Keeping Our Center ~ Day 42

Well, we’ve made it through a little more than a month of the official stay-at-home order here in Wisconsin (obviously I started these reflections before the Governor issued the order) and we have one month to go (at least)! My question of the day is: how is it with your soul? Do you know? Have you checked in with yourself lately?

Awareness is crucial to the spiritual journey, but it is also crucial to surviving well in times like these. Being stuck at home, most of us have more time and space to cultivate a deeper communication with True Selves. But my guess is that most of us don’t. As unhappy as the situation is around the world, it is still easier to put our time into reading up on the latest statistics and protest marches than it is to put our time into understanding ourselves, why we do and say the things we do, and using this time to grow more loving, more compassionate and more connected with the Divine. 

I encourage all of us, especially on this Sabbath day, to stop long enough to check in with our souls and answer ourselves honestly. Are the people you’re living with driving you nuts? Is it their fault (which our egos surely say it is) or is it triggering something else in us? Are you feeling safe? Scared? Vulnerable? Are you comfortable with silence, turning off the electronics and being with yourself? If not, why? 

What do you need to do to take care of yourself? Do you need to carve out a little alone time in a house where you are “trapped” with a few other people? Or do you need to call a friend and reconnect in a meaningful way with another human being? Do you need to get outside, even if the weather isn’t perfect, to feel the energy of nature and let it feed your soul? Do you need to find someone to help you through this time, or through other feelings and emotions that are coming up? 

And if you ever need someone to talk things through with, I’m here! Where would I go??

Love & Light!
