Rebirth !

We all tend to highlight big changes in our life and share our moments of glory and grief with our loved ones. We celebrate endings and new beginnings. We bring out a toast to the new born and the just married. We raise our glasses to the death and the divorced…

Now imagine : you’ve invited your family and friends for a drink…No one really knows the reason why you are throwing this party or what kind of news you are about to tell them…

But at a given moment you demand their attention and state :

“I have a confession to make…” All eyes on you off course…

“I’ve been deceiving all of you for quite a while now….” The curiosity of your public raises…

“All these years I pretented to be someone I wasn’t and I covered myself up to meet all your needs and expectations…” Rumors all over the place….

The guessing has started…A friend shouts : “Don’t tell ! I know ! You are coming out !”

You (kind of) ignore the tumult. You bring your audience back to silence, raise your glass and you continue your speech :

“Today I would like to bring out a toast to life ! Real life ! I mean : Life as it was meant to be. Today I invite all of you to celebrate the birth of a new me.”

Auntie Claudia already gives you that look as if you’re coming from Mars. Some of your cousins start quarreling : “What the hell is she talking about ?”

Uncle Bill displays his wisdom : “Have you lost your mind, girl ?”

“Well, uncle Bill now that you come up with it. It actually feels quite liberating !”

Some have lost their tongues, unable to speak ; all they can do is stare at you…

Courageously you continue :

“It means that I am putting an end to my self-inflicted pain and I now choose to go pain-free. I no longer sustain the belief in my negative thoughts. They can no longer count on my participation, I let them go and choose truth instead.”

“It means I am stripping off the lies that I have been told and I no longer resist or deny my own creative powers. I no longer put effort in things that cause me to move away from my essence, leaving me in pain.”

“It means that today I choose life instead of death and I clear my perception of anything that is less than perfect. I now transcend the long time trauma inflicted on me.”

It means I am completely free from the shackles of the past and choose to live in the eternal now !”

What’s the pressure ?

Something is wrong with me ! I am going crazy ! My buttons are being pushed ! Why can’t I cope with life ? What is this pressure ?

You often ignore the first signs of unease or illness your body is sending you. For years you go on living your life on auto mode. In the meantime you get very creative in giving life to different identities so you are able to “operate” in this world, preferably with as less pain as possible !

From monday to friday you are person A, except the evenings at home, where you turn into person B, then from friday evening till monday morning you turn into person C…

In your weekend, in this limited amount of spare time, you try to recharge your batteries, but all you do is exhausting yourself even further ! And again you get busy with unimportant things : you go shopping for useless things and you party all night long ! On sunday you stay in bed, trying to digest your hangover !

Then monday morning a new repetitive cycle starts all over again; endlessly ! Untill one day, you simply feel it is enough, you simply can’t cope anymore ! There’s the nerveous break down or the severe illness, completely shutting off your human plant !

You find yourself depressed, burned out, stressed, exhausted, you have ADD or ADHD, high blood pressure,…you start putting names on your conditions, you are not only tagging your imaginary boxes, you start identifying with them !

Instead of finding out what causes the pain, you start taking pills to ease you off your pain. But all these drugs seem to do is to numb you down even further, forcing you to hide your pain, to throw away the key to this box and to hide it somewhere in your system,….never to be found again !

What if pain, any pain, mental or fysical is just a resistance to your natural self ? What if this pain just means you are out of course, out of alignement with your naturel self ?

Could it be that you are in pain because society is pushing you in some kind of direction without you being aware of it ? A direction that is not yours…

What if you feel deep down in your core, that the way the world goes isn’t that natural after all ?

What if you are sane in an insane world and you just keep blaming yourself for not being who you really are ?

As Laura sings : You will know in the end that this is fiction. It’s in your mind ! Live your life instead ! So tell me what’s the pressure ?

Loosen up !

“Pain is friction, to put it on a simple terminology; resisting the natural flow of yourself as an aspect of the Infinite.”

Bashar

Every time you focus on a problem, every time you put a negative meaning on a situation and you feel bad, you create tension and resistance in your body.

Trying to control or fix the problem is like keeping the arrow on the bow tensed. Your body stays stressed and contracted !

It takes a lot of energy to keep that tension alive, it takes effort to sustain this. It’s a constant battle and many of us are doing this on a daily basis !

You deplete your energy because you are building up the stress levels in yourself.

You refuse to listen to your body to see what is really going on…You feel weakened, sick and in pain…Until at one point your body can’t take it any more and it shouts : “STOP !”

Stop putting your focus on the things you don’t want to experience !

Stop projecting your fears on your mind’s eye !

Stop giving the wrong commands to your body !

The pain is the catalyst for growth and change. It forces you to question yourself to see what is really the cause of that pain !

Once you find what causes the friction and you let go of the tension, see how far the arrow will reach….

“All control is an exercise by your mind to contract your existence into the smallest possible thing to ensure your survival and then shit happens ! The more you try to control the universe, the less you allow the universe to give to you !”
