Softening Against the Wind
Imagine willow trees bending in the wind. If the trees just bend and do not resist the wind, the wind just blows by. They can bounce back up again when the wind passes. But if the trees are stiff and resist the wind, they are in danger of breaking or being damaged.
The wind can symbolize a disturbance or setback that comes from outside or within you. If you develop a habit of softening rather than stiffening or tensing up, you have an opportunity in the moment to recognize the wind is a force (internal or external), trying to keep you off balance and away from peace within.
This process of softening - letting go of tension and resistance in your physical body - helps create a trigger to return to peace.
Learning to soften helps you respond in the most appropriate and healing way - and not to attack back on inner-self or others that cause the disturbance.
You will save yourself alot of anxiety and stress and maintain your perspective as you allow it to just pass on by as you recover your place of peace.
it is not very hard. There is not alot to remember besides saying the word "soften" to yourself when disturbances arise and allow your body to exhale, relax shoulders, fists and other clenched body parts and to soften in the moment.
With softening comes a return to inner peace.
With inner peace comes awareness of God within you. (Oneness)
With this Oneness comes joy in living.*
Namaste...
