Guru Rattan: Reply Negativity/Clearing

[Guest guest]

Dear Christine:

 

I used to spend much time looking at the past. But after doing this

for many years I met Yogi Bhajan. A new perspective started to emerge

for me. He did not give much importance to processing. Instead he

gave much importance to experiencing, accepting, remaining neutral

and to doing one's sadhana. All this with the mantra: " keep up and

you shall be kept up. "

 

Whenever you look to the past to explain something you are

experiencing now, you become mentally involved with the problem, but

you stop the flow of experience.

 

To me anger and any emotion is an opportunity to discover something

new about me. That process heals the past without analysis!

 

This is the way it goes: When you experience anger, forget where it

comes from, forget it is called anger, and simply feel what your body

is going through. Anger is simply a storm the body is going through

because new information is coming in that confronts old habits. It

may come from something rude someone says or a belief someone

expresses that challenges yours, or something someone does not do...

it does not matter. This confrontation may feel painful and may bring

up old pain. But those aren't going to help you. Feel them and allow

your focus to remain with your physical experience. Allow these old

experiences to be released by acknowledging them and allowing

yourself to experience the physical, simply feeling what the body is

going through without judgment and allowing peace to come on its own.

 

You will understand the beauty of this approach when you allow it to

unfold. And your life will start transforming at a quicker pace as

you become better at it. This is what flowing with life is. And when

you flow with life you are no longer stuck!

 

Blessings,
