 I read your text on your website. it's amazing. so beautiful image of the sitar. that's exactly what I've experienced with my emotions and that's where authenticity starts - feeling whatever you're feeling each moment. ❤️ 

yesterday my ego was hurt cause I thought someone was angry at me and was avoiding me. I told this to a friend and she reminded me that it was someone's feelings (if it's not my projection, cause it can be) and I should accept them as they are, but, of course, feeling sad about that is also ok. so I could let go the resistance to feel what I was feeling and was more open to embrace what the other supposedly feels.

observing my resistance to feel is mostly what I do daily. thank you so much for sharing this ❤️ 
 I'm glad it helped.  It's important to feel what we feel so we can know, truly and to see the beginnings of the self destructive stories we tell ourselves at times.  These stories are part of the human condition, paying attention to them but not holding on to them, we can see the bigger picture including ourselves.  Practicing this way, it becomes easier to know when we are lying to ourselves and when we see clearly. 💘 
 my body rested when I read this. ❤️ thank you! 
 sounds like you dropped something.  👍💪
