The Lifestyle of a 'Kind Mind'
I would like to open up with a poem by Gloria Piper Roberson (Mamo) from Wenatchee, Wa.
" The heart breaks and breaks
And lives by breaking
It is necessary to go through the dark
And the deeper dark, not to turn.
~ Mamo
The significance of this poem provides a piece of the template necessary in cultivating a 'kind mind'. Change gets to be embraced on the deepest & yet simplest level. The capacity to continue allowing change to be there without resistance, fear or denial is huge for the peace of mind. Every breath of change has the desire to be seen and felt deeply for it is this depth that invites new beginnings with ease from the completion of the old. Unfinished business as Caroline Myss says is key in self-confidence. The should have's the could have's hinder the bud of growth from the core of our being. Finishing up from the past allows for all the bodies to unify bringing wholeness and expansion to all of life's experiences. The senses are heightened to more of their fullest potential with more space to create new life.
Today's process as it relates to the above is that upon waking up there are threads of sadness. I keep getting nudged to explore these feelings of emptiness & fear. I began seeing signs of the yesterday during an all day workshop, " Inward Bound" facilitated by "TheRippleFoundation.com" A local group formed with the intention of providing a safe container for personal transformation. The small signs were the words that came to me during questions to our group. I heard "stress, instability & darkness" These are quite useful clues in working with bringing light to the shadow parts. I reflected after class in a journal entry & then completed a self portrait mini painting. The colors in the painting were not as I had initially envisioned and yet presented key components as to where my energies were presently. Without judgement I hung it to dry in it's easel.
The initiating factor to the journal entry came from our exercise on inner guidance. We were asked to write a question down, narrowing it down to a few words as to something we would like to have guidance around. Immediately my present theme came, Stable Life. Going in and down, connecting & asking for assistance from my higher self as to an anecdote. In the exercise we were shown a slide show of images to assist in evoking our guidance. I practice this on a daily basis & this was quite familiar work/play as I dove right in with excitement. Many of the images were animals which I have studied their Native American medicine for quite some time. This was quite natural for me & yet I intended to be fully present without any past conceived meanings of the animals as to have a fresh look at the messages they were bringing. I began to notice after sharing in our group that the mind wanted to play, tricking me? Or was that my imagination working to enhance the guidance? Each animal began to draw me in to the point where I became it. I could feel their actions as I were the one. More to explore here.
The first image was the bear in winter snow walking with one foot up in air taking next step. The strength in his paws kept drawing me as if to remind me of taking slow powerful steps one at a time. Digging into the snow with his focused look forward spoke of going deeper within yet keeping my head up, forward and focused. The second image of our beautiful earth landscape of mountains over looking a lake with the reflection of the mountains clearly in it. This was confirmation that all that is ever desired is within and all around. The mirrors of life and from nature as to all our questions and guidance. The third image of an eagle's profile with the feminine eye looking steady into my soul. I heard the words remain steady, clear and focused on the desire. Thoughts of soaring high above all expectations and worry to see the non-personal aspects to life. Rising above all mundane issues will allow me more abilities to see the real questions in my life.
The following picture of the galaxy took that soaring even bigger than anything small in my world. This was expansion, infinite possibilities and trust in our vast connection to All. This brought the feelings of peaceful openings and freedom. This love continued in the image of a jaguar in the wild. He brought messages of facing all that is front of me now with unconditional love. Gently staring into my heart I felt so much love and tenderness. This is that love to give back to myself every day. Next was the deer, which is one of my totem animal guides since I was a child. A profile of a buck with his antlers strong and receiving spirit. I heard and felt 'stillness & listen'. Gently be aware he nudged. The last image was well suited for the ending as an owl was in flight prepared for an action of landing. My eyes were drawn to his enormous legs and their position. He said grab it, fly and land. Grabbing life's wisdom's fully in a graceful motion. I felt and heard the wings around my shoulders as if nudging & reminding me to open & spread my wings. Slowing down to speed up.
Life's full of messages every present moment where there are no attachments as to their form or timing. Allowing the mind to be kind by remaining open invites the magic into life. To not "know" is to know on a deeper level, this is where words of the heart are able to be heard.
