When your inner software begins to feel obsolete and like you need to freshen yourself from reality, consider changing your interface. Move some memories around in your mind. Begin to refile mistakes as learning experiences. Learn to forgive yourself and accept yourself. Everything works out in its perfect time. Have the courage to trust your own path.
Just as a prism refracts many colors, our hearts refract many emotions. Realize that you are not these emotions. These emotions are a state of your existence. These emotions can flow through you without consuming you. Life is much easier when your concentration is focused on merely being. To obtain the observer state an individual must look past personal interjections and opinions without passing judgements.
All judgements are relative to outside forces and experiences that do no necessarily attribute merit to the current situation. The ability to find oneself in a born again innocent state.
Some people see wealth as money, some see it as health, some see it as an attitude, some see it as how much love from others you can obtain. I see wealth as an internal development of character.
Sometimes when something hurts it draws us into ourselves. The pain becomes internalized. Release this blocked energy and emerge into healing. The power is within you to clear the blocked energy.
From within, you can reach all places.
And reaching for those stars.
Central focus meditation can become a major tool if you desire a more realistic visual experience while advancing yourself spiritually. Follow each line in and out of the center and allow the graphic to begin to move infront of your eyes.
Sometimes in life all of the dividends of decisions can add up to make an enormous whole. Overwhelmed and frustrated by the ever growing demand place upon us by our current world economy people are confronted with negative emotions. The teachings of many shamans can show that repression of angry, fear-driven or hurt emotions can only cause a permanent scar to wear on the metaphorical sleeve.
Look not to holding in these feelings. Let yourself express them. Let them wash through you and out like a wave. The further under the water you submerge your body, the less the friction of the currents will move you about.
Once they have past, you can look out onto new waters. Your perception makes up a greater toll of the how the world treats you than can be imagined.
