Someone recently asked me how to live with grace when the world feels like it is “spinning out of control”.\u00a0 How do you calm the craziness of an overactive mind and just have peace? There are all kinds of things we can do to stay centered and tuned into the Silent Center… but nobody said it would be easy.<\/p>\n
And really, you’re a living human being. You’re going to have all kinds of experiences, and all kinds of reactions.\u00a0 What’s awesome is to be really aware of your feelings, where they’re coming from, and rather than getting all twisted up in them, just feel them and observe them.<\/p>\n
And no matter how your life looks right now, remember to start each day with an attitude of gratitude… not in a superficial way, but genuinely take a look at the wonders that you’ve been graced with..yes, even in times of crisis. Perhaps especially then.\u00a0 Once you start this practice, it can change your whole life. Really.<\/p>\n
Sit in silence for\u00a0 few minutes.\u00a0 Feel gratitude for this experience of living on planet Earth.<\/p>\n
Do yoga or tai-chi and appreciate the flexibility and strength that you have today.\u00a0 Dance.\u00a0 Sing.\u00a0 Play an instrument.\u00a0 Do some gardening.\u00a0 Create art.\u00a0 Create beauty. Be kind.\u00a0 And when you take political action – do it from a place of love.<\/p>\n
Schedule a session with me if you feel the need of some guidance.\u00a0 Drawing strength from each other is a good thing.\u00a0 Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you feel the need… and then, when you feel ready, pass it on.<\/p>\n
That’s how this works.<\/p>\n
