Do you wear your heart on your sleeve? Are you always venting about how you have been wronged? If you had a bad day at the office is your whole day a right off? Is life spinning out of control? Do you feel like a victim of emotional abuse? Do you feel taken for granted? Does it always feel like it is just you who is being made to suffer?
If your answer to most of those questions is yes, then it is quite likely that you unable to separate the you in the background of your experience to what is happening all around you. You are fusing your identity to your ego and not your soul.
You need to step off the emotional roller coaster for a well needed time-out. Stop the swirling and the frantic pace and go within to the stillness. Detach yourself from your mind games, your ego, your intellect, your past conditioning and your habitual practises. Just STOP!
Now breathe! Close your eyes and breath into your diaphragm and expand your belly. Take long, slow inhalations and hold your breath for as long as you can. Then exhale focusing on releasing all negativity and tension. With your eyes closed notice how all your other senses awaken. Your hearing becomes intensified. The sounds around you suddenly become louder. Your internal dialogue from your body parts is sharpened. You can notice small shifts within that you were oblivious to before when your eyes were open. In fact if you were to balance on one leg, you would very soon feel the struggle between the left and right hemispheres as your centre of gravity shifts intricately from your left brain to your right brain.
Shut out the distractions of the world and journey within. Find the solace and the peace. Visit with the 'main event' you, who is largely ignored when your eyes are open.
This 'you' is your parent self. This is your companion and help meet, your Spirit guide. This is the you who is at the helm of your life experience. Spend time connecting with your Spirit self in the dark where all your senses evolve. Recognise that it is out of this darkness that all of creation has its origin. Die to your outer self so you can be born again here in the dark. Close your eyes so you can see again. Shut out all visible distractions and dream a new dream.
Everything out there is like a movie. And your Spirit is the spectator. Anytime the movie feels too real and personal, just close your eyes and remind yourself of your true identity. You will notice that Spirit is never frazzled. Spirit is like an anchor of rock solid content. Spirit doesn't get thrown about on the treacherous waves without. Spirit is one eternal presence of calm.
This is your inheritance. This calm is all yours. All you need do is become quiet and go within. In the stillness God speaks to us through the connect of our souls. When we are one with Spirit, all the material world is of secondary importance. Our egos are side stepped and we find ourselves at home.
So, if you're an emotional roller coaster, don't lash out at others with radical accusations and demands for others to buckle to your needs. Go within and source your peace. Close your eyes and feel the warmth of Spirit's eternal presence. Feel safe and secure and loved. Know that everything you are is as it is meant. Let go of attachment to your experiences, past and present. Just witness them as a bystander. Take from any experience those memories you wish to learn from and discard the rest. You are at the helm. You are not a victim. You need not be whirled screaming along in the unreality of the roller coaster ride. Just close your eyes and reach within. That is where reality prevails. Choose to live your life from the calm of your Spirit rather than the outer chaos of one fearful roller coaster ride to the next.
Have a calm and centred week accessing your peace
love
