Transmutation

69cac2d183ce6-2600.jpgThe energy is expressing itself because you stored it in there. Every way you think — “I’ve been this way since I was little” — that’s because something happened and you got patterns. Your mind is not your enemy. Your lower heart is not your enemy. They are actually the same as your body, trying to push impurities out. That’s why you get a fever, that’s why a boil comes up. We don’t like it, but it’s trying to push impurities out. Your mind is doing the exact same thing, and your heart is doing the exact same thing. They’re saying: you stored all this stuff inside of me — stuff you didn’t like, stuff you’re not comfortable with — and I need to push it out.

So if you can learn to not get pulled down into these energies, but to allow them to be and just let them come up, the natural process of transmutation is going to take place. What does that mean? The energy was lower. It was anger. It was fear. It was embarrassment. That’s what got stimulated from inside, from the past.

What are you going to do about it? You relax and realize this is stuff from the past coming up inside of you. And so you relax. Well, what happens to that embarrassing energy? All of a sudden there’s nothing pushing it back down. There’s nothing resisting at all. It comes up. “But now I feel a lot of embarrassment.” Relax. “Now I feel the most embarrassment I ever felt. My God, it’s really hot.” Relax. Keep your hands off. And all of a sudden it becomes love.

The energy came up to a higher level. It’s all the same energy. There’s only one energy in there. It’s just expressing itself differently because of these different patterns you carved inside yourself. As you let it go, now it doesn’t have to be in there anymore. The energy that’s behind it — pushing this pattern out of the way — all of a sudden you start to feel Shakti. It will turn into Shakti. That’s called transmuting the nature of the energy. It was expressing itself as anger, as fear, as embarrassment or guilt. And because you were willing to say, “Come on up” — get the blockage out of the way — behind the blockage is Shakti, and you will start to feel that more and more, until eventually you realize that’s what this is all about.

What do you make of the idea that your mind and heart are not your enemies but are actually “trying to push impurities out,” just like a fever or a boil working to heal the body? Can you share a personal story of a time when you felt uncomfortable emotions rising up inside you – anger, fear, embarrassment – and what happened when you either resisted them or allowed them to move through? What helps you relax and keep your hands off when something difficult surfaces, trusting that the energy itself might transmute into something lighter if you simply let it come up?

About Awakin

Many moons ago, a couple friends got together to sit in silence for an hour, and share personal aha-moments. The ripples of that simple practice have now spread to millions over 20+ years, through local circles, weekly podcasts and more.
