? 利用和放弃负面情绪
无论何时,当你感到内在升起了负面的情绪,无论它是被外在的因素引发,一个念头,或者甚至你不知道是什么特别的导火索引发的,把它看成是有个声音正在提示“注意。此时此地。醒来吧。从你的头脑中出来。进入当下。”
即使是最轻微的烦躁都有它的意义,需要被承认和好好看看;否则,就会有一个渐渐累积的未被观察到的自动反应。
? USING AND RELINQUISHING NEGATIVITY
Recurring negative emotions do sometimes contain a message, as do illnesses. But any changes that you make, whether they have to do with your work, your relationships, or your surroundings, are ultimately only cosmetic unless they arise out of a change in your level of consciousness. And as far as that is concerned, it can only mean one thing: becoming more present. When you have reached a certain degree of presence, you don't need negativity anymore to tell you what is needed in your life situation.
But as long as negativity is there, use it. Use it as a kind of signal that reminds you to be more present.
You may be able to just drop it once you realize that you don’t want to have this energy field inside you and that it serves no purpose. But then make sure that you drop it completely. If you cannot drop it, just accept that it is there and take your attention into the feeling.
