#Personal growth can be accelerated simply by changing one's habits. It is the condition of dependency inherent in habits that must be broken. When you find yourself saying or thinking, "#But_I_cannot_change_that.. ...#I_always_do_that," then that is undoubtedly the first habit to break. Freedom of choice results from #mastering_habit. Independence from habits in the area of #sexuality should be cultivated, as #sexual_habits are the most restrictive. Any intentional act of will has a magical potency and is far more effective than a habitual or unintentional act.
The human body is capable of quite extraordinary adaptation, even when it seems set in a rigid pattern. The potential for change is always there, but it is better not to wait for a moment of crisis before ridding ourselves of habits. Our very survival as a species is due to our ability to change and adapt. #Mental_habits are more #difficult_to_deal with than #physical_ones, as they are less obvious. Often enough, they are inherited from parents or acquired through social conditioning. They restrict our whole way of life, insidiously providing a false sense of security. By causing us to forget our Higher Selves, they obliterate our awareness and are fatal to
an #intimate_relationship. Frequently, an #unawareness of #disagreeable_habits or #idiosyncrasies is a source of contention between people. Yet often, all that's needed to overcome this obstacle is the #willingness, on the part of both people, to change, grow, and evolve. When the initial fear of change is overcome, one can really begin to #enjoy_new_experiences.
#Sexual_habits are #especially_limiting and it is here that Tantra requires #absolute_adaptability. All Eastern teachings on the #sexual_mysteries point to the need for #variety and #uninhibited #spontaneity.
