Audubillahi minash shaitanir regime,
Bismillah rahman rahim,
In the name of the One Most Compassionate,
Most Merciful,
Most Kind.
This is Mark Silver with Heart of Business.
Welcome to the Monday Remembrance.
There are many,
Many times that we pour our hearts into something,
And we want,
So want,
Things to turn out a certain way,
Whether it's for us or maybe it's for a client.
And yet,
We have to let go.
We have to surrender.
We have to let happen what happens.
Even when it's really painful.
So I want to encourage everyone to just take a nice gentle breath and just notice how you're feeling.
Notice your physical body.
Notice your physical body.
Just noticing.
Just noticing.
Ah.
And then just bringing your attention to your heart high up in your chest,
Beginning to remember the presence of the Divine.
Just calling the name of the Divine through the open doorway of your heart.
Letting your head bow,
Letting your heart bow,
Remembering the presence of the love of the Oneness.
And then asking,
Remembering,
Thinking,
Situation in your business where you have,
You've poured your heart into it.
And you're so aching for it to turn out a certain way and the outcome is unknown as yet.
It's still unfolding.
Maybe there's a client.
You're unsure what they're going to do or what's going to happen.
Maybe it's for your own business.
What's going to unfold?
And you've done all that you can,
All that you know to do,
And you've poured your heart and you've put prayer and intention and hopes.
And you just don't know which way it's going to go.
And so in this remembrance,
Remembering your heart and remembering all that you've poured into this,
Just notice the attachment to outcome that you're having here.
Notice how much you're really wanting it to turn out a certain way and how that feels.
And also notice your fears.
Your fears.
If it doesn't,
If it goes badly,
You have fears about what might happen for you,
For other people.
And just in this moment,
Just noticing how much space there is to feel that,
To feel the pull towards what it is that you're really,
Really wanting.
And the fear,
The weight of what you're hoping won't happen.
And just feeling the weight of that,
And the pull and the turning in your heart and in your belly,
Wherever you're feeling it in your body.
And then just continuing to call to the Divine.
Is love available even here?
Is the Divine present even here?
Hola.
So much at stake,
It seems.
So much that's painful in your own heart around it.
So much that you're unclear on what could happen.
So much that you're worried could happen or could not happen.
Just feeling that weight on your heart,
On your shoulders,
On your belly,
Wherever you're feeling it.
And just turning towards the Divine.
Turning away from the situation,
Away from others who are involved.
Turning towards the Divine and just taking all of that.
And just placing it in the hands of the Divine.
Letting yourself bow,
Letting your head bow,
Letting your heart bow.
Finding a place of surrender.
Hmm.
Hmm.
What's it like to just let go of the outcome?
Just notice that your heart,
You've poured everything into it that you could,
That you knew how to.
And just putting it all in the hands of the Divine.
Sometimes there can be this sense that it's really up to us that the Divine is taking care of all these things,
But this is sitting on our shoulders for some reason.
It's exempt from the universal caring of the Divine.
Or maybe it's hard to sort out how much your individual effort makes a difference versus what just unfolds organically from Source,
From Love.
And remembering that the Divine is not a separate person,
But is this Source of all,
The universal Oneness that everything comes from,
Everything returns to,
Everything is a part of,
And that you are not separate from in any way.
And that this universal Oneness,
This Source,
Is already completely aware of you in your totality.
What you're capable of,
Your knowledge,
Your state and your station.
And this was known before you embarked on any effort in this situation,
And is known throughout.
And is in fact just part of the whole picture.
So just continuing to call the name of the Divine,
And knowing that the actions that you've taken and poured into it are important steps of engagement with the world,
And they are also prayers,
Intentions.
Intentions are not just silent,
Internal thoughts.
Prayers are not just incantations,
If you will.
Every action we take is a prayer that it be part of something larger,
That it play a part in building the temple of our lives,
And of the lives that we are all sharing in each other's reality,
In a shared reality of the Oneness.
So trusting that the efforts that you've made are sufficient,
Both in physical and in emotional,
And in the spiritual realms.
And just seeing if you can find a place of resting,
Asking to be shown if what you've done is sufficient,
And if there is a place of rest available to you.
And long.
And just noticing how that feels to hand it over.
And then just noticing any authentic gratitude or appreciation for anything you may have experienced,
Letting yourself express it to the Divine.
And if you have time now to stay in remembrance,
You're welcome to stay as long as you wish.
And if now is the time for turning your attention back to your life,
Remember that the remembrance is available in every moment,
In every breath.
And just allowing yourself,
If it is time to return,
Knowing that everything is already in the hands of the Divine.
Peace.
