[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 613404, member: 1721"] Thank you, MWM. It is true, isn't it, that if we can incorporate both our intellectual and our emotional understandings in a balanced way, we are in that place called "Wise Mind." I like the imagery. I like the idea of calling that place we are trying to get to the "wise mind." That is where I need to be, balanced, serene and accepting, with my senses of humor and self intact. When I go through something like this thing with my son, or with what is coming with our daughter...there is a stuttering, lost part of me that comes to the forefront. Buried pretty deeply after all this time, but when I am hit deeply enough, that is the place I respond from. A guilty place, ringing with recrimination, with self accusation.... A place I have to find my way out of even to think straight. And I realize now, a place where echoes of all the other bad things that have ever happened to me have been tucked safely away. Like on that fishing line I posted about awhile back. So, in a strange way, every traumatic thing that happens to us, as we go through this with our kids, or with things at work, or in our primary relationships, is an opportunity to go back and heal the original trauma. Wise mind is a very good phrase to remember, and is a strong, positive state of mind to strive for. Cedar I have been doing cued meditation too, MWM. I become too sad when I meditate on my own, lately. I imagine I am processing alot of the repressed material I have been bringing up to have a look at. Cued meditation is amazing. :O) [/QUOTE]
