i accidentally found peace for 14 days

Two years ago, I accidentally experienced fourteen days of extraordinary inner peace. My mind was quiet, ordinary life felt different, and I wasn't constantly trying to make myself feel a certain way. I've practiced Daoist meditation and explored zuowang from a young age, but this experience wasn't something I had intended to find. In this video, I reflect on what happened, how it relates to my experiences with contemplative practice, why the peace eventually faded, and what I learned from trying to get it back. Can peace of mind be pursued directly? And what happens when we try to hold on to something that seemed to arise precisely when we stopped trying? In this channel, I try to think through the problems and puzzles I encounter in my life. If you enjoy slow-paced, honest reflections on life, please consider subscribing.
