meeting the moment with reverence & care
I am trying to be in the present. I am trying to slow down. I am trying to be very mindful.
Of course, there's a voice that scoffs, Who has time to be present, these days? These are dire times. You need to be everywhere, at once. Everywhere except here.
Connecting with what’s at heart
The mind (the imagination) is an excellent time traveller and shapeshifter. But notice: where does that leave the body, right now? Where does that leave the heart and all that it's holding in the present?I want to offer the idea of tuning back into the heart — however this has meaning for you — to find clarity and ease in the present.
Sitting with mental & emotional indigestion
What does mental and emotional indigestion look, feel, and/or sound like within you? What might it look, feel, and/or sound like to acknowledge, sit with or be present with this discomfort? How might you invite more ease, gentleness, softness, pleasure and/or curiosity into this process?
Easing into the dark, keeping the heart light
When do you tense up in fear? What do you notice about this tension? What does it feel like in your body? Is it possible to shift the weight? What would it feel like to keep your eyes open in the dark? What would it feel like to ease into the unknown with an open heart? How might you cultivate a relationship with the unknown?
