Pain can be caused by many things, triggers that activate such responses stem from who we think we are, our old conditioned patterns and our ways of being. Relationship to self, others, the environment within and external to self. Attitude to work, money, lifestyle there are many factors. To be free we have to look deeply at ourselves. At a certain point without doing this nothing truly new can come into being and there is a perpetuation of the same old patterns revamped with a different facade. Only when we really work through and complete the old can we be available to the new and it to us in a dynamic reciprocation.
Be not afraid to look within as this is a place from which you can grow. Meet ourselves that is the many aspects of what is perceived as self. Only you can define it, as one sorts the wheat from chaff, ones own feelings, emotions from others imposed or otherwise absorbed like a sponge. If we resist this endeavor of meeting the self or what we perceive as self on all levels of what one understand as self, being; whatever we are trying and one must try, attempt to transcend to access peace, harmony, even self love, confidence, clarity of understanding. Be it through meditation, mindfulness a buzz word many use and do not understand. Yoga, Tai chi are moving meditations, almost anything one does can be a meditation, done consciously with good thoughts, good words good deeds. This pattern from Zoroastrians is a viable template to being in a flow state.
Resistance to doing the inner work, looking at the shadow self, neglected inner child, the reluctant hero or heroine afraid to rise and is the continual victim of ones inner emotions born from trauma,misunderstandings, warped empathy, over kindness, neglect, abuse, anxiety, immaturity in brain development. Frozen in time born fears. The things that ail you will keep surfacing, presenting in a different manner as fear as many faces that require attention. Mental hygiene is crucial for a harmonious lifestyle and well being of all.
To be free from entrapment in this unconscious loop of resistance and spiritual by passing, constantly hurting self, others and falling at what is experienced as a set back, seeing a empty / half empty glass or consumed with playing the victim, bored card, entitled card, loneliness and all associated fears. Learn to see the light in the dark, understand ones self, All can rise like the lotus from the mud. The phoenix is born from the flames to be the best version of what is perceived as self. To eradicate pain, radiate, shine and be sovereign.
This why the Sufi twirl. As they spin traditional way right hand to the sky and left hand to the earth. Connecting above and below, within and without ones self. It activated a body, chariot of light called the Merkabah generating light. This light is trans formative, formed from the two counterclockwise tetrahedron structures similar to the star of David. It is a universal symbol used anciently and in these times called modern day. The high priestess card of the Tarot deck also called Murshiddah is the symbol representing the pillar of light generated by the active Merkabah. In Babylon mythology it is the Hegalu vase overflowing with this liquid light.
As the Sufi twirls, spins inward traditionally, the chakra bodies are cleared, the light generated nourishes all in the vicinity of the Sufi auric dance in a state of flow. There are certain protocols or etiquette a Sufi adheres to, so the energy generated is beneficial for all to enjoy. Different orders of Sufi have their own etiquette and ways of performing this ecstatic dance in the presence of what Rumi called The Beloved. The Sufi twirls to keep The Perpetual Lamp Of Wisdom Forever Burning On The Alter Of Truth In The Treasury Of The Heart.
