It seems a thick cloud of anxiety has settled in, and no matter where you live, there is plenty to blame it on. But where does blaming events we cannot control leave us?
In a thick cloud of anxiety.
Whether it’s politics or terrorism or the economy or health concerns, so many things can go wrong in so many ways, and for many, fear has become a constant companion.
Stop now please
Don’t go there. For your sake and the sake of all of us, don’t run after all the ways your life could be upended at any moment. Don’t let your mind wander into what-ifs. Don’t vote for panic.
Stay present with what’s right. Come home now.
Every day
Your daily spiritual practice is a visit home. When you come home to yourself every day, you feel supported and nourished. You remember your value…and your values.
Your chosen spiritual practice might be Reiki, meditation, yoga, qigong, prayer — the list of possibilities is long. Or it could be something as simple as pausing to smile.
No matter which practice(s) you rely on to bring you home, you’ll create the most benefit for yourself (and those around you) by practicing daily, as in every day.
When you practice daily, you develop the habit of coming home to yourself instead of spinning into anxiety even when you are not practicing. Imagine how that will transform your life.
Keep coming home. Practice coming home. Practice now.
Thanks. Pamela. As both politics and the climate become sharper, I sometimes despair of getting back a sense of normalcy. You’re right that we can find that quietness every day if we continue our meditative practices. It helps to focus on feeling gratitude for the blessing we have and on conveying simplicity using our own lives.
Fabulous post for the NOW! Thank you for reminding us. If many of us hold our center, the opportunity for balance for all is magnified 100 times over.
I always appreciate reminders. Thanks Pamela, this was a good one. With love, Linda
I am a Reiki Master with over 30 years experience. Reiki self practice as well as my professional practice has been one of the most important balancing factors in my life. I feel blessed to have made the decision to train and bring Reiki into my life and the life of many others.
