Hello beautiful souls,
This is JB bringing you some soul food,
Some food for thought.
As we go through our day,
Things come up to distract us,
Things come up that hurt us,
Things come up that challenge us,
Things just come up.
It's called life my dear friend.
These things move us from our natural state of grace,
Into a place of suffering,
Confusion,
Shame and pain.
How does it manifest itself?
This is how.
We suffer by not loving ourselves.
We suffer by blaming everyone but us.
We suffer for how we feel.
We suffer by not feeling good enough.
Can we just make the compassionate choice?
Can we make the loving choice?
Can we make our lives better?
I hear you say,
If I only knew what to do with all this hurt,
Well my beautiful soul,
I can help you to understand.
If you're feeling down,
Depressed,
If you're going through grief,
If you're not sure where to turn,
If you're just hanging on with your last breath.
Stop.
Take a pause right now and let's work through it together.
Start by doing this.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe out and let go of the blame and negativity.
Breathe in.
Breathe out and let go of the hurt.
Breathe in.
Breathe out and let go of the constant self-doubt.
Breathe in.
Breathe out and let go of negative beliefs.
Just take a breath in.
Breathe out and let it all go.
How can we go on like this with all the weight we are carrying?
Well,
My beautiful soul,
We just can't.
This weight will only get heavier until we let it go.
Breathe in.
Breathe out and let it go.
Breathe in.
Breathe out and let it go.
Breathe in.
Breathe out and let it go.
Breathe in.
Breathe out and let it go.
Now we are letting go.
Let's replace it with something else.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Compassion for ourselves and for our fellow man.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Health in our body and healing for the planet.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Hope for a brighter day and a new beginning.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Love and laughter for ourselves and for our friends.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
A feeling of knowing we are unstoppable.
Take some time to listen to the water running.
What will you let go of?
What will you breathe in?
Go to a place in the middle of a still lake.
The water is like glass.
Then you see some ripples.
Up ahead there is a waterfall,
A very small one.
Water gently trickling down the bank.
As the water moves like a breath.
Constantly going.
Constantly flowing.
Always moving.
Never stopping.
Know what your true intrinsic self wants.
Breathe slowly and let the answer come to you.
Your answer will be unique to you.
It may be being able to get through another day.
It may be seeing the eyes of your partner light up when they see you.
It may be hearing your children giggle with joy.
It may be just feeling like you are enough.
Whatever you want,
Let go of something.
Make space.
And gently invite it in.
Like the water flowing.
So it can manifest itself in your life.
Always remember.
One practice at a time.
One day at a time.
One moment at a time.
Listening to this every day when you rise or before you go to sleep will help to change your state.
It will help you to welcome in what you want and what you need in your life.
One day at a time.
Be strong my beautiful soul.
Shine your light so bright.
And never forget.
How truly amazing you really are.
Namaste.
Namaste.
