Stop merely coping!
Meditation is like a vaccination that protects you from chronic worry, anger, low moods and stress.
Ego is a survival mechanism that helps us to cope with difficult circumstances that then become habitual and repetitive. Chronic anxiety and depression are part of an ego’s way of coping with difficult emotions, but in the process of coping perpetuate the states of anxiety or depression they are helping us to cope with. It is like we build a castle to be safe in and then we become trapped in the castle and the castle becomes a prison. A prison that keeps us stuck in familiar repeating mild to moderate misery. We get caught in coping with life rather than living life to the fullest. Meditation combined with proper instruction can be a path of liberation from the ego’s limited ways of coping to the freedom of living your life to the fullest.
Meditation helps to loosen our ego’s self concept and sense of separation from the rest of life. This allows us to feel our oneness with life. This is LOVE.
One of the primary ways your ego keeps you safe is telling you aren’t able to do things really want. Either because your not capable or worthy. When under the rule of ego we are controlled by fear. When liberated from ego defences we are motivated by love and joy.
One of my teachers Lama Ole often said, “People that do what they love are happy. Those that don’t are pissed off, anxious or depressed.”
Although many people are intuitively drawn to meditation and even know that science has validated it’s power in improving mental health, their ego finds reasons to not do this. Egos know that if you really get into meditation you won’t need your ego’s self limiting concepts and habits anymore.
