WEEK 33.2 – (AUGUST 16-AUGUST 22) – WATCHER OF THE WATCHER
“Be present as the watcher of your mind- of your thoughts and emotions as well as your reactions in various situations. Be at least as interested in your reactions as in the situation or person that causes you to react.” – Eckhart Tolle
“Feel what it is like to just be. “To be” is not an instruction to be carried out. You are not “going to be” or “become.” Discovering you are effortless existence, there is nothing to construct or change. There is nothing to add.
You are already complete just as you are. Isn’t it now becoming obvious? Be one with the knowledge.
You are now in the natural, ego-less space – unbound. Take a little time to confirm, digest and assimilate your experiencing.” – Mooji
“Avoiding triggers isn’t healing. Healing happens when you are triggered and you are able to move through the pain, the pattern and the story and walk your way to a different ending.” – Vienna Pharaon
“The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished.” – Deng Ming-Dao, Everyday Tao: Living with Balance and Harmony
We are like a moon, the surface of our soul is cratered with reminders of the impact our lives encountered with others along our journey, we have a bright and a dark side, while our shape never really changes, we appear to change dramatically by the perspective of how others see us and the light reflected on us.
See your soul as a globe of reflecting light.
“Diamonds are only created by coal that endures tremendous pressure and forces, trying to crush and destroy it. If it survives, then the coal transformed into a diamond, one of the toughest substances found on earth. While the strength of a diamond is impressive, the light that shines through it is what truly makes it special. Have perseverance overcoming the struggles you are facing in your life right now. Instead of allowing them to crush you, help them to transform you into a diamond with unstoppable inner strength and light that shines through you illuminating your world with your inner beauty.” – David Scott
“The Light that YOGA sheds on Life is something special. It is transformative. It does not change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees.” – B.K.S. Iyengar
“Nothing glows brighter than the heart awakened to the light of love that lives within it.” – Guy Finley
“Real knowledge is to know and compassionately understand the extent of everyone’s ignorance.” – David Scott
“Compassion is to look beyond your own pain, to see the pain of others.” Yasmin Mogahed
“Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.” Jack Kornfield
“Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace”
“We don’t have to agree on anything to be kind to one another. When given the choice of being right or in being kind. Choose Kindness.”
“You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force.” – Publilius Syrus
“When you understand that hurt people, hurt people, it’s a lot easier to offer them compassion. It doesn’t condone what they’ve done. It just makes it easier soften your anger and break the cycle of pain.”
Loneliness
“The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved.” – Mother Teresa
When you are evolving to your higher self, the road is long and lonesome, but you’re simply shedding energies that no longer match the frequency of your destiny. The hardest walk is walking alone, but it’s also the walk that makes you the strongest.”
“A meaningful silence is always better than meaningless words.”
“Not everyone you lose in life is a loss. Sometimes in order to find peace, you have to let go of the connection with the people, places, and things that create drama in your life but do not make you stronger.”
“People know your name, not your story. They’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through. So take their opinions of you with a grain of salt. In the end, it’s not what others think, it’s what you think about yourself that counts. Sometimes you have to do exactly what’s best for you and your life, not what’s best for everyone else.”
“The ones who notice the storms in your eyes, the silence in your voice and the heaviness in your heart are the ones you need to let in.”
“Open your hands if you want to be held.” – Rumi
“If I have harmed anyone in any way either knowingly or unknowingly through my own confusions, I ask their forgiveness. If anyone has harmed me in any way either knowingly or unknowingly through their own confusions, I forgive them. And if there is a situation I am not yet ready to forgive, I forgive myself for that. For all the ways that I harm myself, negate, doubt, belittle myself, judge or be unkind to myself through my own confusions, I forgive myself.”
