The Art of Contemplation: Gentle path to wholeness and prosperity

Pivoting shows you how to catch your shadows in action and thus disarm the neural detonator that propagates conflict.

It is rare to find a human being without some imprint of trauma in their emotional life. The great antidote to trauma is love.

The other purpose of contemplation is to create more clarity in our lives by helping us diffuse challenges. You can begin this process right now if you wish. You can think about the issue that you currently find most challenging in your life and make that the focus of your contemplation.

Contemplation also teaches us how to say an open-hearted ‘no’. Sometimes our intuition leads us in a direction that may disappoint the expectations or wishes of others. At such times we need to be so certain of our decision that we do not fall prey to guilt. We can use courtesy and gratitude but our decision is clear and in tune with a greater harm

if you push against the current, you will end up exhausted.

This is the quality of gentleness. As you will learn, the art of contemplation is a gentle path,

This means that you no longer need be a victim of your changing emotional states or of the more extreme states of others.

The more often we return to the subject of our contemplation, the deeper it enters into our unconscious mind. It even enters into our dream life.

As your contemplation deepens, it is likely that you will enter into a period of emotional transformation as you identify and root out old emotional patterns that no longer serve you.
