The past week I have been going through a lot of "old pain" and it feels like step by step I can let it go now.<BR/><BR/>My sister has experienced it too and we have had a wonderful conversation in which we could talk about things of the past and let it go. <BR/><BR/>It is a slow process but I feel like I am learning to detache myself earlier and let go easier.<BR/><BR/>Will get back to you on that book by Eckhart Tolle, as I find your quote very inspiring; -"our body reacts to our thoughts as well to actual events, it doesn't know the difference!"-<BR/><BR/>Thank you for bringing this up and for your refreshing and honest sharing :)<BR/><BR/>with love, SasSashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393018270492516078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608584259598597110.post-12208797276777203492008-05-01T21:33:00.000+02:002008-05-01T21:33:00.000+02:00Sas, it's true that certain deep memories or thoug...Sas, it's true that certain deep memories or thoughts (positive & negative) are never erased and we analyse it in our minds endlessly. It's not harmful when they are good thoughts but reliving bad ones are harmful to our mind as well as our body. As Eckhart Tolle says, our bodies react to our thoughts as well actual events, it doesn't know the difference! I agree with you, it's not an easy task for me either given that I relive a lot of stuff and only recently I have slowly learned to let go, especially negative thoughts/events.rkramadhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10450776215113560220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608584259598597110.post-26192215917246376662008-05-01T20:44:00.000+02:002008-05-01T20:44:00.000+02:00Dear Shalini and Rupa,Thank you for your lovely an...Dear Shalini and Rupa,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your lovely and warm comments.<BR/><BR/>To me it is one of the most difficult things to accomplish in my life....being able to let go.<BR/><BR/>Even if someone or something is not in front of me, because to me letting go of a memory can be very difficult also. <BR/><BR/>But by sharing it I let go a bit too, so thank you :)<BR/><BR/>with love, SasSashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393018270492516078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608584259598597110.post-78505069980262185462008-05-01T20:27:00.000+02:002008-05-01T20:27:00.000+02:00Dear Elisa,Thank you for sharing your heart felt t...Dear Elisa,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your heart felt thoughts.I am so grateful that my post was in some way helpful to you.<BR/><BR/>Take care my friend and a big warm hug to you,<BR/><BR/>with love, SasSashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393018270492516078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608584259598597110.post-61380892243297635422008-05-01T18:25:00.000+02:002008-05-01T18:25:00.000+02:00Dear Sas, you have expressed very difficult but pr...Dear Sas, you have expressed very difficult but profound thoughts in such a simple, open way. I guess it's natural to feel posessive of what we consider most precious in our lives. I find that it's a life long thing that we keep letting go but go back to holding on to it again....it's a recurring cycle. If the object of desire is completely gone, then we can let go completely eventually. But if it's there in front of you all the time, letting go completely is more challenging I find.rkramadhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10450776215113560220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608584259598597110.post-80262084646245269182008-04-30T05:25:00.000+02:002008-04-30T05:25:00.000+02:00Beautifully written....I completely understand the...Beautifully written....I completely understand the feeling as I hate to let things go as well.
