We had a nice cozy group at the opening session of this fall’s meditation classes this past Tuesday. Teresa was thrilled to receive us back with her warm quesadillas, teas and goodies.
We were commenting on how important it is to move our bodies and to keep serving, to keep putting our talents out there. We all were intrigued by the women’s empowerment day and by how our own tantrums prevent us from getting out there and showing the world our beauty, grace and power.
Big tantrum vs small tantrum
I spoke of the difference between the big tantrums and the small tantrums. The small tantrum happens when we are aware that we are feeling discomfort; when we are resenting, judging and opposing any experience in life.
The big tantrum is the one that we carry from one life to another. It is so close to us that we adapt to it; we are not completely aware of it. All we know is that we are not at ease in our life, in our experiences and in our relationships. This type of tantrum is not easy to pinpoint, since it dwells in the subconscious, and is introjected and perceived as part of us.
We did in meditation some self-awareness exercises that may facilitate the navigation in that area.

The small tantrums I have much more awareness about these days. It's the big tantrum which will require much more patience to make peace with and heal.
ReplyDeleteI am much more aware of my big tantrum that has been with me for a long time. With the support of the teacher and with her patience I am witnessing this tantrum more in the moment. The self-awareness is so powerful!
ReplyDeleteI see the tantrum as stemming from a resistence to life and to being on Earth. Learning that it is okay to make mistakes, to be a little bit clumsy, to just say what needs to be said...even if it doesn't come out with the greatest ease and grace...
ReplyDeleteAh, to be human...such a gift...God's biggest challenge...
My tantrum is related to being on Earth. I have been blessed with the light to be able to reflect upon this, and make better decisions. Patience and commitment are the foundations of my journey.
