Creative Letting Go
Experiencing Dakini Bliss
This is a beautiful insight from a creative sort who has found a true-for-her walk from dejection and pain to acceptance and openness. This is an inspiring essay on how to "let it go" probably meant for precisely the *us* who are loathe to take anyone seriously when they utter such a phrase and perhaps for the reason that we [HSP's for example] know the utterer has yet to learn this almost artful (spiritual? evolved?) trait.
From the page...
You just gotta let it go is a common admonition among creative types when commiserating about learning to deal with the many rejections that happen when doing what we love. Developing a thick skin takes practice and constant reminders that sometimes what we do won't be recognized or appreciated, but that doesn't mean we should abandon the effort. In fact, thinking differently about rejections may take us places we never expected.
And this applies to life in all of its forms. Rejection, pain, manipulative people, other peoples' drama, chaos...gossip, rumors, fear, terror, painful memories, guilt... This is what I so love about this article. She takes us through her specific idea of *rejection* but then invites us to think differently about the situation.
I would encourage you to take the five minutes to read this if you have trouble "letting go" and see how it is she deals with it. I think the 5 minutes anyone spends could save hours or many days spent over any one common emotional disturbance.
And she closes...
Dakini Bliss takes me from dejection to curiosity, and into the opennes of what might develop that I hadn't even considered. And by calling the wordless anxiety that comes with the inevitable rejections I receive as a writer my Dakini Bliss, I have found the rebuffs begin to lose their bite and my determination to keep living my passion regardless of how it is received in the world is renewed. Will rejections ever stop hurting? Probably not. But seeing them as Dakini Bliss transforms them from failure to limitless opportunity.
