Happy May❣️
I hope you are all well and embracing the power and exuberance of springtime.
We are in times of great chaos and transformation...still..and the felt sense can be unsettling, even in its odd familiarity.
I heard the most amazing and relevant advice the other day from Buddhist teacher Tenzin Rinpoche:
Turn off the search engine of your mind, the endless DOING and learn to trust in BEING!
In the same way that your battery life is shortened on a phone always searching for service, so are your mind, physical/energy body and spirit drained by the constant weighing and measuring of EVERYTHING!!
Constant DOING and worrying is depleting to the essential functions necessary for healing-especially the immune system.
We live as if every moment has to be Googled and figured out; and that only serves to steal the preciousness of the moments of our fragile lives. It can also be an avoidance technique, keeping us insulated from the messiness and inevitable pain and confusion of life itself.
I invite you to take some time this spring to drop out of searching and into being, fully in this moment, in this body, in this room...which is just like THIS.
Choose to be fully present in this moment, which is in fact the ONLY moment you can ever be sure of... the only moment you have to live.
Sometimes, you will discover your pain, your heartbreak, your trauma, your grief. But this time, experiment with not running away. Agree to see what is already so, and what needs to be healed. Let the emotions run through you and absolutely reach out for support if you need it. Unfreezing the stuck emotions is the beginning of healing.
Stuck energy causes DIS-EASE and sometimes actual physical/emotional/spiritual DISEASE; restoring flow allows deep healing.
I believe that this
pandemic has revealed a lot-like how stuck and unwell and unconscious we have been. While the challenges remain, we can choose to turn this crisis into an opportunity for healing and choose to write our own life story, rather than being unconsciously carried along by the unhealthy energy of the collective and the energetic impressions of our past, both personal and ancestral.
Bring your anxiety into your heart, draw your fear into your warmth, bring your sorrow into the beauty of your soul.
Grow a tongue tender and brave, leaving the cold, hard, poison voice of shame and criticism behind and whisper.
Whisper into the centre of those feelings as you draw them near
“ What are you needing me to hear? “
For within their shaky voice and your own love and respect, is a learning.
Some medicine that leads you closer to you, closer to freedom.
~Brigit Anna McNeill
We have become a society of experts, of Do-ers.
I invite you to explore the rich fertile ground of BEING. It is way past time. We are individually and collectively out of balance.
Let's shift the pendulum back to healing and heart-full-ness❣️
You might have done
the external work
but your mind is starving
for internal attention
