When Suffering Knocks on the Door of Your Life
How do we overcome that which brings us suffering? Those moments in our lives when feelings and thoughts arise to upend our happiness and peace. Suffering is a resistance to what is and shows up as something that we do not want or do not like, and to the mind is the thing we must get rid of, or run from. Our triggered thoughts rally in force to tell us we must not face this feeling of misery or look into its seeming darkness for fear that we will lose ourselves in it and be destroyed by it. We must move far away from it and seek to find happiness and peace, and gain control instead. If we sit with suffering, however, we find it is the gravitational pull back to our heart, and back to our true nature. It shows us where we are lost, and that which is still in misery within us – and asks again to be seen, heard, and loved – beckoning us to come back to our true nature of love and wholeness.
