Still looking for a rational answer? It feels good, but I need to know why? C’mon, just put that mind away for a bit. Enjoy without description.
An affective (feeling) of a growth experience is an experience that can’t be cognitised but is felt nonetheless. Feeling lighter, feeling more spacious, feeling just a bit more well?
A wonderful quote from Carl Rogers from a client at the end of counselling:
“I can’t tell just exactly what’s happened. It’s just that I felt that I exposed something, shook it up and turned it around; and when I put it back it felt better. It’s a little frustrating because i’d like to know exactly whats going on”
(Rogers, 1961: 151)
My words, its simple, you healed a little.
Yes the aha moment of healing who knows how or when, but it happens. Meditation is a great healer, meditate daily and things will heal and improve and you even know how …and that is a wonderful feeling

This came at a perfect time. As a student of philosophy and physics, understanding why has been a cornerstone of my intellectual and existential life. Yet, after a recent traumatizing event without any way of reaching a certain why, I found that I had to accept that and grow regardless.
I’m glad to see an independent verification of this cope and growth method. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. My background is academic, its been so hard to shed the need for explanation, its a process of letting go, and its lovely!

If only it were easier to put all words and concepts into the shredder and forget them only for a while. There is more than we can know going on but something within seems to need it. Solitude or at least silence have helped me to realize
