Are you in that place I am now? Is your plate full too? Is it over-flowing? Are the words, “I am so busy” or “how am I going to do all of this?” coming out of your mouth?
Today on the podcast we are exploring how mindfulness helps when we are juggling what feel like too many obligations and activities. It’s the time of year. Everything is in full swing. Work, school, family, and the holidays are appearing on the horizon. My plate is full and over-flowing and maybe yours is too.
So, in the podcast I take you through a practice that allows you to shift out of the worry-mind and into the empty mind—that awareness that holds all of it but isn’t involved in the content and rests simply in the context. The benefit of this practice is that it opens you to your healing place, to your place of freedom, and to your inner embodied knowing that doesn’t require thinking. Before beginning the practice I was worried and anxious about what was on and falling off my plate; by the end everything was still there overflowing but my relationship to it had changed and I felt at peace with it all.
Want to do the practice? Contact me here and I’ll send you the practice that I do in the podcast today.
Do this, “Don’t worry about it. Do it. Rest in spaciousness and the knowing will spring forward.” I am grateful for this time and space with you sharing with you what I am directly experiencing so that it can be a lamplight for your experience.
This week, I invite you to rest in spacious awareness and see what happens. And, Contact me for the practice.
