How Can We Lessen/Heal the Suffering in Our Lives?
Request for stories
I am rewriting a book “Path from Suffering into Grace.” The themes involve easing suffering (physical, emotional, & mental) in our lives and the intervention of Divine Grace/synchronicity/miracles when they occur. I am using examples from my life and request examples from other people’s lives so more readers can relate. Readers involve beginners and advanced people on a spiritual path of self-growth and healing.
I am requesting examples from your life or your client’s lives (names can be changed for confidentiality) that illustrate these themes. How did avoidance of pain or your emotional reactions increase your suffering? What were some further causes of your suffering like for example unawareness? What were some of the remedies like increased understanding of Truth or being in the Now and accepting situations, as they were that assisted in decreasing your suffering? Did you have any experiences of Divine Grace, coincidences, miracles, or synchronicity (different terms for the same thing), which eased suffering?
According to Yogananda in the Bhagavad Gita P. 1074, verse 56 we free ourselves from suffering by a) 25% our own efforts b) 25% upon a spiritual teachers’ blessing c) & 50% by God’s Grace, which we have no control over.
Easing suffering suggests making our best effort to improve ourselves through personal inner emotional and spiritual work. It indicates the assistance of outer and inner teachers who can guide us. Most important Grace involves surrender of our minds, fears, and illusions of what we believe to be reality, to God’s Grace in whatever form that comes. Divine Grace may even involve additional temporary suffering as the conditions for past suffering dissolve.
Areas to consider: conscious choices, energetic healing methods, facing and overcoming fears, healing codependency, the inner child, and the shadow, & meditation.
Thank you for your assistance.
Your name and website can be placed in back of the book, if you want, in appreciation of your contribution. Also your contribution will be credited to you. I will receive final approval from you after editing and showing what chapter the examples will be placed.
In gratitude
