Hey @ladyofliberty I haven't seen you live before have watched half will watching again when I'm home on the wifi. Hope all is well in your realm
Sorry I know this is a late reply but thank you! All is well. I hope you are as well @neddykelly :)
Just beautiful, Regan. I was truly touched by how honestly you revealed what you've been feeling deep inside. Even more than the desperately-needed understanding you've offered, the authenticity and humility you embody speak to people on a heart level.
There's so much here, but I won't impose upon your patience - or that of your readers - by sharing all that this post inspired. I would like to draw attention to one particular idea, however, as it's rarely mentioned, and vitally important...
You spoke of the pitfalls the mind can present - the dark places it will take us to - and warned against "playing that game", as it can be difficult to return if that course is tread too far. You're counselling conscious awareness, and warning against the temptations of erosive thought patterns. This message is not to be overlooked.
Do not play fast and loose with your own sanity
Like swimming in deep waters, the time to move closer to shore is while you still have your strength - before you feel like you're in trouble.
Willingly indulging fear, self-pity, negative expectation, etc., is a dangerous game. By the time you realize you're in too deep, your desperation can make you blind to the way out.
But the way out is ever-present, as you have noted. Peace is here now, stretching out its healing hand in every moment, if only we can calm our inner turmoil long enough to claim it.
@bbblackwell Thank you so much! Sorry for the late reply, I fell off for a second. But I really appreciate your well-written and thought provoking feedback.
"Do not play fast and loose with your own sanity"... exactly. Too true. Yet, so easy to let yourself get blindly pulled by environmental factors like a floating cork in the ocean. It's definitely worthwhile to accept the suffering of self-work voluntarily rather than to deny it until a hard situation makes you have to face it.. whilst having to deal with the extra suffering of whatever the situation may be.
Thanks again for your insightful feedback, it is always appreciated and I'm glad to connect :)
hii frnd......nice video.....i am your new frnd......379.......support back please.....
Definitely thought provoking. I think the current mindfulness movement is something to grab a hold off. Many people put it down to hippy shit but it will be vital to survive in the coming future. Loving the post keen them coming 💯🐒
Agreed @vibeof100monkeys and thank you! Love the username by the way haha.
There seems to be a lot of trendy new agey stuff happening that is certainly just that.. trendy, and empty. But aside from the mere hollow hippy shit there is definitely lots of vital meaning and substance in mindfulness and other such self-discovery works indeed :)
