156-Healing "Yourself" Part 6 - Buddhism in daily life

Healing "Yourself" Part 6 Good, you have come this far, karma seems to be sending you a message. So you are ready to take on the not-so-easy journey of at least attempting the painful healing process. What always helps are notes, for example in the form of a diary, or on a simple piece of paper. Here you can unload everything that is bothering you, give free rein to your feelings, this is where honesty begins. Write things down as they are, not as you would like them to be, life is not a concert of wishes. What has worked is to always ask yourself simple questions before taking notes, such as: Will I continue to heal? Where am I in the process? What's next for me? What am I stuck on? How am I doing, physically and mentally? We humans don't always act logically, often we hurt ourselves for reasons we don't even understand. Often we are dissatisfied with ourselves, our emotions go crazy, we get angry, frightened, indignant, angry and desperate. All emotions that we craft for ourselves, which according to Buddha are completely unnecessary and also useless. Nevertheless, we get entangled in them, can't help it, we are constantly thinking (with our ego) about our "situation", are in self-talk, demanding, wanting, wishing, cursing. None of it helps, nothing changes, only we get "bad" at it. Self-healing is such a thing, deep inside we already know everything about it, but we repress it, because we don't feel "well", or because we just can't think clearly, because we have buried our feelings under a pile of shards, from destroyed dreams, broken relationships, fears, worries and paranoia. To clear away all these shards requires strength, discipline and effort, without effort the process cannot be mastered. Every person can do this, but every person can also let "it" slide, continue to live in his illusions, maybe even be satisfied in the process, everyone is different, there are no generally valid rules for the human mind palace. Only those who want to grow (according to Buddha, by the way, we are not supposed to want anything) can set out on the journey, because we all need to heal, modern man is completely shattered, no longer knows where is up and where is down, because the senses are flooded, the panic reflexes come from evolution, only we can help ourselves. And one day then from the "well-being Buddhism" then becomes an awakening process. The way is the goal! I have clearly recognized the dangers contained in aging, illness, death, sorrow and defilement. - Buddha - honorary name of Siddharta Gautama - 560 to 480 before the year zero Copyright: https://shaolin-rainer.de (Please also download my app "Buddha-Blog English" from the Apple and Android stores)
