Nothing like a powerful meditation group producing some really important life lessons in a very unusual way. Wisdom is all around us, often in the most unusual. We need to stop and listen, listen and observe the lessons.
Every time we meet another person in the house. This time he was in a room large and comfortable. It is a friendly move, with good people, and connect to nature feel. It also has a large golden retriever, high energy named Rudy, whoRule is in the basement or storage room, when we collect prohibited. This night was no different - Rudy was closed in the basement where the kids were watching TV and hanging.
Let the stage. Who is hosting the event each month is usually the person most concerned about unwanted noise, the kids fault and random outages. It 's just human nature. We all love and appreciate our collection and meditation time and do it "right." Then, with dogs and childrenhiding, we opened our circle and meditation.
felt about 2/3rds the way through our 30 minutes of silent meditation and try to hear one of the young children who sneak out of the cellar to use the toilet. The next thing you know ... Start Here Rudy attract young girl from the cellar and into the living room where there Sat takes a shoe and starts to cry and charging through the circle. E 'was caught quickly and in the closet.
SoWe listen to our whining Rudy meditation evil in the guest room back and feel the power of accommodation in our guest for the interruption. Over the last few minutes of meditation, the circle is the informal leader is something of a genius. They calmly informed us all that she had to leave, Rudy, and everyone was doing we just hold the space - this means that all of us to maintain our meditation, our presence and traction and allow only without Rudy Rudy breached itshim.
Here, the lessons really kicked in
We Do not Need Madness Engage
As my coach always says: "Just because someone knocks you have to answer." When you create more drama between us or request something from us, we can not choose to engage. Just because Rudy was demanding attention from person to person is frantically trying to appease everyone know we did not mean we should. In fact, when we met him where he was (expressedand desperately needs attention), we just poured gasoline on the fire.
Where and when you create drama or caught someone else? What would be different if you do nothing and let it be?
If we did not meet our needs in a healthy way, They Rule Us
This dog was in desperate need of love and attention, even if he has a loving home and comfortable. Rudy is often when companies are banned, and how many dogs spend the day working alone. Why didnecessarily wanted to be petted, played with them, and noticed that the charts of energy and demonstrative behavior. He wanted to be seen and recognized.
What I know from work I do is with the customer (and have done personally) that the identification of our unique needs and then comes up with a plan to meet in a healthy way is the key to be able to create a great life. Otherwise, we are at the mercy of our unmet needs. Unmet needsSelf-sabotage and despair to find a way to get them met so unhealthy. However, we will try to get our needs met - is natural and necessary. Choose to make an informed choice and healthy, so you are free from their chains.
If people want to remain present around us or our energy game to exit our space
Rudy calculated from the store, grabbed the other one (my new damn!) And began looking for attention from every person individually. Turning circle above andon speed as a lunatic in a cell. We all continue to keep the room calm and balanced energy mix. How can we do that gradually began Rudis energy continued to decline. Has received less hyper alternate between the less frantic, and eventually I sat quietly with us, if we waited long enough.
People (and animals) indicates the energy of their environment and in it. It is always a choice about how you present at all times and how much energybring to it.
Trying to please others or worry, what they think is unnecessary and painful
What will people think of my dog? I really want other people to be happy in my house. As the host, it is my turn to ensure that people get what they came for, or I will be a failure. The weight of the world on my shoulders and all I really want to do is make others happy. Sound familiar?
This meeting was just another reminder of how futile attempts to control otherExperiences. You can not make someone else happy. It is not possible for anyone to experience that one hopes they have. In fact, you can "do" something for other people. The people who work from their own experience and in their best interest. Period. All these concerns and the desire to please people, really vain, and finally, full of suffering.
The antidote? Service and care for others with clean intentions, compassion and an open heart. The rest is as simple as flapsbe.
Really accepting the decisions we are liberated
Are you really OK with the decisions you made? If you think you are ... Here's a little test. Ask yourself - I keep thinking about or afraid of what people think my decisions? If so, you are not completely accept it!
Rudy is a typical family dog and has since been formally trained. That's how she deliberately chose the approach of pet ownership. But this little episode when Rudy has brought to light, myFriend was not exactly 100% OK with her choice or she would be at all affected by what we and others thought of her dog. If we have a choice, but then make a preliminary pile on us, because we hold ourselves hostage to our decisions and our assumptions about what others think. We beat ourselves and ourselves as "minor."
That's the nice thing about animals - Rudy is not limited by its decisions. He does not care if I do not like dog kisses or not. He is completelyAll About Me put on me. He did not care that Kim was still meditate - he struck her with his "Happy Dog" cock and dribbled like a kid with his first ice cream cone.
Now I'm not saying to live and make decisions in a "Fuck the world" attitude. Absolutely not - we are all connected, and every choice we make has a ripple effect throughout the world. But if you make an informed decision and must do this by going into your inner wisdom and a genuine compassion for the world as a ... andthen let go - is all I can do. The rest is opinion and suffering.
The richness of Living vs. Thinking
I like to think and learn. I could in my maze inevitable. But I also know that we can think about death and our left brain may be our biggest enemy at times. For this reason, these meetings are so appreciated. There is always an experience. E 'to reflect and to develop and was unconscious. I know intellectually most of these lessons from Rudypay in my life? Absolutely. But the evening really showed the power to do something right before our eyes and see what we take for granted or dismiss any other way. Through the illumination of the lessons we can live stronger and more powerful. And that Mr. Rudy - my deepest gratitude for the lessons.
