I am sitting here blog hopping, eating oatmeal and drinking the very best cup of coffee! How fabulously wonderful is my life. I just finished teaching yoga at my girls elementary school for a program I started called Wellness Wednesday. So I have to admit I am hopped up on the sweetness of elementary aged kids' wonderment and willingness to play, explore and laugh. Such a reminder to be in the moment, laugh instead of get frustrated and explore new things with a smile. A very different place than the one I have been in...
Its been a rough couple of days of my heart being cloaked with some very solid film. I was in the shower getting ready for wellness wednesday when I noticed the shower had a combination of fog, soap scum, and some wear and tear. Let's just say it has seen better days. I had a thought that this is the kind of "stuff" that happens to my heart (stay with me I have a point). Sometimes doubt, fear, lack and unworthiness creep into my thoughts covering my heart or true nature. My body feels sore, worn and tired. When I finished showering I reached for the squeegee and wiped all of the "stuff" off. Clear light filtered in essentially making everything look a little brighter.
Our hearts get fogged, negative film develops and our outer shell feels wear and tear from living. For me, self care in the form of meditation, asana (yoga poses) and rest are what help squeegee away the "stuff" and help bring clarity, light and renewal. Sometimes it takes more than a squeegee - sometimes it needs a good scrubbing. A cleaning of habitual patterns that no longer serve. A thorough inspection (introspection) of all the stuff that cloaks the heart or my true nature. Its time to start being comfortable with what arises sometimes pushing past the comfort zone and into the magical zone.
Think about the ways your heart or true nature become coated. What helps squeegee away that stuff? I would love to hear from you.
