The Power of Undivided Attention, One Moment at a Time
Parental love could gift a newborn with a lifetime of peace and harmony, and just as potently it could impose on it a lifetime of confusion and misery.
All parents love their children and they always do so to the best of their ability. But why are so many people plagued by feelings of emptiness and alienation, and sometimes just collapsed at the height of their career and business success? And why are a few lucky others seemingly so able to keep calm and charge on even in the midst of severe crises?
The majority of us, men and women, spend much of our adulthood trying to sort through vague feelings of unworthiness, injustice, and emotional turbulence. We cannot seem to come to terms with where this “pain body” is originated and, thus, unknowingly propagate similar tragedies -- outward and downward -- to almost everyone who comes into our sphere of influence. As concluded in The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self, Dr. Alice Miller said, “I have come to see that this [universal human] tragedy cannot be undone in a single generation.”
Planet Earth is increasingly vibrating higher and higher in the frequency of pure love. The higher the Earth vibration rises, the more rapidly those who are bogged-down by emotional imbalance and mental stress -- because of having been deprived of the experience of “truth love” as elaborated in Thich Nhat Hanh’s 1997 book titled, True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart -- will have a tough time thriving on the new planet of love: The New Earth.
In this book, Mei Yao will share with us “the key” she uncovered for unleashing this most potent human energy -- parental love -- in the most beneficial and natural way, as demonstrated by her mother-in-law, Mama Shiangrue, an extraordinarily wise woman despite (or in spite of) her having never been formally educated. She was simply a woman who knew how to love, and in a very Thich Nhat Hanh way.
