All inner resistance is experienced as negativity in one form or another. All negativity is resistance. In this context, the two words are almost synonymous. Negativity ranges from irritation or impatience to fierce anger, from a depressed mood or sullen resentment to suicidal despair. Sometimes the resistance triggers the emotional pain body
Music bypasses the conceptual mind. Music does not give you food for thought...
Attention is the key to transformation- and full attention also implies acceptance.
Stillness is your essential nature.
If your mind is still... You can sense the peace that emanates from the earth.
Once you see what you are doing or have been doing, you also see its futility, and that unconscious pattern then comes to an end by itself. Awareness is the greatest agent for change.
Silence is helpful, but you don't need it in order to find stillness. Even when there is noise, you can be aware of the stillness underneath the noise, of the space in which the noise arises. That is the inner space of pure awareness, consciousness itself.
Become intensely conscious of the present moment.
Don't quote the Buddha. Be the Buddha.
Whenever you interact with people,don't be there primarily as a function or a role,But as a Field of conscious Presence
Many people live habitually as if the present moment were an obstacle that they need to overcome in order to get to the next moment, and imagine living your whole live like that. Always, this moment is not quite good enough because you need to get to the next one.
Non- reaction is not weakness, But Strength!
So do not be concerned with the fruit of your action-just give attention to the action itself. The fruit will come of its own accord.
