Ruben's Own Experiences 3 | The Shift Will Happen

In this third short video, Ruben shares a personal insight from his own life about how transformation is not a sudden achievement, but something that unfolds through simple and repeated moments of practice.

He explores how small pauses during the day can gradually influence the way life is experienced, without needing to force change.

Through short moments of stillness, he noticed that shifts in perception naturally arise when the practice becomes part of everyday living.

These kinds of insights can be supportive during periods of stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, overthinking, or insomnia. Please note that this practice is a supportive tool and is not a replacement for professional medical or psychological care.

The audio courses 'Don't Fool Yourself Any Longer', 'Embracing Softness', and 'Free As A Bird' offer further exploration, alongside Ruben's Insight Timer courses where questions, shared inquiry, and warm connection are always welcome.

Such a beautiful. . . Moment where when you're in this confused state and suddenly life itself is reminding you to to become more clear. To be more at peace. And sometimes life to knock twice or maybe even three or four times because our mind, Our well let's call it the ego It's kind of stubborn, Isn't it? Always trying to be right. Very righteous and It does change, I can say. In the midst of all situations in life I can now notice. That these reminders of softness, Of clarity, Always, Always come up. There isn't a day where. . . This whole body-mind system isn't reminded. And some days it might be more than others. But also because of practicing by listening to somebody for hours, For weeks, For years. Always listening, 24-7, I was listening. Taking in this message. Of love actually, It's such a warm and loving message. Still listening to many teachers that are sharing about the possibility to rest as awareness. By listening, This life has changed radically in a very positive way. Challenges still arising for sure. But no longer judging so much. Also because of practicing this so would say so much, But it's so effortless just by listening, Sometimes reading. Also sharing about it. Having this as a topic within many conversations with others. Noticing others to be a little stressful. And then dropping into this more softness myself, This more spacious state of being. Others may be noticing this, And a conversation from there on. Arising. All this is so so simple so Mundane? Well, Nothing is truly mundane, Of course. It's not even. Spiritual, I would say. Although my interest in spirituality is so profound and so beautiful and I'm so grateful to have so many beautiful spiritual teachers. I do notice that The essence of it all is just. The wholeness of it all.
