THE GIFT OF AWARENESS
( An Excerpt from my book "Twelve Steps to Inner Peace")
The blocks in the chakras are created to stop the depletion of life force energy. The illness in the body may be healed but the blocks can last longer, and they may even be carried from lifetime to lifetime through the cell’s memories. Being aware of the imbalances in the chakras and dysfunction in the body helps us to recognize where we are losing our energy. Every time we think and give emotions to our wounds, we are disempowering ourselves as we will lose energy from one of the chakras.
True healing requires us to pay attention to our wounds of the past, to forgive ourselves and others, and to have a sense of honor and integrity toward ourselves.
For ages, we have become comfortable with storing data, keeping account, and suffering. We have become story-tellers of stressful stories and we project our stories outward as the world around us. We define our lives by our wounds, and our social climate celebrates our wounded stories of the past and the present. We believe that if we do not have a story of hurt to share, then we have nothing to converse about with each other. We love to tell our stories of pain, but we do not really face our pain. We consider pain to be our enemy, and we try to run away and escape from it. Pain is actually our guardian. It is our body talking to us and asking us to be in our truth.
Healing is not perfection. Healing is redefining ourselves and working through our challenges in truth and integrity as a day to day life journey. Instead of asking why, we change by asking the question how. The moment we ask why we remain stagnant and we deplete our energy. When we ask how, we will be shown the way and our life moves on. We can have a million thoughts a day, but if we choose not to believe them or to attach our emotions to them, we remain in peace.
We do not actually love others; we only love the concepts we have about them. We project our concepts on to the world and we compare. It is not possible to have the idea of a mistake unless we are comparing our ideas and concepts with the reality of the world outside. The concept of a mistake happens only in the mind story. As long as we hold on to a negative concept about someone, we will continue to project it on to everyone. This is how we create a discord in our reality. So if there is a discord in our reality on the outside, we need to go within and heal the concept inside us. When we learn to love ourselves truly, it will not be possible to project the concept that other people do not love us. What we give to ourselves, we will project on to the world outside.
We deplete our energy by attaching to our judgments about the world. Instead of healing ourselves, we start searching for that perfect person who would love and understand us and complete us in all of the ways that we could not. In our search, we demand that our parent, spouse, or children validate the caring, the love, the nurturing, the acceptance, and the respect that we are not giving ourselves. That is why we want them to behave according to our ideals and our concepts. We try to mould them to our whims and fancies, and we create discord in our relationships when they are not what we want them to be. We never get to truly know them or see them as they are as we constantly seek to see them only from our ideals. Hence, we lose the joy of knowing the true person in our lifetime.
Each person is a universe unto themselves. Each person can understand only their own story. No one can ever understand another person’s story, and even if they do understand, it will only be from their perspective. Therefore, no one will be able to love or understand you the way that you want. Realizing this is a grand freedom. Realizing this we come to the understanding that the only person who can love and understand us the way we want is our own self. We are the ones we are seeking. The only true love affair is what we have with ourselves. The experience of love and understanding cannot come from anyone outside us; it can only come from within us. I cannot tell you truly that I love you, all I can say is “I love me more when I am with you” or “I love me more for having created you in my space.”
We are one hundred percent responsible for our own happiness; no one has authority over our life as only we have the authority. By noticing the concepts and thoughts that we attach to, we realize that no one can frighten us – it is our own doing. The world is a projection of our thinking. So when we understand our thinking, we understand the world. When we are at peace within ourselves, the world is at peace. When we love ourselves, there is clarity in our mind and through clarity we can see that all is good. We are all absolutely safe, and there are no mistakes in the Universe.
Blessings!
