Doing Good and Feeling Good: The Balance It is important to do things for ourselves that “feel” good. Play, physical joy such as making love, eating, meditations and Yoga are all food for the Soul for sure. Getting and giving complements, affirmations, and support are also good, and they feel good, both giving them and receiving them. “Doing good” for others, working at a soup kitchen, cleaning up trash, all of these activities can also be good for the Soul. However, as in all things on Earth, balance is key. The pursuit of happiness, out of balance, can become a habit to avoid deep issues, personal growth, Spiritual Evolution.

For them it was a huge wake-up call to realize how much fear and hostility they were

Ghosting Your Spiritual Teacher In the Eastern Traditions, one never leaves his/her Teacher. Pema Chodron stayed with her Teacher until his death, and then sought out another even though she was already a world renowned famous author and persona, and by the way, her Teachers were not. In other words, she was “better”, more famous even, then her Teachers yet she, gasp, stayed! In the USA, ambition tends to rule, not development and growth. And ambition often is translated into climbing onto the backs of others or even kicking down the ones that helped you, not always because of meanness and new-age ambition, sometimes from deep seated, even unconscious, insecurity. If you are insecure, you see threats and competition where there is none and like a frightened animal will lash out at others, causing harm, rather than seeing others as colleagues.
