Hi,
This question - ‘Do I clean up and wake up? Or, do I wake up and clean up?’ - comes up a lot in my one-on-one conversations.
The way I see it, there isn’t one answer to this question that fits all.
So, Julie and I sat together to explore this question. We certainly don’t have any ultimate answers.
In my experience, seeking came to an end when I stopped looking for anything in my experience to be different from what it is, and a huge part of the journey was not about getting rid of anything but about being with what is as it is without trying to do anything about it.
Whatever was pulling me into suffering or had a grip was revealed by being with emotions I didn’t want to feel or thoughts I didn’t want to have - not away from thoughts or emotions. It is also how whatever had a grip, was released. It was never about getting rid of anything. It was the opposite - it was about feeling everything fully.
Our conversation is available HERE.
Have a great weekend,
Maggie 💛
