EMBODIMENT

7/26/2020

0 Comments

 
When lost in the maelstrom of thinking mind and swirling emotion, it can be helpful to drop down into your body and sense. Sense what is present now…warm, cool, pain, pressure, clothing, air, comfort, discomfort. Be the observer, embodying your body. Cultivating a felt-sense awareness, even of discomfort, can be centering.

In mindful presence,
​Lori

Awareness Knowing Itself

Settle in the here and now.
Reach down into the center
where the world is not spinning
and drink this holy peace.

Feel relief flood into every
cell. Nothing to do. Nothing
to be but what you are already.
Nothing to receive but what
flows effortlessly from the
mystery into form.

Nothing to run from or run
toward. Just this breath,
Awareness knowing itself as
embodiment. Just this breath,
awareness waking up to truth.

―Danna Faulds

REVEAL

Surely since the dawn of humankind, there have been inequities and injustices in the world. This is nothing new, and becomes more apparent every day as headlines scroll across your screens. It is easy to feel overly saturated by news and media, and at the same time, perhaps it is exactly this excess of global communication that is helping us shed even more light on the world’s crises and keeping these issues on the front burner. If we’re paying attention, we are also urged to look within, to reveal our own hidden shadows, and reexamine what we are putting out in the world.

​In mindful presence,
Lori
Things are not getting worse, they are getting uncovered.
We must hold each other tight and continue to pull back the veil.

SLOW

A harsh word quickly incites us to anger. An added challenge sparks anxiety. There is often just a nanosecond between a trigger and your reaction. If we can only slow ourselves down with just one inhale and one exhale, we may find the clarity we need to soften the reaction and respond with integrity.

In mindful presence,
​Lori
Sometimes I think there are only two instructions we need to follow to develop and deepen our spiritual life:
slow down and let go. ―Oriah Mountain Dreamer

REDISCOVER

It is so easy to be pulled into comparison mode, measuring ourselves against someone else’s merits and feeling inadequate. How quickly we give away our power. Sometimes dropping beneath the surface of thinking and resting into your body can bring you back to center, helping you rediscover the temple within.

In mindful presence,
​Lori
Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again. ―Joseph Campbell
