Many of the people I meet today want fulfillment and peace. They don’t want a secure but mindless and unfulfilling job. They don’t want to be in a so-so relationship just to not be alone.They don’t want to just exist, to survive and not experience transcendent joy. Most people these days want fulfillment – but what does that mean, what does it look like, how does it feel?
Most of the people I’ve met in the past year want to let go of the mindless and self destructive distractions – the addictions whether they be reasonably harmless or soul destroying. They want them gone so they can experience ‘self’ – being in their mind and body without being pulled at for attention by the constant stream of meaningless thoughts.
And then they can ask questions like these, because ultimately we all want to know who we are and which direction we need to go.
- Who am I?
- What’s my purpose?
- What are my core values?
- Do I have a soulmate?
- If so, who is it?
- What will bring me the greatest happiness?
- What’s my life all about?
The answers to these questions are all communicated to us through feelings. Or more accurately, sensations, sensations that rise up in our body and show us when we’re close to an answer we want – it feels good, exciting, tingly, warm; or further away from an answer – we feel cold, fearful, nervous.. When the sensations in our heart space feels warm and expansive, we know we’re getting closer to the answers.
The problem most people have is their desire to get the answers without doing the work of surrendering their old resentments and chronic guilt. And without releasing their old trauma.Because boy do we love to hold onto that stuff!
And that work, letting go of old resentments, chronic guilt and suppressed traumatic emotion must be done before we can experience true sensation that leads and guides us to the live we want to live, the love we are here to express for ourselves and others.
Our internal guidance system remains buried as long as emotional toxicity exists. Those toxic emotions generated by our past captures attention and can run your life into the ground while your feelings – and the answers to those key questions listed above – remain unexamined and unexplored. We can’t get past the trapped emotions, the grief, pain, rage and fear and their cohorts to move in a different direction.
Those questions have always driven me. Both personally and professionally. I think most of us contemplate them at different points of our lives but then we just get on with the day to day stuff of living and put them to one side.
But I decided to study this. To help myself and others in learning how to surrender emotions, how to heal trauma so we all get to open those questions up for exploration. And now I want to teach those skills to others.
With COVID cutting us off from what used to work to distract us from what is truly important in life – our self, there’s no more excuses to use in deferring the work required to uncover our truths, our answers to those questions..
Everything is changing, climate is in crisis and everyday there are stories of disaster. The old structures of dominance and power are crumbling and exerting extreme control to stay in charge of us. The time has come to depend on ourselves and each other.
These questions are the baseline for living a happy, fulfilling, and productive life.
The bottom line is that you are Love itself, incarnated. Until you do the work required, that’sounds like childish nonsense. But deep down you know the truth when you hear it. Aren’t you ready to feel it, embody it, finally BE IT?
Consider this your invitation to join me.
