"Short and Sweet" I love that practice, and I m going all for it :-) I can already fear clear results, so simple, funny how it is so easy to confuse spiritual value with spiritual glamour, and overlook such practice. It was blessing to take up this practice. Thanks Stephane!

Yeah, what back then helped me the most were these distincions about ego energies within you: 1. Pride/Denial 2. Greed/Desire 3. Anger/Hatred 4. Envy/Jealousy 5. Sloth/Apathy/Laziness 6. LUST 7. Guilt/Shame There you have a clear starting point, you can feel them in chakra 2,3 and 4 every day. It's when you feel these emotions/energies that you have to be conscious. or in other words: - accept them fully - enhance them, make them stronger - be aware/conscious - watch them - don't let them "take you over" And with the thoughts it's a bit different because you can't really feel them in your body, but non the less they express themselves as pride, fear and so on. “Be kind, generous, forgiving, and compassionate towards all

It’s when you feel these emotions/energies that you have to be conscious.

or in other words:
- accept them fully
- enhance them, make them stronger
- be aware/conscious
- watch them
- don’t let them “take you over”

And with the thoughts it’s a bit different because you can’t really feel them in your body, but non the less they express themselves as pride, fear and so on.

I've been feeling more and more like I'm closing in on Love these days, practicing forgiveness and having compassion for everything. But while reading this I noticed how I sometimes exclude my ego from this new lifestyle, silently telling it to shut up instead of simply ignoring its antics and forgiving it. Blessings, Tommy As always, thanks for sharing!
