Anger can be an emotional roller coaster that stresses the body and can create bad feelings for hours. And no other emotion has such an impact on relationships. When Mom or Dad gets mad, that’s scary and often overwhelming for kids since their parents are so big, powerful, and important. In an intimate relationship, frequent anger is very wounding; after a while, anyone would start wanting to step back from a person who’s mad a lot of the time.

Living in Peace with that which You Cannot Change
by Dr. Robert Brooks August 28, 2013It is not always easy to accept and take actions associated with those words, but to fail to do so often leads to a “why me?” victim’s mentality that contributes to a sense of sadness, helplessness, and regrets. It is far better to choose the road that while filled with the unknown at least offers hope for future satisfaction and accomplishment.

Just as true emptiness holds all things, true silence bears all things. Whatever is brought into this silence, whatever it touches, is gradually silenced… not by an act of domination, but through a peaceful integration of a lesser peace into a greater one.

The Enlightenment Trap (When ego takes ownership of spiritual experiences)
by Maria Erving September 13, 2012Oftentimes when a person suddenly experiences an awakening or spiritual opening of some sorts, however small or big it is to experienced by the person, the ego takes ownership of it – and it’s important to be aware of the fact that even though we have an experience that shifts our whole perspective, the ego will still be there, and it will think that It has awakened if we’re not conscious enough to see it for what it is.
