All quotes from
Ambika's book
We can choose at which level of awareness we use to respond to life
situations.
We
can empower ourselves with greater awareness through inner work and spiritual
development, and live from a place of wisdom and mastery.
It
is said in Chinese medicine that we inherit our life force from both our
parents. Sometimes a life vision or
attitude is deeply rooted in the family history, and in order to grow and live
creatively, we may be forced to bring into our own consciousness the
unexpressed anger, fear or grief which stopped our parents from living their
lives to the fullest.
The
more accepting and loving we are of ourselves and our lives, the quicker our
energy opens up and starts to flow.
Rather
than creating further damage by getting into the rut of punishing and judging
ourselves, we can focus love, warmth, gentleness and understanding on those
wounded parts of ourselves.
When
we own our projections, by recognizing that we are in fact seeing through our
own emotions, we make the shifts in our perception and thinking that will allow
us to grow.
