When consulting with other facilitators, I found that every one had a story of similar difficulties. I think we all aspire to Aileen's description of a process that allows radical acceptance of all, but in for example a monthly group with little time to process it is hard to manage. My own goal in writing the post was to offer suggestions of how to manage the less than ideal situations that do not allow for enough time to process. Also, I hope we all can find compassion and acceptance of ourselves when it is not possible at this moment in time to resolve a relationship difficulty. In my discussions with others it is so common a problem, that like shen pa I think it must be the human condition. <BR/><BR/>By the way I am very grateful to Aileen for sending me to look up what 'shen pa” is... There is a long, good description of it on Pema Chodron's web site.(http://www.shambhala.org/teachers/pema/shenpa3a.php) One part of the notion I liked was that the human condition is one of dissatisfaction. This grabbed me as I struggle with wanting things to be different than they are. Pema suggests awareness of the places that hook our sense of dissatisfaction might lead us gently toward more self and other compassion.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Aileen for your thoughtful comment on my post.Elizabeth Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807994911867731672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3019816468081249500.post-70645602242149830082007-12-30T16:15:00.000-05:002007-12-30T16:15:00.000-05:00Aileen,I love that welcoming attitude towards all ...Aileen,<BR/>I love that welcoming attitude towards all those "not-me!" projections. Something inside me relaxes to hear it.<BR/><BR/>And "so true" I feel, the observation that I need to feel, find, and own the projections in me before (or in conjunction with) dealing with them in an AM group.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>AnnAnn McNealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582439307617238027noreply@blogger.com
