Decluttering……

 

I have always believed in the benefits of recycling and I am also the type of person who likes a clean, and relatively tidy living environment. I also think that to some extent, too much clutter and too much mess burden and distract us from dealing with deeper stressors and issues. On the other hand, obsessive cleanliness and tidiness can also distract us from pressing and urgent issues of the heart. Moreover, some people are highly creative in messy environments and others are weighed down by the disorder, and cleanliness and tidiness are also learnt ways of being and influenced by familial and cultural values. Some cultures may value these qualities more than others; for instance in Japan, tidiness, decluttering and cleanliness are valued more than in other cultures across the world perhaps.  Read more ..

Seven pitfalls of dealing with emotional detox reactions by Niki Gratrix,                                                                                            https://www.nikigratrix.com/healing-emotions-dealing-with-emotional-detox-reactions

‘Resoving emotional trauma can be the key step to experiencing limitless energy. Howevr, lower emotions such as resentment, grief, sadness and anger will surface to be released during the cleansing process. In the West many people expect ‘insant healing’ and believe that for something to be working there should be the immediate absence of all physical and emotional discomfort. More often than not, this is not how real emotional or physical healing occurs’

Quotes from Lodro Rinzler’s book: The Buddha Walks into the Office: A Guide to Livelihood for a New Generation 

‘People deal with all sorts of obstacles at work. There is the fear of failure, plus confrontations with mindless bureaucracy, with other people’s egos, with your own ego, with unethical practices, with incompetence, and a wide variety of issues related to race, gender, and sexual orientation’

‘When you devote yourself to being true, you are connecting with the most intimate part of who you are and putting it on display. You are making your basic goodness available to those you work with, and they will likely be inspired to see that. As you exhibit the steadfast presence, the stable power, and the genuine warmth of being true, people will grow to trust and respect you. You will be able to lead with skill, supported by your coworkers and colleagues’

1) ‘Your cultural context has a profound impact on your thinking, behaviour, beliefs, and ultimately your health and energy levels, as well. A culture is a way of life of a group of people, including the behaviours, beliefs, values and symbols they accept, generally, and without thinking about them and are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next’, Niki Gartrix

THE BEAUTY OF A ‘NO’

“On the Tree of Life
there are two birds, fast friends.
One bird eats the fruit of the Tree;
the other bird, not eating,
watches…” – The Rig Veda

‘It is good to stay open to feedback from others, to listen to those who disagree with you. To remain open to alternative viewpoints. To try seeing things through someone else’s eyes, even if you don’t agree with their perspective or conclusion, in the end.

But when they cross a line and move from intelligent disagreement and constructive feedback to attack and insult, when they belittle and shame you and remain unwilling to meet, to engage and talk things through, that is something very different indeed……………………..

A clear and direct ‘no’ to abuse, to name-calling and objectification, is not weakness but the ultimate courageous act of self-love. The ‘no’ honours life deeply. It has no venom in it – it is quite compassionate in its essence. It does not shame the other but informs them. It does not attack but protects. It is fire but it does not throw stones……………………….

We can only speak our truth Now, hopefully in as compassionate a way as possible, and move on. And trust the process. And breathe through our feelings. And remain open to the other’s tender heart, whilst protecting our precious, vulnerable human selves…….’
