I participated in a family energy seminar the other day and when I connected with my father’s energy, I noticed a feeling of fear and depression rushing in. This in itself was not a surprise given that my father struggled with a bi-polar disease for decades, but for the first time I merely sat with it rather than trying to run away from it. Amazingly, after a few hours of struggle I noticed the heart center opening up and enveloping this energy. These feelings became a state of being, neither good nor bad.
When we are not aware of the underlying current, when we just follow the up and down movement of the waves, we are not in control of our action; we only think we are. We might decide to drink our blues away figuring that we just like alcohol, or we might fight our depression by wanting to inspire others by sharing our spiritual insights, but in either case we are running away from what is. Just like the fall colors shine bright every October, this inner color blue is part of me and I accept it.
