The Purpose of Suffering • X18

We will learn: How suffering prepares us for enjoyment and happiness The first step to finding our way out of our mental suffering How to navigate the emotions and thoughts that are surfacing right now both inside ourselves and within our personal relationships   Whether you’ve gone through something big and traumatic, or just feel overwhelmed by the day to day hardships, we all suffer. Even those that seem to have everything handed to them on a silver platter will find a way to create their own suffering. What if the number one thing you can do to ease your suffering is to figure out how to love yourself… actually realizing who you are at your core and understanding how to meet your own needs on a moment to moment basis.   Our relationships with ourselves are the most important relationships we have and ironically the ones that tend to be the most neglected.    Until we start connecting with ourselves and finding our own center, we’re going to continue to be thrown by everything happening around us.   So that’s what we’re talking about today.    Our guest is Blake D. Bauer, the author of the international bestselling book You Were Not Born To Suffer. He is a world-renowned teacher and speaker with an extensive background in psychology, alternative medicine, nutrition, traditional healing, and mindfulness meditation.    His expertise comes from his personal experience overcoming deep suffering and addiction as well as what he’s learned helping over 100,000 people worldwide.   Sign up for Mind Love Premium here.
