Remember, the higher the peak, the deeper the valley. You should never feel discouraged when valleys enter your life or you can’t seem to get out of them.
As our teacher Sharon Gannon teaches us, we can make magic by shifting our perception. Can you imagine if you can behave equally to both? Whenever a setback happens, you just accept it; and whenever something blissful happens, you just accept it. Not liking one over the other, with a detached mind, that’s pure magic.
By accepting life’s highs and lows, we find our greatest freedom. By giving ourselves permission to descend into our own depths, we allow ourselves to connect to what we are really feeling. We get in touch with love, pain, sadness, silence, we dance to a different rhythm which has its own beauty.
Through this acceptance we transform arid soil into fertile soil for growth. We unleash our cosmic power, our cosmic vision and we can feel the limitless existence of the ocean of awareness within us. We transform ourselves.
