45 - Easy And Happy

This week our practice is Being rather than doing. So often we are afraid to connect to life and ourselves because we don't know what to do once we do connect. How do we act with others? What do we say? How do we deal with our own stories? With our guilt, fear, shame, anger, hurt, etc? So we dissociate from life, from others, and from ourselves. However, when we walk on the beach, we just are..and there is nothing to figure out. We can connect without having to know or having a skill set.

This sound like the practice of aimlessness. Having no agenda. Walk to walk. When eating, just eat. No expected outcome. Take in the moment. 😊

Loved this. Will bookmark to replay. So so useful. Thank you 🙏

Seeing the light in other beings. I'm over the doing, the training, the check boxes...also the most connected and confident I've ever been.
Now I smile, make eye contact, touch, compliment, come from kindness, move with what feels good, let God use me-- I find in that peace as well as invitation for other to BE. I use to think my mind was a skill to be mastered now I see it is opening the heart and keeping it open. I have no idea what to do and for the first time that feels happy&exciting. Thoreau said, "all good things are wild and free."

Thank you. I love concrete suggestions and simple "how to" guidance. I like to refer to that as practical spirituality. I also appreciate that you continually say to accept what works for us and leave the rest. That creates a very safe way to "try on" things. I am also an LPC ( in NJ ) so I really appreciate the integrating of the awakening process through the lens of the therapist mind and thus finding the truly holistic approach. I know that we must do our own work in order to help others and hold space for them. Thanks again for the reminder to "just be" and not have to try and figure everything out. Namaste

Thanks William! Great description of the beach moment where your mind can spin out just because someone is walking in your direction. So true, lol. Also so helpful to be reminded that trying to figure everything out isn’t the way to do life. Connecting and being is a healthier way to go. The stories and hallucinations that we get caught up in are just that. So apropos to what I’m going through, with many decisions and actions and skills needed yet feeling lost for what to do, I appreciated this wisdom today.
