We all had such a great time on Sunday September 21st at Beaver Lake Nature Center. I know a lot of you couldn’t make it that day so we captured everything but the walking on video tape. The first video is of us meeting at the Sensory Garden and Dr. Rob talking about “the heart centered hug”. Click more for the other videos.
Video transcriptions:
But we’re all just energy and there is something that happens when we come together, when we come together because in reality even though, you got to got to , this is the hard part. Sometimes you know it’s our comfort zone, our comfort zone, our comfort zone is somehow ;close ( waiving people together). It’s coming really close but somehow there is this energy that we all admit and when we’re close and we touch and hug and it somehow energizes all though there is some discomfort for many of us, but really we energize the most when we all come together and we touch and hug and, and uh but it’s sometimes hard but sometimes when we do it, it really matters. Do you know the heart shared hug, I learned it today or last night. Were is your heart, right or left; ( a woman in the audience says left). Right, but we shake with our right, our typical we, we, we move to the right and that’s our comfort way of hugging. But try something different ( Dr Rob speaks to a woman in the audience) may I, ( hugs the woman) try it on the left and and and to whoever your right next to turn around, and not your partner or friend your with, someone you don’t know and give a shared heart to and if they are not right there… and you can double hug other people just take a moment. Mom and Dad are just arriving so we are going to get on the road momentarily. How did that feel; a little uncomfortable, ( a woman in the audience says different) different, different, so different is typical. Different is usually hard it’s not our comfort zone and so to object you fold your arms, you fold them a certain way, now do it the other way and our brain registers something that says wow that’s not comfortable because it’s not our usual and it’s hard to do things that is not our usual. So I am driving here thinking oh God, oh God, oh God what am I going to talk about, is anyone going to want to listen to me, this is a little scary but the more you do anything, the more you practice the luckier you get. It is more comfortable and uh more fun and we’re all saying stories because ultimately remember this thing that we think is our self ( pointing to the top of his head) is this energy packet that is like everywhere and when we open up and recognize our energy it’s like all over the place and connecting with people . We’re going to talk about thoughts, it’s sort of my theme for the day and I love thoughts. Thoughts are big in the things in all of us. Somehow we create a thought and it makes it who we are and is that who we are, ( a guy I the audience says if we think it) right on, if we think it. But like I’m a doctor. I’m a doctor, like what would happened if I couldn’t be doctor. Maria, Justin and Ray, welcome. We are doing heart centered hug, heart centered hugs. Welcome! Welcome! There’s a mile and a half loop, we’re going to take our time and the whole idea is to enjoy nature, which we don’t think about . It’s just a being. We can talk and enjoy, but just being sometimes is hard for all of us. Just being. If we weren’t here would this stuff be here.
There’s a video that Jack canfield is shown; where people were watching five guys pass a basketball around, has anyone seen it? And uh, in the middle of it a the gorilla walks by. By the end of it , it asked how many saw the gorilla, like five our of a hundred saw the gorilla walking by and ( a guy in the audience says moon walking) yea! And somehow we’re all walking though the same space and we all see different things. Now the why, is where’s our minds, where’s are real attention and perception and do we see what we want to see and we don’t see what we don’t want to see. So when a flag flaps in the wind, what’s moving ( a guy in the audience says air) the air or the flag ( a woman in the audience says both), both. I was driving in my Lexus convertible yesterday and every time I go out to the horse farm the flies love the car. Now the top is down and somehow still they jus kind of covet, then I go driving away and the flies are flying in the car with the top down and they are just hanging out with me. You know they are just like flying in the air and the car is moving at 60mph or whatever it was, but they just, just hanging out there along for the ride. So what, what’s on our ride? What is all the stuff you know that is just with us, hanging out that we see and there’s so much out there that we could see and coming out to nature more and slowing down, taking breathes. Yoga and somehow that yoga and breathing always coming back to our breath. Try to stop breathing. Can anyone stop breathing, ( a woman in the audience says no, temporarily), moments. You can hold your breath but it’s but it’s , but we can focus our intentions on slowing it down and focus on it and sometimes when we do that all the stuff that was in the way, the veil just drops right down and things sort of open up to us. Oh! Someone is joining us but we have to have a hug. We are all perfect, all of us, all of us and all the stuff that goes along with our lives is what’s meant to be. It is what it is. But were fighting it all the time. Like I’m suppose to be more like you or like you or just like you or you. Why? But were all perfect and we are actually all the same and some of those thoughts with in our minds were, we are so much a like, all of us. Doesn’t matter what we do. That thing about being a doctor, if I wasn’t a doctor what would I be. I’d still be loved because what we do is not who we are, and our thoughts are just thoughts. I think we should continue on our nature walk.













Thank you so much for sharing these videos! I wasn’t able to make it but now I feel as though I shared this wonder-full experience with all of you, even if only in cyberspace. Oh, and I love going to movies alone!
Thank you again, and what beautiful scenery!
Dr. Rob’s words were beautiful and inspirational. The energy shared was a perfect way to walk into fall through nature’s trails and the landscapes of our minds. I am grateful to all who put effort, time and thought into creating this experience.
