The Bardo State of Mind and Heart

Reflection after client session : 
when starting to awake we see all with new eyes . Our life , people and their "shortcomings" , the daily life struggle we have created out of our woundedness. This is a tough period of Bardo . 

The old is not totally gone, the new not totally clear and manifest. In this Bardo time we deal with tendencies to grasp and get back to the old patterns and feelings in order to feel safe and home.
The Bardo's bottomlessness scares us deep down to the bones..
It is a good thing to make that state conscious. Being conscious about it allows us to make more conscious choices... We can identify where we grasp , we can choose where we still want / need to hold onto something and where we are ready to loosen the grip and see where we end up when we leave ourselves to the flow ...
We choose where we can die into and are ready for total surrender and where we are not ready yet. Making the Bardo process conscious is making the dark hole conscious we have been so afraid of most of our lifes and meet it with open eyes .

Bardo : The Tibetan word bardo (བར་དོ་ Wylie: bar do) means literally "intermediate state"—also translated as "transitional state" or "in-between state" or "liminal state". 

Vulnerability is Key

Some reflections after a couple of Wisdom Council Session with different clients during the last week. 
***************************
Going beyond the stories and beyond all the different layers of emotions, this is what I find :

What is it we suffer of : Dis-Connection and Fear.

What has brought us there :
a couple of events we have interpreted in a way that leads to hiding emotions/thoughts/who we are in the closet. And start pretending and trying to get "perfect"

What is it that keeps us there :
the pure thought that we are not enough and will suffer even more loss when we let our selves be seen .

The only way out :
unraveling the interpretations of the stories as NOT true. Understanding we are enough. Let our selves be seen and heard as they are . NOT numbing anything anymore.
Allow our hearts to be broken open by What Is - all colours - no avoiding.
Stop trying to finding a remedy for controlling life.
Be. Who . We . Are.

Vulnerability is Key.
VULNERABILITY ... what is that for you ... and why do you fear to go there ?
