MUD PIES AND EMOTIONS.

In general our level of conscious awareness and emotions go up and down throughout our days.

An example could be: Our children are in the garden making ‘mud pies’. They get a little silly and start to smear some on each other’s faces. The garden is starting to look quite untidy and they’re laughing.

Scenario one: We walk into the garden. We feel annoyed. We stop their fun and immediately tell them this isn’t acceptable and they must clear up and behave.

Scenario two: We stand at the doorway looking at these little ones that we love so much. Our heart swells and we may even join in with the fun. Knowing it’ll be easy to clear up later and we’re just feeling at peace and gratitude that our children are happy&healthy and that we have family around us.

To be clear, I am not saying any of the above is right or wrong and it also doesn’t mean that we allow our children to run amok.

But which way feels better?

Which scenario feels lighter?

We can become stuck in negative patterns and see life from a blurred perspective, life can feel difficult, dense and tiring. There can be a ‘poor me’ mentality.

However, from a clearer seeing, life is light hearted, abundant, fun and less serious.

There is a specific reason that I’m pointing this out ~ Have you noticed one huge pointing about what is written above?

The outer world / the outer situation has not changed?

So how come it can look and feel so differently from one day (or moment) to the next?

How can this be?

Well, it all depends on where we are viewing from.

Are we viewing from the worried, frantic, stressed mind.

Or are we viewing from the lightness and grace of the heart.

I’m guessing we would all prefer to be in a peaceful feeling state more often than we so often are.

We know we cannot force ourselves to become a certain way, so how to live more from the peace and flow of who we truly are…

A ‘practice’ to living more from a peace filled state is a regular awareness based meditation practice where we start to gently notice when negative thought and emotion are here… Not to give ourselves a hard time (of course) but simply to become curious of the coming and going of this pull to negativity that can often spiral if allowed to unconsciously be in control.

So if you’re looking for an event outside of yourself to change in order for your life to feel better, read the above again.

Situations and circumstances change…

But what is it that remains at constant peace.
