Oh how beautiful life is when you are aware. The vibrant colour of the flowers, the sound of silence, the richness of the sun and the magnificence of the clouds. There is beauty constantly surrounding us and when we live in our minds we are blinded by the thoughts that distract us. Thoughts are truly the most powerful source of distraction and that is why meditation and practices like prayer and yoga are so helpful with reconnecting with the beauty of life and being.
This Sunday I wanted to notice the beauty so I decided to grab my morning coffee and listen to Tao Te Ching as I sat in the sun watching the dogs play at a local dog park. Being reminded of our spiritual selves and of our being is such a warming reassurance to me that the fears in my mind and the thoughts that arise are nothing but a human condition, a programming of the mind based on experiences that don’t own me but somehow control me. Attempting to rewire my brain and understand that these thoughts are visitors not tenants of the mind is important.
I don’t want to live based on the conditions of the past and the energies that have been trapped in my body. I want to open my heart and let it all pour out so that I can be open to receiving high vibrations of love, joy and peace. I would like to be observant of life and live in the presence of gratitude and abundance of joy, hope and optimism.
To arrive there I need to keep learning how to let go. Keep learning to pause, to breath and to remember.
So this Sunday, I want to say grace for all the opportunities that are presented to me to, so that I could shed my ego.
For being rubbed the wrong way so that I can apply my awareness and understand myself more deeply.
For being blessed with interactions and experiences that enable me to see my tinges of darkness and glimmers of brightness.
I pray for abundance of forgiveness, patience and acceptance, so that I can uncover these veils and continue to connect with the heart that will not be afraid of being open.
I pray for joy and peace, not just for myself but for all of us, for we are all brothers and sisters and one day we will come to realise that we have wasted so much time judging each other when we could have spent it loving each other.
I pray for inner wisdom to shine over ego so that I don’t have to be blinded by temporary desires and wants, instead I can be liberated by sustainable truths and contentment.
I pray to let go of all internal dialogues and narratives that are tainted by fear. I let it go, I let it go, I let it go.
Be one with yourself, in your own presence. There is plenty to distract us and we will get distracted – that is a truth I’ve come to accept, but being able to remember and refocus your attention on love and light, will enable you to find richness no matter what is going on in the world, no matter what is going on in your mind.
Love Always,
