Squeezed

To squeeze means to apply force.

When we are squeezed — through job loss, divorce, sudden reversals, unexpected plot twists, accidents and injuries, etc. — this gives us an opportunity to meet our tucked away psychic content.

In fact, it is precisely because we tucked this content away that we invited the precisely right circumstances to dig it out of us.

During such times, our mission is two fold: 1) give space for what’s coming up to breathe and 2) listen very closely to what messages are coming across.

You can learn a lot about yourself while being squeezed.

While what you are learning may not be pleasant — truth tends to have a bitter taste — it is what will eventually free us from what seems like a death grip.

It helps to remember that yes, your ultimate mission is to love but we can only do that when we understand.
