00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:07.920
I have arrived, I am home.

00:00:08.144 --> 00:00:11.624
It's very simple, 
but that is the practice.

00:00:13.363 --> 00:00:18.263
And walk in such a way that you arrive,
and you feel like home.

00:00:19.927 --> 00:00:24.137
You do not walk 
like a sleepwalker anymore,

00:00:24.648 --> 00:00:30.428
you are walking as a free person,
you are walking like a Buddha.

00:00:31.694 --> 00:00:37.244
To be a Buddha and walking 
on earth is possible.

00:00:37.751 --> 00:00:42.891
A Buddha is a man who is awake,
who can be in the here and the now,

00:00:42.891 --> 00:00:45.645
who can enjoy the present moment.

00:00:45.645 --> 00:00:50.010
You can be a Buddha, 
walking on this beautiful planet.

00:00:53.708 --> 00:00:57.648
Is very important that you feel at home
in the here and the now,

00:00:59.231 --> 00:01:01.621
only when you feel at home
in the here and the now

00:01:01.621 --> 00:01:06.953
that you really have peace.

00:01:07.409 --> 00:01:11.819
Without peace, 
there's no happiness and joy.

00:01:12.985 --> 00:01:16.975
Peace is the absence of conflict.

00:01:21.408 --> 00:01:28.578
When you deny the here and the now,
when you are not satisfied with yourself,

00:01:28.578 --> 00:01:31.743
what is there when you are
searching for something else,

00:01:31.743 --> 00:01:34.900
you are not at peace with yourself.

00:01:36.084 --> 00:01:40.564
When you breathe in and bring
your mind home to your body,

00:01:40.994 --> 00:01:45.024
you make peace between mind and body.

00:01:45.746 --> 00:01:52.136
Very often, in your early life,
you left your body alone.

00:01:55.689 --> 00:02:00.449
When you spend two hours
with your computer,

00:02:01.399 --> 00:02:04.119
you forget completely
that you have a body.

00:02:06.888 --> 00:02:09.698
In that moment, body and mind
are not together,

00:02:09.698 --> 00:02:11.710
you are not truly alive,

00:02:11.710 --> 00:02:17.041
when body and mind 
are away from each other.

00:02:19.450 --> 00:02:27.121
So, breathing in mindfully
you ride on your inbreath

00:02:27.121 --> 00:02:29.251
and go home to yourself.

00:02:29.573 --> 00:02:32.093
You bring your mind home
to your body,

00:02:32.093 --> 00:02:36.540
and eternally, you are fully present
in the here and the now.

00:02:36.979 --> 00:02:41.399
And that's only two seconds,
three seconds for breathing in,

00:02:41.399 --> 00:02:44.322
to bring the mind home to your body.

00:02:44.322 --> 00:02:47.339
And there, mind and body together,

00:02:47.339 --> 00:02:49.417
you are established 
in the here and the now

00:02:49.417 --> 00:02:53.150
and you get in touch 
with the wonders of life.

00:02:56.133 --> 00:02:58.103
That's simple enough.

00:03:00.464 --> 00:03:06.474
So, every breath you take,
every step you make,

00:03:06.474 --> 00:03:09.178
should be able to bring you home
to the here and the now,

00:03:09.178 --> 00:03:11.426
that is the basic practice.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And you don't have to struggle,
to force yourself to do that,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because breathing in like that
can be very pleasant,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and making a step like that
can be very pleasant,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
there is no violence, no force,
just awaken, a wake up from a long dream,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from a long sleep.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You wake up to the fact that life
is available in the here and the now,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you are alive, of the wonders
of life in you and around you,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you can enjoy being alive,
right here and right now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And you have more than enough
conditions in order to be happy,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that is insight, that is mindfulness
and concentration.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That back the value of your breath
and you step;

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a breath made like that,
a step made like that can bring you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a lot of freedom and happiness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have arrived, I am home.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You feel comfortable in your home,
your true home is not in Germany,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in Holland, in Singapore, your true home
is the there and the now,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where you can touch the wonder of life,
your ancestors are available

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the here and the now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have arrived, I am home,
in the here and the now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The here and the now
is where I arrived,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is my true home.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I am solid, I am free.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is not wishful thinking,
solidity is what you cultivate by walking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Every step helps you cultivate
your solidity.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
To be solid means to be established,
to be in the here and the now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The past cannot pull you away,
the future cannot pull you away,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you are established in the here 
and the now,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
solidly established 
in the here and the now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And with one step, breathing in,
you can contemplate that solidity,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you are free, I am solid,
I am free,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you are free because the past
and the future,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
your projects, your sorrows
cannot pull you away anymore.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, while walking you can cultivate
more solidity and freedom,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that has the power to heal you,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and to bring you happiness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So that's one song I like to memorize
and to practice walking or breathing,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"I have arrived, I am home,
in the here, in the now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I am solid, I am free
in the ultimate, I go.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the ultimate means that 
you see that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this physical body of yours
is not the only body you have.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You have a cosmic body,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you have to recognize 
your cosmic body,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you look into your physical body,
you see your cosmic body,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the air, the water, the heat, the soil,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you are made of stars.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You know very well that 
without the sunshine,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
there would be no life on Earth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So you are made of sunshine.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the sun is a star,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is the one of the biggest stars
in the whole galaxy,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that star is very close,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and because the sun is there,
life on Earth is possibile.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So you are a sun of the sun,
a dot of the sun,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you can call the sun "father sun",

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you are a daughter of Mother
Earth,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a son of Mother Earth, 
you are made of stars.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And you have, if you look deeply
you know that,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the physical body is not the only body
you have,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you still have a cosmic body.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Suppose you contemplate a wave
that is born of the ocean,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that wave has come from the ocean,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and she will go home to the ocean
in order to be reborn again

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as another wave.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So the wave has the wave body
and also the ocean body,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the moment where she realizes
that she has an ocean body,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
she'll lose all her fear,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fear of birth and of death.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Look at the clouds in the sky,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they also come from the ocean,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and if they meditate well enough,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they'll see that, 
although they have a cloud body,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they have also an ocean body.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Is very important for the cloud
to realize that he has an ocean body,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so when he's no longer a cloud,
he still has his ocean body.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So the ultimate is that,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
love is the ultimate,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
nirvana is the ultimate.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nirvana is the true nature of reality,
the nature of no birth and no death,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
no coming and going,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God is ultimate, God is nirvana.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So you have a nirvana body,
you have a God body,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you have a cosmic body,
and if you walk deeply in mindfulness

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you can touch our cosmic body,
we can touch the ultimate,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we touch our nature of no birth
and no death.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So walking meditation can bring
very deep insight

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and dissipate all kind of fear.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Is a simple practice,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and practicing walking you can get 
in touch not only with the wonders

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of life that can be nourishing
and healing,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but you can touch also the ultimate,
in order to be liberated from all fear

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and anxiety.
