 You can't! By loving yourself first, you have in effect become
unselfconscious -- the "contracted self" that wants to please everybody has
relaxed and you are now just living out of the "self" that is as big as the
universe. This is what bliss is. You can't maintain it because it is coming
from something much larger than you. When pain comes again, and it will, in
order to be healed, the trick is to stay in the expansive, unselfconscious
state. You'll learn to just feel the pain, without attaching any mental
content to it -- no stories, no analysis, no trying to get rid of it, no
"reason," just feeling. If you surrender to the pain in this way, not only
does it dissipate sooner, it actually turns into a kind of bliss itself.
This is true for physical pain, too, by the way. It is our need to interpret
our pain and make it mean something (usually negative about ourselves) that
reinforces the contracted self and perpetuates the problem. A lot of the
spiritual path is about being willing to give up personal history. This is
the long-winded explanation. An efficient practice is to offer EVERYTHING up
to God/dess! Love, Holly
