Check out this amazing 10 week meditation program my teacher is offering! I’m choosing to sit this one out as I’m already enrolled in her 8-month program which overlaps this one. She provides so much content and support that I don’t have the time for both. But I can wholeheartedly recommend Eva Beronius as a guide who is quite capable of showing you the realm beyond identification with the mind, and the freedom available to all of us who are willing to do the work.
I’ve copied and pasted the latest email from Eva below. I hope you’ll at least check it out, maybe get on her mailing list or listen to her podcast. I have no financial affiliations here, I’m just sharing the work that has shifted my trajectory dramatically. Plus there’s a significant discount available until the end of the month.
Here’s what Eva has to say.
Pamela,
9 years ago, I didn’t know how far away from feeling alive I was.
I thought what I was experiencing was living.
Because it seemed to be how most people around me were living.
I felt tired, drained of energy, and uninspired.
I experienced episodes of anxiety and panic attacks.
I had reactions in my relationships that I didn’t understand because none of them felt truly like me.
Insecurities, jealousy, and anger that I felt ashamed of after they appeared.
Reactions, patterns, and emotions that I wanted nothing to do with.
So I tried to escape.
By managing them with control and distraction.
Diving into work projects. And life projects. And working out.
I got addicted to the dopamine and the satisfaction that these projects gave my ego, and my mind would drive my body hard.
With no energy left for being, for enjoying.
Without connection to what I truly wanted or trust in myself.
And the emotional reactions would still bubble up – often stronger than ever when they managed to surface.
Do you recognize this, Pamela?
Reactions that seem scary and out of control?
Negative mind chatter that is weighing you down?
Escaping into work or distractions?
Lack of energy and no trust in life or what you want?
And even when you have started growing your awareness, changing beliefs, and have found self-awareness and healing work…
…the voices have morphed and are telling you that you:
👉 have to practice more
👉 will feel bad if you miss your morning meditation
👉 should do more journaling
👉 should be further along by now
👉 are failing when you’re having an uncomfortable emotion
👉 are failing when you’re making a judgment
And every time your mind is telling you this, or something like it, you can feel your body contract, your stress levels going up.
The impulse to fix, to do better, to work harder.
Or to pull a blanket over your head and give up.
Even though you are trying to counter with breathing and gratitude.
That old program of protection, “shoulds”, and “musts” is still there, just in a new form.
And you feel beaten down by it.
Trapped in your head.
Stuck in analyzing and trying to figure it all out.
Struggling with feeling and connecting with your emotions.
Struggling with connecting with what you want.
Are you willing to keep paying the price of identifying with your mind?
Or is this a time in your life when you feel ready to make a deeper shift in how you relate to your mind?
Often, the price of making the investment in commitment, time, energy, intent, and money to make the change, is a fraction of the investment you’re making in managing the old structure.
The investment you’re making every day into believing lies.
Today, I know that 9 years ago I was living without magic.
Disconnected from the magic inside that had been there all along.
I was identified with my thinking mind, and therefore, believing its view of the world and myself.
Today, life is still this strange, un-knowable place with pain and struggles at times…
The difference is that I truly and fully love it.
Every moment of it.
That I feel alive.
That I feel consciousness inside me and in everything around me.
That I feel what I want and navigate from there.
That I allow all experiences – especially the hurt and discomfort – to crack me further open.
I want you to experience that too.
That’s why I share what I share, in the best way I can at the moment.
So I encourage you to invest in magic.
In feeling fully alive.
In changing the relationship with your mind.
And I celebrate however you make that investment.
