Transition Time! (I Welcome the New)

Slowly but surely I am leaving the old and welcome the new. Auw. I am sorry I had another tough but interesting day today. Some successful business people told me a hard lesson or two. Actually it was illuminating, but painful. Leaving the old, welcoming the new. When you loose someone special, a Mother or your Longest Love it hurts. It is important for me to feel this sorrow. Even when it is a small thing, like loosing some money or maybe get lost, it makes sense to see how this effects my mind and body. If I can freely experience the disappointment, this emotion will be replaced by an inner peace. Room for new emotions, new challenges, new thoughts, new creativity, new inspiration, new Love. Old pain kind of gets in the way, and grief allows me to create room for new experiences. Today I had some grief and I give myself room to experience it, in my own way at my own time, I am letting the old go and I welcome the new.

As a bodyworker I can totally see and support your choice to freely and fully experience your emotions. Only by allowing ourselves to have an experience can we move through it, otherwise it stays with us somewhere, until we deal with it. Experiences are all meant to be transforming for us, moving through us and moving us forward in our lives toward even more experiences. It is a sign that we are alive…grief and pain are also signs that we are alive. A little smile, a little gift at the same time as we cry and express the sorrow, sadness, pain, grief. It takes courage to let ourselves have all experiences in the same open way, the good and the bad. And then, when we no longer judge them as good or bad, and we see that they are all just experiences, then we can awaken a sense of curiosity as we notice the experience happening. And that ads yet another element of awareness to our consciousness…to become the seer, the witness, to our own lives and how we are living them, how we are making our choices, and how we are creating our future. Thank you for sharing. Namaste, Henrietta
Beautiful comment, Henrietta. I’m definitely inspired!
And Leendert, I so acknowledge you for consciously allowing yourself to grieve. I’ve found grief to be one of the purest and healthiest of emotions. There’s usually no other motive involved besides fully experiencing your loss, and letting go.
Know that I’m sending you lots of love & support.
Dear Leendert,
As I have you written to You earlier, a spiritual seeker should endeavour to surpass and conquer all sorrows and pains and griefs.
Sorrows and pains and griefs, when they are inevitable, can be transformed into Blessings, by rising above them, by conquering them, by having an inner surrender to and contact with the All Bliss, who is within all of us, but we have covered Him with our sorrows and griefs, angers and revolts, passions and desires and lusts.
We shall have to rise above our sorrows and griefs, for we have to always welcome Life and be happy and Joyous.
We are all children of the Immortal, the Ever-joyful, the One who is full of Ananda.
