It’s easier to perpetuate failure than to truly accept a win. Or when we encounter new levels of success in our career, it can be so unfamiliar that we may unconsciously hold ourselves back and return to our former level of comfort. It is much easier to continue feeling unloved than it is to be fully loved. Sometimes we encounter the discomfort and turn back, because the love seems unbearable.įor example, being seen and loved by a partner – more than we ever were growing up – can trigger subconscious panic, and patterns of self sabotage, and some may even pick a fight, stray, or leave. When we hit the edge of how much we can take, and lean into it, we grow. We experience breakthroughs to the extent that we can withstand the excruciating agony of being loved and lit up more than we’ve known before. This sounds enjoyable in theory, but is an incredibly uncomfortable experience. It might seem like we are curing ailments and fixing things that are broken, but at the end of the day, any true path is increasing the flow of pure energy through our entire system. Our healing and evolution happen when we expand our capacity to receive more energy, more light and more love. However, underneath this hippie drivel is a profound truth that is worth exploring. This concept, like many others, has been twisted and adulterated by people who haven’t taken the time to understand its true meaning (see also: Mercury Retrograde, the Facebook Algorithm, a lot of Westernized Yoga). This is especially true if it’s in response to someone’s suffering. I cringe whenever I hear someone say “it’s all love and light” in response to, well, pretty much anything.
