Don't think. Just breathe and drift.
Noserumi
good morning.
Although we keep saying it's spring, the thermometer in my house hasn't gone above 10 degrees for the past few days.
Once it got warm in mid-March, I got ahead of myself and changed my house and clothes to spring mode. Even though it's warmer outside, my hands are still numb as I write this article because I didn't take off my winter clothes and put them back on (lol).
But I'm very happy that the cold weather here continues into early April, and my heart is back to normal. "Thank you" is what I say over and over again.
Today's blog will share with you some photos of the changing seasons.
For a moment I have decided (my will, not my ego, is telling me) that today is the day to take a breather.
It was either yesterday or early this morning.
To give an example, it's like when you feel something like dizziness happening (or it's starting to happen) and you look inward.
For the past few weeks, one organ has been telling me pain, but my healthy mind has been living happily with it.
The idea that illness and pain are medicine, and that minor pain is not enough to stop you.
This isn't a big deal, but a daily occurrence for most people.
Most of the little things in everyday life are "okay," and living means existing with pain, but it may be very important to be able to discern that.
Sometimes a healthy mind and body is too much of a stretch.
Not my story, but yours.
The body that I thought was healthy now distorts my expression.
My healthy inner self is shaking.
I don't know which came first, the chicken or the egg, but that's the system we have.
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm really fine, but sometimes I get dizzy.
There are many messages that the phenomenon is trying to tell us at that time.
What a thought... I can't help but think that, but what I need now is
Don't think about anything. It feels so good you don't even realize you're not thinking about it.
Simply surrender yourself to the rotation of the earth, the changing of sun and shadow, the cycle of the seasons, and the wind and tides.
But, being human, we can't help but think about it. And it's fun.
"What is this wild plant?" or "What is the name of this flower?"
I want to do this, I want to do that.
But I don't think about it.
I am being called to let go of all of that - even my intellectual desires, thoughts of the future, the never-ending work, and the things that arise from my interactions with others - and simply open up my body and drift.
It is only fleeting. And it is important. But that fleeting moment stretches on for eternity.
Just going to touch that abyss for a limited amount of time, like taking a breath, should be a form of therapy in itself.
Like life.
There's no point in writing too much, so I'll stop here.
Let the state of the plants over the past few months and the world today help us breathe life anew.
"Start by vomiting thoroughly.
When you think you've exhaled it all, inhale deeply.
We start our new moon and full moon meditations with this breathing technique, and sometimes just breathing makes me want to cry.
Maybe that day will be for tomorrow.
Slowly, slowly, have an irreplaceable day.
