I just got back from a four day silent meditation retreat.
Yes, that means four days of not speaking and meditating all day long.
To be honest, I ended up breaking my silence part way through to manage an emergency.
On the first night of retreat my roommate left our cabin in the middle of the night and NEVER CAME BACK.
Little did I know this would be the beginning of a massively challenging experience that would push me way beyond my limits for the next several days.
The biggest takeaway I learned, is that we all have a window of tolerance for what we are willing to feel before we go into contraction and block ourselves from going any further.
This happens for both ends of the spectrum…
We have a window of tolerance for how much suffering we will endure
We have a window of tolerance for how much joy and pleasure we allow ourselves to feel as well.
In this weeks podcast I share the full story of what happened and how I personally learned to go beyond my edges when I thought I just couldn’t handle feeling more.
If you have ever felt yourself rub up against your own boundaries for what you can tolerate feeling, then don’t miss this episode. It is definitely worth a listen.
You are a creator.
Feel, be, see, say, and do.
The light in me honors the light in you.
Namaste,
brooke
