Expand the Moment

Today’s thought is simple:

Expand the moment.

Whenever life seems especially challenging, you are experiencing tunnel vision, or you feel trapped in limitation and believe your choices go from bad to worse, expand the moment.

Imagine the current, dark, painful moment, however large or small you choose it to be, as outside of yourself and a real thing. Now, draw an imaginary circle around your “moment”. Let that circle begin to grow and grow. Do you see white space between the dark moment and the edge of the circle? As the circle continues to grow, imagine other aspects of your life filling it.

What is also present “now”?
What will you focus on in your next moment?

The Quick Recovery

I have written before about perfectionism and the beautifully imperfect human being that each of us is.  Today’s message is a short postscript:

Become adept at the Quick Recovery

When you notice that you have “failed”, been “imperfect”, not lived up to your expectations, caused pain in yourself or another, be quick to remember you are a beautifully imperfect human being! Then:

Take a deep breath.
Forgive yourself.
Love yourself.
Embrace your perfectly imperfect human expression.

From this place of love, compassion and inner freedom and wholeness ask:

 What now?

Do it.

Museum of Childhood

Museum of Childhood From the Royal Mile in Scotland, the Museum of Childhood

Take a moment. Travel back in time to your childhood. What are you aware of? Notice what was part of your childhood, what was possible in your experience. Notice also what seemed out of reach. Revisit people and places, sights and sounds, colors and emotions, activities and creativity, play and growth, pain and joy.

What memories need healing?
What from your childhood would enhance your life now?

What would support you in visiting your museum?

Touch The Tears

Touch the tears when sorrow comes
and your heart is bending low.
When heaviness has settled in,
touch the tears and let them flow.

Touch the tears, the cleansing wash,
the wellspring of your spiritual grace.
Release with abandon, holding not.
Touch the tears to your dry face.

Touch the tears with all your being.
Let your body shake and tremble:
true release of deepest feeling.
Touch the tears, let Spirit handle.
