Hi Folks,

I read your story Jo, because I have been experiencing the same thing. After years of self improvement workshops, classes, seminars, meditating, it blows my mind that I experience this stuff all to often.

I’ve been told that, as I ‘cleanse my spirit’ so to speak, these things surface. It’s challenging to remain calm when you’re in the middle of the storm. To put it in Christian terms, this may be God’s way of tempering our heart. It’s a challenge also to display our compassion to others in these situations. It takes great forbearance / tolerance to do this and this is a way to build our virtue.

It’s not easy.
