    Dark night of the soul is when the shadow from the subconscious becomes so big that it becomes conscious. It comes to the light to be healed

    1) Thinking about it not going to solve the problem.
    2) Try not to judge, label, analyze describe everything that you experience
    3) Try to spend time in nature

    I've always believed in a universal intelligence yet reacted as if I know better and needed to control events. Makes me laugh at myself now. My interpretations were always painful while all I had to do was genuinely trust the universe and open the corridor of perspectives, what a relief, I now mostly move through life with ease.

    I can feel Dr. Chopra's love. I am going through this Dark night of the Soul. I could not figure out what has been happening to me. I have no one in my life that understands spirituality they all say it's crazy. I have to look to the internet to learn and share regarding this. It's OK though, at least I know now what is happening to me. Thank you, Dr. Chopra.

      Awakened Reality Ask the Holy Spirit to shine his light into your darkness. If yo I have not done so yet, start eating a health diet with no junk foods, no sugar foods etc. Eat while foods fruits and vegtables with some whole grains, this also helps. Good luck, hang in there. There is light at the coming believe this.

      Lillian Hulse: I don’t know, of course, but have been experiencing ‘things’ since at least January 2014.
      For example, I’ve had instances of ‘no thought’, wherein my mind has gone blank - without thought - for perhaps up to 15 minutes. I’ve also had experiences where I felt I couldn’t take things anymore, as if something MUST give. At some point soon thereafter, I’d feel different, sense of relief which, ultimately, was a higher state of consciousness; this has happened maybe 5-6 times since January, 2014.
      There are other examples I’ll skip, but do want to say that today, 2/9/2018, I have been experiencing, since 1/31/18, physical disorientation, a lack of motivation, not knowing where I ‘fit in’, scarcely eating, remaining in my apartment for days on end, sleeping in my clothing, overthinking / rumination ... and on.
      A friend suggests ‘surrender’, and trust the Universe.
      🙏

    Susan just described everything I have been feeling for the past year. Our conditioning tells us these feelings are bad, we are ill, we should be happy, we need fixing, but if we can learn to be with them (not easy, I know), perhaps they are the most useful tool we have for moving out of the dream of the ego.

      I am really suffering here with this Dark Night of the Soul / Dukkha Nana's stuff... I have been going through it off and on for 7 years and it is unbearable ,downright painful for me...
      .... how can a person give of themselves if it has made them pretty much a recluse ...it has become very hard for me to even pull myself together to get out the door ...I feel almost as if I'm in a much denser environment... all I want to do is lay down and this has destroyed my life...
      it has caused me to be a huge disappointment to those closest to me and they think I just do not care... the last time I came out of it I thought I was free and that everything would be fine but this is the worst and has made me close to dysfunctional ...
      ....everything is almost an impossible effort and I've had no appetite ...I have to force myself to eat ...I have tried the different yoga's and breathing for the third chakra which helped to release the fear and anxiety but I wish I could talk to Deepak.
      and now all this has put me in a very bad situation and I don't know what to do .

    The dark part of your soul is your ego being destroyed, and trapped emotions inside you create all of those problems, so learn how to clear those trapped emotions and heart wall or find someone that knows how to clear them for you. Your awakening will be much easier I promise.

    • @giovanni-ed7zq
      @giovanni-ed7zq Před 2 lety +2

      no one can clear it for you, thats just savior programming. you have to clear it yourself. its a calling to find your true self, and to love yourself, and everything is stripped away that you identify with or hold dear, your job, your career, your friends, family, your material posessions, and then you sit there looking inward looking at all the attachments, past traumas, pains, sufferings, hurts, all in that uncertainty until you find yourself and find your way out in a sense. but you never really get out of the dark night of the soul. because you dont go back to who you thought you were. the worst of it can last 20 years or more. your ego is cleansed in the process.

    • @urbansetter1
      @urbansetter1 Před 2 lety +4

      The only way to clear those trapped emotions is to walk right through them and feel them. This is why the dark night feels like he'll. Excruiatingly painful

  • @Simon-pl2zi
    @Simon-pl2zi Před 6 lety +9

    The "cure" to anything is to choose to be happy in as many moments as is possible. The so called "dark night of the soul" is simply being out of alignment with who you really are. The awakening experience does not require a "dark night of the soul". Many who become aware of the fact they are more non-physical than physical, or that life is a dream, do not experience this.

    In the middle of this state.. I ask myself how can i heal having a psychopath narcissist mother who was a sadist with me and abused me during my first 11 years of life. She became a criminal and chose a miserable life .. I still love that woman, I tried to help her as a kid at the same time I was terrified of her, I needed a mother. I was adopted after, I asked for adoption.
    I don’t know how to make peace with that story. I’m trying to find the meaning, i still crave making peace with her inside. She asked for forgiveness, and we been in touch after 20 ys no contact. And she is still a person you can not trust. She went through horros and you can see her eyes are empty.. and I feel so sorry for her.. I don’t know how to make peace with this.. nobody helps me find an answer to such a tragedy in a human life. In a family.. I would appreciate any suggestions.. I’m 32 and I grew up with this deep pain in my soul..

    Then I came out of The Dark Night of the Soul also called the Dukkha Nanas.. in early December .. worked hard to eat more especially of a lot of nutrition and getting healthy again but recently I feel as if something is pulling me back there because I have a lot of worries over money .
    I am also having a very hard time with concentrating for my meditation practice and this is the worst it's ever been with trying to keep my mind from bouncing around .. I can sit in the position for a long time but the mind just wanders.. I try looking down past the point of my nose which helps with the concentration but lately it doesn't seem to work.

      Raven Blakely The ‘emotional disbelief’ most likely is due to ego-personality not wanting its shadows to be found as it believes, through much programming, that it will have to give up the ‘control’ over outcomes in your life which were only ever illusions, causing you to spin your wheels ever more in fear- dropping your vibration & attracting even more into your reality that it will fear.
      When we’re ready for the next stage of higher awareness, our Soul gives a resounding “Yes!” through the GPS of our hearts!
      Be still & Know... the ONLY way out of the darkness required to awaken from the illusory Matrix/veil is Through it, hand in hand with one’s Higher Self/God/Source/Creator- this was always the Way planned for this journey in a human form. ~*~

    Dr. Chopra, I have heard your name but am not familiar with your views to any extent. In going through YT to get various perspectives on St. John of the Cross' Dark Night of the Soul poem.I found it iinteresting that although the title of your video benefits from the reference to the aforementioned poem, religious in origin, you chose (I assume specifically), to leave prayer out of Option #1 in dealing with this condition. Just an observation, I don't follow you to he extent which might allow me to better understand why you chose to do so. I find saying the Rosary as calming as any of the mindfulness meditation methods I have explred.

    Loving Atlantic, Don't worry about it.....If your subconcious can't hear him or concousios, that means nothing, absoutly nothing.
    That means, your hearing words from some kind of Guru, who's happy as shit, and who says we are like him anyway.................................??????????? Have a Great Life......Don't listen to him anyway, I don't even
