underlying TRUTH

💓

I've been trying so hard to create a really nice class and environment and today was just a little crazy! Arjuna says I try too hard ! haaa... I'm always striving to bring a beautiful practice and I am mainly just saying THANK YOU so much! 

The reading to share is from a lovely book, A PATH WITH HEART....

I feel so strongly about the content that I wanted to bring it... 

Spirituality is a CONTINUAL movement away from the compartmentalization and separation....Spiritual growth is a movement toward embracing all of life.  

We must learn the art of directing mindfulness into the closed areas of our lives.  THIS IS WHERE we face the PATTERNS....We face the conditions,...These things shield us from the pain of the past.  To be free IS NOT to rise above these patterns but to go into and through them ( if not we just create more of the compartments ) We have to go into and through and bring them into our hearts...find a willingness to go into the dark.  We need to feel our holes and deficiencies, feel the weakness and rage or insecurity that we have walled off in ourselves. Bring attention to the stories that we tell about these shadows.  to see the underlying truth.

🙏

As we enter... WILLINGLY TO EACH PLACE OF fear, each place of deficiency and insecurity in ourselves ... what we discover is that the walls are made of untruths, old images of ourselves, ancient fears of false ideas of what is pure and what is not.  When we look into the compartments that we have moved away from,...we find that they are made from a lack of trust within ourselves, our hearts and the world.  As we see THROUGH them,... our world expands...As the light of awareness illuminates these stories and ideas and pain, fear or emptiness that underlies them, a deeper truth can show itself.  By accepting and feeling each of these areas, a genuine wholeness, sense of well being and strength can be discovered.  

I love💜 you guys and appreciate you all sooo much!
