Lesson 110: Everything That is Material...

There is one truth in this life – how far, wide, much we can open our hearts. We tend to distract ourselves with sometimes mindless things. This can range from social media, physical items, certain friends and addictions.  These are said to just be distractions from our true heart’s purpose. We’ve been through the first passage of pain and really built our compassion in the second passage. Do you find that you may still be dealing with pain and made good attempts to be more compassionate? The third passage is connection. Are you there yet? Doesn’t matter what your answer is because we are always at the right place when we’re meant to be.

For me, I don’t have pain to deal with, or rather I should say I have dealt with it. I am learning to be more compassionate because I want to be more understanding of others. We don’t know another’s struggles and therefore shouldn’t judge. We all definitely don’t have the same opinions, so we need to be more tolerant of each other. We also need to care more about others, once we’ve got to a good point ourselves. These are all the lessons I’ve learned so far in the compassion passage of the heart. I still think I got more compassion to learn, but I’m open to the next phase of connection.

I strive for more connection in the sense of having more substantial life progressing experiences. I want more people that I have a sense of community with. They may have the same causes and ideals as where I am at in life right now. So I have actively tried to find these people and asked the Universe for it. I stopped ignoring signs and took a chance at establishing friendships. They have not failed me so far. It’s hard to find people that are on my spiritual path and when I do find them, I have to savour that because I have a lot to learn from them also. You just never know how long the connection will be around for either, so don’t take for granted the time I have with these people. It’s from here that I want to expand to helping people once I think I’ve gained the knowledge to do that. I help people now in various ways but I one day want to make it on a grander scale. So in relation to this lesson, I think I am soooooo open to connection.

Lesson 110: Show Up

“Be loose.
Be liquid.
Be yourself.”

— Stephanie Bennett Vogt

Today is about dancing to a song, but with purpose. It can be in the confines of your home or if you’re game enough, do it outside. I sometimes dance when I’m walking to and from work without even realising. It’s fun and funny at the same time. Usually I sit and dance in my chair at work as I have background music on. So the task is to dance to one of your favourite songs and release something with your movements. Whether you have an object in mind, a thought or issue, just let it go through your dancing.

If I’m dancing at home, I’m usually just releasing the stresses and worries of the day. It’s so freeing and I feel better for it. Something always tells me that it’s going to be okay when I’m just flowing to the music. I put on Halsey’s Colors (the Australian in me wants to correct that spelling but I can’t!), I’m thinking about my busy weekend at a Sci fi Con and how tired I’m going to be. What I release is this worry and I’m filling my head with the thoughts of how much fun I will have, to enjoy myself, not judge others and go with the flow. I want to be amped up with energy and I can feed off all the excitement when I’m there.

What did you release today?
