PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

For the first time in my life, I understand what it feels like to complete myself.  I need no other’s love to feel good about myself, and no other is needed to fill the void in my heart. I want to change my life and want a better life for myself not for others or to please others. We cannot do spiritual work for others or to please others.  When we do, it is called dependency or attachment.  When we pursue our own truth, we come to understand this very clearly.

While I was assisting a glass artist in her studio while blowing hot glass, she said to me that my smile and positive attitude are infectious.   When she said this to me today, I realize that I radiate love and joy from my heart. I told her that I was not always like this way, and in fact just a short time ago,  I was bitter, angry, and very negative. This love and joy can be felt by everyone around me, and others can feel it is genuine from my heart.

It is only after I released so much of my pain and hurt within, giving up attachment and dependency to people, things, and outcomes, and began to accept the truth about my ego’s needs and my hurtful life that I finally have manifested what I had dreamed about as a child.  I prayed often for a better life.

This is all very new to me, since I only recently made these changes and progress.  True joy and bliss come from our hard work and facing our darkness. The other night while having dinner with a friend, I told her about what I have accomplished in my emotional release, codependency, and ego work in the past two years.  Her response was, I am not doing this for two years, and facing all the unpleasant things in my life that I never want to think about again.  My responds to her was, you will need to do this for the rest of your life if you want to have a better and more joyful life.

Spiritual work requires some fearlessness and courage, but the benefits are life changing and beyond description, and only can be truly understood when experienced.  It is one of the miracles of life to experience such a transformation. ~ Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
