Stillness, Present Universe!
No fog today. Instead, there are these filamentous streaks and curls of clouds brushed here-and-there across the sky, thickening eastward and accented with hints and highlights of the sun. It looks to be a nice day; we are fortunate to not be in the path of the hurricane.
I ran out of steam last night. I think my two days of paddling, and not enough sleep earlier in the week caught up with me. I slept soundly last night, but feel sluggish this morning. Sleep Scale: 3.5/5.
Dear One, one of the questions I’ve been holding, asked by both my mentor and my business lizard, is what is it, exactly, that I do? It has been worthwhile to consider my answer to this.
My coaching is based in the practice of mindful awareness. It is about self-realization – observing and understanding how our thoughts and beliefs are influencing the life we have; recognizing how those thoughts and beliefs limit and constrict our creativity, imagination, and potential; and practicing to expand and release our limiting beliefs, in order to free ourselves to breathe easier, to feel more deeply, and to live more joyful and satisfying lives.
And, who doesn’t want a more joyful, satisfying life, right?
The challenge can often be that we want change, yet we think it’s too hard and uncomfortable to change. Mindful awareness puts us square on the path through what Martha Beck calls “The Ring of Fire.” That is the dynamic experience of facing our limiting beliefs, which we have often spent our entire lives believing, but also pushing hard against, and thereby also using to define ourselves; and burning those beliefs away through the fire.
This can seem terrifying – “But, who am I now?”
The gift is that you set yourself free to be your True Self; whoever you dream to be.
Please consider this Prompt:
Dear One, choose five dream lives you would create for yourself, and write a paragraph for each, describing what each life would be like.
Then, looking at those descriptions, identify words or themes that appear in more than one of your dream lives.
Would you use these words or themes to describe your current life?
The challenge becomes – if you want that change in your life, what are you willing to do for it? What are you willing to let go?
Freedom tastes of Love. A Guiding Principle. Thank You, Dear Guides!
