Overcoming The Loss/Separation Of A Loved One
Living trapped in the memory of a loved one who left us, or in the memory of a situation
that no longer exists, or in the memory of someone who is alive but who we no longer
see (since we have physically separated), does not allow us to enjoy the present
moment with freedom.
What is required during the mourning period is the capacity to make peace with the
memories recorded in our consciousness. It is to reach a point where these memories
do not upset us or cause us pain. It is to acknowledge that the memory of what was
and no longer is, no longer generates desires, dissatisfaction, frustration or sadness.
You don't get over the mourning of a loved one or a lost child, because you allow
the memory to continue alive, in a way that it invades the consciousness and imprisons
the soul. The memory suffocates the present; there exists a desire to relive a past
that no longer has the possibility of existing.
Tomorrow, we shall look at some at the questions that arise in the mind in a mourning
period.

Message for the day 14-04-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
When the mind is healthy the body is healthy too.
Projection: When we have some difficulty with our body, we usually find our
mind becoming dull, too. When the mind becomes dull we no longer can fight the sickness.
It, thus, takes a long time to get well and the time during the sickness seems long
and painful.
Solution: We need to make sure we keep our mind happy under all circumstances.
Where the mind is healthy no illness will attack us. Even when we fall sick we will
be able to be stable which will help us to fight back and overcome the illness very
soon.
