Here we are. Just as we are. We have stories. We have thoughts. We have pasts and futures. But here we are. Right now. Just as we are.
What an amazing thing to be just right where you are! You are breathing and you are alive! I want you to just sit where you are and look outside and really appreciate the world around you. Everything is so amazingly connected. The way the flowers bloom in the spring just as we start to change our perspective on things. We are reborn in the sunshine, and we can walk through the grass. The seasons help us flow and heal. Remember that we are on one big cycle with ebbs and flows and through it all... WE ARE HERE.
From the day you were born, time has turned millions of times over and hopefully has millions of rotations left to go. The seasons changed, the earth revolved and right in the middle of the past cycles and the future rotations, you are right where you are, perfectly as you should be! It is important to remember that with all the cycles we have been through we are currently on the new one, as a different version of ourselves. I believe that we are reborn every year and even more incredibly, EVERY MOMENT. We can celebrate this. We have turned and we have changed so many times and we are still here.
THE PAST
Sometimes it is easy to slip away into how we were in the past. We have stories that we like to attach ourselves to. We have been hurt and have gone through pain in the past and we like to hold onto these moments as if they are still who we are. The are not who we are but they are a part of us. We cannot let go of the past, but we can heal from it. The best way to heal from the past is to appreciate the NOW.
THE FUTURE
For the moments where we are stressed about our futures we must appreciate where we are RIGHT NOW. We are prone to worry and we live in a world where there are so many opinions about how we should live our lives. We can live for ourselves. We all have our truths and we all have a path that has been designed for us. It is possible to fall off the path, but if you are true to your heart and really listen to your soul you will be happy. You'll know what feels right, and you'll know where to go.
We are worried about not having a purpose in life. We are worried that we are not doing things the right way. If you are feeling this way I want you to take a HUGE breath and hold your hands out in front of you.
MEDITATION: THE NOW
Look at these hands. They hold everything you need. They hold your spirit and they hold your heart. Heck, you HAVE hands! They help us achieve what we want and need EVERYDAY. Now, hold these hands out in front of you. Close your eyes. Imagine holding your heart in your left hand and your spirit in the right hand. Now, in the middle of your heart and your spirit is your SOUL. Slowing and carefully while breathing deep, move your hands closer to one another. Imagine meshing your heart and spirit together with the soul in the middle like a sandwich. Once your hands have met, take this energy and reach up to your head and imagine pouring your heart/spirit/soul sandwich down your body from the top of your head. It turns into cool, refreshing water and cleanses your whole body. Now, open your eyes. You are here, right now, just as you should be. Celebrate this moment. You are YOU. The only YOU. You are so special and unique. You are doing exactly what you should be doing and you are living your life according to your true essence.
Live, love, breathe.
