Question
Hi there, I am wondering if there is a specific mudra or breathing exercise or meditation you can tell me of that will help me deal with a domineering intrusive father who keeps trying to control me. I would like to deal with this situation in a peaceful manner as often talking about it with him either keeps things the same or makes them worse so I am focusing now on working on myself from within so that my external reality changes. any help on this? thanks :)
Answer
The simple answer is yes. However it can take time to tame ones mind. Especially, with family members our tempers and feelings are more easily enflamed. Remember no one can take your mind or rob you of your intrinsic goodness. To remember that you have a pure clean and clear nature that is always with you, remember to show yourself the kindness you would like to receive from your father. Begin with yourself. See if you can be kind to yourself in ways he is not. Continually nurture and bathe yourself in this kindness remembering at all times that you are intrinsically pure and good at heart. As you learn to tap into your basic goodness and remain in it, when those around you cannot, it creates an opportunity for them to relate to you in a kind and clear manner.
This is not an easy path but sometimes in life it is the most difficult path that leads to the greatest accomplishments.
