What connects you?

Taking time and space to focus on your connection with Spirit and self does NOT have to look like the Buddha meditating (although bless you if it does). For me it’s pretty rare that it does.

When we really examine what it actually takes to move the ego-mind-taskmaster-oppressor boulder out of the way, step out of the cozy but dark and eventually stifling little cave it likes to keep us in, and soak in the sun of Spirit energy, it’s astoundingly simple. And it truly does boil down at its essence to stillness and inner reflection, although how each of us arrives there is as individual as we are.

Some of us (*raises hand quietly*) need our bodies to lead us there because our minds think it’s cool to NEVER. STOP. Like … ever. And some of us (*keeps hand raised*) have to learn to follow our bodies there willingly, rather than through inner brute force and utter inescapable physical/mental chaos. Sometimes all we need is to be left alone for a while … even and especially if the ego mind is screaming in protest and abandonment wounds that it will endure anything but that! Sometimes it takes a little dose of human connection that we’ve been denying ourselves like a mood-altering substance we’re trying to stay away from (because for some of us it can be).

Allow yourself MORE OFTEN AND CONSISTENTLY whatever you need in order to connect to Spirit and yourself. It will fill and nourish your heart and body and cleanse your mind and energy. Then and only then can you serve others and the world from your fullness, like an inexhaustible fountain and the beautiful, brilliant, inimitable divine vessel you are.
