⚠️ My Inner World is currently under construction. We apologize for the inconvenience. We cannot process orders at this time.
Every moment in time, we have the opportunity to create anew. This moment however can be obscured by an array of thoughts and feelings that can block our vision. The present moment is often covered by old memories and limited ideas. When this occurs, we lose our energy and opportunity by feeling lost, fearful and confused. Have you ever noticed how heavy a thought can be? Just the mere idea of a certain task or responsibility can suck the life right out of us. How do we stay in present time so that we are free and conscious? Is there a formula that brings us into balance? How do we refresh our spirit and our point of view?
Our point of view directs our life. It influences our thoughts, feelings, attitudes and actions. When we shift our point of view, our perception changes and so do our lives. We are able to move in an entirely different direction. Where is your point of view taking you? Does it serve your ultimate intention?
Have you ever felt a vague sense of unease? Your heart begins to feel heavy and anxious. You can sense that you are being moved off your center into an unsafe place. Sometimes our fears are big and loud and sometimes they hide just below our awareness. It can feel as if there is a tunnel of water moving quietly beneath the surface. This type of feeling is unsettling as though we are a child about to get in trouble. We may not be able to put our finger on what the fear actually is but it surrounds us as a free floating anxiety. It zaps our energy and can make us feel week and frightened. These hidden fears are hot spots in our psyche. What can we do when this occurs? How do we remove them from our memory and heal the wound?
It is easy to forget that our greatest point of power is in the present moment. When life feels overwhelming and it seems like we can never catch up, it is imperative that we bring ourselves back to the here and now. It is in this very moment, right now, that we have access to our greatest power and our ultimate potential.
As we grow older, if we are not careful we can lose our way to what is special and meaningful in our lives. It is our childhood dreams that have a way of pointing us in the right direction. Many of us have lost our way. Just as children in a storybook may need to leave a trail to find their way back home, we too need a way to retrieve the dynamic parts of ourselves.
When a natural disaster occurs and the earth quakes, we are immediately reminded of both our instability and our interconnectedness. It is interesting to note how often we fail to recognize our connection to each other and to the earth until an event or crisis brings us together. Our minds have been trained to focus on what we can see. The problem is that our physical eyes and our perceptions are often limited or flawed. We only see what we can recognize. So if something is going on abroad or in the water or in the air, we may not realize that it is happening to us as well. Many of us treat our bodies and our inner worlds the same way. We assume that the inside is not really as important as the outside until a disease or an eruption occurs.
Many of us have had the experience of feeling separate from the rest of the world, when all of a sudden we are on the outside looking in. These are moments in time when we are with a group of people and although we are there physically, we experience an overall sense of separateness and isolation. What is it that catapults us out of the circle into a separate energy current? Are we meant to promptly rejoin the circle or is there a reason for us to be alone and with ourselves?
Many of us were brought up to believe that if we do well in school, pick a job or career and follow it with determination, our life will be somewhat safe and secure. Of course we knew that we still had to deal with many of life's challenges but taking this course seemed to go a long way toward making us feel grounded and normal. Most of us can see that picture of reality is no longer in play.
Do you have a bully in your brain telling you what to do? Do you find that there is a taskmaster inside of your head that is constantly driving you to accomplish more and more? Do you feel beat up? Does this bully move your attention toward a sense of lack and unease? Does the focus move you toward worry, doubt and fear? Is the emphasis on what has not been done yet instead of what has been completed? Who is this bully and how did it get inside our heads?
