can learn easy, effective techniques to dissolve our old beliefs-and the intense emotions that go with them. At the core of most meditative practices is the guidance to feel human emotions as pure energy, sensation or vibration—without the labels and names we usually use to identify them, without the need to understand, intellectualize or categorize them. Labels create resistance and confine us to feeling the experience inside the box named by the label. If we welcome “e-motions” as “energy in motion”—flowing sensations, pulsating
vibrations-we can release our death grip on our belief system and allow our old limiting paradigms and self-images to transform.
Then every day becomes a good day to die—to our outmoded ways Of thinking and living. We can clear our soul of the karma, trauma and drama blocking our natural trust, openness and vitality. We can release ourselves from past influences and present-day self- defeating patterns. We can live and love freely again. We can recover our natural aliveness, creativity and playfulness in order to heal, grow and blossom. We can reclaim wholeness, meaning and joy. We can complete the past, fully enjoy the present and creatively open to the future.
People in touch with ancient and native wisdom know that dying is simply a transition to another state of existence—a state of light energy. Each new year, we experience a worldwide transition as light energy infuses the entire planet and all of its inhabitants. If we label these feelings “dying,” “depressing” or ” scary,” we will experience the energy within that label framework. If we experience these same feelings as “flowing,” ” dense sensation” or “exciting,” we can surf the tides of transformation.
