A digest for conscious living
My practice was abbreviated this morning because of a lack of time, but I was still able to carry out a short yoga session and a short meditation.
My routine has been completely disrupted by my mother’s visit so I have to simply accept that my practice is being affected and observe the effects that this change in my routine has on my state. Its good to be reminded that every habit can become a crutch or an addiction and that its always interesting and perhaps beneficial to shake up my habits.
Since yesterday I have been experiencing a bit of negative emotional energy arise within me. It has been manifesting itself as background feelings of impatience, anxiety about my finances, and frustration with the general and rather deplorable state of humanity. I recognize this imposter, here once again- fear. The feelings are there, and I am observing them, but I am grateful that I have not been completely taken over by them.
I have to remember that the outer circumstances that I am afraid of or am resentful of, are outer manifestations of dissonances within me- and these have a function. Just like pain brings my attention to the part of my body that needs my attention, they are there to bring my attention to the part of my mind that needs it. My attention can then guide my intent- to heal myself and bring all parts of me into harmony. The degree to which I create this harmony will be the degree of harmony which is present in my entire universe. Its good to have this perspective, it generates the necessary motivation in order to meet the challenges I have to face.
Goodnight,
Kikta
