PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

As I seek emotional healing and spiritual growth during my spiritual journey to transformation, I am very cognizant of whether my actions are due to true change within me or reacting to my hurt feelings.  This is important as genuine transformation cannot occur unless these changes are true changes to lead us to healing of our emotional landscapes.

When I take actions in my life, I try to be truthful to myself, and try to face my reality.  I do not rely on my mind, but seek my intuition about why I am doing something.  Frequently after we face rejection, criticism, or even threats, we want to react by striking back or retaliating.  I realize that there is a fine line between defending myself and retaliating.

The big difference is this. In defending ourselves when wrongly accused or threaten, we respond with factual statements without anger or defensiveness.  We simply state what we have actually done and our true intentions, and we also may admit that we could have done it better or in a nicer way.  It feels thoughtful.

Reaction to hurt feels knee jerk, and done without genuine contemplation or thought. When I react in a knee jerk manner, I always ask myself, why am I really doing this? Am I trying to get back at others for hurting me, or am I doing this because it helps me move forward in a healthier way on my spiritual path. Nine out of ten times, it is to get back at others for hurting my feelings.

When my actions are for true change and not out of reacting to hurt, I will transform into the person that I hope to become.  May true change transform your life, Brooke (Copyright 2014 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
