As mind merges inside the heart, true understanding awakens.
You are the invisible inside the visible, the unmoving inside all movements.
Like space moving in space glowing inside a thin skin called a human being.*
~ Mooji
I had to smile as I read these words from Mooji …. I’m feeling a bit thin skinned today
When I’m feeling thin skinned, and easily irritated, I feel separate with my thoughts. Its time to open my heart and connect to the understanding that lies there.
This is a lovely reminder to being awareness to where our minds are. Are you attuned to your heart?
Please join me in taking a Middle Ground Pause, and breathe into the loving space glowing inside.
Namaste

Easily irritated. A common house for me (unfortunately)

Like Mooji says, you are awareness, and awareness doesn’t care how you feel. You get this. H ❤

I like your directness Hariod 💛Sometimes we need a reminder not to be so attached to the bag of skin and thinking mind. I do admire how Mooji takes us into our hearts to bring us there.

Bringing heart into driving is a tough shift to make in the moment Diana. This is where a mantra like “let it go” or “let them go” or simply “breathe!” can allow the moment to pass… and the heart to be open. Thank you for stopping by 💛

Awareness is a never ending process with me. A little carelessness takes the mind to takes you to the territories you don’t want to go. Nice reminder. Namaste. Have a nice day dear.

Yes, that’s how I woke up a couple of hours ago. Aware of too many aches from overdoing things yesterday, feeling my age, knowing a day will come when many tasks here will become too difficult for me, and generally feeling irritable and unhappy about the future. Not a familiar place for me! ☹️

When we don’t accept reality, it kicks up a lot of irritation and resistance. It’s a great lesson for tuning in to what is more important – the love in our hearts, rather than the deterioration of the physical body 💕

I have found that whenever I’m feeling especially thin-skinned and fragile, then it’s time for me to stop and figure out what is at the root of it. And once I recognize that and come to grips with it, then I usually feel a lot less fragile. Recognizing my emotions is not my strong point, but I’m working on it!

Tuning in to our emotions can be difficult Ann. I know that I became quite numb over the years until, I came to realize that I was actually a very sensitive person… and not recognizing my feelings was a way of coping. I’m not saying that of you….
Self inquiry is so important, as is allowing ourselves to feel. Feeling can be so freeing 💛
