I don't believe we
always choose what happens to us. That includes our depressions. chronic illness, or our negative
experiences with other people. No one wishes to suffer, or be a victim to a bullying
insensitive critical judgmental person. We are often victimized by
negative people and situations. That does not make us "the victim". Some experiences
may be brought to us in order to grow.
However I don't believe we choose to suffer. Things happen to the best, kindest, most loving, light filled, well-intentioned people. It is not loving, supportive. or growth inducing to say "everything is a choice". I am writing this post, as a response to certain love and light communities who seem to feel --by simply putting on the crystal crown, and choosing to flow with ease, then all will be well and healed in our world.
Yes, I agree with many of my friends--- that shit happens. It is our way of responding to stress and difficulty that may make or break us. Following a program of sound diet, exercise, meditation, yoga, soothing music, supportive friends, being in nature all help to reduce the stress. Which brings a greater balance in one's mind body and soul.
There is a school of thought that says we create everything that comes to us...good or bad. I do not believe we "bring on" the bad stuff. However, when under stress/dark periods...I do recommend in my healing practice many natural modalities to help counteract the dark periods.
For a balanced mind body and soul..the following are just some of things I suggest. The power of prayer, positive thoughts, affirmations, aromatherapy, massage, walking in nature, speaking with a friend, psychotherapy, sun bathing, gardening, yoga, guided meditations, tree hugging, vitamin d, herbs. In addition, I would include--to find a creative expression that you truly love--such as writing, playing an instrument, painting/doodling.
By not seeking perfection in the process of creating--- becomes a pure and simple path towards self acceptance. With this self-acceptance, we are able to look within and sense our hearts beating as our own pure spirit. Then, perhaps, we may experience the external stresses as just birds flying above--and beyond the present reality of our lives.
May we all experience a new opening into our self-understanding, as we explore and choose wisely the paths to greater wellness and harmony with one's self.
