What the Mind Sees, The Body Creates

Fears, they potentially are the biggest gold nuggets

Listen Later

Fears, those feelings, and thoughts triggered that remind us of unpleasant and painful experiences.  The times when we felt embarrassed, scared, ashamed, guilty, not enough or not belonging etc.  These feelings, memories and thoughts show up so we don't feel or experience the same or familiar.  After all, who wants to feel less than, scared, inadequate etc.?  Yet, when we employ curiosity and are open to hearing the messages behind the feelings. The story was given as a way to protect ourselves.  When we learn 

  • who gave us these impressions, to begin with
  • why we chose to believe it to be true (family, culture, heritage, social norms etc.)
  • explore the story and consider its message and its relevance to the now, the current situations, experiences and people.

    • Being curious, and emotionally detached as possible, we can see things in a different light. We can make different choices and test newer ways of living based on the character we choose to become.
