The Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree for forty years and asked himself the quintessential question, “Who am I?” His patience was infinite and his resolve unyielding. He knew his old way of looking at the world had brought him pain and suffering; he also knew there must be another way.

Getting it right takes time. There is no shortcut to consciousness. Often the path is tortuous, sometimes smooth. Each twist and turn adds polish to the roughcut diamond. We are gems in the making, and how intensely we shine depends on how regally we play.

Whether we allow things simply to unfold or we actively seek to make a change depends ultimately on how we feel. Each moment demands we pay attention to the nuance of feeling, so we can decide what to do. There is no blanket answer or quick fix to consciousness. One thing is certain-If we like what we have, we should leave it alone. And if we don’t, we should change it.
The natural state of the body is wellness. When we are sick, we are out of rhythm with the body’s band. This discordant note signals a call to attention, a potent stopping point to re-evaluate who we are and where we are going.
Self-loathing can show up when you least expect it and can live in your psyche without your even knowing it. It’s like a dirty little secret that only you know about. You fear others will find out so you bury it into the deep recesses of your consciousness, hoping that it will never surface. The irony is that what you think is hidden is really radiating out from you by the choices you make, the relationships you are in and even in how you look. Do you smile often, welcoming the world? Or is there a heaviness surrounding you that drains you of energy? By masking those parts of you that you hold in judgment in darkness you are actually perpetuating your self-loathing, not healing it. By denying your darkest thoughts their natural path to the surface you are holding them in a place where they will take root and soon begin bearing bitter fruit.
