There is a child inside all of us, whether we realize it or not. And sometimes we return to that state, with all of its vulnerabilities, dependencies, and insecurities. Many of us try to become an adult by pushing away and ignoring this child – but the real path to adulthood is recognising and making friends with him or her. This post introduces a simple and yet very powerful process for reintegrating your inner child.
There was something I discovered recently, something that sounds so absurd and yet so simple. As much as I want to be free of whatever I am suffering – there is a part of me that wants it. Getting in touch with this part can be the next step in finding inner freedom.
We are all living on one planet, in one physical reality. But there is one common mistake many of us make – we think we are living in the same world. This post introduces a process that builds on some of the most powerful methods offered on this blog, taking them to a deeper level for more freedom.
What do we do with the attachments, desires, and habits that cause our suffering? What if the usual methods of handling our behaviours are making them worse? This article details some of these errors, and provides a long-term solution, the most useful I have come across.
If you look deeply into your own life, you’ll find something shocking. Much of our unhappiness comes from our desires and attachments – even the ones we achieve! How does this happen?
What will life be like without attachments? Does all joy disappear? No – we are simply left with the freedom to enjoy all we have.
There was a famous teaching once, a long time ago – the origin of suffering is attachment, desire. This post will prepare us by introducing attachment, the root of all our unskilful behaviours and pain, and how to uncover them in our own lives.
A meta-emotion is a subtle feeling, one that contributes significantly to the anguish we feel. This post covers this sensation and the various ways it arises – to bring awareness, the first step to change.
What are we to do with our afflictive emotions? Do we push them away, change the thoughts that cause them, accept them, or heal them? In the midst of all these conflicting advice, perhaps there is a middle path. Additionally, this is a guide to using cognitive techniques – when, not how.
Guilt is the source of much sorrow; the driving force behind a constant mental whipping, a constant stinging. And from whom? Who holds the whip?
What is one to do? Is one helpless? This is a guide that will make a difference.
Guilt is, simply put, a wrong notion. Guilt is paralysing, destructive. You think you have done something you shouldn’t have; you hadn’t done something you should have.
Guilt is the false idea that you could have done better; that you had the power to choose. But if you look deeply into it, you will see that you were helpless. There was simply no choice.
