Detachment like forgiveness is Grace granted by Spirit after you do the hard work of learning how you're feeling. And being willing to feel those feelings so you can learn the lessons they are giving you.

We need to find a balance between growth and punishing ourselves because we think we are not enough as we are right now. Start where you are says Pema Chodron... And actually every spiritual path.

Most people in the west have no idea what it is to study with a True Teacher (Sat Guru) on an Eastern Path. Much of this material is from a chapter in the book Maharashi and me. the author studied with Maharashi for 22 years. He is the guru that bought transcendental Meditation to the West. In the last chapter of her book she talks about how she still loves her guru and how grateful she is for all that she learned and how difficult that Journey was. And how we Westerners define journeys as difficult because of our attachment to ego.

The ins and outs of self-healing. Active participation versus passive attendance

It's not what you do it's how you do it. It's the timing, it's the energy around it, it's your consciousness about your choice and your self-awareness. Many people are involved with self-indulgence or self-abuse rather than self-care. It is complex. Self-care also has to do with having parenting skills so that you can help yourself mature and handle the challenges of life and if you have no idea what healthy parenting looks like you will be unable to do this part of self-care until you learn.
