As we are getting closer to yet, another academic year, another set of joys/challenges/family vacations and holiday celebrations, here is an important reminder to practice “claiming your soul”, on a daily basis.
Before I dive into what I mean by that and how to follow little steps to support your soul, I wish ALL our kids an amazing year ahead. To parents who are transitioning their young adults into college life and will be getting used to a smaller nest – I HEAR YOU!!!
Claiming your soul can be done daily with few little steps:
Reminding yourself that you are NOT your thoughts, you are NOT your mistakes OR successes, you are NOT the mistakes your parents made etc….you are simply a SOUL experiencing, collecting your daily life sensations and energies, topped with a long line of generational collective energy – good/bad/ugly!!! Separate your attachment to the collection of energy you carry around with you and connect to something higher – a collective psyche; the understanding that the story of creation and life unfolds with or without us thinking about it; with or without us carrying it….it just is!!! The ability to plug into the deep understating of the collective psyche, instead of the collective trauma, mistakes, failures etc, is to plug into something which can never die, can never be taken away from you….a divine connection and guidance, like no other!!!!
And that first step above takes you even deeper, to one of the strongest messages from the book “A course in Miracles “. That is, the understanding and deep appreciation that “A Happy Outcome IS A SURE THING”!!!!
You see, when you fully internalize the meaning behind this belief, and no matter what, holding it close and practicing it daily, it brings you to the deepest, most beautiful places, where life, actually happens!
That is, the twist and turns, the Zig Zag of life events and the space they create! Imagine waiting in a long line at the airport and all signs are leading to that awful sensation that your flight is about to either get terribly delayed, or worse, canceled. What now????? What now?…….NOW!!!! Come to the present moment, and think again, A HAPPY OUTCOME IS A SURE THING and I promise, it will!!!! I cannot guarantee your flight situation but I can tell you that “other” events may happen that will expand you way more than you could realize, even more than a flight on time!!!
In that long line, when they finally announce that the flight will be delayed, you sigh and head to grab coffee and a magazine. An hour passes and an image of someone you have not seen in years, comes closer to your gate. That someone, who used to be an integral part of your daily life back in the days and what is she/he doing here and what are the odds?????? There is the hug, the tears and the “math” behind this encounter – “I could only make this flight because it was delayed”, that friends says, that is your math but really, it is the MIRACLE !!! The Zig Zag, the space created BECAUSE of the delay in order to plug in the HAPPY OUTCOME in the new space created for it!!!!!!
It is the mindset, it is the Zig Zag, it is the constant stubborn claim of the soul to experience a collective psyche that sees nothing besides, ‘A HAPPY OUTCOME IS A SURE THING”!!!!!
Now that is a way to live and claim your SOUL home each and every day!!!! Not at all easy but with breath, daily meditation and stillness, good sleep, healthy nutrition and yoga…..it is all coming!!!!
