Saturday I attended a class titled “A Loving Force Practice” at the Union of Body, Mind and Soul in Milford. As soon as I walked through the door, I noticed a board with the message “The moon is a reminder that no matter what phase you are in you are still whole.” As it turned out, the space I occupied the entire class was directly in front of this magnificent message and it was a beautiful representation of thoughts and feelings I experienced throughout the hour, and it brought home two messages that are central to my focus at this time.
The first is the mantra…you are my sun, my moon, my stars, my love…that has been central to my being for the past several months. Those words…those few words…spoke the entire message of my soul…they encompassed everything…the depth of my thoughts…the breadth of my feelings…and the expansiveness of my love. No other words come close to expressing my connection to the love of my life.
Second is the concept that wholeness and wellness is a fundamental desire. I want to experience the breadth and depth of life and I can only do that when I am operating from a place of wholeness and wellness physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. It encompasses my daily spiritual practice, my physical activity, my food intake, what I feed my mind, and what connections I have with others.
Regardless of where I am…or what I am feeling…or what I am doing at a particular moment or phase, I am whole...I am whole…I am whole.
This idea can be both comforting and overwhelming. Comforting because it allows us to extend grace to ourselves…to acknowledge our humanity with all our flaws and imperfections. It can be overwhelming because it means we must let go of ideas that keep us stuck…ideas such as unworthiness of love or success or abundance or joy. To accept our worthiness means we accept responsibility for our thoughts, feelings and choices…and that, dear one, is the basis of our freedom. For when we accept responsibility for our thoughts, feelings, and choices,, we are unencumbered by the past or the future, and fully capable of living in the precious present.
Blessings for a beautiful NOW...
