Healing E-Class #20 Growing Through The Experience of Suffering
When one reads something like this there is a tendency to wonder, do I need to have more suffering in my life in order to become a realized being? No, suffering is built in to life. There is no need to look for more. How one allows oneself to go/grow through the experience of suffering will tell the tale. Can you reach out for help? Can you reach inside your heart to question if there is something you need to do in this situation to heal it? Can you ask yourself what is your right attitude at this time? Can you put yourself in the hands of the Divine when it is time? Can you remember that this too will pass, and hold on, be steady, be patient, look ahead to the end of the tunnel? Sometimes the challenge is not in doing spiritual practice, but in applying it opening oneself to the difficult questions or providing some boundaries where there are none (saying no), or just admitting that something is happening, and letting it be.

A meditative practice:
Move your head in a circle, beginning with the head facing the left shoulder, then circling down and around, sweeping past the left knee, the right knee, the right shoulder and ending with the face upward: As the head swings around think/feel that you are in an ocean of love/light/life. Pause, opening yourself to the Divine love/light/life. Let the head drop, your attention going to your center, and open yourself to be touched by that Divine love/light/life if you have a question that has been plaguing you, place it in your hands before you. Let your head rise and feel your heart you might feel it as a crystal, or a purifying fire, or radiance, or love or something else. And you could remember that your heart has taken one step as it evolves in love, light and life.
