Awareness

~One of my most cherished teacher, mentor and an extraordinary Healer, John Schultz said to me once, "Its just information and an opportunity to become more self aware"~

"This pain is not to make you sad, remember. That's where people go on missing...This pain is just to make you more alert--because people become alert only when the arrow goes deep into their heart and wounds them. Otherwise they don't become alert. When life is easy, comfortable, convenient, who cares? Who bothers to become alert? When a friend dies, there is a possibility. When your woman leaves you alone--those dark nights, you are lonely. You have loved that woman so much and you have staked all, and then suddenly one day she is gone. Crying in your loneliness, those are the occasions when, if you use them, you can become aware. The arrow is hurting: it can be used. The pain is not to make you miserable,the pain is to make you more aware! And when you are aware, misery disappears" ~Osho

~In my personal practice of life, every experience continues to deepen my awareness of myself and how I relate to others. Sigh...In the wisdom of self awareness the energy we continue to obstruct within ourselves allows our mind, our wounds, and our illusion to consume us. I have learned not to take things personally in the walk of life, but also have had the humility to allow myself to become more self aware, At times I do have the occasional learning disability....some experiences are on repeat! There is nothing like the R's: Reflect, Renew, Reclaim, Rejoice, Release....These words have always brought me to a grounded peaceful place as they continue to teach me how the cycles of life are alive within me and that nature auto corrects and makes the necessary changes to evolve and survive. As a energy medicine practitioner, our energy centers "chakras" and energy channels "meridians" serve as communication from our bodies to our mental awareness. When we are ready to confront things mentally the energy that has been trapped and stagnant will create movement and transformation occurs. Energy follows thought  and our bodies are wise vessels that guide our emotions and mental state. Pain, anger, sadness, dis-ease is all information that is making its way from our subconscious to our current conciseness. When we are not ready, the energy will continue to be in excess or deplete itself within your body, but the body as a mindful guide will continue to send us signals until we 'get it'. Our environment will also do this by the lifestyle that we live and what we choose to create around us. Awareness deepens and we are constantly in flux and change.
