The gentlest thing

Number 43 of the Tao te Ching says:  The gentlest thing in the world overcomes the hardest thing in the world.  That which has no substance enters where there is no space. This shows the value of non-action. When we as individuals choose a softer path, often referred to as a Yin or more feminine approach to situations, conflict and life in general.  We listen, and we act from a place of balance.  Feeling, the gentle sensations within us naturally produces this kind of experience.  Choose to feel it is safe and leads to harmony in one’s life.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

The mind wants to solve

The mind wants to solve problems. That is an excellent thing to do if the thing you are solving is something logical.  However the feelings within us are not based in logic, they are feelings.  They are not something you “reason with”, they are sensations.  Let them be sensations and allow yourself to simply feel gently and allow the issue to unwind.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott
