Please join Samantha and Denise as they explore Alan Watts’ concept of the Backwards Law, which suggests that the more we strive for security and control, the more we may feel insecure and out of sync with our natural state.
Watts states that acceptance of our insecurities and negative emotions can lead to greater peace and authenticity, especially for empaths who often feel the weight of others’ emotions. The emphasis on the importance of self-compassion, the fluid nature of reality, and the need to integrate these insights into daily life for personal growth and emotional well-being are all concepts that support this theory of a backwards law.
Some aspects of integrating this law include: exploring the importance of embracing emotions, practicing self-compassion, and setting healthy boundaries all which foster acceptance and trust in the process of life.
We hope you find this helpful!
