“The life which is unexamined is not worth living”  Plato

“Know thyself”  Socrates

“Hidden opposites will have their day: its what you don’t see that can hurt you”…..Dan Millman

Yes, I have been encouraged over the past 2 months of teaching our bi- annual oriental  psychology class to take a deep and conscious introspective gaze and illuminate the shadow. There has been joy, honesty, courage and growth all within this experience. The simple release of bounded energy that occurs with the ceasing of defending our self image is an opening to vitality, understanding , humility and compassion that makes the experience very worthwhile.

The identification of our ’self ‘ to life’s experiences rather than life itself is truly an ongoing consciousness  lesson,  that if not noticed can truly allow so much delusion to be mistaken as truths. The awareness of life’s movies and all the various roles we play depending in what channel we are presently tuned to  ….can truly allow us to step into each with the lightness and joy of a child.

One unveiling that came to me during a Zenthai body work session is the importance to tune to only one channel at a time. When we are in roles as friend, carer, helper, sister/brother, etc whilst also attempting to be a conduit of pure prana healing flow the experienced is definitely diminished. When the channel is finely tuned with one line of focus, the music and following  unhindered experience is potent, transforming and full of clarity. This honest examination of my practice will definitely have an impact on my following sessions.

Another unveiling that came to me during our study was the need to not label things as immoral or negative as this may lead us to sweep them under the carpet rather than expose some characteristics that can very often be turned around to be your fuel. Our anger, for example, can be pushed aside, thus not allowing our powerful, assertive warrior aspects to be expressed. Often this pushing aside will lead to an uncontrolled explosion that is destructive and hurtful for many.

A great teacher once said to me the quality of our life is dependent on the quality of the questions we ask ourselves. A reminder I share with you now.
