We have so many preconceived ideas of how things in our lives are suppose to look in order to be “right” that it is hard to see all the ways we are affected by this. I was very aware of the image my friend had in a recent conversation with her. I was dealing with a physical issue and since we are both Yuen Practitioners, we often work on each other. She said, “As practitioners, we don’t need to have stuff come up in our bodies.”
I felt she was saying that I was somehow not as good as I could or should be if I was experiencing physical symptoms rather than clearing the problem on an energy level before it could manifest in physical form. I felt an immediate rejection of what she said.
