Mmmm Mmmmm Good - The dangers of meditation

Lower body sensations-- yum !  Food, wine, women/men, sensuality.  What does that have to do with Spirituality ?  I see everything as the yin/yang sign. Everything has good and challenge in it.

As we meditate we increase our energy field and our sensitivities. We can see, feel, or hear Spirits, Ancestors, Mother Earth and revel in it. Our lower body sensations will also increase and we are tempted to seek out Earth Pleasures above and before our Spiritual Ascension. We abandon friends for fame, drink rather than meditate, lie to keep the peace rather than seek to deepen through honesty, etc.

There is a thin line here. As we evolve, so does temptation. Like the yin/yang sign, the dark and light are always in balance here on Earth as part of our Journey is a constant choice between temptation and ascension.   They are not mutually exclusive, but rather a sophisticated balancing act as we strive for detachment. We learn to enjoy Earth without becoming trapped by desires. Easy to say, not so easy to do.

Detachment does not mean being numb, or not caring. It means we live for Surrender and Acceptance to Spirit first, and whether or now we eat cake is secondary. Our sense of contentment and joy is no longer dependent on Earth Plane externals (which we cannot control but we can pursue as a distraction)  but rather relies on our deep intimate connection with our Soul Self and the energy of others. We can control that connection through the power we develop in cultivation. Our Soul and Spirit are ALWAYS available.....if we keep the door open through our practice.  The pursuit of Spirit, unlike the pursuit of Earth desires and sensations, always ends in joy, growth, harmony, serenity, miraculous miracles, humor, compassion, and inspiration. The choice is yours..... every day..... every minute of the day.

Trauma Bonding in Friendships

Image
Trauma bonding in friendships Signs of Trauma Bonding When you continue to be fixated on people who hurt you and who are no longer in your life. When you crave contact with someone who has hurt you and who you know will cause you more pain. When you continue to revolve around people who you know are taking advantage of you or exploiting you. When you are committed to remaining loyal to someone who has betrayed you, even though their actions indicate few signs of change. When you are desperate to be understood, validated, or needed by those who have indicated they do not care about you. When you go to great lengths to continue to help, care-take, or consider people who have been destructive to you. There is a constant pattern of nonperformance. Your friend or partner continues to make promises only to break them consistently. There might be a boatload of apologies however there is no change in their act

Wong Loh (Huang-Lao): The Teacher

Image
Dr. Marie is an Initiated Student who has been with Wong Loh Sin See since 1986 . While she has studied many other modalities (shamanism, pagan, remote healing systems, nature spirits, crystals, life between lives regressions, animal communication, psychic talents, oracle cards and more) she considers Wong Loh her primary Teacher and with great respect and gratitude incorporates his philosophies and methods of meditation into all of her teachings and work with Students as well as Healings. You will see in these writings this "warning": No one else can claim to be assisting the Teacher as his representative. The Teacher himself is the only one who can make this acknowledgement. Both Wong Loh and Leong Tan have publicly acknowledged (in workshops and retreats) Dr. Marie's teachings and students in her area were instructed to continue their development by studying with her if they desired to eventually initiate with Wong Loh . The material presented here is the o

The Wounded Vulnerable Narcissist

Image
The Wounded Vulnerable Narcissist Many people are very self-critical and most, while acknowledging   they might indeed feel this way “sometimes”,   seem to be reluctant to do any work on these feelings or behaviors, other than “being positive” about themselves. And usually this means that “being positive” is the generic feel good kind of “thing” rather than being specific and realistic. Generic feel good statements (given either through self –talk or as complements from friends and new age teachers) are really not useful other than a quick hit of feel good emotions and perhaps as a distraction from some current uncomfortable emotions or challenges. For some reason, people seem to feel that if they actually go into their feelings, rather than continuing to bury them and attempting to live on top of what will become a self-perpetuating swamp land, that they are now being “negative” or perhaps will in fact “manifest” negativity (all the new age nonsense jargon).   People speaking in
