We can all agree that the ‘most intense yet unaware relationship’ we all have is the one with ourselves. No one gave us the guide book or the manual to control our mind. This made our relationship with ourselves difficult and “hard and comprehend”. Just imagine that for a second. The only entity in the world that we have direct access and control over is the one that we do not know how to organise and control. We are excellent at organising and controlling things outside of us. Is that not strange?
Anyhow, let us come to the point. One of the worst and devastating consequences of an unorganized mind is how we end up “holding onto emotions” without our awareness. We accumulate events and situations from the past to the extent that it starts showing up on our physical body. Up until a few years ago, I was not even aware of the accumulation of thoughts and situations my body was holding onto. I realized that though I am inherently a joyous human, my body is in a very rigid state many times. Without my awareness,
my head gets tight
my fists clutch tight
my shoulders shrug tight and
anxiety sets in (even when I am alone and in a non-threatened environment)
I knew that something had to die to make room for something fresh to grow.
