When we encounter a dark, unserving thought, rather than rejecting it, we welcome it with compassion, like an old friend. We hold it gently in our awareness, seeking to understand its originsโ€”what pain or unmet need it signifies. By loving this thought, we strip it of its power and transform it into a messenger of deeper truths. This practice is about dissolving negative patterns through the alchemy of love and understanding, embracing all aspects of our being. In loving what we once deemed unlovable, we reclaim a deeper sense of peace and wholeness.
