Spiritual Six Pack

Getting a spiritual six pack is the same as getting a physical six pack.

Some people ask "how long will it take?"

Well, if you work out once, will you get strong abs? No.

If you work out only when you are down and out, will you get strong abs? No.

If you work out, say, once a month, will you get strong abs? No.

What if you consistently worked out to achieve the abs you wanted and got the abs you wanted, then stopped working out for a few months? What would happen?

1 ice cream won't make you fat. 1hr of exercise won't make you fit. 1 session won’t cure you.

The only way to achieve the results you want with anything in life, is consistency. Whether it be physical, mental, emotional, psychic or spiritual. If you want a spiritual six pack, stay consistent.

Rejection of Feelings

I'm teaching my son that it's okay to feel all of his feelings. That we as humans get to experience a vast array of emotions. We label them as "good" or "bad" but they are neither. They are just feelings. All they want is to be acknowledged and felt. And when we hold space to feel, they move through us like passing clouds... and all is well. 

Part of the human experience is to feel. So let the feels feel. No need to hold on, maintain, sustain or repress or deny. I share with him that many people have problems when they reject their feelings: Their human experience. And he doesn't need to do that. 

Crying is not weak. Crying is simply a release of emotions. A purge. We cry when we are sad, we cry when we are happy. We cry when we are in pain, we cry when we are enraged. We cry when we are afraid. We cry when we are overjoyed, overwhelmed, ecstatic, moved, inspired. It's okay to cry. It's part of the human experience. And he is a beautiful human.
