How many times have you questioned why we need to be cheerful and smiling all the time? I understand that sometimes it looks like a challenging task. All living things, including humans, experience the same stages of life as the universe was created. These stages are birth, maintenance, and death. According to Ayurveda, the world was created by light, motion, and destruction (Sattva/Raja and Tama). Knowing that we are a part of nature and this vast cosmos, as much as we should strive to always be joyful, appreciative, and smile, all stages required learning.This week I experienced a phase that I didn't think would last, and I learned that when you try to smile, be joyful all the time, and make others happy, often your true emotions, as well as your traumas, are played under the rug. You only realise this when you encounter a circumstance that forces you to lift that rug and look at what you left, or that you accumulated from other lives, or even hierarchically speaking, and with that you discover. The most crucial thing right now is to realise that you must embrace and accept every emotion you experience. Along with the stages of the universe's development, including birth, growth, and death. Because we have always been taught that suffering and destruction are negative things, when we talk about destruction (death), it sounds quite heavy. I'll now explain why it isn't. For introspection, recalibration, review, and to be able to prepare even better for the following cycles, destruction is vital. The same is true for the Doshas: There is no better or worse; all three, Vata (creation), Pitta (activity), and Kapha (destruction), are essential for cycles and our development as souls experiencing the physical body.
The most important part of all of this is to open new cycles and also identify the time to close them. We must respect and live through each phase. However, if you stay in some of these phases for too long, you must pay attention and figure out what is happening (and, depending on the situation, seek professional help). Otherwise, we stay the same, don't advance, and keep making the same mistakes while thinking we're acting morally because that's what we've lived and learned to be true. However, we are unaware of how crucial and essential this is to becoming better individuals. Some people are called to look inward, figure out what is happening, reconnect, and see what lessons may be drawn from it all. It's truly a technique for expanding consciousness, and we probably ought to have learned it when we were younger (remember, it's nobody's fault; it was the best we could get), because it helped us better grasp who we are and how to interact with you. In order to experience our emotions in a more conscious manner, we must first think before acting or reacting. This involves understanding why we are experiencing the situation we are in and seeking out the underlying causes of it, leaving the biological reaction of "fight/flight/freeze" for the "conscious/intuitive" reaction. Writing down how you're feeling or how your day was (in a diary or notebook) will help you start recognising and altering these biological reactions. Then, tell me about your experience.
I honour this calling and being able to share it with you, as well as my ancestors and archetypes.
With love
