Serenity Now! The Emotional Challenges of an Early K

[Guest guest]

One of the main challenges for somebody whose K is becoming active is

to handle one's own emotions properly. Fear, anger, depression,

anxiety, etc. may become particularly strong as the K starts moving

through the subtle body, shaking up years and years of sedimented

emotions.

 

A regular meditation practice can help. Most importantly, it's

fundamental to realize that emotions are not " us, " and there is no

need for us to identify ourselves with them. Emotions are energies

that can run through our system or flow away from it, and will stick

to it only if we allow them to. Developing the Witness helps: 24/7

critical and yet compassionate awareness of how (and why) we react to

situations the way we do. The Witness also entails the determination

to forgive ourselves (and others, of course) and then move on, always

trying to do better without dwelling on past mistakes.
