3 Minute Retreat - Consciousness Without Pain

"Peace of mind is important because we all want to be happy. Cultivating and preserving it is not so much a religious practice as taking a practical step towards being happy. We are social animals. Our well-being depends on the members of our community. In the past, people lived with their families in relatively small groups, but today, we are all dependent on each other. Therefore, it's crucial that we take account of the oneness of humanity." -Dalai Lama

​"There is no coming to Consciousness without Pain." -Carl Jung

I combined these thoughts from Carl Jung and the Dalai Lama as I saw such significance in both. Pause for a moment and truly consider these thought processes on your journey.

The oneness of Humanity is loaded with story, journey, and pain. We often want to run from it. We don't want to talk about it for it can bring a conflict that is uncomfortable to talk about with those in our lives.

But the truth of the matter our interchangeable pain is what connects us and healing that pain together will bring peace of mind overall and create community, relationship and bring the needed PEACE we crave as a collective world.

What pain are you running from that you could share with someone in your life that could be a hand reaching out to walk with them in their pain?​
