Summary:
“Denial prevents us from evolving and transcending. Negating our emotions and realities limits our understanding and growth. By questioning ourselves and accepting what we deny, we can find new perspectives and wisdom. Recognizing and embracing the uncomfortable strengthens us and allows us to learn. Denial weakens us, while awareness leads us toward evolution and transformation.”
Quote:
“Denying what we cannot assimilate or transcend prevents us from evolving and learning.”
Exercises:
- Self-observation: Dedicate a few minutes each day to observe your thoughts, emotions, and reactions. Sit in silence and be aware of what arises in your mind and how you feel. Do not judge or try to change anything, just observe with acceptance and understanding.
- Powerful questions: Ask yourself the questions mentioned in the text: “What emotions and feelings do I deny within myself?” and “Is what I deny useful to me?”. Reflect on these questions during your meditation and allow the answers to emerge from within.
- Emotion acceptance: During your meditation, focus on an emotion that you tend to deny or avoid, such as anger or sadness. Allow yourself to feel that emotion without judgment or resistance. Observe how it manifests in your body and let it flow without holding onto it.
- Visualization of evolution: Close your eyes and visualize your process of evolution. Imagine how you transform and move forward, overcoming obstacles and embracing new perspectives. Visualize yourself in harmony with the changes and feeling a deep connection with your being.
