In a few days I leave for Japan, a place I've always wanted to see, and very high on my bucket list!
Traveling to a vastly different culture reminds me of a promise I made to myself a very long time ago: that I would refuse to be someone who had to have everything in place, all my ducks in a row, before I could enjoy my life. The springtime reminds me of this avowal I formed within my deepest heart. I am an avid explorer by nature in both the inner and outer expanse of my life.
The disquietude that creeps into my life now and again is often an extension of my inability to tap into this reckless abandonment that feeds my spirit. For me, it is not only a necessity for my sanity as a healer, but very crucial for my own development, to live life with adventurous freedom, to never forget the feeling of releasing inhibition and taking chances. That freedom might mean taking a walk to that brand new bakery down the street or taking my dog on a new hike, or having that dreaded conversation with someone close with an open and willing heart.
What usually gets in my way is none other than my mind, the beast of chatter. I enslave myself with all the "urgent" matters and "have-tos" that just can't possibly wait. What gets in the way is loss of memory. The remembrance of what enlivens my heart and soul. When I release myself from captivity, I remember what actually makes me happy. And THAT, I assure you, will NOT be forgotten in the coming months.
So I ask myself (and you) this: If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don't like, and like so many things we don't do? Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?
When we free the mind, we free our lives. Generally speaking, whatever reasons we give ourselves to NOT do something, is a story, and that story most likely does not have a happy ending. So, take a moment and remind yourself again, that the voice you might want to listen to is probably NOT the one berating you, adding more things to your long list of to-dos, or filling you with guilt. There is another voice somewhere in there, whispering to your heart, reminding you of what's possible, and what you can truly have and experience.
What if you can shift your focus away from hardship and inadequacy? Let the Spring rains come and clear your mind, reshape the wind, and direct your ship to a new light, a new adventure. Then, the beauty of who you are is revealed, your magnificence shines, stepping into a new space, bold like Spring flowers.
Namaste,
