Breakthrough Story 🌬️😈✨❣️
BEFORE- I always felt everything very deeply, not being able to function in society, developing a lot anxiety, panic attacks and depression since I was a teenager. This of course kept getting fueled in school, work, the whole matrix, parents telling me it’s just time to get on with it when I opened up about the depression I experienced. CRISIS- I experienced 3 depressions in this life and realised i can’t keep going to the doctor asking for anti- depressants and my last depression was that scary that I had thoughts of suicide. CHASE- I then became very determined to get better in an alternative way. I sat there for days and many hours researching what helps with depression and anxiety- the message kept coming back- what helps is to meditate.🧘♀️ CONFLICT- I started going to local talks and meditation classes and it was very helpful and I started to feel better but what i didn’t realise was that I wasn’t self compassionate enough, still beat myself up for how I felt and not feeling good or worthy enough (not enough self- awareness/ self- love). One big thing what got stuck with me in a talk of the Buddhist Monk was when she said : “YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS” - I REALLY WANTED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT 👌so I googled of how to become a meditation teacher, hoping I would learn everything about teaching others and understanding what that means : YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS ?🤔👌 BREAKTHROUGH- Yes 🙌 This is exactly what I got from the one week meditation teacher training course after sitting for hours in meditation and spending days in silence which I have never done before to this intensity 🤫 There was one very dark moment sitting in a meditation, where it got extremely scary and my mind was bombarding me with the most scary thoughts 😈 and then there came the moment after that : FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I was able to see very clearly that I am not my thoughts- I became the observer in that moment 👀 LIBERATION 🎉 From that day on I never experienced a depression ever since and it’s been 8 years since- Buddha calls this process: Entering the stream- once you truly have seen that you are not your thoughts 💭, you can never unsee it again 🎉..only forget (once you been to Paris, you know what it looks like)
