When I am in my room, I find it so easy to focus on the truth of me; how loved I am, that love is all there is, I am powerful beyond imagination… the works.
But when I am in a crowd, in class, standing in line, waiting with a group of people, I find it so hard to focus. Impossible even.
All those affirmations, beliefs and practices go right out of the window, in such situations and I am left wondering about the usefulness of enlightenment, if it doesn’t aid you in moments of need.
I think I am not alone in this. We have all been in situations where the group's energy and currents have engulfed us completely, beyond the scope of clarity.
When we are in a group, fully aware of our body and the surrounding physical world, we begin relying on our mortal strength and knowingness.
In other words, the ego takes charge.
We can’t help but let it take charge, because it is the only way we can see in the moment to get out of the suffering. And the endless narrations and suggestions begin, with our minds swaying and billowing, struggling and pining for escape, whining and pitying.
Luckily, or not so randomly, I came across a beautiful gift. An age old practice featured in a life changing book…
….
Metta is a Buddhist practice wherein one pours loving energy into the now. Quite simply, you allow love, peace, happiness, joy, compassion, kindness, belonging, comfort, safety, connection and energy to flow into your awareness; you also allow it to flow into everyone around you.
This is awesome! Pure sheer awesomeness….
By allowing the love to flow into you, by opening yourself to receiving, you stop doing and pushing and wanting and needing… you instead start being, what you already are. Which is what we are trying for, by all our meaningless pushing.
The peace you experience out of this practice is simply a manifestation of the truth that there is nowhere you need to go and nothing you have to do to be what you already are.
….
Today, send Thoughts Of Love into everyone’s lives. Send love to the stranger walking past you,
send joy to the neighbours you fought with,
send love to the trees gracing your path,
send fun and laughter to sad people,
send goodness into the lives of your dear family members,
Send angels of beauty and peace into the awareness of everyone you meet.
Will this make an actual tangible difference?
YES.
Every thought is actual energy, with more substance to it than we ever give it credit for.
The people you send love to will not obviously, know that you are sending them thoughts of love. They will receive it in the form of support and love that they need in that moment.
You are aligning with the Universal Order and Flow of Absolutely Fascinating Fantabulous Cooolness and you get to play your part in the real adventure that we all embarked together…
This is exactly how happy you will feel when all your areas of transformation have come to pass in the most awesome ways possible.
By doing this activity, among the others that we have been doing all these days, we are going to that place, that paradise of Perfection that we yearn for, right now. Only this way is way more effortless and easy and joy filled than a 31 step program to success.
So send that love! Have that fun! Feel that joy, NOW!
LOVE YA' ALL!!!😘😘😘😘
