Day 5: I am emotionally free

Day 5 Deepak Chopra's daily meditations on how to discover your "Synchrodestiny" out of his book, The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire: Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence.

After meditating for 20 minutes using the "so hum" breathing technique (breath in through your nose thinking "so" and out through your nose thinking "hum") I focussed on today's principle: Moksha which means I am emotionally free.

What could be better than this one? This is really about letting go of all resentment and fear. Chopra talks about how all people naturally want to avoid pain (commonly expressed as fear) and go towards pleasure (love). If life is a river and one bank is pain and one is pleasure, Chopra says we should aim for the middle of the river, neither strongly veering towards pleasure (addiction) or pain (no enjoyment of life). And anger is the most destructive of all emotions, renting the fabric of human existence, the knowledge that we are all one.

If things are challenging today, here is a Sutra statement: Imagine that you are free from blaming, free from feeling blame or guilt.

Which is totally easy for me, as long as I have no interactions with anyone. Well, actually, then I'd feel guilty. It's impossible (but to be striven for!).
