THE GOAL... is to keep the heart open, not to close... To allow the feelings to pass through the heart. To feel the feeling but not to become it - to pause, to process and to let them go. The 'good', the 'bad, the' happy' and the 'sad,' the 'joy' and the 'pain'...
"The path of letting go allows us to free our energies so that we can free ourselves, in freeing ourselves,
we find ourselves."
(The Untethered Soul, a journey beyond yourself, Micheal A. Singer)
IMPRESSIONS… Over time the heart builds up impressions. These impressions get triggered by the outside world stimulated by our senses, allowing us to re-live the unprocessed experiences we’ve held in our hearts over a period of time (sometimes many years with the root problem being buried under all the shallower issues which are actually about avoiding the deeper ones). Do you see the importance for us to release both the good and the bad experiences? When triggered, instead of asking from victim mindset, ‘why is this happening to me?’ Rather shift our thinking to victor mindset ‘what is this teaching me?’ By holding onto and repressing these experiences, thoughts, feelings and emotions we hold ourselves back from embracing life fully and all its many wonders and opportunities. In another moment of pause, if we could take the time to ask ourselves; “When did the music inside me stop, at which point in my life did I stop ‘dancing’ (living)?” It’s not our bodies that are tired, it’s our souls that are tired… we don’t need more sleep, we need to wake up and live. (Shakti-Life, Louise Muggeridge and The Untethered Soul, a journey beyond yourself, Micheal A. Singer) COMMUNICATION… The body communicates through its universal language: pain. Your psyche communicates through its universal language: fear (self-consciousness, jealousy, insecurity, anxiety, anger, etc. they are all fear). Physical pain is only there when something is physiologically wrong but inner pain is always there, underneath, hidden by the many layers of our thoughts and emotions. This inner pain is a psychological pain and we feel it most when our hearts go into turmoil, like when the world does not meet our expectations. As we try to express ourselves daily, we carry an inner weight – the fear of experiencing the pain, so we are either feeling it or we are protecting ourselves from feeling it. When Buddha said that all of life is suffering, this is what he was referring to. Wow! Knowing all this, is quite liberating when we realize we can actually enjoy living life instead of fearing it.
FEAR - false evidence appearing real. (Shakti-Life, Louise Muggeridge and ‘The Untethered Soul, a journey beyond yourself’, Michael A. Singer)
WHY DO YOU SCREAM AT A PERSON WHEN THEY ARE ANGRY? A Tibetan Story tells, that one day an old wise man asked his followers the following: – Why do people scream when they are angry? Men thought for a few moments: – Because we lost our calm – one said – that’s why we screamed. -But why scream when the other person is next to you? - asked the wise - Can't it be possible to speak to him in a low voice? Why do you yell at a person when you're angry? Men gave some other answers but none of them satisfies the wise. Finally he explained: -When two people are angry, their hearts go far away. To cover that distance you must scream, to be able to hear. The more angry they are, the louder they'll have to scream to hear each other through that great distance. Then the wise man continued: – What happens when two people fall in love? They don't scream but talk softly why? Their hearts are so close. The distance between them is very small. The wise smiled and said: – When they fall in love even more, what happens? They don't talk, they just whisper, and they get even closer in their love. Finally they don't even need to whisper, they just look and that's it. This is how close two people are when they love each other... And then he said: -When they argue do not let your hearts go away, do not say words to distance them more, there may be a day when the distance is so much that they do not find the way back anymore... - All credits to their respective Author /THE RISING SUN
