Every Now and Then

Conscious Living, quiet, quiet heart, quiet mind, quiet reflection, quieting the heart, quieting the mind, relinquishing

There are times when I slip into a silent space falling into a void of uncertainty and unknowing. My mind wonders about choices, paths and stories lost to the past. Although I am present, the open space begins to fill with questions. 

During these days I do my best to simply breathe and be ever more present without judgement or guilt. I can’t possibly know if the choices were right or wrong. I can’t see the end of the path nor rewrite stories lost. All I can do is just breathe the moment and relinquish my body to this space. 

Perhaps this is a symptom of again and something everyone experiences along the way of maturity and growth. Perhaps it is a good thing that there is this reflective time often experienced with tears. Perhaps this is the recalibration of energy and emotion to allow a moment and space for a new beginning. 

So I move through the motions of the day with conscious movement and breath in order to find my grounding and sense of anchoring during what feels like a downpour of unknowing. Sensing and listening through my feet seems to be the only way to make sense of it all. 

Sense of the insensible.

Allowing Time for Space

This is the moment. This one. This one right here that we must pay attention to. Face this moment with a focus and attention giving yourself to exactly what is happening in your present. Nothing else matters. Really, nothing else matters.

I find myself able to create and exist in a much more congruent space when I simply allow myself the time to be with time. When I give myself in these ways I not only open up this moment, pressing back the walls of time, suspending its passage;but I also am able to push open the space internally as well as in my proximal and distal experience. This is the space where one becomes larger than they believed themselves to be with even greater awareness of potential and possibility.

There is really no reason to be frantically falling through time bombarded by the noise of voices other than your own internal spirit. There is no need to stand in front of a world courageously accepting the barrage of negativity and fear. No point in allowing hate to be something that you simply try to ignore with the justification that “that’s just the way it is”.  I assure you, it is not.

Challenge yourself to experience moments more fully using back time to create the space that your soul needs. Give yourself a chance to be who you need to be in this moment, at this time, in this space. Try to spend more energy focusing on what is in your immediate present. Give yourself to seeing others around you. Stop racing and start living. Where are you going anyway, your grave?
