  • Being With The Unpleasant

    “Just think of all the things we do to avoid being bored….to avoid being lonely…as they are unpleasant….

    There is a great healing power that can take place when we are willing to open to the difficult aspects of our minds and our emotions.”

    Joseph Goldstein, Working with Fear, The Path to Insight, ~39 minutes,

     A couple quotes amongst an hour lecture on fear….doesn’t do it justice.  It’s a reminder to me that “it all belongs” (aka Richard Rohr) and my ability to “be with” the unpleasant allows integration.  Here is a link of personal reminders, and this lecture reminds me of my continued work on #8 & #9 for whatever it’s worth….  

     I find mindfulness meditation supports my intention to practice being with the unpleasant….if only for a moment.
