Everything that upsets you (without exception) is a messenger from the universe, sent to help you. Always look within (using felt-perception, not your analytical mind) to feel the true cause of your upset. Watch your mind come up with its protests, blame and ‘special exceptions’ and just let them be. Return to your feelings, feel the fear, anger or grief that lies at the heart of your upset. The mind stories about the upset are all mere projections – regardless of how plausible and justified they seem.
like the sperm to an egg,
And the river to the sea,
The heart will find a way,
For true love to be.
We’ve all had fearful experiences as a child and as an adult, and we mostly react by mentally escaping into the illusionary corridors of time. In this mentally manufactured dream world we pretend everything is all right or will be all right some time in the future. Through fear, we trade being present for the mental armoury of pretence.
Through embracing physical presence we change our approach from fearfully hiding in a mental dream world to recognising ALL experience as an opportunity for growth.
Embrace today, fellow warriors of love; be present and grow!
The quality of my experience is determined by the quality of my emotional condition.
My emotional condition is determined by my willingness to fully face my imprinted childhood emotional charge without turning away and to fully digest it with gusto!
Anxiety, irritability, fear, anger are all echoes of a suppressed childhood emotion that’s never been allowed to surface. We’d rather sedate or control such feelings with meds, alcohol, drugs, TV or worry.
There is another option.
By being aware in the present moment through meditation and other portals, we are able to sense the causal feelings behind our discomfort.
Perceiving these feelings without condition, releases the movement of energy (trapped in the inner-child) and allows it to flow freely and harmoniously again.
Inspired by the teachings of Michael Brown’s ‘Presence Process’
Hi, have a great day today – may you bathe in the innocence, joy and creativity of your perfect inner being! Blessings to you, dearest friend 😀
Breathing meditation:
IN: Feel the air and smile,
OUT: feel the calm and relax
IN: breath into any knots and smile,
OUT: Let go of any deeper tension
IN: Feel the joy of NOW and smile, smile, smile
OUT: Relax, fall deeply into the arms of love! ❤
Sunday’s group zentangle meditation. The chattering mind ceased for awhile!
Creativity is born out of stillness
“…it’s getting in touch with the stillness within, where there’s no mental noise, and out of that stillness, when the time is right, sometimes an impulse comes – a feeling, a strong sense that something wants to be born into this world.” Eckhart Tolle
TO A CHILD
The greatest poem ever known
Is one all poets have outgrown:
The poetry, innate, untold
Of being only four years old.
Still young enough to be a part
Of Nature’s great impulsive heart,
Born comrade of bird, beast and tree
And unselfconscious as the bee-
And yet with lovely reason skilled
Each day new paradise to build
Elate explorer of each sense,
Without dismay, without pretence!
In your unstained transparent eyes
There is no conscience, no surprise:
Life’s queer conundrums you accept,
Your strange Divinity still kept . . .
And life, that sets all things in rhyme,
May make you poet, too, in time-
But there were days, O tender elf,
When you were Poetry itself!
Christopher Morley
