Banana: Humility Rooted in Calmness |
Humility is self-honesty; it is self-forgetfulness; it is recognizing the great realities of life outside your little preoccupations. As Paramhansa Yogananda put it, "have neither a superiority nor an inferiority complex." Seek the simple courage to project your energy outward, away from yourself, instead of drawing people's energy inward to yourself. Enhances: Calmness; ability to step back and observe; non-reactiveness; responding positively to your outer environment; understanding that "what goes around comes around"; having a healthy distance from people and circumstances; objectivity. Usage: While using this essence, think of the sweet softness of a ripe but firm banana. Let that thought enter stealthily into your heart. Affirmation: I am a ripple of calmness among towering waves of egotism of life's restless sea. |
