My near death experience unveiled the Secret of Daily Focus | Sukhi Wahiwala | TEDxAstonUniversity

My sister and I were privileged to care for at home, witness and assist at the natural death (she was 95) of our beloved mother. It was three years of hilarity, heartbreak, physical messiness, and fierce connection - sometimes all at once! But I can tell you this: 1-we were all profoundly altered - forever, by having been part of this, and 2-my 'little fears and daily anxieties' have disappeared, following this life changing time in our lives. Context shifted, meanings revisited, the small niggly piggies? Departed. Mother did not 'come back'..but as we helped her to complete her time on Earth - we were given a priceless opportunity to consider things we might never have even thought about! Thank you for this inspiring talk..

"When the mind has no motive, when it is free and not urged on by any craving, when it is totally still, then truth is. You do not have to seek it; you cannot pursue or invite it. It must come." Krishnamurti
This was your gift in disguise: You stopped thinking-about-being and began being.
Thank you for sharing.

Very inspiring, great topic, eloquent speech, truly engaging and enlightening. Thank you

This talk is very inspiring and the speaker has unveiled one of life's greatest secrets. A secret that states that your outer world is very much a mirror image of your inner world. If you change your thinking, you change your life. It’s that simple!

This was a wonderful talk I can relate to this topic well... I had a similar experience that afforded me the opportunity to look at life in a more present state and enjoy what God has given me today to use and share with others. Thank you for your testimony/ talk it was nice to know someone else gets the slowdown & thinks about how to have a healthier life rather than the one presented by societies/cultures and traditions etc. especially with 2022 & Pandemic rocking everyone world.

Epic . Cartesian logic .Digital , Analog and Visual. Beautiful talk . This should be shown in all schools across the land so that the young know how to manage time and be aware about the bad habit of procastination. Sukhi bro , you are there among the movers and shakers of this sleepy little gloomy half baked creatures of the land . Go forth and wake em up brother. Peace.

It was an awesome experience meeting you last night and learning so much from you! I know this teaching is just what I needed at this point in my life, can't wait to start getting more focused on my tasks now!!! Thank you so much Sukhi!!!
🙏💜

I was focused on this talk for the first 3 minutes... But it took me 15 minutes to regain my focus. 😢 Now I have to watch this talk again and again and again!

I truly needed this today ! Thanking god for ur recovery Heath , god bless you and thank you for sharing ur experience with us ,

This talk is about avoiding overwhelment. At 14:10, I'd deduced the moral. Here is clear and specific instruction for leading through balancing ones own life via work-life balance

There is Life before Death, so make the best to live one day at a time and live it to the full...I think this sums up his talk which shows you how to make the best of your actual Daily Time in Life!! There's a moral in his story which is worthwhile pursuing!!

Like many, I thought this about NDE but interestingly enough, found it of great benefit. I’ve always done lists to organize my thoughts and tasks, however, he’s right, they can also distract and overwhelm due to the nature of the mind/brain. By using his process of narrowing ones focus, you do free yourself to dive into the task at hand and the “moment “.

I once believed nothing could touch me..Until it did. It was then I realised that I am just as vulnerable as everyone else. That one's life can change in a mere second.

Thank You!!! This is life changing information- I hope that I can be strong and implement it! I started following your advice as you spoke. Thank you Thank you Thank you for sharing your insights and experience. Work is a vital part of life. There is no shame in learning to work effectively and efficiently so that we can be self supporting.

Very interesting talk. Thanks, Sukhi Wahiwala, for sharing what you've learned from and after your NDE.

Switching between multitasking and my autoimmune gradually ended up in procrastinating... This was an eye opener. Shukriya ji. Bless u..... And just realised I'm watching a 2017 in 2020. Wowy.

Thank you Sukhi Wahiwala ji, for sharing these invaluable insights 🙏

He is discussing the results of recognizing that our embodied life is finite .The teachings left to us by the adepts of the great wisdom traditions- and their present day practitioners- make it clear that consciousness of impermanence is one of the major KEYS to being able to bring ourselves completely to the moment and live as fully as we can.

hi sukhi, I met you at the business start-up you are giving your talk about focus and I really enjoyed it thanks for letting me know about your TEDTalk I thoroughly enjoy it I'll strive to be more focused person thank you for sharing your story

Thank you Sukhi, for this wonderful story. I have been working a lot myself and asking the question is it worth is. the answer is no, I would love to have more time for myself and to spend more time with the people I love to create memories. Also as a psychologist I know the brain is make-able and I use a special training to help the brain to focus again. However, your secrets for daily focus, are very true and helpful indeed. I always go back to pen and paper myself and found that making a list on the computer of what to do or who to call, will sit on my computer for ages, not being done.

Love the 7 steps process, when you use this it really helps you get focused. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this great talk! Very inspiring and the method DFT became the part of my life. :)

“To consider that after the death of the body the spirit perishes is like imagining that a bird in a cage will be destroyed if the cage is broken, though the bird has nothing to fear from the destruction of the cage. Our body is like the cage, and the spirit is like the bird. We see that
without the cage this bird flies in the world of sleep; therefore, if the cage becomes broken, the bird will continue and exist. Its feelings will be even more powerful, its perceptions greater, and its happiness increased.”
‘Abdu’l-Bahá

Oh, what a fine eloquent speech Mr. Sukhi! Truly engaging, enlightening, but also a session on how to be a fine, elegant, graceful, grammatically fine speaker. Respect!

The changing his life after his illness is basically what people with ADD deal with daily. There are medications that help but the side effects usually aren't worth it. This solution is interesting I'm going to give it a try.

What an amazing talk Sukhi! A man full of wisdom and knowledge. Thanks for all the contribution and support.

Thank you for sharing your process for redirecting and focusing your attention. I gather that your NDE was enough to point you in the direction of your authentic self. Being scattered is definitely a hindrance. Thank you again.

Face it, We're all seeking to be happy, every single person on this planet wants to achieve a state of happines, you know and I know it. The problem is this...
Our minds start to judge situations as good or bad .... a lot to do with conditioning placed on us by society and other people. So, we have beliefs that some situations are good and some are bad. We create pleasure (happiness) in the situations that are good, and pain in the ones that are bad , We seek total fulfillment but the only glimpses of happiness we have are fleeting situations that are bad. So, what do we do? We try to figure which situations appear to make us most happy, eroneously believing that a situation could really cause us to feel happy... and we try to find more of those situations, and we try to avoid the opposite situations but life being life, it's impossible to maintain this. We have to work, have to do things that are less than pleasure inducing and we get pissed off. We are also detached from our higher self, which is a consciousness that is felt to be connected to all consciousness, and is also the understanding of the world that is beyond the mind. When we reach that, bliss and happiness is so abundant it's intoxicating. We can get so high on this beautiful feeling, that nothing else matters. And the world is reduced to a mere illusion. We are all seeking our higher selves, but we're seeking for it externally, which just leads to more disllusionment and pain. We seek for it externally because we know, perhaps unconsciously, that some experiences are more pleasurable than others. So logically we conclude "if I keep seeking out those experiences I like, I will be truly happy". But it never happens, because it's the programming that differentiates good or bad, that defines some experiences as unpleasant and to be avoided and some experiences as pleasurable and to be sought out, that causes us to feel unhappy.
Happiness is within you, not external!

An excellent talk, really made be think about how I go about my life. Thank you so much

This is about recovering from illness not about near death. Great story just a misleading title. Thank you for sharing

Beautiful talk. Thank you for sharing this.

you say you don’t wish a NDE on anyone, yet it’s a wonderful gift... I wish everyone much bravery in the face of the unknown 🙏🏼

Your journey is so inspiring and feel you relate to so many with your humbleness. How would we book you for speaking opportunities please? Thank you!

I thought this was a story about a man who almost died who focuses on nothing but work and realised family and spirit were more important after his near death experience,....but alas it was about as man who almost died and then went back to work and refocused himself on work.

Beautifully said, thank you.

That was wonderful thank you I will study and utilize this information thank you so much

That’s why we are called “Human Beings” and not “Human Doings”!
We need to spend more time in the ‘being human’ state, just be, in the present, than always ‘doing something’ state!
It’s that simple!
Researchers lied to us when they said multitasking was the way to go.
It’s that simple!

Im practising DFT daily and its has big results in my life. Sukhi, what to do if you have 20 small tasks with same priority and which you can or couldnt (is not depend on you) finish? (for example progress of tasks, sales calls etc…). how to process Daily Focus Time in this situation?

I think this is an important listen for Mom's and Nurses. ...regarding multi- tasking.

when ever i do a bad sin i watch this to motivate me to be better!

You are a fortunate and blessed man Sukhi

Explanation of the process begins at 12:30

Um. I had a being dead death experience 3 months ago where I had been gone for almost 2 minutes. In that time I went from feeling great to everyone around me telling me I'm fine now and that they loved me. I also had one of those monitor things they attach to your finger. It was confusing since I had no idea what they meant. Once I was told what happened everything clicked and my assumptions about where I might go after death had been weirdly confirmed. Cessation of consciousness and no memory of the death part. Like anesthesia except instead of resuming the countdown they have you do, it was a point a to point c with a subtracted point B I wasn't aware of. No unlocking of the mind. Just me...not existing. No time passing since I was dead, and didn't need time. I would not have known I was brought back had I not been. I wish it could have been something else. Anything else, I didn't want to be right. Yet here I am. If there really is a me to be.

Great! You are blessing in my life right now! Why? I have distraction problem mostly over thinking, RU-clip video but cannot able to complete important task in hand to complete.
Your seven steps are good and project real being in life and act single minded on one task. Can you guide me how to focus single minded and to complete task in hand? If you can?

Every belief will shatter to make us stronger n wiser n enriched.
Sikhism is god’s latest gift to our human race 🙏🙏

Wow, I didn't expect the type of Message - that I actually NEEDED MOST!! TY

I really appreciate this. Thank you!

I love how we non-stop talk about near death experience and not about what happens when you are born and what you see (sarcasm). But seriously we really should talk about what happens when being born, EVEN if there is barely anything if they need to use my visions or other people's visions or what they remember. If I would to be honest I have no idea what birth really means, the start of life? This could be but what about the beginning of death? We may never know probably unless we die but that's not the point, the point is to learn even when there is nothing there, sometimes you learn best when there is nothing there.

It was a "close call", not an NDE apparently. The title is misleading....Still he learned to become a bit more "sukhi", good for him and his family.

One thing at a time when someting comes up deal with it one thing at a time one breath at a time. Giving the mind a break requires we put aside all practices and getting honest the fact is i am helpless. There is great power adimitting to ourself our weakness

Thank you 😊 Inspirational and informative talk 😇

Losing so much blood and a loss of iron creates the loss of memory. Been there - done that - it's awful! It's almost like you cannot hold onto a thought for a moment....that thought comes and goes, and is forgotten.

Great talk. I'm assuming the dislikes are people who can't handle the truth i.e., put the device(s) down and fully experience the present.

I had an NDE it was the most ecstatic, joyous experience in my life. This man talks about business, not an NDE.

the LOVE of money. LOVE of power. When really we should show more love to all we meet

Bless you, I am so in need of this! THANK YOU!!!

Everything this guy talked about regarding being distracted....its the exact description of living with ADHD. Its the same pattern day after day after day.

very important speech, thank you

12:45 is where you want to start.

Everything is Love ❤️.

The person’s comment below me is so true; I concur completely with what that person tells us .he uses the near death experience just to tell us how to stress out your life even more and become more effective! what kind of New World order nonsense is that? I expected more from this man..... His Video was self indulgent, boring, marginal at best.

Thought he was going to share about this NDE but was infact talking all about his work and work and more work.

Awesome n inspiring talk...

Grazie anche dall'Italia..è arrivato anche qui il suo illuminante e bellissimo discorso! Thanks endeed!!!! ❤

Great message.

He is still so full of himself. NDEs bring humility and change your perspective on life. His illness only changed how he worked. To each his own, but the title of the video is misleading.

13 minutes in. Start there for the 7 Steps Process.

This is not a "NDE". This is something else. Any way good speech in British accent.

Interesting talk. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.

POWER SPACE I love it!
But does this mean that playing the drums lowers your IQ because of multitasking?
Thank you for the upload.
PEACE

Thanks for sharing it resonates spiritual leader Eckharts time of now

very inspirational

Always start with a clear question...task at hand
Grab pen and paper write it down
Select ten important tasks to be done today, now
Throw away the rest of the list
Reduce Ten to top five tasks
Go. For a walk
Reduce to top three tasks
Prioritize them
Immediately do the top one
Then second then third
Repeat at will

Thank you for sharing :-)

I traind it by studying...and making my brain Learn it quiker..you can expant it

Most of the women I know can manage their time, prioritize AND multitask and get a helluva lot done, in the time it takes most men to decide what to have for breakfast. And they still make time for their kids.

Thanks for sharing 🌈

A good 7/8 step method. I wrote it down. Thanks!

Interesting speach, the capabilities of our mind facinate me. It's true about distraction, why do feel the need to always be doing something, is it a social programming that we cannot just sit just for the sake of sitting, that somehow we have to justify to do nothing. Anyway, I'm always looking for meaning for life other than working to provide which seems to be an endless cycle.

So true what this man is saying yup yup and

Thank you for sharing y our experience

Get up early. Do your needed work in the morning to have the afternoon free to what you like to do.

love the steps

Meditation of naam (Vaheguru) is the way forward. It brings peace of mind. With peace of mind you can easily achieve anything you want.
Simply believing in just anything is not enough!

This hits a spot i needed

Every minute of every day for the last 3 years of my life since my accident is consumed with one sidetrack after another. Someone needs to write a book about my life. Anything is possible. No matter how impossible it may seem

Thank you Suki Wahlwala. Your slight pause after describing procrastination [5:42] reminded me that I set out to do something other than watch Ted Talks and had allowed myself to be distracted 🤣🤣 At that moment, I decided to not watch any more Ted Talks tonight and get back to my task I originally set out to do, after your excellent talk, of course 😄😄 To help me not get distracted again, I am leaving this window open with the screen frozen at the point in time I decided to comment here (not a distraction at all! 🤣🤣🤣🤣).

Great talk but Mr Wahiwala did not have what is commonly known as an NDE. His near death illness affected his familiar cognitive ability and caused him to re-examine his life and re-prioritize what was important to him.

The afterlife is REAL and the Light and Love of Jesus is REAL indeed and with us and our Loved ones...Always....

GOD Bless you

Me and my family are from the skih religion aswell and we go to gurdwara's southall and I what when you had near death experience are you following Jesus Christ now or are you still following sikh gurus
Did you go to heaven

Great Speech

It was special...like i got a new spirit...or another extra soul ...saw...a person without a body only clothes..and i felt so save ...old souls ..do they had more than other...expieriences more than other...thats why we understand and feel it more...people animals...etc...

Multi tasking is bad. You are welcome. 🤗

Nice .. and impressive ..

Thanks for sharing :-)

Modern research on Near Death Experience by Raymond moody, reincarnation memories by Ian Stevenson/Jim trucker and past lives regression by Brian Weiss all independently but coincidentally show that our consciousness survive death, we live many lives and our thoughts and actions matter in the hereafter.
So be kind and helpful to others, be virtuous, meditate and cultivate ourselves to higher spiritual levels. Cheers.

sukhil wahiwala your talk is best in all talks

Thanks for the head's up!
Next time,be honest man
Just tell it like it is man . No one will respect you ,or trust your ethic's! TRUTH,,=TRUTH!

10minutes into the conversation and nothing about a near death experience. Very boring. He talks about a lesson he learned upon being really sick, almost dying, to appreciate his time more. Something important, of course. But he didn’t have a “near death experience”, as in, died and came back to tell what he experienced on the other side. In fact, I think what he is sharing adds to more stress in life, because he is basically telling us we should not get distracted ever. The feeling I get from his experience makes me feel stressed, not peaceful, as I usually feel when listening to real near death experiences.
