I remember last year a friend told me about a great book she had read, and the weirdest thing happened. She handed it to me, and I held in in my hands glanced at the title and then told her what the whole book was about. It was one of those spooky moments, and after she realised it was the firstI had heard of the book, I was ready to start signing autographs. Ha, ha.
This book was called something like “You’re not fat your just toxic” Now there was another book called “Woman, Food and God” and I also did not read this book but knew what the message was. It’s about filling that void, emptiness, lack of love, feeling like something is missing, suppressing inner pain, sadness etc, by either throwing yourself into something i.e. This can also be done with food, work, family, shopping, causes, food, gambling, boyfriends, girlfriends, sex, etc, or numbing yourself with alcohol or drugs.
Now it’s not about taking anyone of these issues by the horns, it’s about gentle and subtly improving small aspects of your life that you can confront. As you work through this you start feeling better and better, gaining confidence in yourself as you go. Loving every aspect of you, as each area of your life is teaching you something, whether that’s to show you how strong you really are, or that you are more that all this. You are love, and anything other than that is temporary.
Now if you have been working through all these blogs in order and using the tools provided you will be gaining strength.
It was only by talking to a friend about their first experience with doing the meditation at the end of a yoga class, that I realised that this can be terrifying for some. By the time I started Yoga in 2002 I had been healing myself for years, so my mind was quiet, and I had conquered my various additions/distractions.
So, when I tried meditation, not a lot came up in the way of feelings and emotions. Now the cool thing was I have experienced these emotions coming up, but it was not during meditation. The thing is that when things start stirring up, it means they are on the way out, you are healing. Yoga is great as it teaches you to become the observer of these thoughts and emotions and to just release them. You are more than all this, you are the observer, and just because you are feeling something does not mean it has control over you. It’s just on its way out. My friend said that when she first did the mediation at the end of Yoga she was terrified with just “Being”. Now she knows how to heal all this with the law of forgiveness and another tool I will share below. It makes it so much easier. Another friend went to a mediation class with me and she went through so much stirring up, she stayed composed and felt so much better at the end. The thing is you do not have to sit in it and suffer, you can connect with the divine and ask that this emotion of (………….) be taken out of you and transformed into light. Then it’s gone. Some other version of a similar emotion may show up, you just repeat the command. For example, it might first be anger, then agitation could show up, then irritation, just work through whatever shows up. When you work with the divine it is so powerful, and you could not be in better hands.
