STOP FIGHTING YOURSELF- AND BE FREE!

DEAR FRIENDS- I have observed that life feels like an unending struggle to almost everyone. The daily feeling inside us of striving and straining toward what we desire robs us of the inner peace and happiness we long for.
We imagine that we will be free of the struggle "someday". When we reach our goal, when we marry our soulmate, when we have enough money, when we retire- when we die.
But somehow the day of liberation never comes.
The problem is that we don't realize where the feeling of "struggling" truly comes from. We believe it comes from our endless effort to make our lives better, from the toil of shaping our circumstances toward the ideal.
But we are wrong about that!
The important thing to realize is that there is true hope- the feeling of "struggle" in life need not go on forever. We really can be free when we wake up and realize that the endless fight we are experiencing is really against ourselves- against our own feelings!
Everyone is carrying a burden of unexpressed feelings stretching all the way back to childhood. Imagine the amount of energy your system is using to hold back all that anger and sadness, fear and guilt and shame. As well as all the love, joy and aliveness that cannot be fully unleashed- because the defenses that block our pain suppress our life-force in general
How tiring it is to endlessly fight back the ocean of feelings within us! WHAT A STRUGGLE!
When we let go of the fear of the emotions (e-motion=energy in motion) we've been holding back/holding in, and finally let it all out- the sense of life as a struggle fades away. We breathe deep and easy, our energy flows freely within us, and the natural pleasure of being alive takes over our everyday experience. We come alive and are powerfully re-energized. The deep well-being we all long for and spend our lives trying to find emerges at last!
Why? Because being alive naturally feels wonderful when our energy is flowing free and we are no longer carrying/struggling against a burden of pain.
This is true- and it works. I guarantee it! LOTS OF LOVE- BRYAN
