In this unconditional welcoming, old un-integrated events and their associated emotions or beliefs can finally be heard.
Our task is to simply feel what is present with kind attention. We don’t have to know what is happening, how or why. When we just simply feel sensation, there is a deep integration that occurs on many levels. We can deepen further by soliciting a description of the sensation, such as it’s location, texture, color, etc., as ways to open into the felt experience. While there are many ways that we can encourage welcoming, my first choice is always through the practice of iRest Yoga Nidra, which offers the quintessential invitation to meet and FEEL what is present. Every symptom, when met by unconditional welcoming, provides a doorway into deeper self-understanding, wholeness and freedom. They may show up for each of us as chronic pain or insomnia, high blood pressure or anxiety, or as constant discontent or depression. In my Yoga Therapy practice I bare witness time and again to the healing power of welcoming all the messengers life offers. For example, the beauty of welcoming each moment just as it is, without attachment (raga) or aversion (dvesa), is perhaps one of the highest teachings we are offered in the Yoga and Buddha dharma. My experience is that the greater the simplicity, the greater the profundity. It seems the best things in life are so very simple.
