Haiku – inner message

~
Find your Middle Ground
Hear the message deep inside
Spirit is your guide

This is a bold post from me.

Every day I choose to take time to pause, and be still. My intention is to notice what is beyond my thinking mind. It happens in the dawn light when I don’t have to jump out of bed, or when I am in nature, or sitting at my desk with pen and paper at hand, as well as on the yoga mat.

Sometimes an intuitive spark will show itself, which makes me smile… like reaching out to someone as they were thinking about me, or knowing how someone is feeling before they say anything.

It only takes a moment now to drop deep within, to a place of stability and calming presence. I come home to my Self. I call this place my Middle Ground, or Centre of Being.

Since the pandemic I have been following John D Prendergast. His teachings and books take us into our bodies and senses, and beyond our thinking mind. We become attuned to the Life Force, Divine Source or Spirit within us. When we open up to this, we find a place for healing and opening to infinite love and compassion. I feel so grateful that I can connect to It beyond the rush and push of the outer world, or the distraction of inner thoughts.

I have felt some uneasiness over the past weeks. A sense of something brewing or something that has to be completed. I know I am not alone in this.

The deep message that came up for me when I sat asking for guidance was “Be bold! Don’t hold back”. Hence this bold post.

If you are curious what might come up for you, then please join me in this Self Inquiry practice inspired by John’s teaching. (Listen to the audio recording to get the full benefit)

Self Inquiry Practice:

Take a moment to pause… Find a quiet place where you wont be disturbed… Be okay with sitting for a while… Nothing to do but be present right here and now… Connect to your breath… Let your awareness drop down into your body… Your heart area… Deeper into the belly… All the way to the ground. Bring a hand to your heart and an other onto your belly… Take a few deep breaths… Feel the settling in and settling down… Breathe into it… Relax into your body… Dropping down… dropping in…

Now ask. “What wants to be known”?… And wait to see what arises from deep within, beyond your thinking mind.

Let us be present to the next unfolding, within us, between us and all around.

Namaste
