Let the beauty we love be what we do - Rumi
The Art of Deep Listening…
Love your Mind … how it thinks and feels.
Your true human intelligence is awareness and feelings. This is who you are and who you sense.
Your Mind is your communication tower whereby your Soul, through the awareness of your Mind, speaks to your Heart, through the feeling sensations in your body.
The more space you create within your Mind, to hear your Soul, the more you can be in touch with your Heart, and feelings, always waiting patiently for your attention.
Every person comes into this world as a pure loving Soul, a baby. Our journey is to awaken, and to remember the Soul part of our being that was forgotten, because of the life experiences that came our way. Many of us had learnt a way of living that made us ‘feel bad’ and somehow less loveable. These thoughts of badness, of ‘not being good enough’ or ‘unworthy’ caused us to feel confused and sad on the inside, thus turning into a torrent of misunderstood emotional chaos on the outside. We have all felt this vulnerability in varying degrees … it is what encourages us to deepen our humanity, that is our capacity to grow in wisdom, strength and compassion so that we can listen to each other with understanding, empathy and forgiveness.
Each one of us has the ability to learn how to ‘fall in love’ with all of this misunderstood energy, we call emotions.
To do this, is to take the journey from your head to your Heart. Self-inquire into understanding what is causing so much conflict with your good, kind loving Self, and with your relationship to feeling peaceful and anchored in your whole being no matter what comes your way.
You are here to embrace how to retrain your Mind, to unlearn old habits and outer world beliefs, and to replace them with new neural pathways so that your Mind and your nervous system hum along, attuned to listening. You are going to slowly declutter your busy thoughts and uncloak these outer world stories of injustice and feeling bad so that you can hold faith and trust in the goodness of your Heart (feelings) and Soul (awareness). Your true Self. Your true identity beneath the layers of all that you thought you were and had to be.
It is not an easy journey but it will be the most worthwhile experience of your entire life. It is your greatest investment to feeling your sense of love, belonging, expression of truth and peace of Mind. And, reinstating your full worth, your true wealth.
I have outlined below all the ways you can keep remembering who you are, and to allow change to move through you, because ultimately this is what Mind training is.
Mind Training - untangling thoughts and feelings - allowing change to move through you.
We are born pure loving Souls, without any conditioning of habits, attitudes and beliefs about who we are. We are raised and taught to be the adult we are in three ways.
Inherited DNA through our genomes (genetics and chromosomes) from our parents and ancestors. We can alter our inherited history by expanding our consciousness. Not so dissimilar to Darwins theory of evolution. We call it neurogenesis whereby we consciously alter our brains neural pathways as we experience and learn. Our children become the beneficiaries of our hard work and are enriched with healthy Mind patterns and a strong body.
Our immediate family and carers influence our thinking, behaviour and attitudes.
There is a collective energy of thought that is carried into our society and way of governing that influences how we think and feel about our Self, and others.
Exploring your family history and the history of your country
Strong emotions and confusion about how to be and how to express your Self is a calling from your wise Soul to crack open the outer shell of your being (thinking mind and physical body), untangle the knots of confused thoughts and feelings and peel back all the layers of society’s conditioning that told you who you were. So that you can finally breathe freely and get back to listening to you. Your Spirit or Soul. Your most trusted and loving Self.
You get to become an explorer and learn to inquire with curiosity as to why all those thoughts and feelings you were holding and storing up secretly in your Mind were so.
Going back through the history of your family with an open curiosity will grow a new understanding about them, their qualities and the qualities that make you, you. It will alter how you see your purpose and your place in history.
Family and world history play a significant role in freeing your Mind of stories and ideas about your Self. Although no joy to begin with, it does become an enriching experience of healing and a journey you can gradually embrace, savour and cherish as it unfolds.
Who you are
If you have never been told of your origin, then trusting the fact that you are consciousness will seem really weird.
You are consciousness. You are a spiritual being with a Soul that communicates within your mind through awareness and feelings. Your Soul and Self are one in the same. You are consciousness. You are the awareness … aware of it Self. Your Soul is the footprint of your Spirits earthly experiences.
We are all by nature spiritual beings. It cannot be otherwise. Spirituality is universal and encompasses all existence. We are part of a vast source of an intelligent life force (energy) which moves through and around us all the time. It belongs to everyone and everything. There is no separation, except what we create with our minds conditioning of habits, attitudes and beliefs.
This is why it can be so easy to get confused about our identity and our sense of belonging. We get lost and forget to trust in our Spirit or Soul, and instead identify with the fast moving, always changing and often demanding external world.
Your spiritual nature never changes. You are made of pure loving energy called consciousness, and this light is your guiding anchor to helping you navigate life. It is felt as your intuition (the space between your thoughts). The more you listen to your intuition and feelings the lighter and more conscious you become. How far you expand your consciousness is really up to you. It depends on how far you wish to take your curiosity in knowing who you are beyond this entity we call Self.
Being anchored in the spacious awareness of your Self and your Surroundings while paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, sensations and sounds allows you to hear from a much deeper and expansive perspective.
Reminding your Self who you are
The ego, or thinking part of your mind will be very resistant to change. It does not like change. It is used to you, and likes the mind made conditioned habits and ways of living that are causing you to feel sad and separated from your Heart Soul relationship. What releasing the ego part feels like …
I liken it to coming off a type of addiction because you are breaking long held mental habits that your Soul needs to release from your physical body so it can finally be heard and felt uninhibited.
When you experience a trigger, that is, a very unhappy memory that is alive in your Mind and body, it can be very hard not to react.
It will take all your determined attention to observe your mind while being present to the physical sensations.
It can feel rigid, sticky, gooey and downright horrible until it is loosened, released and dissolved from your being altogether. Comforting this distressing emotional and physical pain is the most compassionate gesture you can offer your Self. Lay down, curl up, and hold your whole Self … and breathe …. it will eventually pass. You are learning to give your Self what you most need.
The trigger may last a short time or it may linger for days until it weakens and dissolves.
Tools for being with strong emotions (click here)
It can feel very challenging once you become aware of your separated Self. But you have done it. You have caught your Self in the act of being Self-aware. You are in the motions of experiencing the resistant ego’s stories playing out in your physical body. Observe, be aware of this very unpleasant mental and physically rigidity grating against an awful stickiness of egoic habit needing to hold on tight to its identity. Use all the tools available to you until this strong wave of emotion gets weaker and eventually dissolves.
Remind your Self who you are by saying …
I am not these thoughts. I am not my physical body. They are my vehicles for doing. By observing them I release their control over my Mind and my body.
You are learning to reverse your way of thinking, doing and being with your full attention.
Focus on your breath as a tool for staying anchored.
Breathe long and deep. Imagine your Self creating space with each breath. Pay attention as you breathe. You are creating space and calm for the thoughts to slowly dissolve, filling your now spacious being with a new awareness for what your Soul most needs to feel nourished.
Qualities of the breath - calm, quiet, even, deep. Listen to the flow of the beginning and ending of each inhale and exhale.
As your breathing grows richer in quality, so too does the space within and around you.
Learn to scan your body. Pay attention to the parts of your body that struggle to receive fresh clean oxygen. Bring concentrated breathing to these specific areas until you feel the tingling sensation of blood flow awakening this once dormant, rigid, painful and gross feeling part of your body.
Time and Space
You have all the time in the world. The slower you go, the higher the quality of your creating. Although you may tell your Self otherwise, you always have time to dedicate space for your Self.
Boredom is your Soul wanting to feel lit up. Explore your unique qualities that are ready and waiting to be awakened, nurtured, practiced and put into action, for your well Being.
Let every moment be an opportunity to inhabit your body. Every time you pay attention, you create space, and the opportunity to see and feel it differently, and to invite in a new way of living. Let this in itself be a meditation.
Insights will come in the space you have opened up to, giving room for the psychological mind to understand the how and why of your thoughts and feelings. You are opening to feelings of forgiveness and to forgiving what you did not know. These are very vulnerable feeling we all share.
Creating new neural pathways and building strong memory muscles in the brain requires gentle discipline, Self-love and takes time. It is tiring work to the already fatigued brain.
Be tender with your Self. Be gentle and be kind in all that you do and say to your Self. Know you are loved and you are cherished. And you are never alone. Be proud of your efforts.
As you begin to feel connected with what lights you up, your time will start to feel precious. You will discover your preferences and you will naturally begin to set quiet boundaries as you feel your Mind strengthen in its ability to make decisions. You will know with a growing certainty what you need. It will feel right and without effort you will be guided.
Resistance gets easier to surrender to each time you open to acceptance and create space to meet your needs. It is not selfish to give your Self what you need. Quite the opposite. By giving to your Self, you naturally give to others. You will feel an increasing unknotting as you learn to accept the situation until there is no longer the ache in your Heart and belief in your Mind you are not deserving of success or happiness in doing what you enjoy, in your own unique way.
Unsticking habits to relearn new ways of being
Our state of Mind is conditioned into all of us, and this fact we accept as no-ones fault but as our challenge and responsibility to change through recognition, acceptance, understanding, forgiveness and tender loving care.
What you have experienced is a life time of unconscious habits and beliefs about your Self and the world around you … that are ‘at odds’ with your natural way of being. They have been created by the external world, shifting and changing all the time, making it hard to keep up if you are not anchored in your Soul Self.
The world is your play ground for learning, listening and understanding as you begin to recognise mental and outer world patterns for ‘seeing it the right way up’ (turning your focus toward your inner world stillness for making decisions and not the outer worlds shifting projections).
Gaining a new perspective takes time and practice until it feels natural. You are not the thoughts or outward projections of anyone or anything. Stories are just that. You are much more than made up ideas and distorted perceptions. Pay attention to recurring thoughts and belief hooks of feeling bad (guilt, shame, embarrassed, stupid, blamed etc).
You are here now, learning to master how you feel and think about your Mind and your happiness. Enjoy the awakened learning. Feel proud of your Self as you sense, see and feel your growth. Tell your Self ‘good job’ or ‘well done’ when you do well. I certainly do.
Trust
We spend our life sensing our Soul, this deeper intuitive aspect of our being, but it is rarely if ever outwardly acknowledged or properly tended to, until now. You are reversing your Minds patterns by letting go of what the world is telling you, and now trusting your Soul Self, your intuition, your insights and your feelings, in the present moment. The past and future is always alive in the present moment to sit with, to meet and to accept.
Strength and courage is your power
You already have great strength because you have carried a very heavy weight for a very long time.
What you are doing is healing work. You are releasing fear and repairing emotional distress from childhood, carried over through your family history and our collective history. It takes enormous strength to do this work.
You know who you are. Look in the mirror and remind your Self every day as you smile and say out aloud … ‘My purpose in life is to demonstrate the joy and the power of an open Heart ’…. ‘I am made of love and my Heart is good and kind’.
Find quotes, affirmations and empowering words which give you inspiration and the strength to know you are much more than the make believe stories, resentments and judgements of other people’s unconscious behaviour.
From Loneliness to Aloneness (al- one)
Let the loneliness be your friend. It may feel hard, even awful and despairing at first but, it does pass as you continue to create space and fill your being in a Self-fulfilling and meaningful way. As long as you are listening to your Hearts truth and goodness, you will always attract the very best for your Self.
It takes just one friendly face and a caring smile to remind you who you are, and to shine your light. That one smile will gradually grow to many as you learn to trust your feelings and discover your sense of belonging because you are connecting with an open Mind and Heart made of goodness.
We attract what our mind creates. It is better to be in the temporary feelings of loneliness, and to grow a friendship with your Self than to be in a crowd of many and still feel lonely and disconnected.
Good Company
Be in the company of kind and understanding people. They will come.
To have good friends you have to learn to be a good friend to your Self first. And to do this you must learn to be pristine inside. Free of all the crummy thoughts which said you were undeserving, not good enough, not worthy and that you were somehow bad. This is all not true. It is made up and these stories weaken and eventually disappear every time you step into your vulnerability and challenge the sincerity of your truth.
You do not need to share your transformation with anyone. It is sacred and precious. This is a private time in your life dedicated to you. A time you will always look back on no matter how tough it was and cherish. And one day share, if and when the time is right with those who are ready to listen.
Good company recognises good company. It takes just one good friend to be the strength you need. In time you too can offer that same strength to another. This is kindness - offering your strength when someone else does not yet have theirs.
As you begin to change, and feel empowered, so too do the people you hang out with. It’s a natural part of getting back to your good Self.
Listen to and feel your Self being guided and you will find the confidants with whom you can share your deepest Heart felt feelings.
This is what we all cherish and miss if it is not present in our life.
Pay attention to who listens, encourages and sees your qualities and good nature. This is important. You are learning to honour your Self.
Appreciate the joy of missing out. You no longer need to be invited. Or to reach outwards to be seen, heard and included. You have a new joy in being Self-contained, meeting your needs and doing exactly what fills your Soul.
Appreciate the joy of every kind act. Appreciate every moment as it unfolds, however it comes, as your opportunity to shift your perspective and to see life the right way up.
You are always given exactly what you need in every moment, even if it does not seem so.
See the gift.
It is important to say how you feel, and to get unhappy circumstances off your chest, so that there is space for problem solving. There is always a solution to any given situation. Having a confidant to help you navigate the tough times allows you to keep seeing the gift.
It is a wonderful feeling to look back and to feel good about how you responded to your challenges. And how you turned them into opportunities for your Self and others.
Kindness - offering someone your strength. Learn to accept help and be open to offering help. Although this is very obvious it is surprising at just how adverse we are to this notion of help.
Don’t get upset - reactive
Golden Rule.
If you do, apologise. Take responsibility for your feelings. How another speaks and behaves is for them to face as their challenge in life, and has nothing to do with you. It is not personal.
Responding rather than reacting is not easy to begin with. Learning to pause, breathe and listen with your full awareness takes time. You have spent a great deal of time defending and protecting thoughts, feelings and beliefs. We only know what we know until such time as we awaken to living consciously, learning to let go of control and to be aware of experiencing life flowing through us.
Eventually, you will feel an underlying calm in being in any given situation with curiosity. And you will see the other on a deeper compassionate level. You will see past any misguided words or actions and value the person for who they are, just as they are. Growing empathy towards difficult emotions and behaviours takes time and practice. It is well worth the dedication because your change can bring enormous benefits to the well being of those around you.
Let them have their Right
Golden Rule.
I once heard Deepak Chopra say ‘Let them have their right’. He was right. It doesn’t matter. It is their thoughts, feelings and beliefs. Opinions. Listen with curiosity. Recognise patterns of behaviour and thinking as a part of life’s intricate web of learning. See your Self in everyone, because beneath the exterior we know we all feel in the same way. We all belong to each other.
You always have a choice as to how you want to respond. You can either, say nothing and walk away, listen with your full attention and if the opportunity arises allow your responses to come naturally, or, accept what you cannot change and be with the situation until such time as it does change.
Take nothing Personally
Recognise unconscious behaviour as that. We only know what we know until such time as we awaken to a new state of listening and understanding - of Being, Knowing and Doing.
Be Gracious.
Always.
Whatever is said or done to you which does not feel right (sincere), recognise as unconscious behaviour. Without judgement. No-one and no thing has power over you. Just as you have no power over no-one or no thing.
Breathe and feel your inner power to stay anchored in your being. You always have a choice as to how you wish to respond. You may either communicate your feelings, accept what is until change naturally comes, or, say nothing and walk away (stay on your path).
Healing is Tiring Work. Feed your Soul.
Releasing heavy emotions is very tiring work. They have been held deep within your body and Mind for a great deal of time.
Healing requires plenty of sleep, rest and sitting in nature.
As you regain your strength so too does your natural desire to care for your Self. Put your energy into the sacred healing space where you sleep and rest. Ensure your bed is clean with fresh sheets, regularly changed, a good pillow and nice coverings. Keep your space dust free with windows open. Let the light shine in. Bring greenery into your space.
Eat well. Eat clean foods that are fresh and not processed. Exercise. Find that activity that awakens and moves the heavy energies from your body, expands your lungs and stimulates blood flow. Read or listen to audio books to ignite your mind and grow your knowledge as you explore who you are, and your place in this world.
Feed your Soul with all that lights you up and knows what it needs to feel nourished, strengthened and inspired so you can walk your path with grace.
Practice with Patience
Step into you vulnerability and fearlessly put into practice your daily unsticking. Do this by watching, listening, smiling… over and over … until you find your voice to ease through your days with certainly.
The world is your playground. It was designed for you to inhabit and to connect with. Take your time. Be measured. Test out your new skills, knowledge and wisdom daily. Feel good about your uniqueness as you discover and implement your reason for being here.
Practice expressing your truth in a way that is beneficial for all. If it is good for you then it is good for everyone. Recognise you are doing your best for now. Growing takes time.
You will make mistakes and sometimes fall over. This is normal and a part of growing and learning new skills. As the days unfold you will notice the small changes turn into a complete transformation where you will trust and be certain in your truth, and abilities.
We are like a jigsaw puzzle, slowly gathering the pieces of our learning so that we can fully serve our purpose and enjoy a life which gives us meaning.
Forgive. Forgiving. Forgiveness
With time, discipline and repetition in learning about your creation, you start to feel your oneness. You realise suffering is not personal and we all experience sadness, pain, loss and loneliness in one form or another and with varying degrees of intensity
Saying the following words trains your mind to release and heal feelings about your Self and others.
‘I forgive all those who have hurt me in this life, and in any life, in any way at all.’
‘I ask forgiveness of all I have hurt in this life, in any life, in any way at all.’
‘I forgive myself for the part I played in my transgression in this life, in any life, in any way at all.’ Blair Styra
When you are strong and clear in your mind, it is worthwhile dedicating the time and space to thanking your ‘great teachers’ who have pushed, poked, and challenged your expansion to seeing your good, kind Self with loving eyes and a compassionate Heart.
It does not feel so great at the time and for many it can seem like the unforgivable is just too hard to forgive. I call them ‘great teachers’ because they help to extend our Mind far beyond what we could have ever imagined. To touch not just our Heart, but that of all humanity. And that is indeed, the wealth of their precious gift.
Your Natural State
Peace. Joy. Enthusiasm
These three innate qualities will hum away in the background whether you are resting or doing.
Not everything will feel joyful, especially when challenges come along. You do not however lose any of your natural state while you are being purposeful.
‘Intuition is infinite intelligence talking to us between our thoughts’. Phil Laut
The Psychological
Focus on what is right about you.
Be light and positive in your freedom of expression by reminding your Self you are made of love and this is who you always want to be. Be measured in what you say and do, and to whom. The ripple effect of your words and actions carries into all areas of life all of the time.
Contemplation, insights and putting into action what feels right will naturally sort out and rearrange all the untruths and stories that have hidden you from your true Self.
It takes time to remove the weight of society’s heavy cloak with all its identities, diagnoses, problems and stereotyping. It can make it really hard to see your Self.
Focusing on what is wrong will keep you stuck in the past and reaching for the future. Always see your Self from the inside out. The right way up.
Ask your Self. ‘What is the dominant thought or hook which keeps coming up as a stuck belief’? Recognise it, and pay attention to how you feel. Is it true? Decide how you want to feel and be that feeling.
Explore your natural talents
Everyone is creative and expresses their creativity in their own unique way.
Your natural gifts and talents will come easily and give you immense fulfilment. Those which are not your natural talents can cause a lot of unhappiness, both to your Self and to others.
Be patient as you grow your natural talents. The flow on effect is a natural desire to encourage and wish others to be fulfilled in what they love and are naturally good at.
Abundance. Grace.
You already have it all. Wealth is continually growing what you value within.
Believing in the worth of your Self is seeing and appreciating you have a cup full to the brim.
Focus on, and work with what you do have and not what you do not have. Projecting and reaching outwards will keep you feeling poor. It’s all about the mental hooks and beliefs held in your mind, which you are here to unknot, explore and figure out. Ask your Self, how can my inner wealth reflect my outer world living?
Trusting in your Self is your treasure chest. By being still, you can absorb and appreciate absolutely every bit of abundance in your life, right down to having clean water, fresh air and a warm home. Not everyone has these basic needs.
Feeling the generosity of every moment lets you feel the full richness of your life.
You are always given exactly what you need in any given moment to grow your wealth.
Flowing with Life
You do not have a life. You are life. It moves through and around you all the time while you are experiencing with the expansiveness of your conscious Mind. Without effort or control, and as long as you are speaking from your sincere Heart, the natural exchange of giving and receiving will guide you through life. Always!
Giving and Receiving
Giving and receiving acts of love has no weight.
Express your acts of love. Write letters. Give cards, surprise notes, create delicious food, whatever … When you are filled with appreciation and gratitude, show it in all the creative ways that fill you up. Be vulnerable. Express your caring nature. Do caring acts. As you fill your well, you create a natural yearning to fill the well of others by recognising their needs and desires so they too can enjoy Self-fulfilment. It becomes a complimentary exchange of nourishment and love.
The value of any gifts of love can be felt immediately, or can be felt over time, depending on how the gift is given and how it is received. It can sometimes take time to recognise and appreciate the gift.
Lessons take time to learn. The fruits of the gift is empowerment.
Celebrate your birthday🎂
This is your auspicious day! The day you arrived into the world to do what your Soul came to do. Celebrating your birthday is a wonderful way to honour your Self by remembering your unique and innate qualities. Feel deserving. Decide how you want to honour your Self and do it.
Honouring your Self
Pay attention to how you are spoken to and how you speak to others.
Is this something you really want to do or are you being agreeable? Do it because you want to, not because you have to. This is important so that you don’t create feelings of resentment before, during or after the doing. Politely say No until you are ready to say yes.
Are the people in your life resonating with your Hearts truth? Do they encourage and support you?
Be bold and gentle as you let go of people and welcome in new friendships. You are realigning your values with your integrity and sense of Self worth.
Feeling Equal
Honouring your Self is feeling neither diminished nor is it augmenting your Self.
Feeling equal is a very challenging lesson because every aspect of our life uses a language which says we are otherwise. There are deeply embedded historical mindsets which continually challenge our sense of honesty, therefore our innate belief in equality.
Let your Self be alive to inequality as is comes. Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings. Do not react. Stay in your power (fully conscious and aware, allowing strong feelings to flow through you).
Fully aware, decide how you want to respond. Either, say nothing and walk away, speak your truth if the opportunity arises, or, accept the situation if it cannot be changed until such time as it does. Learn from your mistakes and keep practicing. It takes time to master your sense of equality.
Fear. Desire.
Fear is an innate mechanism within our being to protect us. To keep us safe from harm.
By stilling the mind, your brain is creating healthy neural pathways so that you can listen and respond to fear only when there is the real threat of danger to your or another’s wellbeing.
Outside of this, there is nothing to defend or protect.
Desire is wanting more, needing more and not being satisfied. It is natural and healthy to have nice things and to live well.
It is also very easy to feel an unhealthy attachment or neediness to people and things and it can distort the Mind as to what is of real value and worth. How we love can be fragmented by our ideas about sex, ownership, the roles we play and ultimately our sense of worth. At the root of all our neediness and attachments is fear.
Love has no weight when our emotions are no longer blocking the way of our listening Heart.
It becomes an exchange of giving and receiving by wanting no thing in return. By practicing to surrender over and over, you free your Self from needing to control. This is a very hard and important lesson to learn. It takes great strength and wisdom to practice the true meaning of wealth and value.
Doing the Dreary Stuff
Given we only ever have this moment, then each and every thing we do, we do with our full attention. We give it our best effort regardless of the task.
It is actually a part of our unsticking because until we grow the skills and knowledge to serve our purpose fully, we are going to have to accept where we are in this moment.
There is always someone who will be grateful for our best effort. And we can appreciate the effort it takes for another to do the same task.
Be Inspired
We like to think we are living in a contemporary world, but more often than not, we are awakened to beliefs, behaviours and attitudes of a past long gone.
Be inspired by the change makers in history. Use your newfound strength and courage to challenge the current ways of teaching and learning - of Being, Knowing and Doing. It is important. Our ripple effect matters. It influences how others enjoy living a deserving and peaceful life.
An Advocate for Change in every moment
We are all held together by the same thread, moving through life in different ways, at varying speeds continuously, meeting for brief moments as we walk our path. We can choose how we want to experience these moments and the wealth they add to our life.
However your heart calls you, do it with honesty, strength of an aware mind, gentleness, courage, and an open and compassionate Heart. You have taken the journey to understanding your family history, and your relationship with the world you live in. In your quest for Self-inquiry, to know who you are, you have discovered, you are always loved. You are never alone. And you will always be fine.
Trust you are always guided in what to say, where to go, and what to do, by the infinite intelligence which works through you. And spoken to you through your intuition.
This is the natural law of the universe guiding you with love and support.
Meditation
Meditation is a very natural progression along your spiritual well being path as your desire to sit quietly, and to create space grows to feel your loving Self grows.
There are different ways you can practice expanding your state of consciousness.
I personally love to sit in the early morning for an hour or so on my cushion facing an open window. I get to bathe in a deep state of love, to be with my Self united with all consciousness. I get to enjoy the feeling of wholeness and to be touched by humanity over and over.
Meditation can begin simply by spending time quietly in the garden, observing your Self. Draw your focus where it fills you with beauty and appreciation.
