What helps us heal? What is the magic that helps us transform? How do we awaken?
The Tao speaks of being vs. non-being --in other words, of the material world vs. emptiness (or presence)-- and it says that though we see and engage with the material, what really matters is the emptiness (the experience, our inner presence).
In order to awaken, to heal and transform...
Your entelechy... Your inner, unexpressed potential beckons to come forth into expression. It speaks to you in the yearnings of your heart.
So how DO you fulfill this potential?
Just like the acorn only needs nurturing in order for the oak to emerge, your entelechy, your destiny is not something you need to work hard towards. You nurture it.
Life in the times of this pandemic is churning all of our fears and scary beliefs.
What's coming up for you? Is it anxiety over getting sick? Is it the financial uncertainty? Is it the concerns about what is being done/not being done?
The truth is that we are in a MASSIVE transition point both at the individual and collective level. This IS ABSOLUTELY an opportunity to transform ourselves... BUT in order to achieve that, we must confront the junk that's still lurking in the backs of our minds…
There was a moment in my life that changed me forever. I was going through a really difficult situation that I felt was out of my control. In the midst of feeling a mix of despair, anger and anxiety, I stopped and asked myself a question that shifted my perspective (and my reality) in an instant.
These are hard times we're going through. There is little we can control and it's easy to feel angry at what is being done or not done. It's reasonable to be extremely anxious about all of the ways in which things can get really bad. And it's easy to feel despair at our inability to change the trajectory of things.
I want to share this question with you, so you can explore the possibility that asking this question for yourself might help you as it always helps me.
Anxiety? Incessant thoughts about what's going on? Hard to disconnect from the news? Physical pain?
Today I share two meditations that can help. I facilitated them last night for my "open house" group and folks really loved them.
Meditation #1 starts at minute 2:18 (it's about 9 minutes in length)
Meditation #2 starts at minute 11:50 (it's about 18 minutes in length)
