This week Robert concludes the telling of his journey through the hardest 10 years of his life as he navigated finding balance both emotionally and chemically after his kidney transplant. For many years he could not feel the joys of life. He had to dig deep to further develop his capacity to use inquiry, will, and focus on the intention to find what thoughts would be possible and helpful. Hopefully, as you are listening, Robert's story enables you to see your most challenging emotions, whether it be anxiety, depression, fear, or beyond. As members of Western society, we simply have not been supported to address these emotions, both inwardly and outwardly. Robert begins the episode with a brief recap of what they have gone over in the previous episodes of this series. We strongly encourage you to go back and listen to the four episodes beginning this section and utilize The Introspective Guides at AwarenessThatHeals.org.
This series of episodes are exclusively dealing with the very most difficult feelings you have ever had and offers tools for how to take care of yourself moment to moment, the next hour, and the next day. Cultivating awareness means seeing it, accepting it, staying with it, and learning how to care for something we usually reject. This is a very viable practice that with determination can help transform our most challenging feelings into wisdom. The key is that wisdom develops as an ally the more you practice it.
