This reminds me of the times after falling and hurting myself, my mother would say " you must have done something bad to deserve that" and unfortunately, I still find myself saying that to myself, but I'm working on it!!Paulinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796218940491767939.post-76438961069269659722011-10-24T10:44:02.149-04:002011-10-24T10:44:02.149-04:00Good post indeed.

To sit through painful feelings without giving them their due attention is to split off from one's true nature rather than go deeper into it. <br /><br />We cannot avoid our trauma by meditating it away. Without paying attention to feeling, practice is an attempt at emotional self-lobotomy. The dialectic of suffering is that it resolves when we let ourselves feel and express it. That is nature's gift to us. By allowing that expression, we can access the love that heals us, both from within us and from others. <br /><br />BruceBruce Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07445797979784972815noreply@blogger.com
