Finding Solid Ground in Uncertainty

[@meloworx221]

Your video just popped up on my feed and I’m so glad I clicked on it. What you present here is a game changer for me in understanding and harmonizing with my emotions, as opposed to constantly running from or fighting them. The fact that emotions are completely natural, neutral, and accurate signals pointing us back to truth and peace, that they’re simply giving me feedback about the quality of my thoughts so I can CHOOSE wisely which thoughts to entertain and nurture. Wow, first time I’ve heard emotions explained in this way and it feels like the explanation I’ve been waiting for my whole life. Because all the attempts to tame emotions were only adding to the fear of them inevitably showing up again. That quote by (Syd Banks?) summarizes it perfectly. Thank you!

What a great analogy about not using our intellect! We are taught that our intellect is what solves problems!!! And if you can’t think of a solution then you’re not “smart.” But when you said we don’t need to use our intellect to solve or anxiety the same way you don’t use it to heal a broken bone.” That is perfect. Because “I” heal my broken bones, I mean the doctor may set it, and cast it, but “I” heal it. And it’s not with my intellect. It’s with my innate intelligence and innate body wisdom. Thank you Lily!

Sorry for my earlier comment.. because I m desperate for my life not to go to waste.. I wanna live.. i m 30 years old.. I have this fear cos this depression/empty feeling comes when I doing great in life.. I can't find any reason for it.. that makes me wonder "what's the point? " If its not in my control?.. what's the point in getting better if it's gonna come back automatically?.. and i don't know what triggers it.. I want to be normal,I want my mind to know i will be fine.. I want it to stop ruminating automatically and compulsively.. anything i do feels like a compulsion.. the moment I m alone my mind automatically starts ruminating when at present I m absolutely fine

Do you think there is any benefit to practicing mindfulness meditation? As it could possibly help in being more aware of your thoughts and emotions and not reacting to them as much

[@LilySaispeacefromwithin]

Meditation can be incredibly calming and relaxing. However, if you try to meditate during stressful or chaotic times, it can actually add to your stress. Or if you think you need to meditate and put pressure on yourself that will not be helpful. Natural wisdom suggests that understanding how our thoughts create stress is often enough to let go of that stress. When we realize this, we naturally shift into a calmer state.
