The Spiritual Foundations of Mental Health

We can feel gripped by internal distress as if there's actual and present danger threatening us - from out there, from our past, from some circumstance.  But those flashing alarms are part of a sound and light show built in to the design of life.  Watching their ebb and flow reminds of the liberating truth - there is only one, single source to our psychological experience. 

How not to get worn out, frustrated, and exhausted with moods.

How silly would it be to attempt to control the weather outside?  It is similarly silly to wrestle with the weather inside your own mind.  

What if freedom was not about being able to get and do whatever you want, but the ability to be with whatever is?  That's a powerful place to live and choose and it's possible.

We get invested in perspectives about our lives, relationships, and futures that can feel super stressful.  As far as we're concerned, we are simply feeling reality itself.  Good news - it is human to be mistaken.  We are feeling the world and our lives through a flow of thought/energy that is often not noticeable to us yet is shaping our experience moment to moment.  In this understanding is a door to psychological freedom.
