Inner Freedom
This incarnation can be both
beautiful and challenging. So
many things outside ourselves vie for our attention and energy. Family, jobs,
relationships, and society itself, can tax our emotions and deplete our
resources, mentally, energetically, and spiritually. If we do not have methods for
self-regulation, healing, and release we will be exhausted, miserable, and
eventually, be imprisoned in our own suffering. Even if our outer world seems
fine, external sources of validation and success will ultimately never bring us
happiness and peace of mind.
So, sometimes we have to look deeper at what it is that fulfills us and
brings us joy or what it is that is hindering us from living our best
lives. This work is an inner job.
Not
always pleasant, not always immediate but if there are things that are
uncomfortable within us, we have to go inside to address them. It’s the inner
world where our wounds and seeds of imbalance live and so we have to return to
the roots to identify, examine, and heal them. Most importantly, all of this work
has to be done with a mindset of understanding, compassion, and patience. All beings want to feel safe,
respected, and loved so the process should always be non-judgmental and kind in
this process of uncovering truths.
Two elements that are essential in
supporting this work are meditation and mentorship. This process is always beneficial when done with
support from others who have experience in this work and have our best interest
at heart but ultimately it needs to be done by ourselves for ourselves.
Then we can be inside a prison or
outside in the world and still have a sense of peace and Inner Freedom
