Existing only with an Intellectual Awareness almost inevitably leaves us feeling like we are caught in a dead end of painful feelings—and we can’t see a way out.
Because this level doesn’t actually lead to any significant healing, it is no wonder that we might have a tendency to turn away from these feelings or suppress them. If we aren’t given, or can’t find, real guidance on how we can take better care of ourselves at these times, there is limited relief in just noticing our distressing emotions.
At a deeper level of awareness, Awareness That Heals, we are not only aware of our present challenging feelings, but we experience a genuine motivation to move toward healing.
