There are so many subtle levels of life. When we are in the midst of it, we miss out on all the hues and tinges in the colors of our dailylives. I have my phoneset up so I can pick up my blogs on it so I refer to it to see if anybody is out there listening.
I then caught up in the truth of my spirituall living. I look back and wonder how I got here. There have been many weird turns and bumps in my road. What a long strange road it has been. Simple things have caused changes I could never have seen coming.
A chance knock on our front door from a new local chiropractor making cold calls for new customers. It ended up taking the family to the workshop Understanding Yourself and Others based on the teachings of Adler, a colleague of Dr. Freud. I ended up working the workshop program for some ten years in the 1980's and worked through some very personal issues.
My first two or three years I worked through "anger" issuex. Now up to that point in my life. I had always said I never got angry because it was a wasted emotion. I soon found out it was more a frozen emotion in my body centered around my father. So it was the main issue in my first years during the weekend sessions. Only after releasing that process could I start to heal. It was tiny steps for a long time. Then I got to follow up gettting in touch with the rest of my approach to spirit.
I followed it up with a number of years building a rather successful hypnotherapy practice in downtown Sacramento. Every week I held sacred space for clients to do their own healiung. Every week there were miracles happening.
I followed up with a couple years of attending a weekly "Course in Miracles" group as we explored the lessons from the book. The healing continued and still does.
Now this only means I am now heading in different ares for we are always growing and healing if we continue to move forward. I've found one of the major parts of moving forward is to adopt a Buddhist philosophy. When something triggers me I have finally come to the point I take specific steps. I ask myself 'what is happening here. I adopt the role of the Buddhist observer. Then as the observerI take a look instead of being swept away by the toronad of trigger. It has helped. If we can but ask that question, we can avoid having a major trigger occur and then find ourselves a few days later looking around and wondering 'what happened?'
So be of curious mind and question what is happening rather than being swept away. In this way, you have some focus on where the flow trigger can take you. God bless spirit for giving us the opportunity to respond instead of react. Then uncovering a trigger place will lead to a response instead of reaction........It becomes a mindful practice!
