William Shakespeare said these words. A wise man sharing wisdom that reminds us that stepping out of our thinking minds and into the creativity of our minds is an opening to our immense possibility.
I have recently started sharing my Back to Being classes and I am truly grateful for the beautiful souls that are showing up to share, to listen, to move, to breathe, to let go, grow to feel and transform. Not an easy journey to step into, especially in a world that has been so heavily indoctrinated with rules, more rules, judgements and a focus on doing and doing more. The idea of Being can feel very uncomfortable, even ridiculous to some! Even now, I still find myself in the chaos of doing and then I catch myself or my husband points it out... I am creating chaos too! Its not to say we cannot 'do,' of course there is plenty to do in life... but it is relearning to be while we are doing. To be fully aware, fully present. And when we are fully present, judgements start to fade, conflicts start to diminish and our idea of right or wrong becomes foggy, hazy.... what is right or wrong....? We have been told what is right or wrong but is it actually... or are our experiences in each moment simply, what it is.
Of course there are many things that happen that are 'wrong' but actually perhaps if we start to change the language from 'this or that is wrong' to 'this feels wrong' we then have the awareness and choice to feel the discomfort and by feeling it we are able to move on pretty swiftly or to step away. By being aware of the discomfort we can make sure we do not experience such a thing again... in the same way if we 'feel' something is 'right' then we have the awareness to put more of our energy on areas in life that lift us, and make us feel good, great even.
By 'feeling' experiences we are living life. By judging a concept or experience we are surviving life because we end up putting so many words and stories to an experience by sharing it with another as right or wrong that we ourselves forget to actually feel what is going on... the experience becomes outside of us... but if we allowed ourselves to feel we would KNOW which way to go because our heart would be directing our life because we would be naturally drawn to what feels good/right!
Rather than our head directing our life born out of conditioned rights and wrongs and shoulds and musts.... there is nothing integral here unless we FEEL what is true to each of us.
So next time you find yourself saying this is not 'right' .... step back and breathe and consider... 'this feels super uncomfortable.... with this awareness I am going to focus on how I can feel good in this situation or feel it and leave it or feel it and learn from it or let it go... and focus on creating scenarios in my life that lift me and make me feel good and 'right'."
Words might try and come in and be all noisy and try and create exciting stories to either side... but just see if you can feel everything that comes up... it is a different experience, a being experience.
As I write this, we have just lost our beautiful friend and dog Willa. She had a growth on her nose and yesterday she was ready to leave the earthly plane and dance in the stars. while While walking her and her doggies friends the day before last, I considered going into the narrative of all the details that came with the lump, the sadness and all the emotions and adjectives that can come with that and the details of what she was going through and we have witnessed and I observed this narrative trying to build in my head and how it made me feel - tense, sad and not good. Instead, I chose to look at the sky... where we saw a sparrow hawk and then later a robin who was singing so loudly we actually stopped to listen. The dogs and I. And I felt good. I felt peaceful. I felt grateful for Willa's life. I felt grateful to be able to have had the experiences we had all shared with her, for the lessons she had taught us... I felt grateful that by looking up I had remembered that we are so deeply intertwined and connected that her passing is only in 'form' and her energy, her spirit is with all of those that loved her, wherever in the world they might be. So, by simply changing my perception, my viewpoint (literally too in this instance) I chose something that gave me peace, calm and beauty and raised my vibration, rather than focusing on much of the human conditioning which is born out of fear and the low vibration of 'how awful...'
Of course the feelings of sadness are there but with these is a sense of knowing, a knowing that she is at peace and moving and grooving in a form that I cannot see but can, at times, definitely feel.
The more 'being' like we are, the more choice we have to choose again in our choice of thoughts, use of words, choice of action, foods, company and whether we want to vibe low or vibe high.
With love and light and many hugs and much laughter
May your day be filled with beauty and magic
