Slay your demons - how to purfiy the mind
SLAY YOUR DEMONS ~
When you come into feelings of resistance and unease, you're onto something! Don't run, stand firm and face your demon.
It's showing you a kink in your armour, a trigger left undealt with, an attachment still clung onto, an opportunity to be free within.
To face it, first, acknowledge it's presence and then, give it thanks for showing you what is ready to be cleared.
When the demon is upon you, do not move, do not react!
Be still and become fearless. Use breath to help you. No matter what happens do not react, smile and let it swirl around you. Be prepared to sit as long as it takes.
Eventually, the demon's energy will run out (because you do not feed it) and all its fear and fury will dissolve into nothingness, never to return...
This is the way of purifying the mind.

What an exciting way to write about meditation’s internal struggle, I’ll follow for more. I’m also writing on meditation, feel free to check out my blog and my followed list for more writers that may have useful resources. Enjoy!
Beautifully expressed Michael, clear and precise.. must be all that meditation :)
May I promote this post in my next one about dealing with negativity?
Coming from someone who exploits his infant son in post about pornography and spread conspiracy theories like PizzaGate? Yeah, I don't think you have much credibility on negativity, Keni.
