My big question is how to approach negative emotions and thoughts. I feel that it is necessary to allow myself to feel and think everything before healing comes. What you cannot feel you cannot heal approach.
I have watched Sr.Shivani's videos and found them very helpful. However, there are moments when it seems too easy to just 'change one's thought' by making a decision. This reminds me of the approach in religions where the 'right' way comes from following a prescribed path for salvation. I think it can easily lead to detachment from oneself as the true place and source of the great spirit's powers. It is a short cut we would love to take since somebody else shows us the way and thus we are not re--sponsible.
Being out of touch with our sensations, emotions and even true thoughts is a pervasive phenomena we people in the West experience. I know that the path here is not simple religous dogma. It is by far more complex and entails personal spiritual practise.
In short, how do I heal and avoid premature separation from negativity?
