Lesson 33: When you are awake...

Life is amazing when you are truly awake. Everything should be vibrant and lively. If we aren’t living with this in mind, appreciating the wonder, then we are asleep in life. We create a numbness to the world we live in.

I am to imagine a cup to see how full it is and this determines how awake I am today.

I had difficulty with this one today because I am sleepy tired. I tried meditating on it and fell asleep. So I decided to take a nap to refresh and kind of feel worse for it. Every time I saw this cup, I felt like I was forcing it to appear in my meditation. I tried at least 3 times.

From what I could see, I’d pick up the cup and drink from it, but just a sip. When I look down, it was then that I would see how full the cup is. The cup is always full to the point of when you like make a cup of tea. So more than 75% but not full to the brim.

This makes sense to me because I am trying to live with more patience, tolerance and understanding. I live for experience. Everything can be wonderful if we truly want to experience and make our lives enriched. I try not to miss out on opportunities and it’s a very different turn to whom I used to be. I want to say I tried everything I wanted to at least once and never look back with regret. I think when I really can manage my goals, I would imagine that cup to be overflowing.

Lesson 32: Being here now means...

“Lesson 32: Being here now means getting awake, and staying awake. It’s really easy to doze off in the routine of schedules, to dos, shoulds, fear, fantasy, addiction. If you’re really awake, life looks like a whole different animal.”

— Sara Wiseman

 Today I am to note how awake I am. I’m about 40% because I was adamant to see the Super Blue Blood Moon at 23:50 (when it was full), which I am sooooo glad I did. It’s something rare and beautiful, and I was willing to sacrifice sleep in order to have a glimpse.

So what will require me to be more awake? Maybe for work to be more interesting, so I stay engaged day to day. My job is a bit in limbo because there has been a restructure and there is no direction. Most days are boring and I am quite the person who appreciates structure.

I am to just simply ask to be more awake. I did a spell last night for me to have more concentration in general, so I can be more awake. For those that don’t know me, yes I’m a practising witch and light worker.  I sat at my desk to do a quick meditation and asked to be more alert and awake. As I closed my eyes I saw a hexagonal shape with a palm that had an eye in it. I feel like this is more intuitive clarity and my “awake” -ness is more spiritual than being awake for the day to day grind.

That’s pretty much all I’ve got for now. Maybe that’s all I needed.
