When I am in stress my body wants to shorten my breath and tighten the sinews of my bones in defense. Everything seems to scream at me to run the other direction, to get as much distance between me and what I find threatening as I can.
What I have learned however is that the answers are found in moving toward what stresses and frightens me, not away from it. It is a doorway, a transformative threshold, that is beckoning me to my next level.
When I am in stress I now know that this is the time to dive deeper, to reach through the murk to the core of Truth where the heat waves rising from the problems do not distort. Staying in the shallows stuck in the surface currents and feelings provides no answers.
When my heart feels heavy and weighted I remind myself to BREATHE. To infuse my being with the light of Spirit. To raise it up with the buoyancy of breath and at the same time, anchor it, ground it, in the bedrock of Truth.
One of my first paths to wholeness in these moments is to recognize that light, that spark in another person and compliment it. Like blowing on kindling that is just catching fire, the sparks multiply and their warmth and brilliance envelopes BOTH of us.
Sit in the silence and breathe. This is all I need to remember.
Go back to the basics, the building blocks, the essential Truth.
God and I are one.
From this place a spaciousness opens up within and around my fears. The knotted tangles of energy release and light begins to flow between the narrow places. There is Divine Light that fills the Universe and enlivens every space, every thing, every thought and every feeling. This Divine Light is the Divine Potential of our Highest and Best in every Sacred Moment.
Enter the Mishkan, the dwelling place of your Divine Beingness and ALL becomes jeweled with this light. Everything that doe not share it's frequency is shaken loose, dissolved and dissapates into nothingness.
All is Spirit. The deeper you go, the higher you go, all is Spirit.
