Our breath comes and goes without our noticing. We don't question our bodies in this art, we don't mourn each breath that passes. The body openly allows the exhale and welcomes a new inhale. So, what makes our emotional and mental shedding so painful in our growth process?
Simply put, it is attachment to what was, and resistance to what is becoming.
Our awareness mistakes itself for the emotions, thoughts, and feelings produced by the body, and the grasp happens in the pursuit of pleasure over pain. Evolutionary wise, this makes sense. But from a spiritual perspective, this is the root of suffering.
Wanting, and not wanting, become the fulcrum of our pain. This is why acceptance/surrendering/letting go are so essential in our wellbeing, because there is a beautiful harmonising that wants to take place which cannot because we keep insisting on that which no longer wants to take place.
We continue to chase a pleasant experience, all the while forgetting our essence as awareness. When we cease to want and not want, we are free to be our truest self, as awareness and source consciousness, which is ultimately whole and complete. 🌸🙏💛
