โจ Day 10 - Identity, Ego & the Path Home โจ
Who are you when the noise softens... when the breath deepens... when you feel safe enough to be fully yourself? Today we expand our reflection on samskara through the lens of identity. ๐ The Ego & the Pain Body The ego is not the enemy. It is the conditioned self shaped by past experiences. It lives in what is often called the pain body - where samskara influence how we think, react, protect, and perform. When we act from this identity, we often move from: โ ๏ธ scarcity โ ๏ธ lack โ ๏ธ fear And yet, through practice, something beautiful happens. As we breathe, move, sit, and reflect, these patterns surface. When they feel seen, safe, and embraced with compassion, they naturally release. ๐ฟ The Authentic / Higher Self At the same time, and often quietly, another identity becomes clearer. This is your truth. The self beneath conditioning. The one that knows. โจ This is where Dharma lives. Dharma means living in alignment with your true nature and purpose - acting in congruence with intuition, wisdom, and right action. When we move from Dharma, we: ๐ flow with ease ๐งญ meet obstacles with discernment ๐ฅ act from clarity, not reaction ๐ embody Bliss We become present, magnetic, abundant. This is not aspiration. This is potential remembered. ๐ช Reflection & Sharing Invitation ๐ Take a moment to feel into this: When do I feel most connected to my higher self? An activity, a place, a group, or a moment where your soul feels at home and safe to express itself authentically. ๐ฌ Share if it feels aligned. Then make it real: โ๏ธ Statement of Resolve: "I commit to (soul-inspiring activity) (how often)." Small, sincere commitments change lives. Share your statement in the comments below ๐ฑ Letโs choose, again and again, to return home to who we truly are. Stay Blissed, Adam ๐ฌ๏ธ๐โจ๐ค
