Light comes when you do the work of transmuting that darkness within yourself first, understanding and coming to terms with it.
We are complex creatures.
The body keeps the score, it is the reflection of our souls. It goes both ways – our souls also reflect the state of our bodies. Raise your hand who experienced anxiety due to hunger or felt grumpy late in the evening or early in the morning. Women should know it better than anyone else that days just before menstruation can be more tense or emotional than any other time of the month. All that influences our choices and thoughts and pretending otherwise is a waste of time.
Despite the setting prepared for us by our conditions, we still attract what we manifest. It is in our best interest to keep our thinking patterns positive, trust and believe in the best outcome, because that is what we will attract. Can we do something about it without denying our reality?
The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name. – Confucius
Denial rarely makes things go away, instead most often leads to psychosomatic consequences. If you feel shitty, admit that, give yourself a nice caring hug and when you are ready: trace the source of that feeling and work with it. Identify your emotions – but do not let yourself dwell on the negativity. Use it, for it has a purpose.
Do not eliminate, but transmute. – A. Jodorowsky
Long time meditators have probably noticed how much easier it is to shape our thinking patterns when the brain is trained by a daily meditation habit. Distance yourself from your thoughts or emotions. They do not define us. We can observe them, let them appear and notice different colours they carry. We can transmute our emotions and use them to our benefit. We cannot have a high and a low vibration at the same time. Even the darkest emotion can be useful, we can use it. Understanding, awareness is the key.
Conscious life
Presence of an intimate partner can trigger some reactions in us. These all are great opportunities to transmute what is malfunctioning. Nobody dates with the idea of breaking up. Yet our wounds often do that for us. We can modify our reactions in a similar way: replace contempt with appreciation and take responsibitility instead of victimising yourself. Then and only then we can actually grow with our partners.
