In obeservation of Independence Day and my first full week of blogging, every Friday will be Freedom Friday. A day when and a space where we can free our thoughts, emotions and laughter held captive all day, all week, all year in the name of Healing.
Let's get the ball rolling, this week, I have been on an emotional roller coaster of heartache. From one day to the next, I feel a myriad of emotions....Forgiveness, Unconditional Love, Hatred and Resentment. When I feel the latter, I instantly become overwhelmed with selfishness and self pity. I have always held myself in the highest esteem and treated myself as an exception to most people's rules. Although, this can be healthy in personal growth; it can be suicide in Spiritual growth.
When I fell self absorbed, I have made it a practice to begin a breathing exercise, centering Meditation and my Acceptance prayer. It's amazing how fast my self absorption fades away giving life to something greater than myself....Love.
In the event we lose track of Love, be sure self absorption is not too far behind. I have to admit I enjoy living in my head. It's very easy to maintain emotional intelligence when I don't have the capacity to give outside influences the energy they so desperately seek. It's not until this outside influence is your better half and you can't imagine being whole without Him, do you realize that you weren't as emotionally intelligent as you thought. Not as Spiritually grounded as before? Yet, you are, but you have to capitilize off of your moment to prove it to yourself.
In short, our lives are filled with highs and lows, successes and failures, fairytales and tragedies. Through it all, it comes down to making the most of these moments until we no longer experience extremes we live in duality.
What Freedom......
