Escaping!

 Our state of confusion makes us turn away from all the things we don’t like or are unwanted. What do we do when we face all those negative emotions and uncontrollable thoughts? When we have to deal with hopes and expectations of how we want things to be and they don´t work out. It seems we don’t know how to relate to the dynamic energy of mind, because it seems like an enemy to us. And we really only have two ways of escaping from all this state of violence and disorder: we can either exaggerate the experinece or we can deny it. When we exaggerate it, we see what  isn’t there. And when we deny it, we don’t see what is. 

So let’s start working deeply on these two aspects of our mind: exggeration and denial.

Come and join us in our next november 26th meeting to expand these interesting topics from the book: “The power of an open question” by Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel

Trying to change negative thoughts, patterns and attitudes is never easy… 

When we are in front of negative things, the first impression is darkness. But everything has two sides. We need to stop and see; we need to stop and breathe, we need to stop and reflect: What is it hidden? What is there to be developed? What do we need to learn?

If there is something negative, it means that there is something good on the opposite side. Let’s think about it and try to discover waht it is…
