hear them. Thank you for all of your videos and insight Teal Swan.

I used to work for someone who did some relationship counseling. I would sometimes get calls from clients describing something the other one said or did and then they would say the other one was thinking such and such. And then they would use that to assign some meaning to it. I was amazed at how much people read into so little and with no real information or basis for doing so. The meanings assigned do not always make sense and would lead to insecurity, anger etc.

I am in therapy because of how my parents raised me. I often try to find meaning in why my parents did things like: My mom wanted me to be just like her, because she had a bad childhood and it was almost a way to get a second chance. My mom often becomes frustrated and starts yelling, because her parents never listend to her and she wants to be heared. Is this the same as seeking meaning?

Once in awhile I am draw to watch one of your videos, and every time I discover something special. I want to thank you for this one, as I have found something that is helping me so much! As per your advice, I have been asking myself, "What meaning am I giving this?" when I find myself in a situation that is being interpreted as negative, and it instantly removes the filters! In that moment it becomes easy to see that it is merely my ego, desperate to give meaning to each and every experience---that's what it does! And it does a damn good job at doing it, which is a good thing, because the ego is a vital part of our human existence! But this little trick allows me to move my awareness out of my ego and into my heart, where I can experience the present moment without filters. It's really amazing. While I have lived by the knowing that it is the meaning we give to experience that matters, I have had a hard time putting that into practice with the 'little' things. 'Big' things are easy in that there is so much to work with in terms of flipping it and finding the silver lining. But little things--personal things--like what someone says or doesn't say; what someone does or doesn't do have been a source of struggle for me. I have been working on acceptance, but realize I have been attempting to do that from the awareness of my ego (with all it's filters). Moving my awareness into my heart brings instant acceptance, and the little things don't matter so much. They stop being personal, and I am able to be at peace with the situation. Thank you so much for this wonderful, little trick!

wow. exactly what i needed right now. thank you!

This brought me to tears, I have been lying to myself all my life.

This was the most enlightening and stricking video to me..... And I didnt expect that. I think about this often. But hearing it from someone else in such a sorted out way is truly strengthening. I felt a clearing up vision while watching this.

This video changed my life

This is one of her best videos.

Once again, Teal manages to explain more of what I need to understand about healing from my past in one short video than I learned in so, so many years of therapy! I wish I had Teal in my life way back when....

wow, Teal you have an incredible ability for describing intermediate teachings and concepts in such a simple way. I love your videos.

Thank god for you Teal! I appreciate your teachings so very much. It really helps to understand things better.

You're such a blessing for everyone putting out free video I'm sending out my maximum blessing to you❤️❤️

We are blessed by your presence, Teal. I love you.

Wow ! Alot of what I experience makes sense now. For years I've struggled with family issues, and now understand the root of it. Thank you for this explanation and advice on how to change things.

You're saving my life kind woman ❤️

This was something that I needed to hear right now. I have in my life assigned assumed meaning to certain experiences that damaged me greatly. My assumptions were sometimes right though...

muito obrigado teal. thank you teal. from now on my confidence grew and i feel safe and capable to face my fears of failures. much love. sending you gratitude and sucssess frequencies! feel protected as well cause i am a energy warrior.

She amazes me. I love her.

This Video is GOLD! Thank you.

Sister, Thank You for assisting me in freeing myself. Namaste

Infinite love to this woman. Thanks ♥

Dear teal my whole life i felt insignificant in relationships and i think now it´´s time to question it and let go of it. Thank you so much for your work and this video

Thank you Teal.

This video totally changed my life.....

WOW! I am seeing this video at the perfect time! Thank you Teal!

Sending you all the love in the world Teal 💚 You're one of the few who answer all of my questions, you've really done the Shadow work

Goodness gracious me, the backdrop is mesmerising!

you help me through so muchtrauma and abuse and addiction and despair and you give my concept of hope meaning teal. all of my friends have heard your name from me or seen your videos cus of me... you helped me through when my dog was taken by the false victim complex and i got him back despite actually being the victim myself. youv allowed me to find meaning and love and validation and attunement to my unmet needs and over compensations and ptsd and feelings and to recognise my negative impints, intents, and fallocies iv experienced. i no longer feel like a evil monster, or undeserving of life or love.... my hyper sensitive yet egocentric spirit dispels at least one illusion a day to your guidance and wisdom and perspecytives and i thank you with for helping me find reclamation self worth and comprehension in day to day affairs. plz dont ever sell out or give up or allow someone to discourage you... if u ever need anything, a vacation, money, a buzz or empowermentv

I'm really going to try to practice this everyday ! Thanks

Thanks for the reminder of how much MEANING I bring to the event. Great talk , great advice. I knew a guy whose neighbors hated him cause they always heard him hollering at his elderly mother, but the truth was she was almost totally deaf and he had to yell at her for her to hear him. He told me he was ALWAYS hollering at her just to have a simple conversation. The neighbors assigned their own meaning to that event. :)

Thank you you have helped me more than you can know.

Thank you Teal

teal ,you are really knowledgeable and smart.that's why I listen to you.

thank you Teal, from the bottom of my rung out heart.

Very true and helpful! Thank you Teal for preparing and sharing these videos 😊

I enjoyed this Teal. It has been awhile since I've chosen to listen to you. It really is amazing how how powerful the beliefs we attach to things can totally alter our feelings which then determines our behavior. I've noticed a lot of different suggestions to helping folks get back to the truth, yet I believe everyone gravitates to different paths and , of course, this is only my current belief.

Powerful video Teal! Thanks so much!!

This puts everything in place thanks

I'm blown away yet again Teal Swan 😃😊!

I needed to hear this and it came at the perfect time

Justo lo que necesitaba...muchas gracias!!!

Another amazing episode, thank you Teal!!! Much love

So far for me the best video that I have ever seen from this lady that open my eyes and I wish when I was a child I could have this knowledge. My desire for her is the best of life . Health upon Health that is the riches of life and the real treasure in this world. Peace Shalom Paz .

You'r AWSOME! This reminds me of the Jonny Nash song "I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW THE RAIN IS GONE!" The "RAIN" = the meaning. And now is gonna be a BRIGHT BRIGHT sun shinny day Baby! Soooooo bright! Let's throw our hurtful meaning glasses our hurtful meaning glasses crank up the volume on the Jonny Nash song and let's all dance together and have an end of destructive meaning celebration party! Come on earthlings! Its Independence Day! Independence from all the hurtful meaning that put on things that chains us down in fear! Dance people we are free at last!!! I love you so much Teal when I listen to you my heart swells out of my chest! Come on people lets let go of all those fear based meanings and let's make a love quake that rocks the universe!!!!

This has really been on my mind and it's been a theme calling my attention lately.

Thank you Teal!!!

Thank you Teal!! 😊

Yet another insighful video...many thanks for the reminders.

Excellent.. A great advancement in our search for truth.. 🦋

wonderful again. Thank you.

wow thank you so much for this. I never realised I've been doing this. This actually helped me a lot.

That is the power of perspective

Work of art! So amazing!

You are a full of wisdom woman, I really enjoy your videos, every video i watch on your cannel gives me even more knowledge of what i though i already explored all the posibilities, thank you!

Just what I needed to hear. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this particular topic. Difference b/w persuption and the actual meaning. Ask question instead assuming. This made us to see the world more clearly. Really useful stuff.....

This was great! Thanks Teal x

I love you so much Teal....

Teal seems to always give a timeline from childhood to adulthood.

This is so good. I absolutely love u teal ❤

She looks SOO pretty in this video. So so pretty.

Love those glasses, Teal. Great visualization of what you're saying!!!!!!!!!

thank you so much for this! it's exactly what I needed now

Another excellent video. Thank you Teal. Your video pertained to something going out currently in my relationship.

Thank you! ♥️

I liked your hair style more than the other in other videos. Thank you very much for these informations 🙏

teal is just heal🖤🖤🖤

Teal explained my life by her example. 🤯

Excellent thank you.

Thank you

Awesome! This is very intense! Also, nice shades!

Really great video, bravo. Well done and great job.

Thank you 🙏

Here is another one of Teal's videos that sooo resonates with the work that Michael Brown does in his book "The Presence Process." That book changed my life - it's hard work but it will help you tremendously in the long term. Blessings to everyone.

love u teal.. thank u.

thank you

Teal, thanks for making this video. I assure you, this is the first of many videos I will watch. I totally understood the wisdom given in this video. However, when you suggested people were responsible for the positive and negative feelings they feel because they decide the meaning they assign to both. I found myself assigning the meaning to what you said as being if you thinking even a person who is victimized chooses to feel victimized. However, as soon as I assigned that meaning I knew it was wrong. I hope as I watch your videos I discover what wisdom you have to offer that helps me to deal with the experience that made me assign the initial meaning I find unfair to others and unhealthy to me.

And I have to watch this Yet again! Because sometimes life gets in the way and the stresses of how imbalanced this society is run makes it to where old survival patterns kick in and I forget my lessons. So Im glad this is here. :)

Thanks you TEal

Cool earrings Teal. And thanks for the video.

Teal, thank You for reminding me about that. :) Great video.

sweet!!! nice video... It changed some misconceptions I had...

Robert Wright, author of "Why Buddhism Is True", referred to meaning as "essence". We put meaning/essence to events as Teal has explained, as well as to material things, and people. It is like the amount of energy or value we do or do not place on things, and the kind of essence we assign to things can be positive or negative. Basically it's all an illusion, and a construct of the mind and feelings that we personally assign or place on/to things that give those things specific meaning. And we all know those "essence" which can cause a large range of emotions, will eventually guide or even control our lives.

this is gold
