It finally started to get to me. The constant grating of death, systems and mechanisms around me coming undone, the sheer destruction of it all. I crafted this meditation last week and decided to share it as a gift to help people tap into their knowing, as a source of ease and renewal for your lovely life.
Attuning to the messages of the seasons, in the northern hemisphere we began our descent into a darkness and are just emerging from Winter Solstice. Many traditions embrace the light during this time but what of the Dark? Darkness is Holy also. Learn how Darkness supports our wholeness, and ultimately, our shining our light. I read from: Wendell Berry's "To Know the Darkness"; David Whyte's "Sweet Darkness," and Mark Nepo's "Things Light and Dark". Surrendering to it all means embracing the darkness that awaits us with open arms.
This week we delve into the very human heart-centered experience of grieving. In a movement I was doing during an InterPlay workshop, my body floated up a memory from my past, a tender moment full of grief. What mysteries and promises might grieving hold for us on our path and why does that matter to you? Learn what I glimpsed. This week I read Cutting Loose by William Stafford and There Were no Signs by Irving Layton. Check out the bonus clip to pick up a tool to hear your own body's wisdom.
Each one of us is emitting an energetic presence, which means there is something in us that is Alive. Today I activate your connection with your presence by reading "What was Told That" by Rumi and "To Unravel" by Ana De Jong. Come get your hum on and come listen to why this connection can help us through it all.
One of the bigger games we play in our life is the game of safety: are we safe or not. What if we could make the game about listening to a different frequency? This week I invite you to take the plunge of diving into deeper waters, listening for your joy frequency and giving yourself permission to see where that takes you. Listen for the difference between playing for joy versus 'having a positive mind-set.' This week I read from Mark Nepo's "In your Veins" from his Book of Awakening and to Marie Rainer Wilke's "Go to the Limit of your Longing."
Its one thing to learn the skills of navigating our terrain from our inner heart, but in order live with increasing ease, freedom and joy, its essential to remember who we really are. Listen to what that this and why remembering this can help guide you on your path. I dedicate this episode to the character of Yoda ("and what a powerful ally it is") and to all the families impacted by the circumstances in Afghanistan.
Being with what is is shorthand for being with ourselves. Yet this can bring up uncomfortable feelings or something else we're avoiding. What happens when we can be with what is? What happens when we don't? What's in it for us and how does your body play into this? This week I read from David Whyte's Winter of Listening. I invite you to pause at multiple points during the many passages of this poem to notice your experience and affirm what feels good.
Part of our jobs as humans is to come into relationship with each other which can seem the challenging task of all. Why Big Love? How does it help? This week I read from Although the Wind by Izumi Shikibu (translated by Jane Hirshfield) and On the Other Side by Lynn Ungar.
When we hurt, our grief, hurt, shame or fear can feel overpowering, making us feel it is all that is real. What is our passageway through? How can Big Love assist? This week I read from William Stafford's You Reading This Be Ready and Mark Nepo's Instructions to My Small Self. The subsequent micro-lesson can be used as a guided meditation.
I read Self Love by Lang Leav and Sweet Darkness by David Whyte and share inspiration from the ebbs of life, when our terrain feels particularly difficult.
I read aloud the poems: "A Center" by Ha Jin and 'The Delight Song of Tsoai Talee' by N. Scott Momaday. I speak to the importance of connecting to this for yourself and what compels me to bring these soundcard offering to you.
I read from "The Breathing" by Denise Levertov and "The Great Scarf of Birds" by John Updike for what I experience as a silent joy.
