The topic for today is how to stop worrying and start living.
And I put the Hakuna Matata way.
Have you guys seen Lion King?
Have you guys seen the movie Lion King?
If you haven't then watch it because it's a nice movie.
Have you seen Lion King?
Put a yes in the chat.
Yes.
Okay,
Cool.
At least we have one.
Yes,
Okay,
We got a few.
No,
Okay,
Maggie.
Maggie,
Your homework is to watch the Lion King.
Oh,
No.
Caitlin,
Homework to watch the Lion King.
If that's the Caitlin I know,
Then I'm surprised,
But go watch it anyway.
100 times.
Okay,
Great.
So today's topic is about the Hakuna Matata way,
Which means,
What does it mean?
No problem.
It means no problem.
It means no problem.
No worries,
Right?
It means no worries.
Yeah.
So this session is how to stop worrying.
And I've got Mimi here with me.
Mimi,
Miriam,
Whatever.
I don't know.
People call you whatever.
Mimi,
Miriam.
Yeah,
That's fine.
And I've been actually working with her.
She's actually a client of mine.
I've worked with her for how long?
It's almost a year now.
December is a year.
Yeah,
Almost a year.
I've actually been working with her personally one-to-one because I work with people mostly one-to-one.
And I'm just helping people slow their lives down,
Right?
And we can share about Mimi's story in a moment as well.
And we're going to spend today going into how to live a worry-free life.
And that doesn't mean that things aren't challenging and you're not having problems occur.
I mean,
Mimi was just talking about problems that are occurring in our lives,
Challenges and things that are happening.
All of this stuff happens,
Right?
If we're not Buddhist monks that are in a monastery,
There's chances that things are that things might occur in life,
Right?
That could be a bit challenging.
So living a worry-free life doesn't mean you hide away and avoid living and you avoid having aspirations.
It means when those things come up,
You're able to deal with it,
Right?
And you tell me,
Like,
What does it mean to you to Mimi,
A worry-free life?
How would you define it?
Yeah,
It's like,
It's pretty easy,
Actually.
Life is happening.
It's always happening.
It's around us.
We can't control it.
That's number one.
And that's actually the source.
We can't control it.
We can't control it.
And if you know that,
And that's what I actually learned in one year,
Not learned,
But I felt and it's in me now.
It's just me,
Me living life.
Yeah.
Full stop.
Me living life.
I couldn't have said it better.
You know,
Sometimes people have better words than me.
So yeah,
There you go.
Me living life.
Inshallah,
Someone said is another way to say it.
Oh,
Yeah,
That's true.
Oh,
Is that what it means?
Inshallah means worry-free life?
No,
It's not.
If God will,
Isn't it?
Ah,
God willing.
Yeah.
Yeah,
Yeah.
There you go.
God willing.
Yeah.
Nice.
It's a different spiritual way to see it.
Yeah,
Exactly.
Yeah.
Other people have said,
You'd like to hear Mimi's story.
Cool.
We'll go into that in a moment.
Sure.
And here's how I want to run the session.
Before we begin,
I want us to just get comfortable.
Someone once said,
This is like going to a jazz cafe,
Right?
Just listening,
Having a drink,
Chilling out,
Just listening,
Right?
It's like a show.
But it's not about me or Mimi.
It's about you.
The show is about you,
Right?
I don't want to talk about myself,
About talking about myself.
I'm talking about myself to bring people towards their self.
Mimi's going to do the same.
She's going to tell her story.
But when you listen,
Listen in a way where you can listen for yourself.
Like not about,
Oh,
Mimi's so cool or Raj is so cool.
No,
Like that's not relevant.
Rather,
Look at our stories as a thing,
As a possibility for you.
That's how I want you guys to see the session.
Other thing I want to say is use the chat whenever you want.
You know,
When you have something that wants to burst out.
Remember in class,
I always used to want to say things,
But I just didn't because I was too shy and nervous.
I was the kid that knew all the answers that never put his hand up,
Right?
I was like,
Someone put their hand up,
Go on,
Do it.
And then when someone else put their hand up,
Then maybe I'll put my hand up,
Right?
Even if I knew the answer before everyone.
So I want you guys to feel free to just say things in the chat,
Ask me and Mimi questions at any time.
Anytime,
Maybe even write the word question before you do it.
If you want,
That might be helpful.
But just ask us anything,
Share anything,
Because this is for you basically.
So that's that.
Other thing I was going to say was,
Whilst I'm here in Tanzania,
Africa,
I've been seeing a lot of poverty and schools.
We went to a school today,
Actually.
Mimi took me to a school right now where she's staying.
She's been living here for,
She's been in the country for like 10 years,
Right?
On and off.
Since I'm a baby,
Actually.
Okay,
Fine,
Longer than that.
So she knows the country.
So she took me to a school and I just saw these kids who are,
There's like 50 of them,
50 or at least 50,
Right?
At least 50 in her classroom.
At least 50 in one classroom.
And they were just running around and talking to us and like being energetic.
And it blew my mind because I'm used to seeing something different,
Let's just say.
So what I decided to do was,
Before I even went to the school,
I decided,
Any donations that are made in this session,
Any donations that are made in this session,
I'm going to just give back to the school or some kind of purpose that Mimi's supporting,
Basically.
And she'll tell you more about what she does in a moment.
But anytime someone donates,
If you donate anything in this session,
It's not like to push,
I'm not really pushing it.
But if you feel a sense of like,
I want to donate,
I want to be part of this thing that Raj is doing out in Tanzania and Mimi's doing in Tanzania,
Just send whatever donation feels good for you,
Whatever's collected as a whole.
I'll just send that straight to Mimi.
I'll add my own donation as well on top of that.
And then that's going to go to a school.
And Mimi's going to tell you the cost of things out here as well.
I want you to share that with people,
Like how much do things cost and how much do people earn stuff?
And not in a way,
Because I've seen people talk about charity stuff,
Not in a way to make us feel bad,
Right?
To say,
Oh,
Like it's all bad and let's feel guilty.
I don't want guilt,
Right?
It's more of like inspiration of,
Oh,
Wow,
Your money can do something huge out here.
So that's my invitation.
No pressure.
If at any point you want to donate,
I'll collect it and I'll be like,
Whoa,
This is how much we got from this session.
Wow.
Let's like $100,
Whatever,
That's going to create this for this community.
Anyway,
That's enough of that.
People are already donating.
How cool is that?
Thank you,
Guys.
Wow.
Wow,
You've already donated and I haven't even said much yet.
So maybe after I say something,
If you get an insight,
Even,
That's what I might say.
If you get an insight,
Something clicks and you feel like coming to this session was useful,
You know,
Like if you go and,
I don't know,
You go to an event and you pay for an event entry or whatever,
If you feel like you got something from this event,
Just hit donate if you want to,
Right?
If you're that kind of person that wants to do that,
Right?
No pressure.
Anyway,
I'm going to quickly look at the comments and then I'm going to hand over to Mimi to talk about a few things,
That story,
And then a bit of like,
What can money do out here?
Right.
I think I'm sure that blew my mind.
So we'll talk about that.
And we'll weave into the whole thing,
How we can worry less and how are people worrying less out here?
Right.
Yeah.
So thanks for sharing,
Everyone.
Where in Tanzania are you?
We're in Mtuara.
Mtuara,
Yeah,
The south,
The very south.
South of Tanzania.
That's where we are.
We're 50 kilometers far away from Mozambique.
Ah,
Yes.
At the coast.
Close to the coast,
Yeah.
Yes.
I'm visiting here for now,
For close to a month I'm in Tanzania,
Basically.
Wow,
Yeah,
That's true.
Close to a month,
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah,
Yeah.
Wow,
There's a bunch of donations.
Okay,
Cool.
Thanks,
Guys.
I'll shout out when you donate and I appreciate it.
Okay,
First,
Let's just introduce you.
Let's tell everyone who you are.
What do you do out here?
Give us like a summary.
Okay.
I try to make it short.
Yeah,
Make it no pressure.
It's like,
It's that big,
But yeah.
So yeah,
My name is Mimi or Miriam.
I'm from Germany.
I said my name in English,
Birian in German.
Yes.
So I'm coming from Germany.
You can tell maybe by my accent.
And I'm 31 and I grown up with Tanzania.
My parents,
They do have a health organization since more than 30 years here in the south of Germany.
So I just know to go here and to live the lifestyle.
And yeah,
My parents,
They donated or they looked for donators in Germany to build like schools,
Kindergarten with the missionaries.
So like I said,
This lifestyle,
This country,
Life over here was kind of normal or is kind of normal for me.
So in Germany,
I was working with disabled kids or grownups and in the kindergarten or even in a home for disabled kids.
So a year ago,
No,
10 years ago,
I was always questioning myself.
There has to be more.
And this more,
The word more,
It's just like it's coming and going and coming and going,
Trying to make it figured out because I was so unsatisfied the last 10 years.
But why?
Like I do have everything.
I live in Germany.
I have a great job.
I'm having an apartment,
A nice car.
I can travel.
I have a lot of money,
Saying,
Because I can compare it to this country over here.
If we're going to go by the income,
The income here in Tanzania is one euro a day.
So now we have to think one euro.
What are you doing with one euro a day?
And I was still unsatisfied.
Guilt happening.
So what should I do?
But I want to live.
I want to have more of my life.
So a year ago,
I decided I had a lot of dreams,
A lot of visions to make those come true.
And one was just like to help with my hands.
10 years ago,
I was already living here in Tanzania as a voluntary,
Working in a kindergarten.
And there I saw I want to help.
I just want to do something.
But how?
And yeah,
One of those visions last year was to create an NGO to build a school for disabled kids,
An inclusive school,
Actually.
So for disabled and not disabled kids.
And it was an idea last year.
And we found it in January.
And now we are up to building it.
And Raj was there yesterday to see the plot and to see everything.
So that's just a short summary of like 10 years into a very short distance.
So,
Yeah,
That's actually my story.
But in between,
There happened a lot.
And if I say in between,
We're going to go for the last 12 months.
Yeah,
Like everything just shifted from the way of being a typical German.
Being a leader of a home of disabled kids,
Like super,
Super motivated and professional,
Structured,
Analytical,
Rational,
Had a sense of,
OK,
Feeling loving.
And yeah,
That was me for the longest.
And yeah,
Still unsatisfied,
Going to the place of I can make my dream,
My wish,
My life,
My more come true.
And here I'm sitting.
Here you go.
Here you are.
Yeah,
Here you are.
And here you are after all of that stuff.
It feels like I always try to tell people when they think that their life or they have like regrets of I wish I could have done this when I was younger or I wish it could have been this way because this could have happened.
We say like the firstly,
There's nothing we can do about the past.
And I guess everyone knows that.
To some level,
But to take it to the next level is to say your past has created who you are right now.
Your past has created exactly who you are.
Everything that's happened has brought you up to this point to tell you this is the next step.
And I think that's what you've done over the year is step into what have I learned through these challenging experiences in life,
Through these lives,
Through this stuff of like,
You know,
The topic today is worry and stuff like that.
Living through a worried life,
Analytical.
And when you see that,
Yeah,
Not being a victim.
Yeah.
When you see that,
That's what you've been doing.
You have a chance to see it differently,
Right?
To say,
Okay,
This is what I've been doing and everything has led me towards this.
It's been perfect.
Nothing's been wrong about what I've done.
Nothing's ever been wrong.
All that there is,
Is an opportunity for me to see now I could be different when we open ourselves up to it could be different.
You know,
That,
That frame of worry going from analytical to creative happens,
You know,
The other side of our brain,
Creativity.
So tell everyone how,
Like,
How do they stop worrying?
How did they,
I want you to answer this first.
How do people stop worrying?
And then I'll answer that.
I'll let you go first.
How do people stop,
Stop getting into a worried state?
And like I said,
It doesn't mean things aren't going wrong and things aren't challenging,
But how do you get yourself out of a worried,
Worried,
Like state?
Yeah.
I think I have to tell one,
One thing first,
Like there was already the question,
Do you ask your students what they want?
Because I want to start with that.
Yes.
He did even ask me.
So I was saying,
I want to love someone,
Like I was looking for love,
But actually it wasn't like looking for love of someone.
It was my love.
I never had access to my love,
My love,
My love I give to someone.
So that's the first thing.
So Raj was guiding me to my heart and he opened up my heart and then there was me.
And then there could feel everything.
And I could be myself and authentic.
So actually that was the first step of not being worrying because of myself.
So why should I get worried of like me and myself out there in the life?
And like I said at the beginning,
Life is happening.
It's happening.
It's challenging.
Of course it's not,
It's not like love and bliss and everything around,
But you are love and bliss all of the time,
Life around you is different,
Of course,
But you can be yourself loving and blissfully and just like you are.
So I think that's the answer for not being worrying because it's mind created.
It's your mind creating all of those things,
Might coming from past,
Might going into future because you're trying to control life.
I can't,
And I tried it the longest I tried it.
And I was like,
I thought by analyzing people,
I can do it in perfection.
And obviously it didn't work.
Like there was just the mind and a connection out of mind,
But never a heart connection.
I never laughed.
Like I never allowed myself to laugh.
And there you just like,
You're not,
Life is not happening.
It's just like feeling numb and sleepy,
But not aware.
But when someone dies,
Heidi,
That's life.
Life is happening,
But you're still loving and whoever dies,
You're still loving.
Like love is not gone.
It just came.
So I know it's pain,
It's creating,
It's coming together.
It's your love.
So you are life,
You're living.
Yeah,
The thing is,
You know,
Let's go with the example of if someone dies,
It's happening,
Right?
It's just happening.
It's like when everything dies.
And I can even go to the extent to say,
There's a plant that's growing and dying.
There's an apple that falls from a tree after it's gone through the process of growing,
Right?
Fall from the tree.
And it'll get eaten,
It's going through the process that's happening,
Right?
The day,
Even our breath,
In-breath and out-breath is a representation of dying.
We're allowing it to happen.
If I was holding my breath,
It probably wouldn't be fun,
Right?
We're letting it happen.
So when someone dies,
When things happen like this,
What can you do though?
Like worry is the thing of,
I must control,
I must be a certain way.
I have to be a certain way.
I have to do something about this from an analytical perspective,
Right?
Whereas someone's dying,
It doesn't feel nice.
And it's not like to say to be cold-hearted,
To feel nothing.
Oh yeah,
It's just death.
It's not like this whole bypassing it.
To say,
Oh yeah,
Life is a cycle.
Oh,
It's just like a plant,
Like the examples I use,
I'm not trying to say it means nothing.
Of course,
When someone dies,
We don't like it,
It doesn't feel nice.
But the allowance,
That letting it happen,
Letting yourself feel stuff,
That's when you get out of worry and stress.
Because worry and stress is mind racing.
Whereas feeling stuff,
Allowing yourself to feel sad or energy or whatever,
It's just happening as well.
Naturally,
Just like how the person's dying,
Naturally you're feeling sad and you're allowing it to happen.
Instead of like,
I've got to block or,
Oh,
I could have done this when they were alive.
Could have done this when they were alive.
That's the other part of it.
If that's coming up,
Then even you asking the question,
Even me thinking about someone in my life dying,
I can use that as motivation to say,
Well,
Yeah,
I don't want to have to live with regrets if they do die,
I don't want to get to that situation where if someone dies in my life,
I haven't really said something to them that I wish I said.
So it's all about allowing what wants to come through to come out.
And worry is stress response,
Is thinking,
Is trying to make things,
Makes things a certain way.
You know,
Where a lot of the time we realize we're not in control of that.
Nothing we can do.
That's been so freeing for me.
That's been my journey.
My journey has been a journey of letting go.
If you haven't heard some of my story,
It's been this life of living in fight or flight,
Living in worry,
Actually.
Worry that someone will see me for who I am.
Worry for like,
I'll look weak.
I'll be like,
I'll be like,
I'll be like,
I'll be like,
I'll be like,
I'll be like,
I'll look bad.
If this happens,
This means this.
Worry is a consequence program.
Worry is a program that speaks of consequences happening.
If this happens,
If this happens,
I must do this to prevent this.
It's a danger response safety system,
Trying to avoid anything painful happening.
Whereas,
You know,
Like worry hurts for a reason.
It's like things that hurt,
Hurt for a reason because it's a sign that this isn't what naturally is what you need.
Like,
It's like if I was trying to eat the table right now,
If I was going to grab this piece of wood and try eating it,
It doesn't feel natural.
Just like worry.
Worry is the same.
It doesn't feel natural.
Just like if I was trying to eat this,
That's why it doesn't feel good,
Right?
What feels natural is to cry sometimes.
What feels natural,
I'll cry,
Mimi cries.
We're talking about crying sometimes.
That's natural.
Anything to add?
I went on a little rant there,
You know,
I get into a zone.
That was now the part of saying me.
I don't have anything to say more.
No,
It was beautifully said.
Yeah.
Actually.
At the end,
It's like the easiest thing to say is like your mind creates all of it.
And that's the part like asking what is true,
What is really true.
Then the worrying is like,
Sort it out,
Like whatever is in your mind happening,
Sort it out.
Sort it out.
Yeah,
I love that.
Sort it out.
I love that because it's like sometimes we'll have ideas or we'll want to do stuff or we worry that this might happen and we're holding back on who we really are.
We're holding back on our potential.
So we're worrying about it.
We're judging ourselves.
Whereas if you just say,
I'm going to sort it out.
I'm just going to deal with this,
You know,
Deal with it.
And it's OK.
Just it's OK.
Like we're using this word.
It's OK.
Quite often.
Yeah,
But it's true.
Like that it's OK.
If you just know it's OK,
It's OK.
Yeah.
And we said it like not knowing by mind,
Just feel it.
It's fine.
Yeah,
It's OK.
Yeah.
And it's like we will search.
And when I say we,
I'm talking about me,
Me,
Me.
I'm talking about all of us as a whole.
Right.
Not like I'm looking at you.
All of us will search for things to make us feel OK.
Right.
Like,
I don't know,
Alcohol,
Drugs or even things that seem like they're healthy,
Like constantly exercising was the thing for me.
Over exercising because it was like that's the thing that will help me feel released and feel OK.
It's looking for things to feel OK.
But if you know,
I genuinely,
You know,
Right now here in the present moment,
I am OK.
I'm OK.
Worry is the is the it comes up when we feel like we're not OK.
If you can realize you're OK.
Are you OK?
Actually,
Ask yourself that right now.
Am I OK?
And just saying by right now,
Not by the morning and that happening yesterday or the week before or whatever is coming in your mind by the question,
You're feeling OK.
Like this is happening.
It's just going to go like past,
Not by the present right now.
Like the moment you're listening to us right now.
Are you OK?
That's it,
Because it's the present moment.
It's not about the past and it's not about whatever is happening tomorrow at work for you.
And maybe you have a presentation or maybe there is something hard going on in your life.
It's about right now.
I'm saying those words and Raj is saying those words.
Are you OK?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you OK right now?
Because it's funny you said that and I was wondering what you meant when you said like past or future.
And now I get what you mean,
Because it's like someone can say I'm not OK and then you can ask them,
Why am I not OK?
Why are you not OK?
And they'll give a reason.
But the reason will not be related to now.
The reason will be I'm not OK because this thing's coming up or I'm not OK because this thing has always been a challenge.
Right now,
In this present moment,
You sitting here,
You holding your phone,
You just watching us.
Are you OK?
Are you OK?
Ask yourself the question and feel free to share in the chat what comes up for you when we ask you this question.
What comes up?
Do you feel a release?
Do you feel more tension?
When you when we ask you,
Are you OK?
What comes up for you?
Put it in the chat.
Love to see everyone's like how it how it works inside you when we ask you that sharing helps me feel more OK.
Exactly.
When we realize that it's not just us as well.
That's why I always encourage sharing,
Because it's like there's this stuff in your head and you think,
Oh,
Well,
I have this problem.
The other people probably don't have this.
When we share it and put it in the chat,
You know,
You'll see someone say something and then you'll say,
Oh,
Oh,
Me,
Too.
Me,
Too.
I feel that way,
Too.
It's OK.
I'm OK.
They're OK.
Everyone's OK.
Right.
If you have like even,
You know,
You're not alone.
I think that's something as well.
I had it also for a very long time feeling the guilt of like why I'm not satisfied with my life.
And I do have everything.
So and if you're if you just open up once to someone and you've got the same reaction,
It's like,
Wow,
OK,
There's someone else out there.
Feeling living and the same like you.
And then there is like more insights coming up just by sharing.
That's powerful.
Yeah,
Exactly.
There's a lot of hearts floating in right there.
Everyone's clicking the heart.
So it's a good sign.
Yeah,
I love the hearts,
Too.
I wish I knew who sent all of the hearts,
But it could be just be one person clicking it constantly.
But I don't know.
Let's see.
It might be all of you at once.
Yeah,
We're getting the hearts.
Like I'm feeling them.
I'm feeling either way,
We're feeling them.
So I appreciate everyone sharing,
Everyone talking and getting involved in the session.
Right,
Because this is not about me or me.
I've said that before.
It's about the human experience that everyone feels,
Right?
Every human.
I'm just going to quickly look in the chat and see what people said.
Someone said above.
Someone said,
Don't attach to worry.
Attachment is the issue.
Huh?
Attachment is the issue.
What do you have to say about that?
Sometimes you're like you get conditioned by the feeling of getting worried.
That's what I'm feeling with that.
Like if you're just used to worry the whole time,
You're like conditioned going there the whole time.
It's pretty hard to not worry because that's your state of being and state of being.
Because you don't know it being relaxed and being chilled and calm.
You don't know it.
Yeah.
So like you need to have like this,
This push of feeling worried because otherwise it can't be okay.
It has,
There has to be something at one point people are into this.
And I had it for a time,
Like being a perfectionist at work.
So you're worrying something is going wrong.
So you're looking for where is,
Where is something going wrong?
And that's the pressure you're putting on yourself.
That's what I'm feeling for it.
Maybe I'm wrong by like the attachment,
But it's like the attachment I had for myself.
Like I was conditioned into it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Attached to the,
To the idea that this is how you should be.
Right.
Yeah.
And that being released is not an option.
It's like,
And the other thing is,
And I'm not going to get too into this because people will latch onto this so quickly.
The other thing is our parents,
Right.
You know,
Everyone knows this one.
I think my mom is watching.
Yeah,
Everyone knows this one.
Like we will model our parents.
We'll look at them and then we'll say,
This is how we should be.
Or we'll look at someone that we brought,
We were brought up with whoever that is right.
Our upbringing.
And then we get these patterns of this is how I should be.
My parents worry.
And I'm also a worrier.
It's the same for me.
My,
My,
My family is generally quite a worrying family.
There'll be like caution based about a lot of things.
But the thing is there's something beyond psychology,
Right?
Psychology is the thing we inherit through our beliefs and actions and past.
Most people get stuck in that psychological realm.
And you,
You know,
You've,
You've talked about this as well.
The psychological realm is where you can get stuck in analysis.
Oh,
Carl Jung says,
This is the model of humans.
So this is how I,
This is the truth.
All humans are this,
All humans are that.
All of these psychological ideas that ego attaches onto it.
Cause it feels nice to say,
Oh yeah,
My parents are like,
Ah,
Okay.
Because of them,
I'm this,
Ah,
I'm stuck.
Okay.
I'm stuck.
Or I have a fixed personality type because of this.
You'll get all of this information and use it.
I did the same.
I did exactly the same.
But then I realized there's something beyond psychology.
Psychology creates worry.
There's something beyond psychology,
Which is presence.
You can call it spirit consciousness,
Whatever else,
Right?
I've realized that's what takes me out of worry.
When I am beyond this concept of Raj,
This self,
When I'm beyond the patterns that Raj has gathered up through his life of living with social anxiety,
The character actually is the character,
The character of Raj from a movie.
You know,
If a director was creating this character of Raj,
You'd say Raj is a shy person.
He can't speak.
He,
Um,
He was bullied when he was younger.
He was,
Uh,
He didn't really have much confidence.
So this is Raj's character through his whole life.
He's going to be this way.
He's going to be in fight or flight mode his whole life.
I lived that way most of my life,
Actually.
And I realized that's,
That's not who I am.
I'm not that character or the psychology.
I'm something else.
And it doesn't have to be this whole spiritual complicated thing that you hear about.
It's just simply,
You're just something that is,
That doesn't have a definition.
It doesn't need a definition.
It's this thing,
This warm,
Fuzzy feeling that you feel inside.
When you're with a cat,
For example,
I don't know why I thought of that example,
But you're with a cat and you're just touching the cat.
Where,
Where are you in that point?
Right?
You're just enjoying how cute the cat is.
Or I use the baby example a lot with my clients.
I'm like,
Ah,
You think you're stressed and worried.
You think,
Oh,
Everything's going wrong.
What if I threw a newborn baby in front of your face?
A little cute newborn baby with bright blue eyes.
Where's your worry now?
Are you a worried person?
Is that who you are?
Or are you this feeling that you're getting when you're looking at this newborn baby?
What,
What is that then?
Who is that?
Right.
And when you realize that's who you are,
You're free.
Well said.
Yeah.
Add to that.
Tell me what comes up for you.
I'm starting with the point being analytical because I studied psychology.
That's my background,
Like,
Um,
Um,
Creative educator in Germany.
Um,
I studied three years psychology and I was 20.
So what I did up on displays,
I analyzed everyone on Sigmund Freud and Mahler and how they all called Erickson.
So everyone who was around me,
Not even my clients,
Um,
Like the disabled,
I was,
I was caring for,
I was working with,
Um,
I did it with everyone.
So I was labeling just on con no,
Not unconscious.
It was conscious actually,
Because I had to get a name for everything.
I had to,
There we go again with controlling,
Because I thought if I gonna like,
I can analyze them and I can put them in the box of,
Oh,
This is X,
Y,
Z,
This is type X,
Y,
What?
Um,
I know whom I'm talking to and I'm getting like,
I can control them,
You know,
And feeling more secured.
Um,
But what is not happening is like,
You're not getting any connection.
You're not having never the feeling of law cause you're controlling,
Uh,
Like a human in front,
Not controlling a human,
But like the way of being,
That's what I'm getting.
And what it makes it worse.
It's just like,
Your mind is creating all of those patterns around those persons.
I'll be careful of this,
Be careful of that,
Like all these signals.
And,
Um,
I tell you like dating,
That was a hard one for me because I was labeling everyone.
Um,
And I thought like those guys,
Like they have to prove me cause out of experience,
I got hurt.
And I think everyone got hurt somehow into,
In this part.
And I thought like those,
Those,
They have to show me what it means to fall in love.
Cause they have to prove me right.
Cause I have like these boxes where I'll put them in.
So they had to prove me.
And again,
It's just like coming from us being our self and it's just like love and itself,
Like being itself in the heart,
No mind,
No ego.
And obviously I,
I,
I was into ego the whole time because that gave me secureness,
But it didn't give me any love.
It didn't give me anything else.
So a lot of worries around that,
Like controlling,
And I'm going into like the stating thing shortly,
And maybe there are some ladies listening,
But if you're just like chatting with someone and like,
You have all of those things in your mind,
Like,
Oh no,
You have to wait until you take spec.
I'm sorry.
I have to go there.
You have to wait until you take spec because like,
This is like you're controlling already a connection to someone,
To a human.
But it feels so heavy.
And it's just like a small example of like,
You're,
You're all day life and it's getting into all of those things,
Worrying,
Another worry,
Another worry.
And it's like topping up.
Yes.
Instead of like,
Let life be and just like be yourself.
That's it.
Yeah.
That's a nice example.
Yeah,
Yeah,
Yeah.
No,
Great.
And I,
I,
I want everyone to know that they don't need anything.
I said this to one of my clients earlier.
I was like,
You know,
You don't need this thing that you think you need.
And she's like,
She,
Her brain froze and she's like,
Oh,
You're right.
I don't need it.
We don't need anything,
You know?
And that doesn't mean don't have aspirations.
Don't get into relationships.
That doesn't mean like get into this monk mode where you close everything off and renounce.
It means you just don't need it.
You can create a business.
You can travel the world.
You can get into relationships,
But you just don't need any of it.
It's not going to give you satisfaction to the heart spirit level.
Right?
That is the outside world is,
Is,
Is not the inside world,
Right?
Inside is a different thing.
So we don't need anything.
It's just seeing that when you see you don't need anything,
There's no worries.
Because the worries are,
You know,
We said this earlier,
Right?
Worry is like a reflection of,
Um,
I'm going to lose something.
Worry is like,
I might lose something.
Worry means I'm,
I'm,
I got something to lose.
If this doesn't happen,
I'll lose out.
I'll lose out on,
Uh,
On,
Uh,
Being proud of myself.
I'll lose out by letting people down.
I'll lose out on something.
Is this fear that I'm losing something,
But there's nothing to lose.
Literally nothing to lose.
And you might say,
Well,
Yeah,
Raj,
But what about my career,
My money and stuff?
I can lose that.
You can,
But I'm saying you won't,
You can't lose the thing that's inside the heart,
The spirit.
You can't lose that.
There's nothing to lose.
But ego,
The only thing that you can lose is ego and ego doesn't want you to lose ego.
That's how it works.
It doesn't want you to lose itself.
It's holding on.
That's why it's there.
That's so true.
Yeah.
Anyway,
Let me ask everyone,
Do you have any questions for me and Mimi?
We've been talking for a while.
Um,
Ask anything in chat,
Put questions in the chat.
Tell us what you want to hear more about,
About worry and how to start living fully.
Is there something that you really want to do in life?
Um,
Is there something you really want to do in life that you're worried about that might not happen?
Or there's a challenge,
Might be a risk like leaving a job or some transition you might be going through.
Tell us about it.
Tell us what your worries are,
What you have coming up.
How do you want to live?
Put it in the chat and just ask anything because I'm sure we've both gone through some of these experiences of wanting to live a different way,
But being worried that,
Ah,
What if,
What if this happens?
What if,
What if?
So put it in the chat,
Guys.
I'd love to hear your questions.
Mimi would love to hear your questions and we can both answer each.
We'll both try and answer your question,
Maybe in different ways.
And that'll be a fun game for us to play.
Somehow,
Yeah.
It's interesting to do.
To see what we both say.
We might have different opinions.
So if you,
Even if you just want to see our different opinions,
Ask us anything.
Maybe what is your more?
I'm just like questioning because that's my word I'm using always in the round.
What is your more?
What is your more in life?
But it's somehow,
Of course,
Like,
What do you want?
Great.
What is your dream?
Vision?
But yeah,
More.
Yeah.
Mimi uses the word,
What is your more?
Yeah.
What do you want in life?
You know,
Because there's always something.
There's always a little something of I want to have better relationships with family.
That was one of my,
I want to be able to be more free in my mind and be like creative.
Or I want to have a new job.
You know,
You hate your job.
Well,
Do you want a new job?
Maybe that's your more,
Right?
So put any of those in the chat and we'll both just talk about it and see if we can help you.
And also Mimi is going to tell you how much things cost out here as well.
So thanks for donating guys.
Whoever's donated so far.
If you joined a bit late and you haven't seen what we were talking about,
We're in Tanzania.
Mimi is,
She lives here and she's been living here for a while.
And I went to a school today and I realized how much a donation can change someone's life.
So this session is for that purpose.
So any donations you make is going to go to a good cause.
Like literally I'm going to hand them the cash myself and I'm going to donate myself.
So whatever you guys donate,
If you feel like it's something you want to help with,
The education system out here is not very good.
There's like 50 kids in a classroom.
They're not really getting much help.
There's people with disabilities being like judged.
And I don't even know that how to even describe it,
But not taken care of,
Let's just say.
So whatever donations you can make,
I'm going to literally hand that to the right people.
And then we can see what that can do.
So appreciate that guys and everyone who's donated so far.
I appreciate that.
I'm already saying thank you.
Yeah,
Nice.
Cool.
So let's go to the questions.
And after that,
Mimi will tell us like a little bit more about prices and life in Africa and stuff like that.
Okay.
So let's start with Justina.
What's up Justina?
Justina said,
Should love be the guide to make key decisions?
Should love be the guide to make key decisions?
Huh.
I want you to go for that one first and then I'll do the next one.
And then I'll do next.
I think you might be a better one to start with.
It's like,
I think I just have to question you,
What you mean with love?
That's the first coming up.
Love,
I just have to tell it like what I'm saying with love is like,
Love is me.
Love is my intuition.
Love is my spirit.
That's me.
That's my inner source.
That's life source.
Life force.
That's love.
That's this feeling inside you.
That's just the pure,
The shining in you.
That's you.
So that's my guidance.
That's me.
I never knew.
And now it's getting somehow weird in saying that there's a difference between mind and heart.
There is a difference between whatever is going on up there and whatever you're feeling by intuition.
And I think a lot of people heard it like the intuition,
Like you decided something by intuition.
And that's actually your first knowing before mind is hitting in and telling you something else,
Because out of experience,
You're just going to go differently.
Oh,
No,
I should wait.
There was something like a year ago.
I decided like this and that I shouldn't go with the same decision yet because or I should go with the same decision.
That's mind.
So whatever you're feeling and that's the thing of like we are living in a very fast life.
It's like just like settling and slowing down and being by yourself and feeling yourself.
And then you can do a decision.
And sometimes it's not the right one.
But what is right and wrong?
I'm going to ask you then because for whatever it was,
It was there.
So I think that's going to be my answer of it.
It was pure you then that was your decision and mind can beat you up.
Yes,
Of course.
But you can feel like it was your decision.
This is coming up for me.
Wow.
So should love be used to make key decisions?
What you're saying is you're actually saying you just know when to make a decision,
Right?
You'll just know you'll get some sense.
Yeah,
Definitely.
Like what?
It's like someone wrote in their love versus fear,
I think someone wrote something like that.
Yeah,
Love or fear.
You know what I what I experienced as love and it's it might be different to Mimi because I didn't I don't even know what love was.
I didn't feel anything for anyone,
You know,
And I was almost numb.
I didn't feel anything for anyone.
And now what I realize is that love is light.
It's just light.
You know,
If you think about it as being light,
Something that fills you with like wisdom and knowing and energy,
You know,
I see love as light,
Whereas fear is the thing that that is not light.
Basically,
It's just the not light fear is like there's no energy driving this.
It's a fearful energy is literally I have to be I have to crumble into a ball.
I'm curling myself into a ball and then looking like this.
Oh,
Is someone coming?
Someone going to is something bad going to happen?
It's like literally that and there's this there's such a subtle level of us operating in that way.
Even it comes up for me sometimes I'll notice am I operating in this way or is there any fear driving my decision right now?
And it's always every time is fear driving the decision.
It feels racy.
It feels tense.
It feels like I'm under pressure and I and something could go wrong.
This sense of doom,
Right?
So if my decisions are made from that place just to feel comfortable and safe.
There's nothing wrong with it,
By the way,
But I got to question it.
I've got to say,
Huh,
You're acting to feel comfortable.
You're doing something to avoid danger versus you're doing something to that's leading you with light.
There's a good energy leading you.
So I think making key decisions is like,
What are you not?
What are you going to regret?
Basically,
Like,
Because you'll know if I'm deciding something and not really doing the thing I really want to do because I'm scared,
Then you've given in to fear as crushing your light,
You know,
And you'll know it doesn't feel nice.
Just doesn't like I said about eating the wood.
If I'm going to eat this piece of wood,
It doesn't feel nice.
Naturally,
This is all a natural thing,
Right?
When I eat bananas and fruits and feel nourished,
It feels good.
So using your that's the same thing when I'm talking about love and light,
Using that to make decisions,
This natural sense that feels natural.
Oh,
This this is what I really want to do.
You know,
Instead of like doing something that feels unnatural.
So that's that's my answer.
It's like love is light.
It doesn't have to be a romantic thing.
You know,
It's not love is not romance.
The thing that drives the romance is the same light.
You see a person and you're like,
I feel light inside.
Same thing.
So I hope that answered your question.
I don't even know who that was.
And if did that spark any insights in anyone else,
Anything we're saying at any point in the chat,
And if I'm answering someone else's questions and it hits you,
Just share in the chat,
Because it's great for us to know that these things are useful.
Sometimes when there's no nothing going on in the chat,
I'm like,
Huh,
What's going on?
Is it useful?
Sometimes I even think I've frozen on the chat on the whole video because no one's speaking.
So I always love you guys to put things in the comments just to get the feedback.
So I appreciate it.
And I have to say a year ago,
I was like,
I think in October last year,
I was on the first session inside time a session with you sitting there like,
What is he talking about?
Yeah.
Like,
There's a difference.
Like,
I was completely I didn't know anything.
What I'm saying now,
Like all of whatever I'm saying the last 54 minutes,
I was I had no clue about it.
Like,
I couldn't feel about it.
Even the love.
You said it like the numbness.
I had it as well.
Like,
I was sitting there and felt so empty.
And throughout the year by guiding you,
Like guiding you,
You guided me the other way around.
The guidance,
It guided me to myself.
And this is just like where also the worry was gone for me because I'm working with you.
Obviously,
Like without the guidance,
I do not know like all of those all of the things going on ego,
Mind,
Heart.
But if you feel yourself first,
First time to slide,
You explained and you know,
You're there.
And that's actually it was by entering by guiding from your side.
Yeah,
I have to say.
Yeah,
It's actually funny of you to say that because you were literally one of the attendees that were coming to the session like this,
Right?
Like any of these any of you guys here,
Me was just a random person that didn't really that didn't know me at all,
Actually.
And she just came to one of my sessions a year ago.
And then we just started chatting.
She sent me a message,
I think saying something about I like I like your sessions.
We just started talking.
And then here we are now a year later,
We started working together for a few months first,
And then we committed to work together for the rest of the year.
And then now she's here and you know,
Like,
I want to make this a real example.
Because everything she's saying,
She's not some person who was born like this.
Who was like,
Oh,
Mimi so cool.
Raj is so cool.
They're so spiritual and so wise.
No,
I don't want it to look like that.
Because that's not it's not like we're just we're here and we were born like this.
She went through a process for the whole year.
Before this,
She was stuck in ego and all these things we were talking together about stuck in all these challenges and I was too.
Right.
So if you guys are on this call and you think,
Oh,
Yeah,
Like these guys are just talking all this stuff.
I can't get there.
That's not true.
Because it's whoever you are,
This is there's something that can and you know,
Someone just said it takes a lot of work.
It does.
It takes a lot of work.
Yes,
You say it does.
But then I'm instantly like,
Maybe not,
You know,
And I say that.
Okay.
Okay,
You want to say something?
I'll go first.
Yeah,
I was gonna say,
It does take a lot of work because there has been a lot of work we've done like books,
Sessions.
I wanted to say thank you.
Yeah,
You could talk about it in a moment.
But what I mean is when I hear people say it takes a lot of work,
I really don't want anyone to be discouraged.
You know,
Like I hear words like,
It's gonna take me a lifetime before I get calm.
And then you hear all these traditional people saying,
Yeah,
You need six years of meditation before you get to this place where you'll be calm.
And you hear the Zen Buddhism saying,
Yeah,
You need 20 years of staring at a wall with your eyes open,
Zen style meditation,
Then you'll be calm.
Then you'll hear like,
Indian gurus saying you need this kind of,
You know,
It's fine because I'm Indian,
But I can say it.
They'll say,
It takes you this long and this style,
You know,
But if you do the lot of work,
Like you're saying,
Yeah,
Like you said,
It gets you into peace quickly.
Just like you said,
Yeah.
Like,
Yeah,
The work part is the work part of,
Okay,
You're not watching Netflix in the evening and you're chilling around and do not know what you do at the weekend or whatever.
It takes like,
But this is just coming by itself and by your inner intrinsic or intrinsic motivation,
You're just gonna lay there and you're gonna start reading because first,
The first time in your life,
It's just like,
Boom,
Everything is just like making sense and things are falling apart and it doesn't matter with what,
It's just like,
If you're just getting a sense of it,
Like being yourself and you can take off this masquerade and you can just like relax and being yourself and then you're starting to fill yourself up with knowledge from the outside.
Yeah,
You can say it's work and it's different.
Yes,
I had a routine.
I woke up at 4.
30 in the morning having this routine.
You can say it's work,
But for me,
It was the perfect routine in Germany when I was living there.
I did my meditation stuff from the outside,
Work from the inside.
It was growth.
Yeah,
That's it.
And yeah,
I think that's,
It's worthy,
Whatever it is.
And once you feel like this intrinsic,
Like you're starting to run,
Like you were on your knees and nothing happened.
You didn't move for a very long time and you felt so heavy and strong and couldn't breathe.
Like there's so much pressure on your chest.
Like that was how I felt for the longest.
Like so much pressure is here on me and it's not a life I wanted to live.
I'm going crazy,
But I just have to say it.
Like I always thought there has to be more.
Like I don't want to live like that.
And it feels so heavy.
And firstly,
Like from kneeling on the ground,
You're starting to wow,
Something is moving and you're starting to move and you're starting into a direction.
And there's someone beside,
Like that was my,
Of course,
Like without Raj,
I wouldn't be here.
And that's what I'm not saying to do any advertisements.
It's maybe weird,
But it's just like saying it.
There was someone who took me and he didn't tell me what to do.
I just like,
I had someone beside me.
If I needed him,
I took your hand and you gave me your hand.
And if I didn't need him,
Like in this year,
In this period,
I just walked by myself.
And that was everything,
Actually,
Because all of these doubts you mentioned,
All of these dreams you have,
Like there's so much coming up,
Limitations and whatever.
Like you have someone you can share and you have someone who's like,
Who can take you.
Yeah.
So that made it happen in a year,
Having a job,
Working in a kindergarten.
I quit everything in between four months from zero to going and leaving Germany forever.
Like,
Yeah,
For a time,
Obviously,
And living exactly the vision I had.
Okay,
Now I went somewhere.
Sorry,
I just had a feeling to say.
Yeah,
No worries.
You get into a flow just like I do.
Yeah,
So that makes a lot of sense.
It is work.
Okay,
So I'll come back on that.
It is work.
Like I gave Mimi tons of books to read.
I give everyone I work with tons of books to read as homework assignments.
I'll give them challenges.
So it is work.
It is work,
But it's fun work because you're seeing instant growth.
We're not doing this for knowledge because you can read books for knowledge.
It doesn't get anyone anywhere.
There's Google.
Everyone's looking on Google.
It doesn't help,
Right?
But it's the transformational work.
And if someone's putting in the work,
Whether that's doing meditations,
Doing certain things,
It just helps you to get to where you want to be,
Right?
And taking actions.
I think that's a big one.
Actually taking actions to get yourself where you want to be.
It just happens,
You know,
Like the worries are usually coming because we're not fully being ourselves,
Right?
It's like I'm worried because I'm holding back or I'm trying to avoid something.
Whereas if we,
You know,
Coming back to the example of dark and light,
If you focus on the light,
Then your life starts becoming light,
Right?
If you focus on the worries on the dark,
Then you're just looking at worries all day.
It's like,
What's the other side of worries?
What's the possibilities you want to look at?
Well,
For Mimi,
It was like the possibilities are,
I want to become calm.
She decided that.
It was a decision she made of,
I'm going to commit to working for a year on this to become calm and to create a new life.
She decided and she just did what had to happen,
Right?
So yeah,
It can be work.
It can be hard.
It can be tears.
It can be a whole load of drama.
And it is.
But once you move through the drama,
You get to the light,
You know,
The worry-free life we're talking about.
It's the worry-free life is a life where there's less weight on everything.
There's everything feels less pressure.
And I'll use this example sometimes.
I felt like I was being chased by secret agents who were trying to get me.
It felt like my life was running away from,
You know,
Like an escaped prisoner.
I felt like I was an escaped prisoner.
I was always on the run and on the rush and looking over my shoulder.
You know,
Worry-free life is you don't need to look over your shoulder.
You don't need to.
You're OK.
You know,
Slowing down and you'll be OK.
Cool.
Anyway,
I'm going to see if there's any other questions.
I don't think there is.
I'm seeing all of the comments and I'm let me have a quick look.
How do you respond when you feel you have gotten into your ego again?
Hmm.
Go for it,
Mimi.
How do you respond when you feel like you have gotten into your ego again?
Good one.
It's an interesting one,
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was there on Monday.
Yeah.
We just talked about this,
Actually.
I was there on Monday.
It was pretty interesting because I was there like fully.
Yeah.
And I was there for like a week.
And I was there like fully and I haven't been there for a long time like that strong.
And you explained it at the beginning,
Like recently is good.
It felt so unnatural.
Like my inner self was so against it,
But it overtook me.
Like the ego overtook me and I felt like I'm out of control.
It was like an inner fight in between intuition.
Going back to heart and mind.
Like it was an inner fight.
I knew something is completely off,
But it overtook me.
I was like running and I tried to slow down and here we go.
And that's the point.
I think you have also those stress moments at work where you're just going to go crazy and your mind is taking you somewhere.
And one thing is happening,
Like everything is getting actually worse instead of better because you're trying to control.
That's the main part you're trying to control.
But there we go again.
You can't control life.
And that's what ego tries to do.
And one thing I learned from you,
Actually,
Because I am always saying like you're the master of slowing down.
It's like slowing down.
So and now what is slowing down?
And my simplest explanation for that is like,
Yeah,
What are we doing when we're at home?
At home,
Chilling and having like nothing to do.
We have our phone.
We have a laptop.
We have a TV and we are trying to distract ourselves.
So asking you now,
When was the last time you didn't do anything?
Like some of you might be into meditation,
But some of you not.
So when was the last time you just like sit there and you didn't do anything?
And that's the thing about slowing down.
Like just being with yourself,
Not having a phone in your hand,
Not talking to someone,
Just like slowing down and breathe.
Just maybe hear your heartbeat,
Looking at the clouds,
Seeing them moving,
Because then you know you're right here,
Right there,
Not going into controlling future or beating past or whatever,
Watching the trees.
That's right now.
And then,
You know,
It's there.
It's there.
Hmm.
Love that answer.
And I'm not going to answer the question,
But I'm going to guide us through a meditation instead to show you how to get out of the mind and out of worry.
And I'm going to guide us through what I'm basically going to do,
Guys.
Danke schon.
There you go.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to start guiding the meditation.
So get yourself into position.
We're going to be here for maybe 10 minutes.
We'll call this the worry-free life meditation.
I'll start guiding it and then at some point I'll stop and then Mimi will continue and finish guiding it.
How does that sound?
All right.
I didn't tell her we're going to do this,
But I'm telling her now,
Show up,
Show up right now.
That's how we play.
So get yourself into your position for meditation,
Seated,
Upright spine,
Not trying so hard.
Just relax.
Just get yourself relaxed.
Release the out breath.
So breathe in,
Take a long breath in and just release out breath.
One more time.
Long breath in and a long breath out.
We'll do it one more time,
Actually.
One more time.
So long breath in.
And when you breathe out,
See if you can extend it for as long as you can slowly.
Okay.
Closing your eyes,
Listening to the mind and listening to your breath,
Can you notice how the stomach rises on its own and how it falls on its own?
Resist the temptation to control the breath.
You can let go.
You can let your shoulders drop.
You can let your jaw relax and see if you can allow your forehead to be wide.
See if you can let go of your whole body into the ground.
There's nothing for you to do.
Everything's okay and you are okay.
So smile.
Find that inner smile that you had when you were a kid running around,
Playing,
Full of energy.
See if you can see that younger version of yourself smiling and allow yourself to melt and then bring your attention to the heart.
Listen to your heart.
Is it beating fast?
Is it beating slow?
Is it beating strong?
Because that's you.
That's me.
That's your energy.
Listen to your heart.
Be there.
Maybe you can try to extend this feeling,
The power your heart has in your chest.
Maybe you can make it bigger,
Wider.
It's always there,
Anytime.
Even if it hurts,
It's there because that's you.
Take a deep breath and try to get it into your heart.
Feel the palm.
Feel the palm.
You can come here anytime,
Being yourself,
Feeling exactly that.
Enjoy it.
Take another deep breath.
Soak up.
And if you're ready,
You can be you with this power.
And you can open your eyes and come back.
Hope you felt that,
Guys.
Let us know in the chat what did you experience during that meditation.
Did you feel a sense of energy shift?
I felt that actually when you were guiding.
It was quite nice to be guided because usually I'm the one guiding.
It's nice to be guided.
And yeah,
I felt the energy in the heart for sure.
Great session.
Thank you,
Says Jay.
I'm glad that these sessions were useful,
Guys.
Or this session was useful.
Very soft,
Says Kim.
Yeah,
Everyone that's here.
I hope you enjoyed that experience.
That meditation,
Because it's like a shift in energy can change everything.
Just being,
Just feeling energy.
And it's like worries go away,
Right?
A bit of space.
Even for me now.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Nice.
There you go.
Even us,
We do this.
We still meditate.
We still do this for ourselves,
Right?
Even if we're guiding others.
Because it helps.
I'll do it every morning.
Mimi does some kind of practice every morning.
And then throughout the day,
We're just reminding ourselves of that.
So it's not like this one-off experience.
But it's like,
How can we live like that?
Right?
Relaxing and freeing are great.
I'm glad it was helpful.
Cool,
Guys.
So that's the end of the session.
We're coming up to the end of our time today.
We're in Tanzania.
And this is where Mimi lives.
I'm here for about a month.
And we're ending the session now.
And I'm glad that you guys were able to experience this.
Because I don't know if we're going to do this kind of session again,
Live.
Who knows when that will be,
Right?
I hope you got something about how to stop worrying.
Even if it was like a single sentence or a single word gave you an insight,
Take that away.
I'd say take it away as a homework.
To say,
Well,
I got this little good feeling in the session with these two people.
How can I take that further?
How can I take that further and expand on that?
And you can message me and ask me for some recommendations.
Usually,
I just send someone a book.
I'll send someone a video.
I'll send someone something that can help them.
So if you want to get to a place where you can just live free,
If you really want to if you really want to live free,
Go and do something about it.
And if you want some help with that,
You can message me directly on here.
You can find me on Instagram,
Raj Gorsia.
I'm actually posting a lot about Tanzania and my stories.
I posted about the school.
So if you want to see the school that I was talking about,
You will go and see on my Instagram page videos of me in the school being surrounded by kids.
It was a crazy experience.
It's just today as well.
If you want some support,
You can message me.
And if you want to talk about how to take this further,
Just like how Mimi did,
She messaged me.
We were just talking.
I sent her some things.
I sent her books.
And then we had a chat.
And then we eventually got to where we are now.
We were working together,
Right?
So if anyone wants to talk about working together,
Just message me.
And there's like just a casual chat we'll have and see how it goes.
If you want to connect to Mimi,
Probably what I'd suggest is message me and I'll send you her details.
I'll give you like any way you can contact her.
And yeah,
We can take it from there.
Maybe you want to talk to her more than me.
So that's cool.
That's cool with me.
You can use me to get to her,
Right?
So just message me and I'll get you to her.
If you want to hear more about Tanzania and school and the vibes.
You can experience it even here,
Being here with me.
Yeah,
Yeah,
Exactly.
You can actually experience.
Yeah,
I forgot to say that.
You can actually come here and experience that.
She allows people to have an experience out here.
So if you're interested in coming out here and seeing things like that,
The school,
Just like I'm doing basically,
Then you can again message me and I'll tell you about how you can do that.
You can get out here and help people in need.
You can visit lions and have a safari.
You can go to a beach.
There's all sorts of stuff to do out here.
Whatever you want.
So you can ask us about that.
Mimi,
Anything to add?
I'll actually touch on the donation thing right at the end,
But anything to add before we get onto that?
No,
I'm just very grateful.
I haven't seen Raj physical.
I think we have to say we're working together now for a year.
And we saw each other on Monday,
First time.
So it's like he's the one who knows everything about me.
And I'm not saying he has Raj as a man.
So you as a person who knows and guided me to even myself and allowing me being myself.
So I'm very grateful you're here and we're here and can share exactly that.
Yeah,
It's crazy.
It's actually crazy.
Yeah,
I didn't even know when we were going to meet in person.
I knew I had this feeling that we're going to do it sometime this year.
But yeah,
It's super cool.
It's super cool to be able to share this kind of thing,
You know,
Have different opinions as well,
Share our experiences.
So yeah,
Like whatever you have about worries,
About challenges in the mind,
Just know that like,
And it sounds kind of like one of those cheesy things people say,
Like,
Yeah,
If I can do it,
You can do it too.
But it's just true,
Right?
And you can look at my story on my YouTube page.
You can see like,
I'll tell you,
I'm detailing everything that I've been through all the challenges.
Mimi's got similar stuff on her page.
So I only say that just to show you like,
There is ways forward to get wherever you want.
So just know that.
And just to end the session,
The last five minutes,
I said at the beginning,
Any donations that anyone makes to this session is going to go to a good cause.
So if you want to make donations,
There's a donation button.
And I'll let Mimi finish off and tell us,
Tell everyone here,
There's 148 people.
Whoa,
That's a lot.
It's 148 people here.
Tell them like,
If they're going to donate something,
How can that help people?
And what's the value of money?
What can that do for people out here?
Yeah,
The value of money.
I think that's a big thing.
But for here,
It's just like we are building a school for this now,
An inclusive school.
I'm just starting always with disabled.
I have to go with inclusive,
Like with and without disabilities.
Kids are going to have a chance here.
And in Tanzania,
There's a lot of stigmatized against and witchcraft things around kids or even people with disabilities.
So to give them a chance to get education,
To get,
First of all,
Accepted,
I think I have to start with that.
And then getting education and to build something around it.
But that's our goal for the NGO.
The value of money here is,
I started at the beginning,
I was saying,
One euro is the average income.
So one euro,
Just like having the awareness of what are you doing with one euro a day?
I think in Germany,
It's not much because one euro,
You do not get a lot.
Here,
You get a lot.
What was that in dollars?
Just quickly to interrupt.
One dollar ten.
One dollar ten.
Yeah.
Aroundish,
Like a dollar is super strong right now.
Maybe even less.
I'm not sure.
But saying like this.
So it's not,
It's nothing.
Here,
It's everything.
And with one dollar,
One euro,
Saying equally,
You have to feed a family.
We went to a market and yes,
Obviously,
To get a pineapple is like 50 cents.
It's nothing.
But for 50 cents,
You can't feed a family.
So you have to make sure,
Like,
What do I get for one euro?
And schooling is for free.
But the kids do not have anything.
They do not have a pen.
They do not have a bag to put the things in.
And then you're going to start with books,
Not having any access to get that.
It's like the circle of life.
If they're not getting good education,
Then won't get a good job.
They won't have a good job.
They won't get good medical treatment.
And that's the circle of life over here.
Now we're ending with Lion King on a very sad base.
But that's how it is.
And now we're having like on top,
Like disabled kids not being accepted in society.
Yeah,
Putting it together and give like just a little bit of chance.
That's actually not my goal.
It's the goal of the NGO.
Like it's not happening with me and saying my name has to be written.
And there is a creation out of a lot of people putting their minds together and just creating something very beautiful for the society.
So I guess that's what we're doing as an NGO,
What I am doing and living together with the people over here.
And it's super powerful and super,
Super intense.
If you're just interested how it looks like in a school,
Like I really tell to go on Raj's side today,
Because he shared some videos of a school where is a disabled,
Like a classroom for disabled.
There are 60 disabled kids in the age of three to 22.
It's just like get pressed in there and they do not do anything with them.
But at least they're going to go somewhere.
And normal school starting with 50 to up to 90 people.
So our students,
That's the normal life over there.
Just an impression.
Look it up.
It's quite impressive and intense.
Yeah,
Appreciation for our own life,
Crowning for our own life,
Being grateful for whatever we have in.
Yeah.
But at the end,
They're super happy.
That's what I have to say.
They're so happy.
They're so pure.
Yeah.
They're so authentic because they do not know it differently.
There is,
They do not have to worry about anything because it is like it is.
And they are happy.
Something I have to add.
Yeah.
No,
Thanks for adding that.
Yeah.
It's and I'll just add this to end session is I appreciate the donations,
By the way,
A few people just donated.
Thank you.
I think we're up to like,
I don't know,
It's getting close to $100.
So I think so anyway.
Wow.
Yeah,
That's cool.
I imagine $100 out here.
That's me.
That's like if you look at $100 and you try and translate that,
That probably means 500 at least right in their kind of form,
Five,
600.
So it's huge.
It is.
And so,
Yeah,
Like I appreciate everyone donating.
It's not like a pressure thing.
It's none of that.
It's like if you want to,
You can.
And even after you end the session,
You can just go to my,
I think you'll see after the session,
There's still a button to donate.
And yeah,
Whatever you send is just going to go to a good place.
And just like Mimi said,
I'll end it in that way where there's opportunities for people out here.
They're not miserable,
Right?
They're still happy.
They're like,
You know,
We're talking about worry-free life here.
I wouldn't say they're like,
I don't know,
They just can't even describe it.
Like they're just smiling and they've got a lot of energy.
So they don't know any better.
Right.
Like,
So imagine that there was a bit of better in front of them.
They would appreciate that so much because it's like they're okay with what they have,
Like we said in the session,
But there's opportunity for a bit more.
Right.
And it's like,
Ah,
That's awesome that we can do that.
So I appreciate that everyone.
And remember for your worries that you have in life,
There's a simpler way to look at things.
And it's almost like these kids in the school have taught me that going there and just being a part of it.
Life can be simpler.
We don't need to worry so much about everything.
We can look at what we have.
What do we have?
I have this.
I have this.
I have this.
Ah,
Nice.
And I think that's how they're living out here.
Oh,
Wow.
There's tons of good donations coming in.
I appreciate that,
Guys.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I appreciate everyone donating.
It's like they just realize this is what we have and they're okay with it.
And if any of us can do that,
Even the richest person in the world can be miserable,
Even if they got money.
Right.
But if that rich person realizes I'm okay with what I have,
I'm grateful,
Then they're free again.
Right.
So that's how you become worry free.
When you realize it's okay how I am.
I'm okay.
I can still have aspirations right now.
I'm okay.
So that's the homework is to look at your life and see how can you be okay with what you have.
That's what I'll say is your homework,
Guys.
And if you do that homework,
If you take me up on that,
Message me,
Tell me how that went.
And like I said,
If you want some support and you want some help with anything that you're challenged by,
Just message me and I'll give you some way to get yourself forward.
Right.
A book,
A video,
I'll send you a voice note,
Whatever.
Right.
So that's my invitation.
And if you want to do that,
It's there,
Basically.
So,
Guys,
That's the end of the session.
And I'm seeing donations still coming through as I'm ending.
It's like as soon as I'm like,
It's time to end.
It's insane.
Like people are still donating and putting stuff through.
So we'll give it like a few more seconds or whatever.
If you still want to do it,
You have a chance.
And even if you haven't,
You can still do it right after the session,
Basically.
That's all from me.
Anything you want to finish on before we finish?
I just want to say thank you.
A santa in Swahili and Dankeschön in German.
Yeah.
That's how I'm going to end.
Like,
From my perspective,
Just being very grateful to have this opportunity.
Yeah.
Nice.
Yeah.
Thanks,
Guys.
Cool,
Guys.
See you guys later.
And what we might do is if you like this kind of format,
I think me and Mimi are going to go live on Instagram instead.
We might find time to get an inside timer session in before we go.
Before I leave.
Let's see.
But if not,
We're definitely going to do an Instagram session live.
So you can find me and then you'll just see me talking to Mimi.
Well,
We'll just do it.
Yeah,
Just like this.
Yeah.
I was getting so used to being virtual.
Right.
I'm so used to,
Like,
Not seeing her in real life.
So I'm like,
Yeah,
We'll be on split screen.
No,
We won't.
We'll be on the same screen.
We'll be here.
So if you want to see us here doing that,
Then just find me and chat to me and whatever,
You know.
So cool,
Guys.
That's all.
And like I said,
If you want to find Mimi,
I'll send you her details if you don't want to hear from me.
Cool,
Guys.
See you later and have a good rest of your day,
Whatever time zone you're in.
We're going to finish for the night.
It's about 930.
I think we're just going to chill now and then go somewhere tomorrow.
Let's see.
Cool.
See you guys later.
Bye.
Bye.
Stop the recording.
