Many of you probably think that aging is something that is only part of the normal life cycle. If the concept of life cycle is then something like "what is born, grows old and dies, then it is not surprising that this is where it is headed. Although it is likely not alone in believing this desire to challenge taking a step back from this belief for a moment. What I would like you to try now is to repeat the statement itself once again, as it is not hear the words. Instead listen to the words you feel inside. I know this may sound strange or feel a little, but try anyway callenging.
Alternatively you can let someone else read it to you as you focus on and listen to the feelings it evokes in its interior. So again the statement is: (A) "One is born, grows old and dies." Now if you are a sensitive person I can guess that the feelings that came with the audience that statement were not exactly pleasant. Go to Jessica Michibata for more information. For example did you feel any of the following: saddness, heaviness, frustration, anger, hopelessness, helplessness, a sinking feeling, feeling limited or trapped? If so, what do you think these feelings are trying to communicate with you about the statement (A)? Well, if you consider this long enough, you probably will agree that these feelings are suggesting to you that this statement is good for you is, which is toxic for you. Just think about it.
