Feel like you are an open channel for energy to flow from the unmanifest source of all things to all living beings, and thus benefit all living beings through you. - From "The New World." 》-lt;A New Earthgt;, one of the three forms of awakening.

This sentence absolutely expresses my feelings and thoughts. This is what I am currently doing. The activity of creating words is not only enriching and deepening my own life, but I firmly believe that it is also enriching or deepening the lives of more people. I feel that the door of wisdom has been opened to me, and words and ideas are constantly popping up in my mind. It seems that I can have an idea at any time, one after another, eager to expand.

Warm reminder: Each of my recent articles is about six to seven thousand words. . If you can patiently read my articles every time, be proud of yourself and cheer for yourself!

Start looking for the treasure

Officially written Before the topic of this issue, I had hesitated: Should I continue writing an article about parenting and education? Or should I continue writing about self-growth and self-development? I found that I have not focused on parenting education in the past two weeks, and some problems have appeared again. I understand that the root cause of these problems lies not with the children, but with me. In the final analysis, on the road of my self-growth and self-development. The topic of parenting education is inseparable. It is part of my self-growth and self-development. In the context of self-growth and self-development, adults must not only handle the relationship with their children, but also the relationship with themselves. .

When I was hesitating, I opened a book that had just arrived that day. This book gave me the clearest answer. As I said, there are treasures in books. There is gold. This book gave me a very clear understanding of what I am doing. This book is by Eckhart Tolle. "New World"-lt;A NewEarthgt;.

While learning, sharing at the same time, today I want to share "The Secret of Happiness-Awakening on the Road to Spiritual Growth." "This unusual topic of spiritual growth. Let me first talk about why I plan to write about this topic now.

In this regard, I must mention Larissa, my physical and mental guide, and she is my best A friend. Larissa and her husband live in the United States. They have always enthusiastically recommended Eckhart's ideas and culture to the United States. Larissa said that she and her husband Mark highly believe that Eckhart is a rare and profound person. Teacher. But based on Eckhart’s speaking style, it requires some patience, and I didn’t seem to have that patience at the time. After listening to some of his online courses, I seemed to understand some of what he said, but I couldn’t do what he said. The method is to observe your own heart at any time and pay attention to the present (Observe Yourself and Be Presence). Mainly at that time, I needed a higher frequency to stimulate my heart, and I needed a particularly positive force to inspire me to Desire and love for life. At that time, I felt that he was not the style of spiritual mentor I wanted. Later, after I returned to China, Larissa specifically mentioned Eckhart in one of her messages. The book "The Power of Now" - "The Power of the Now", she said that her mother is over eighty years old and is still reading the Russian version of "The Power of Now" by Eckhart. She said. It is recommended that I also read this book.

I also know that Eckhart culture is relatively popular in China, so I quickly bought the Chinese version of this book. After receiving the book, I couldn't wait to read it, but after reading halfway through the book, I had no patience to read any more. So it was placed together with other books. Until a week ago, when I finished reading "I Believe" written by Oprah Winfrey, I felt that I needed to buy Eckhart's "The New World" to read it. Soon, I finished reading the book "New World". In the process of reading this book, I had too many resonances with the words in the book. The points I drew in the book are all over the place. At the end, this book gave me a big surprise - I discovered my true nature!

Finding The Treasure-Finding The Treasure

1. My Pain Body - My Pain Body

As I wrote before, as I continue to learn parenting education, I learn more and more confidently. Since I believed this would continue, I began to redirect my energy and put more of it into self-education. As a result, I found that some of my previous bad states came back. It was in the process of getting along with my daughter that I started to be lax again. I felt that as a parent, I started to bully the younger ones again. I felt that it was unfair to her. But I don’t know why, I just can’t control myself.

When I read the PAIN BODY in A New Earth, I understood why I was like that. That means I have a pain body. In fact, almost everyone has a pain body. Some people carry a heavy pain body, and some people carry a slight pain body. We need to find its source. And where does my pain body come from?

1. The Source of the Pain-Body

I was a lawyer once, and I am still a lawyer now. As a litigator, I am a professional. I love my job and I love the courtroom. As a lawyer, especially a lawyer in the capital, I am proud. Then, different people have different priorities at different times. Me too. Three years ago I had my daughter. I made a major life transition: I transitioned from being a professional practicing attorney to being a stay-at-home mom. My daughter takes up the center of my life. I feel that I gave her life, so I should be responsible for her. So I started raising her by myself. So it became like this: from dealing with large and small cases every day, to dealing with diapers, milk powder, cooking and taking care of the baby all day long. I used to think that going out to pick up a laptop and files was physical work. Now when I go out all day, I have to hold my baby in one hand, a stroller in the other, and a backpack... In short, I have suffered mental pain and struggle. These form part of my pain body.

2. The pain-body repeats and renews itself

"New World" - page P129: "When the pain-body feels hungry, it wakes up from its dormant state and prepares Start to feed. Also, it can be triggered by something at any time. The pain body that is ready to feed can be triggered by the smallest things, like something someone says or does, or even something. is a thought."

"New World" - Page P128, "In most people, the pain body has a quiescent period and an active period... The length of the quiescent period varies from person to person: the most common It can last for weeks, but it can also last for days or months. In rare cases, the pain-body can hibernate for years before being awakened by something."

After reading this, I understand myself a little more. It turns out that many times, when you lose your temper with children involuntarily over those sesame seeds and mung beans, it is because the pain body starts to look for food again, the pain body needs energy, and the pain body is resurrected. When I looked at the problem this way, I found that I no longer felt guilty and I no longer blamed myself. I became more aware of the nature of the problem. So the next time the pain-body comes, I need to recognize it right away. I want to stop it immediately.

3. How to transform the pain body

The pain body likes negative thoughts the most, because negative thoughts produce negative energy and it feeds on negative energy. Therefore, when we feel that our negative energy is rising and about to explode, we quickly find ways to transform this energy.

This was my most profound experience yesterday afternoon. Yesterday afternoon, I asked my child to clean up her toys, but she didn't. I felt like a burst of angry energy was about to burst out, so I started doing this exercise: raising my hands in the air and jumping upright. When I jumped to 30 times, I felt much better. Because I transformed negative energy through such exercise. If you still feel angry after stopping, then keep doing it. Do 50 moves and see.

There is another way to transform the energy of the pain body - and that is to take continuous deep breaths. That is what many people say, when you feel angry, take a deep breath. I didn't think this was an effective approach before. Because many times, we treat deep breathing as a superficial form. In fact, it makes perfect sense if you analyze it carefully and take a deep breath. Because the process of deep breathing absorbs new energy into the body through the action of inhalation. Then use the action of exhaling to spit out the energy of negative emotions in the body. Between this inhalation and exhalation, energy is exchanged. Try inhaling for one second, holding for three seconds, and then exhaling. You immediately feel your own energy field. Your energy is transforming.

2. The first stage of awakening - Acceptance

When I read "A New World" -lt; A New Earthgt; P256, it was like this book gave me a big surprise - I discovered myself. The book writes: The three forms of awakening include: acceptance, enjoyment and enthusiasm. The reason why I think it is a surprise is that I have experienced these three stages one after another. I know and understand exactly what he is talking about: acceptance, enjoyment and enthusiasm. Eckhart calls them three forms, but I prefer to call them three stages of awakening.

Awakening begins with acceptance. When it comes to acceptance, I think it can be divided into at least two aspects: one is to accept your past, and the other is to accept your present.

"New World" - Page P257 "Acceptance means: At this moment, this is what the current situation and this moment require me to do, so I do it willingly." When you accept it, then Will treat others with a peaceful attitude. ”

1. Embrace Your Past - Embrace Your Past

Everyone has a past. No matter what happened in the past, no matter how good the days you have experienced in the past, no matter the past What bad days you have gone through are in the past. Accept what happened in the past. If we see how beautiful other people's lives are and how envious they are, I think you only see the surface. To be more specific, as long as we live in this world, everyone will suffer difficulties and pain. This is inevitable.

Stop blaming yourself, stop blaming anyone, and don’t think who ruined you. Life. Just like how bad a person is, if he stumbles you once, you have two choices: A. You decide to continue to fall to the ground and cry and tell passers-by, it’s him! It was him who knocked me down. Then I complained, blamed, and hated myself all day long. B. Although it hurt, you decided to dust yourself off and stand up on your own. Be stronger physically and mentally. It will not be easy for someone to trip you up next time.

Now I not only fully accept my past, but I am grateful for mine. The past. The memory of the past is also an energy, and I give my blessing and gratitude to this energy. When I decide to do this, I free myself.

2. Accept and hold you. Cherish the Present Moment

Accept your present moment.

Focus your energy on the present and take advantage of your present. The power is now. Hope is now. The time is now. The day is now. Now, what are you going to do? Now, what are you passionate about? Now, what do you want to create? Now, how are you going to change your life? What can you do right now that will change your life? The present is the present. In the words of ECKHARTTOLLE, the moment has the most powerful power.

I have peace and freedom, which are like the jewels of life. My relationship with the present is: I must cherish the present and make good use of the present. I want to make full use of the peace and freedom of this moment to read, create, plan, and change my life. I want to make full use of this space and time to continue learning, reading, writing and creating, and sharing my achievements and wisdom. I want to make full use of this present moment to create a fulfilling future for myself.

3. The second stage of awakening—Enjoy

"New World" - Page P258: "When you can truly enjoy what you do, the peace that comes with the act of surrender will transform into a vibrant Feel. ”

“If you can already enjoy what you are doing, rather than waiting for something to change before you can start enjoying what you are doing, then external expansion and positive change will occur. More likely to happen in your life ”

1. I enjoy the calm state very much

Maybe it’s because I have had enough of raising children for a long time. A state of crying and non-stop service to her. Now that my kids are in school, all I want is some peace and quiet. Quietness and peace are as precious as gold to me. Even more valuable than gold. When I sit down quietly, I have space in my heart. I started to be grateful for the space and time I had. I am grateful for this moment of freedom I have. My body is free, my mind is free, my soul is free. To be able to achieve such peace and freedom is grace.

2. I enjoy the process of creating words very much

Under the quiet and calm static outside, my heart is full of energy, and there is an energy that wants to be expressed. It was March 27, 2018. That morning, the energy was particularly evident. I picked up the pen and in less than two hours, I wrote 16 pages/about eight pages. Same thing the next day. This flow of energy continues for a long time. Now, when I write on the computer, I also write one idea after another. In a quiet space, I devoted myself wholeheartedly to my creation, and my heart seemed to be burning. When I create words, these words do not consume my ability, but add positive energy to me. I think this is the real enjoyment.

4. The third stage of awakening - Enthusiasm

"New World" - Page P261: "Enthusiasm means that there is deep enjoyment in what you do, plus a The goal or vision you are striving towards. When you add a goal while enjoying what you do, the energy field or vibration frequency of what you do changes. ”

Page 262. “Unlike stress, enthusiasm has a high-energy frequency and therefore resonates with the creative power of the universe.”

"New World" - Page P264: "In general: enjoying what you are doing and combining it with a goal or vision you are moving towards is enthusiasm."

The reason why I quoted the above sentences is that I think they are very right and very popular. They are my truest feelings and feelings right now.

As long as I close my eyes, I can feel the flow of energy. From the day I started paying attention to it, it never left me. I really enjoy my creative process now. Every day I wake up knowing what I crave. I know the passion in my heart. I don’t need to search high and low for knowledge.

If you look at the article I wrote before, "How to Make Children Love Reading," you will know that there are 6,917 words in it. I only quoted a famous quote at the beginning, and the rest were written by myself. This is what "New World" -lt; ANew Earthgt; page P263 says, "Enthusiasm is creativity itself, so there is no need to draw energy from other secondary sources. The desire of the ego always tries to grab it from others or other things. ;and enthusiasm does give from its own fullness. "This is part of who I am.

I have my goals, I have my vision. I am getting closer to my goals and vision step by step. With faith, enthusiasm, plans, and execution ability, nothing else can stop me from moving forward. The same goes for you. When you have these, nothing can stop you from moving towards a fulfilling life.

5. The Frequency-Holders

"New World" - Page P265: "The process of external manifestation entering form has different intensity in each person. Some people feel Have a strong urge to build, create, participate, achieve some mission, or have an impact on the world. ”

Create, create, recreate. I want to create more words, I want to create more articles. The first thing I do when I wake up every day is to create. This creation is not necessarily the creation of words. But currently, with my ability and conditions, creating words is the simplest and most effective way to express energy. Maybe one day I will try to create through painting. I feel that my soul can only be completely released when I create something that can be seen.

This feeling of wanting to create is so profoundly reflected in my last article entitled "What the Top Successful People Do After Getting Up": "I want to use this moment to make the most of myself." Create, re-create, create as much as possible. Create words and provide value. My core life now is creation. "So when I saw the words above Eckhart, why wasn't I excited. It feels like he is describing me and expressing my feelings.

6. How to enlighten

"New World" - page P127, "People with heavy pain bodies are different from people with lighter pain bodies." It is usually easier to awaken spiritually. ”

When I was suffering from mental pain and struggle, now when I look back at the path I have taken, I realize that it all turned out to be valuable and meaningful. of. It is precisely because of the pain in the past that I embarked on the path of body, mind and soul. First, I learned the process of self-healing and self-restoration of body, mind and soul; then I began to learn the process of self-growth and self-development. Gradually, there was a shift in my self-conscious and subconscious aspects. I became very inspired. I became more positive and optimistic.

"The New World" - Page P224: "The beginning of the awakening process depends on the act of grace. You cannot cause it to happen, or prepare for it in advance, or accumulate merit to obtain it. Although our minds I am very passionate about this theory, but awakening cannot be achieved through a step-by-step rational process. ”

I have had many experiences where I met the right person at the right place at the right time. This happens many times, especially when we need help. I think this experience is grace. When grace appears, you will feel incredible. When things like this happen one after another, it will arouse your awareness. I evolved in this process. And such a thing cannot be forced. "As a result, a lot of timely help will appear automatically, and chance encounters, various coincidences, and many synchronous events (Synchronicity) will follow one after another.". "New World" P240. When I saw this paragraph, I was besides surprised. surprise. Because this sentence accurately summarizes my previous experience.

But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do.

7. The Secret of Happiness

The reason why I discuss the secret of happiness in this part is like a person searching for a treasure. The process of finding treasure is often more profound than digging for it directly. At the end of the journey, a man realizes that the treasure was with him all along.

The secret of happiness is neither in the past nor in the future, but in the present moment. I give you these words: "New World" - The Secret of Happiness P101: "How to calm down at this moment? Make peace with the present moment. The present moment is the playing field of life, and it cannot play elsewhere. Once you have made peace with the present moment, see what happens next, what you can do or choose, or what life has to do with you. There are a few words that can express the secret of the art of living, and that is all. The secret of success and happiness: becoming one with life. Being one with life is becoming one with the present moment."

8. Written at the end - The Last

"New World" - Page P224 "However, if you have some inner response to this book, if you can understand some of its principles, it means the process of awakening. Already unfolded. "It is precisely because I am so enlightened that I write this article. There is no doubt that my awakening process has begun.

"New World" - Page P266: "Some people eventually transform into healers or spiritual teachers, that is, teachers of the essence." As for whether I can become a spiritual teacher, I don't know. I just know that now I have to follow my passion and enthusiasm, do what I can do now, and do what I want to do now. Everything is not impossible. But this is elusive. I believe that spiritual teachers also require God’s grace.

At the end of this article, my advice to you is: keep learning and try to use these methods and techniques. The more you study, the more confident you will become. As you become more and more confident, you will slowly experience the joy and sweetness of self-growth.

Continue the treasure hunt-TO BE CONTINUED
