Welcome to New Beginnings.
Something to consider.
Sit in a position that is most comfortable for you.
Whatever position you choose is fine.
Extend your spine.
Roll your shoulders back.
Feet on the ground.
Allow yourself to feel the ground.
Turn your attention inward.
Relax into your body and take a breath.
Relax into your heart and mind.
As you breathe in,
Allow the feeling of energy from the earth enter into your body through your feet.
If you'd like,
Close your eyes.
Notice how you feel.
What is present on your mind?
Take another breath and allow your breathing to settle those thoughts.
Take another breath.
This time through your heart.
Feel this breath reach your heart.
What is in your heart?
Notice the ebb and flow of your breath.
Feel gratitude through your breathing and find stillness.
As Eckhart Tolle says,
Make stillness your friend.
Life is an unfoldment.
An unfoldment full of blows.
Sometimes we may even have some of these aha moments.
Maybe in that one moment it begins to make a bit of sense.
We realize that perhaps we do understand.
It is another growth spurt.
Of course,
It doesn't make it any less painful.
The struggles remain,
But it awakens us.
Life seems to have to force us,
Pull us,
Nudge us,
Sometimes even push us gently to our life's unfoldment.
To maturity,
Perhaps.
It demands that we be present for our life's newest awakening.
Everything that happens to us,
These blows are here for us to grow.
We are like flowers that bloom.
We are gardeners in our own flower garden.
We must nurture our own growth.
It can lead us,
Could it be said,
To wisdom.
These blows awaken us to a new consciousness.
Allow,
Surrender,
Go within.
Our answers are there in the stillness.
It is during these times that life is more challenging.
Don't let these battles of ours,
These blows be for naught.
These are hard-earned lessons.
Jane Goodall,
English primatologist and anthropologist,
Says,
What we do makes a difference,
And you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
That difference that we are called to begins to take shape when those blows land.
The evolution begins.
How we change,
How we grow,
How we speak,
Realizing that our words matter.
What we do matters.
Kindness matters.
Please God,
Please universe,
Higher self,
Whatever you like to call it,
Give us the power to face whatever this day brings,
And then transform it into good.
Be a powerful change in the universe.
Thank you for joining me,
My kindred spirits.
Take great care.
Bye.
