A secret, as outlined by Webster, is something concealed, kept from view, not acknowledged, or exposed only to the instituted.
This year is exposing strategies for the ?initiated ?those of us inducted into life?s membership through trial by fire. One is in the teaching of learning how to accept imperfection, whether in things, circumstances, or people. Ariel Ford?s latest book Wabi Sabi Love, tells about the ancient Japanese tradition, which respects all things, including the old, the worn, and the imperfect. For instance, if an adored vase had a crack down the middle, a Japanese museum would place it on a pedestal and shine a focus on it.
We can value the cracks in ourselves and our relations in the same way.
My ma was legendary for her embroidery and her beautiful knitting. I might watch as her fingers, bent and knobby from arthritis, would move with expert grace across soft rows of yarn, the steady rhythm of clicking needles forming a sweater for me. Just before getting to the end, she would rip it all apart and start again. I might protest, enlightening her it looked perfect to me. ?No,? she would reply. ?I can see my mistake.?
Discovering the biggest difference between what is to be celebrated, or what wants to modify can be transformational and reflective of a new inner harmony according to the law of attraction and alternative sources. Techniques regularly lie in the absurdity, the riddle, the mystery. Life holds many techniques, often missed. Here are just seven:
Secret 1: Softly, make room for imperfection, in folk, or in yourself. Shine light on your circumstances with the beam of your acknowledgment. Psychological specialist, Carl Rogers asserts, ?The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am then I am able to change.?
Secret 2: Learn to live life through the senses, engaging life on its terms. Make allowances for life to talk to you. Take action of what's in front of you. Do not look back with regret or self-doubt.
Secret 3: Become whole-brained, by learning how to be ambidextrous. Practice using your non-dominant hand. Studies are showing great results for everything from diabetes, to possible impedance of the beginning of Alzheimer?s to an overall improvement in the standard of life.
Secret 4: Change your life by mastering your feelings. A Chinese Proverb says: Control the feelings or they'll control you. A little gland, the Amygdala in our brain, was for our protection from saber-toothed tigers. We still have to be able to spot danger, but anger is pinching your life. Learn how to let go by controlling the noise inside your head. Learn how to be tranquil.
Secret 5: Take dullness to an art form. Become an expert at one thing and the results will provide dividends in delightful and unexpected opportunities. If you're bored, you already know lots about something.
Secret 6: If you should happen to feel you have lost yourself in a relationship, or it?s become poisonous, take a time-out, give yourself the gift of space. Folks report feeling like themselves again and wonder how they ever got so lost. Fresh and provoked thoughts for change will appear.
Secret 7: Redirect the energy behind your biggest fear, problem, or challenge and find some way to be grateful. Be consistent and watch for the evidence of this power.
Self acceptance is about beginning, doing your absolute best and feeling happy about yourself. Today, my ma could have used her knitting mistakes creatively with sequins, or a colourful patch to celebrate the defect. I'm sure I'd have worn it with love ? Wabi Sabi style.
