Well hello there beautiful soul! I know it’s been awhile since my last writing and the reason for that is reflected in the title of this post. I am and have been for some time now been living moment by moment. Breathing my way into the acceptance, allowance and faith in a higher power even more, even deeper. This has not been easy at all times.
I have witnessed the current state of this worlds hostility reflected in ways that have left my soul longing so dearly for times of the past. Times when decency was chosen simply because it was the only honorable choice. While my eyes and soul witness the choice of some to continue to operate in ways that I would never myself choose personally.
Ways that not only sustain deception and suffering but which actively seek to create it. To feed it as though the greedy maw of that beast could ever be satisfied for longer then the moment after trampling upon an innocent soul or making the best effort possible to.
All this has had a definite impact. It has led me to hide. To withdraw from the world as I have so often witnessed it and left me bereft of a humanly avenue of comfort or support. Left with such a profound sense of disconnection I have had to find solace in moment to moment living. In finding gratitude for the simple things. A moment of peace, a remembrance of excitement or joy.
I have done my best to find my healing and my solace within this momentary reprieve getting up as it were over and over and over again. Not taking on the judgements or opinions of others who choose to listen to the deceptions that are placed before them and turning my heart to Heaven for healing. Not taking the attacks personally and acknowledging the fact that the source of such action is only reflecting themselves and trying my best to be grateful for the chance to know myself even more and to realize that I can keep getting back up over… and over…… and…. over…. again.
Knowing in my heart this is not the way things are supposed to be. That we are not called to willfully attempt to cause harm to another and trying to hold faith that there are indeed consequences for this action while I know this to be true I have for so long only been witness to the rampant rapacity of the worldly influence of those who would choose such a path willfully and with intent while I wait enduring so much more then should be the case.
These times and these moments force me to meditate to seek solace. To quiet my mind of all the wounds and unhealed moments of injustice that have blessed my path. To seek comfort in the Divine. In God the true source of all comfort and of everlasting peace. I retreat into my breathing deeper each day. Placing my hand upon my heart and finding there the remembrance of the echo of love. Divine Love. Allowing my thoughts to settle into the gentle cadence of my breath and not the swirl of fear or pain all sourced within my own mind. I breath. I cry I allow myself to feel this sorrow and I breathe again. I breathe until I sense the light again. I breathe until I can feel something other then that which I could otherwise feel were I not to choose to do this.
So here is my tip for any of you that may be feeling burdened or attacked or misunderstood, judged, misrepresented or persecuted wrongfully. For any of you that may be wrapped in sorrow or pain or suffering or the memories of times past and the whispers of hope that you may have listened to for so long their sound is as ones heartbeat. Inevitable yet mostly unheard. Operating at all times yet in silence most of it. For anyone who may endure an intense emotion that has been foist upon your shoulders by the actions of another and for anyone who is grateful for the ability to learn but who is weary of the footpath. For anyone who may feel that this one more step just one more step is leading them to falter and who may fear the smell of the sweet earth as they may kiss it when they one day can no longer lift that foot for the next step. For those of you dealing with injustice or evil. Attack Deception Lies and False Judgement.. This is for you.
It is even for those who willfully choose to engage upon such a path as those actions against another who are so foolish and juvenile minded as to presume that this will get them anywhere good. Yes even for them because I know we all have a place. I suppose I just long for those types to catch up faster. To realize life isn’t a game all about the money or the illusion of possession or false fleeting prestige. But rather about the love we build. The connections we foster. The truth we live and the love we share. That life is about community and connection and how we will never get to these lofty goals if we do not choose them. That no lie is ever truly hidden. The truth will always prevail yet the cost of causing pain to others in vain attempts to conceal this can simply never end well. Never.
Here goes, so the next time you feel you are in the grips of a strong emotional reaction for whatever reason, be it a memory or an attack or a lie or a fear. Take a moment to pause. Break they cycle of swirling pain and sorrow and take a pause. Use this moment to choose to breathe. Breathe as deeply as your lungs will allow in through your nose and exhale through your pursed lips. A steady strong flow of wind and sorrow leaving you with each breath and keep going. Do not pause between breathes flow in and out deeply inhaling and exhaling with your hand placed upon your heart to help you remember the Divine love that resides there. The piece of God within each of us and allow your thoughts to simply be. Focus on the cadence of your breath and notice the sensations appearing in your body. Notice the flow of energy/prana and know that is your connection to the divine. Release the tension you are holding in your body at times such as these. The tension that stems from trying to control this feeling or the circumstances that fostered the need for this reconnection and open your heart. Do not allow it to harden. Do not become what you may at times look upon. Remain soft and pure in heart and intention. Forgiving yourself moments of reactive human nature and doing better each day. This is how we allow for the increase of the Divine within our bodies and souls. Only through the heart and always through the heart.
That’s all for now dear souls. Just in case you haven’t heard this today YOU yes you are beautiful. You are loved. You are whole. You are a perfect Divine reflection in a perfectly Divine mosaic of this life and living. You are needed. You are loved. You are forgiven.
