Hi,
In this moment,
Let's create a safe and healing space and remind ourselves that whatever
we're going through,
Good or bad,
That this too shall pass.
We all know life can be very challenging,
And most troubling experiences can make us
feel overwhelmed,
Lonely,
Make us want to scream,
Or wonder when or how the pain will
ease.
It's in these dark times that we need a gentle reminder that yes,
Our feelings are valid,
But the sun will still rise in the morning,
There will still be breath in our lungs,
And
the goodness of love will persist in the world.
The journey of life continues,
And the value is found in how we embrace every single moment.
Inside the darkness of every challenge is the spark of growth and the light of change.
In this moment,
Let's put our fears aside and move forward together,
One step at a time,
One decision at a time,
And one breath at a time.
Navigating through difficulties requires acknowledgement that pain,
Suffering,
And challenges are inherent
in this human experience.
Regardless of our differences,
Whom we love,
What we believe,
Or how we look,
Everyone
will hit road bumps along the way,
There are no exceptions.
Though the experience may feel isolating and personal,
It can be helpful to realize that
throughout the vast timeline of human experience and existence,
And the billions of individuals
who have walked this earth,
Someone else has faced similar struggles and they have overcome
and they have thrived.
It may sound crazy,
But one thing I do when I'm going through hard times myself is I will
walk through a cemetery and ask for advice.
And whether it's my own subconscious that speaks to me,
Or it's the collective kindness
of those that have passed,
The advice is always positive and affirming.
I'm always told to move forward.
I'm always told to embrace the day.
I'm always told to stop worrying so much and to enjoy this life while I have it.
I hear the words learn and grow and evolve.
Become the best version of yourself that you can and do whatever you can to truly embrace
this human experience.
Smell the flowers,
Laugh with friends,
Appreciate the blue skies,
Hug your dog,
Be kind to others,
Forgive yourself,
Forgive others,
Let go of anger and fear,
And be part of the solution
where love exists for all here on earth.
So with that all said,
Let's ease our mind and our heart by repeating the mantra,
This too shall pass.
Let us consciously shift our mindset into one of letting go,
Gratitude,
Acceptance,
And growth.
With courage in our hearts,
Let's take a deep breath and acknowledge that this too
shall pass.
This too shall pass.
This too shall pass becomes our homecoming so that every one of us can face adversity
with grace and resilience.
Focusing on the rhythm of your beating heart,
Let's acknowledge to ourselves that this too
shall pass.
This too shall pass.
Let us focus our vision on living a good life today,
Tomorrow,
And forever.
Let's set our sights on the good that exists in this beautiful world and remind ourselves
that this too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
Let us embrace the present without regret or fear and tell ourselves that this too shall
pass.
Let us honor the shifting impermanence of both struggle and joy and say to ourselves
that this too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
And so by moving on,
I honor myself without condemnation and without judgment.
This too shall pass.
I give myself permission to make mistakes and to let go of the false ideal of perfection.
This too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
Let's visualize ourselves in a better today,
A better tomorrow,
Knowing that whatever we're
experiencing,
This too shall pass.
Let us turn away from the fear of change,
The fear of healing,
The fear of worthiness,
And let us shout to the world,
This too shall pass.
Let us honor our strength,
Our character,
Our courage,
And our dedication to navigating
through adversity and change.
Within the light of our soul,
We know inherently that this too shall pass.
In releasing doubt,
I affirm to myself that challenges are only temporary.
With every breath and every heartbeat,
I hold on to the truth that this moment is part of
a broader journey.
I embrace the transient flow of each moment as unique and imperfect,
And in turn,
I accept
that this too shall pass.
One day as I searched for guidance in the green of an old mossy cemetery,
In my head
I heard the voice of an old wise man say,
This too shall pass.
He said,
You shall see goodness again.
You shall feel the depths of love and the heartiness of laughter.
There will be a day again when you feel the warm sun on your face.
Your heart will be open and you will look around your world and you will smile.
The colors of earth may look different,
But your mind will be wiser and your vision will
be clear.
And as his voice faded,
I heard him repeat the words,
This too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
This too shall pass.
My child,
This too shall pass.
May this mantra be a grateful recognition of our experiences here on earth.
And more importantly,
Let it be an acknowledgement of tomorrow and your truth and your beauty
and that you're loved and that through the passage of time,
That this too shall pass.
Until next time.
