"Healing, in the deepest sense, is not a destination or a future goal, but a present-moment welcoming of all the guests of Awareness. Sadness, anger, fear, joy, doubt, loneliness, heartache, these visitors do not want to be healed, they just want to be held; held in the loving arms of the present moment, held in your Heart... which IS the healing. Every thought, every sensation, every feeling, every scary thought, they all just long to be included, integrated, welcomed into the tender restful wholeness that you are..." - Jeff Foster
" The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the reality promised by another. " ~ j krishnamurti
This was incredible. I always wondered when I would finally be healed and fixed, and took myself to be a fixing project. I can finally let go of my year over year plan for healing and just be here...
You may enjoy Amoda Maa. Her main pointing is to open wider until everything is included in gentle presence. The message as dear Jeff.
My life changed when I got really sick. I've realized that one day I'm gonna die. I've became grateful for each day, overcame my bad habits. I do more of what makes me happy and now I feel much more free, and at peace :)
Real life
@Purple It'll come soon enough.
Thank you so much for this video, I had a spiritual awakening 7 years ago, I worked so hard on myself to heal, read every self-development book, and meditated every day for the purpose of healing, now after 7 years I am exhausted by chasing healing and enlightenment, now I understand healing is not a destination. thank you
I’ve listened this about 200 times in the past few years and I have no intention to ever stop. Perfect webcast, thanks Jeff!!
It's such a hilariously tragic misunderstanding of what's going on, this "why are you still here" attitude. If we see that we are not our thoughts, that we do not control our thoughts, that we are not our feelings, that we do not control our feelings, in fact, that there is no we/I/self really except for everything, and that all that arises is already perfect because it is here (only the mind could think something is wrong about what is), then how could we go along with the story of 'this should be different'? I want to say there's arrogance towards life in that, but that isn't quite right either. It's just our conditioned pattern of fixing, striving, manifesting in a new way. This is why it is important to not strive for a state, to learn to observe both the good and the bad, and to notice it all arrive and fall away. We cannot identify with a state, strive for a state, and expect that to bring us everlasting happiness. It is an unrealistic and typical mind pattern. The mind so badly wants something to cling to. But there's nothing to cling too. There's just what is. You can't cling even if you want to, it's just that the attempt will make you unhappy intrinsically. It requires A LOT (I've found) of 'courage' to dare to let go of the mind, to dare to let go of strivings, beliefs. And it remains a kind of challenge, something that requires a certain alertness, that really seems to arise naturally, because of course there isn't a person or individual that could be alert. Something shifts, and courage happens, alertness happens, and the mind slowly erodes, and life becomes easier and easier and more and more beautiful that way. But this can't be reached by chasing beauty. If you chase anything, let it be the intention to be here now.
You don't need to be fixed, just embraced.
Jeff some people are traumatized in colapse and nothing helps until you start to releas the trauma energy. Peter Levine explain this the best way than thousand gurus.
Thankyou Jeff,
"There is no "Yet" was a really helpful take/understanding for me on "There is only NOW. And that NOW is all there ever has been and all there ever will be in our experience. I just this morning listen to another video where the teacher said a similar thing. "You can only get it "NOW" because there will never be a LATER. 🤗🤗
I think the whole 'past and future illusion' is starting to dissolve for me.
Thanks again
🙏🙏
The whole "NOW" is an illusion.
I followed your work a few years ago but didn't completely get it but now I was so ready for it. This offered me a lot of peace after a lot of suffering. Thank you !
The power of actually doing this cannot be understated when crisis hits. I shattered my femur almost ten months ago on a freak bike accident and already having been quite familiar with returning to this moment caused me to stick to the moment throughout the experience. The shock obviously helped at the beginning, but the road to recovery hasn't been a short one. I am only now beginning to be able to take running steps with my leg and I have been able to walk unaided for only a couple of months now and it hasn't been completely pain or discomfort free for that time either. Still this too was all grace, I made a promise to myself the moment I knew what had happened that I wouldn't try to run away from what my now had become. Learning to come back to the moment even when it was unbearable to and holding that has taught me more than anything else in my journey. In the end me breaking the leg and allowing the leg to heal ended up healing more than the leg, knowing and being practiced in true meditation before helped, but this experience showed me the depth of acceptance of the moment. Now the default has grown into watching and holding what is.
Sadness will still be there when you identify with thoughts, believing them to be you. Go within and find out who you
truly are. "The Kingdom of Heaven is Within".
maybe the act of moving towards the good, instead of from the bad, is what "being healed" is. maybe we are already whole/healed; we are already good enough; today is a blessing. we just need to realize it. remind yourself of this often, and your feelings will eventually catch up to it. go have fun, take care of yourself, and love/forgive one another
This is life changing . I have been too struggling with my mind games all the time ,and recently have started getting exhausted thinking that if i will do certain practices i will get rid of all things that drags me down . I have not spend much time in this journey of finding myself but this came at the right time opening all the flood gates. I hope i could get this into deepest part of my being . Just a few months back, i had watched quiet a few of his videos but could not grasp a thing at that time ,may be i was so new to this then but this time i got everything as clear as it can be . Thank u so much that you are here to tell us a side of the story of healing that is so relieving and inspiring . Thank u so very much
I agree. 'awakening', as it's sometimes conceived, feels like a deeply religious belief: follow the path and you will reach heaven. Healing is learning to accept and welcome difficulty and working through it. Life and it's beauty is in the moment. Healing through meditation enables you to live in the moment.
The simple truth of all of this, is that we are here to learn and have experiences. There are lessons for us to learn in this lifetime, in any lifetime, and until we do learn these lessons, we will continue to go through them. Delusion and denial are two human traits that tend to hold us back when trying to progress through our lessons, but its not something to worry about, we are immortal spiritual beings, and there is no time limit to how long it takes for us to learn our lessons. Acceptance and understanding of this will make the path easier, but we still have to experience these lessons regardless, there is no short cut to enlightenment!
Jeff just said, "There is only the present moment." Where are the needed lessons now?
Video of true value. You helped me a lot. thanks!
Blessing
Thank you so much - ego/society promises if we're perfect by someone else's standards - someone else who's wounded & in pain & illusion ... you're so right on target, healing is not a destination, and one-dimensional at that. None of this is linear, and I so appreciate your wisdom. thank you, bless you. it IS exhausting & desperate to chase!
just saw your video when I was lost, I'm continuing to find the find. thanks for your video.
I'm reminded, this present moment you talk about, can't be truly found or experienced. You're expecting the Mind of a Body to experience the Spirit of our being. Understand, that being in the present moment is impossible, everything is life dancing in this forward motion of life... the Mind or Body is the last thing to know what's happening in the present moment!
Yes, what's looking is what your looking for my friend and it's everywhere in everything. The only way for experience to ever happen is understand the opposite effect and that's why everything comes with it's....
Great video. Thank you.
Yes. My symptoms from two injuries can still come back and wham me bc they are linked to my deep core ego patterns of not saying no to that which I don’t want/prefer/desire/am capable of at that moment- of putting others needs over my mine- of caring what others think when I say no/have boundaries. It’s a real process for me and the symptoms come back when I don’t follow my heart/soul- when my ego pushes me to do things when I care what others think when I put others needs above me own etc.
So, I hAve to continually love my symptoms and be grateful and thankful bc they are teachers. And they teach me I must/can enjoy life even with pain even when I make mistakes even when my ego directed my actions even when bad things happen as a result. All the healing work isn’t for anything.. but to teach you to be present in the moment and enjoy life as best you can no matter what. Form is an illusion so focus on your vibration that is preferred and always exists no matter what the form looks like.
Thanx so much Jeff! “Me” really needed to hear this and I Am Eternally grateful NOW!❤
This is so true and this is exactly where I am at the moment. I'm so tired of trying to work out my purpose and in a bout of depression and tiredness, I'm so so frustrated with myself. Thank you Jeff x
The “I” in the I am frustrated with myself is already enlightened. The myself is whom you think you are. The moment you realise that you are “I” the problems of the “myself” dont matter.
^If you understand this, that is basically the gist of enlightenment or whatever we call it.
Thank you for the video jeff. Please make more!
Thank you
This is an incredible feeling... I think I am falling in love with what you are saying 👍💗
Beautiful :) thank you
Thank you so much for these words Jeff! Basically unconditional love and acceptance to everything within and without in every moment. Just like God does.
Thank you !!!! I love the way you explained it. No one has explained meditation this way. In other words , there is no place to “ get to”, surrender into the now and be present to the fact that you are already being held. Love it !
Wow! Thank you! ❤️
Thank you for making it I clear 👍🙏🏻
Inspiration mana increased by x% thank you Jeff!
Thank you!🙏🏻❤️
This brought me to tears..:) Beautiful!! Thank you!!!
Finally! The TRUTH and HONESTY that I have been searching for on my journey of "healing" and "awakening". Out of all the books I have read and studied and all of the videos I have watched and listened to by so-called, self-confessed "gurus" for so many years ....this is a true treasure that I needed all this time! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing
and all the best to you!!
Thank you!✨🌸 Lovely messages👾
Wonderful, thankyou
I love you.
Thank you.
thank you x
Nice talk, your spot on Jeff, did you know you are talking about the basic Zen practice of being. We can't think our way out of a feeling, hurtful feelings have to be felt and allowed to flow through us in the same way as we would allow happy feelings to flow through us, then you are allowing yourself to be whole. The mind blocks hurtful feelings with thoughts and they become emotions, so emotions are blocked and tangled feelings that are created and amplified by the mind that strangle the heart.
Perfectly worded! Well done.
Beautiful, thank you
Brilliant Jeff. Blunt and honest. And yet gentle. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you...
Excellent Video ❣️❣️ Thank You💖
Thank you ❤️
Thats why I love Eckhart Tolle teachings so much-always reminds us to be in the now..great vid!Much love💞
Thanks♥️
Like your style Geoff.I instantly related to your understanding and simple explanation of the "Healed" fantasy waiting for us all at the end of the rainbow.
Jeff, what are you saying here opened my heart. I was asking/feeling the same what you described as the starting point here. It’s where I am / was just a few moments ago. Thank you for broadening my heart and soul.
Thanks Jeff.
Very good video,thank you Jeff. Every seeker should watch this !
This video could be used as a guided meditation. So important I must keep reminding myself of this truth I mustn’t fall back asleep
In my wellness days I feel loving everything surrounding and in my life- that feelings is wonderful and I feel well - it doesn’t last, that is why it is called happiness-
We are slaves of our past and a working in progress- thank you for your wonderful video Jeff
Great topic, well explained. Thanks!
Thank you!!
Your using the phrase "holding field"...THAT hit me...something let out a sigh and said, Yes, this is what I am..."I" am "holding" it all and the capacity is limitless and it is all held, lovingly, now. Thank you Jeff.
Yes! Love it ... similar to Eckhart Tolle teachings ... well done Jeff :)
Thank You. 🌟 🤗 ♥ ~
Thankyou thankyou thankyou this came at the most perfectly time x
Thank you
Thank you dear brother
I write music. It gives me joy when I produce something I am proud of. I get to see Nirvana for a moment then, because I succeeded in my goal. Everything that brings me closer is part of the joy for me.
Thank-you Jeff, excellent, I am about 15 yrs, in on a rather intense investigation, As pertaining to the NOW, I have never come across anybody who has delivered such a conclusive statement regarding the paralysis of mankind over two small words " Still" and "Yet" How many great ideas have been stifled by these words.
Thank-you for sharing look forward to spending more time with you
Namaste
Don
Very very grateful
This message is so important
Yes beautiful suggestion at the end Lets be still for moment
Really new perspective for me. Great video
Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏼 🐨
Because that is what you are choosing. You are having feelings have feelings the more awoken you are you will be able process feelings better through your soul no matter how good or bad they are.became a good verbal extension thank you brutha
Hi Jeff! California ☮️
You were born happy..It's that simple
Fantastic💜💜💜💜💜
yes can hear you loud and clear
Good very true
I tasted the realization of awareness again watching this video. I'm thinking this is going to be the one that sticks, because it is just effortless awareness.
What will it stick to?
I got from the video that the idea that'll stick is part of the image/ideal of a future...Is it still sticking?
THIS TIME WILL SURELY BE THE ONE
One day
dis one day
dis ✋ ✋ here now
🌼 Thank you
Great talk brother
Merci :D
Sounds like a reboot to recognize what you have
I meditate for at least one hour every day. I am pleased with the results, and plan to continue meditating for the remainder of my life. That stated, I agree with the famed ethnobiologist Terence McKenna that the guided use of "magic mushrooms" or DMT is the direct and fail-proof route to "enlightenment".
We are all traumatised.
I find myself waking up and then going back to a story on and off . I cycle through oneness , then back to seperate then back to whole . I feel like I’m a pendulum sometimes
Is it kind of like backing up and seeing that you are the totality of everything . You are the entire experience? I don’t know why” backing up” seems to fit for me
I feel like I had a glimpse for a minute . It was a feeling. Different from speaking about it. Even when I try to describe it it doesn’t say what I was truly experiencing
That was for me poetry 💚 Rumi-esque! Thank you so much Geoff for sharing that perspective. I often wonder if the word/name Allah came from the word allow!? Allow, allow, allow and love 🔥 may peace be with you Brother and with us all 🌠🌈🐉👣💫
But have you just sat and let yourself eat an entire bag of Dorritos and be okay and happy, that is when you've hit true transformation ;)-
😂Hahahahaha
Great comment!
So let's say someone realizes themselves per se. Memory is seen for what it is. A moment of bliss. What then? You become Superman? Then what?
If you turn the question around that button is flattened.
Chasing after peak experiences is no different than running from the lows. Both are distraction.
Proper wisdom

Q: Why are you still here?
A: Because you are blocking me.
Would you please step aside so that I can go my way~~ ^^
Thaks Jeff.
We're not awaken when we believe (attach) to every thought we have without questioning it's validity.

Well, since we are electrical by nature [electrons, nervous system, electromagnetic bio-torus field, quantum vibrating microtubules in the brain, etc.], and that sodium fluoride and hydrofluosilicic acid are neurotoxins - it is understandable that people are "off".
The Lancet Neurology, The Harvard School of Public Health and Dartmouth University [as well as others] state that sodium fluoride and hydrofluosilicic acid are known neurotoxins [neuro]. The toxins interfere with the electrical currents throughout the body.
This doesn't even cover how the neurotoxins interfere with the critical ATP "cellular energy current" in our mitochondria
You had to know spiritual "this one trick!". and "Guru's hate him!" spiritual videos were coming. Haha! Love you humanity, way to human!
🧡🙏🏽🧡🙏🏽🧡
Imam die this as a meditation woooo💟🎹
Ow my goedd so soreyy!!!!!!!!I meant useee
thanks for video...glad you keep comments open, some spiritual CZcams channels close off the comments section. Question: what about when you check in and you sense there is deep long term unmet material in your body/spirit, yet you are not in a place to meet the material because it you are aware it will be too destabilizing? I am in that place right now. I have seen into some deep wounds yet am in last term of graduate school and need to stay focused on finishing school. It is agony because I am tuned into my body/spirit's need for healing and being met, yet I am choosing to stay dissociated right now as I dedicate my focus and energy to finishing school. I am actively prolonging my own suffering! Any thoughts?
