Losing balance for love is part of balancing the mind-------"Eat Pray Love"

I saw the original of this film 6 months ago and borrowed it from someone else.
It was also very accidental when I borrowed it. The person who bought it said that I couldn't read it. I didn't know why the woman in the book kept crying day and night, so I read it in the middle.
So, I borrowed the book back, and only read it off and on.

Until one day 4 months ago, I started picking up this long hiatus book again.
I remember well he was sitting next to me and we hadn't spoken to each other for nearly an hour.
That time I saw the heroine unfold her journey to India, one of my favorite chapters.
It's a session about self-forgiveness, and in short, the meditation and religious plots described in it make me fascinated.

Just a month ago, I went to the city I have always longed for by myself on a short-term trip.
I couldn't wait, because at that time I desperately needed to escape, very urgent.

And just now, I finished watching this remake.
Describe the film in a very old-fashioned way: it's about a woman's journey to self-healing.

I have seen many people's comments. Some people say that the filming is too pretentious, and it seems that it has passed. In real life, who would do those things like the heroine in the play?
I said, yes, that's me.
But I didn't deliberately want to follow those practices. In fact, both the original and the movie made me realize one thing after the fact: our trajectories are surprisingly similar.


We're afraid of change, we're afraid that things will fall apart
It's just that the world has a trap in reality that is touching every aspect of my life
Destruction is a gift
Destruction is the path to change
as I always believed: as long as there is change It 's good
we should be ready for never-ending change

That trip was the first time I went out alone, and I remember that the weather was bad and cold.
Waiting in the waiting room, I received text messages from two people on my mobile phone, one is my good friend, wishing me a happy trip.
One is a careful homeowner, who asked me to bring an umbrella in time when the weather conditions changed. (Very warm)
The trip went very smoothly. I ate a lot of snacks and visited a lot of beautiful scenery in the local area. It was very comfortable and enjoyable.
The local people are very friendly. Among the many friendly faces, I always remember the sentence that the college student who gave me advice on the maze said to me at the last parting: When crossing that bridge, be careful with yourself,
I said with a smile :
Every scene on the island, every person I meet by chance, makes me feel fresh and joyful.
It was a great trip and to this day the beach still pops into my mind from time to time, reminding me of the peaceful enjoyment of being with nature.


Maybe many people can't understand, shouldn't the heroine in the film be cured?
If a wonderful trip can't heal her inner wounds, what else can you expect?
Why is she still going to India? Why do those meditating and meditating mixed with a lot of sad emotions still flying around?
I think most people have never experienced an emotion called self-blame.
Forgive yourself, free yourself from remorse and self-blame, and accept everything that happened, it's actually very difficult.
Sometimes, you have to believe that something is pulling you.
That is, by chance, I started to try to get in touch with religion.
Once, a fellow religious student and I asked for advice on how to get rid of such a terrible emotion as regret.
He tried to use spiritual methods to guide him. I tried very hard, but it didn't work at all.
I remember he asked me a sentence: Are you unable to let go or do you simply don't want to let go?
The next day, this kind person left me a message saying that he had tried that feeling, and it was really hard to rule it out.
And give me a lot of other ways to exclude, I hope it can help me. Very grateful to him.
Now I am a vegetarian, learn to meditate, meditate every day and try to gain inner peace and tranquility by studying religion. (So ​​when the heroine in the show is meditating because she can't control her thoughts and think about it, I can feel that feeling. It's really hard to do that, hehe.)
The trip to India is my favorite This is also the most difficult part of a person's practice.
What you have to face is not what is on the outside, but the process of fighting and reconciling with the fragile self inside, and finally forgiving yourself.
Show your helpless and vulnerable side, understand yourself, open your heart, let the energy flow in, and wrap your whole self.
To those who have been separated, thank them from the bottom of my heart.
Be grateful for everything he has given you.
Accept an imperfect ending and let go of yourself completely.
Begin to understand a thing called love, gradually understand and get close to its essence, and finally be surrounded by love.
Just as the scene in the play has been saying repeatedly: I am with God, and God is with me.


As for Bali trips, I really don't have any experience to follow.
But about that belief, but never doubted.
Sometimes, I always encourage my friends around me, telling them that whatever happens, treat it as a "project".
With the help of what happened, open the doors of our souls that have been dusty for a long time, and open the eyes of our souls. Let us know which "homework" needs to be awakened within ourselves in this life.
Then, find the ultimate reality and grab it.

In the end I believed in what I call "seeking physics"
A force in nature is as real as the law of gravitation.
The law of "seeking physics" is this:
If you are brave enough to let go of everything that is familiar and reassuring, including your home or the resentment that has accumulated in your heart,
start a journey of seeking truth, both externally and internally, if you are truly willing to see all experiences as
one A revelation if you treat everyone you meet as a mentor and most importantly if you are ready to face and forgive
that unpleasant part of yourself then no one can stop you from learning the truth.

Right now, I'm only on the most difficult "trip to India".
But for the "trip to Bali", there is no doubt that he will eventually come.
I hope that at that time, I can remember this sentence: Losing balance for love is part of balancing the soul.
=====================================================
=====================================================
Half a year later, I went through the "trip to Bali".
It was a trip that hit the rocks and ended in failure
. Now I understand deeply and clearly that I will go back to the cycle and go through it all over again. It's painful and painful
, but I still to spend. . . . . .

    "Heartache is not a bad thing, it means you have paid." I prefer the Taiwan version of the translated title "Enjoy, Travel Alone". Most people will always change and be out of balance in their lives, but not many people dare to admit and make changes. Although the movie is divided into three sections, the length of two and a half hours still needs to be compressed again. Some people say that this is a groaning movie, but I think many things can only be understood through experience. ★★★
