What a range of emotions this week! From all out rage, anger, frustration, depression, hopeless to hopeful!
It is moments like last week that it’s important to connect with your Higher Self. After I went through my human feelings and emotions, I sat quietly. Listening and being curious. What is this all about? How do I make sense of this?
Working with a client last week, I set a timer for two minutes, and we sat in silence. Each one having their own silent experience. What we each found were ways to come back to ourselves. To pay attention to what is around us, to tune into what our body is communicating to us. It was not an exercise in quieting the mind, the mind was able to continue to have thoughts. What I found interesting is that I could guide my thoughts to an awareness that had been missing.
One morning, I set the timer for two minutes and sat, listening. I heard the refrigerator hum, the traffic on the Interstate and then I paid attention to my body. What was tense, what was calm, noticing the tense shoulders and asking myself, what if I drop what I’m holding on my shoulders? Instant relief. The two minutes went by very fast.
I have now decided to continue this practice of setting a timer and being quiet. Letting my mind wander and yet also guiding it. Sometimes I will set the timer for six minutes, and sometimes two minutes. I would encourage you to try it. Explore what happens to you. Get curious, what if I try this a variety of different times of the day, what if I pay attention to the sounds and sensations that are happening around me? What if I begin to notice there is so much more depth to my experience than what is being shared through the constant barrage of social media?
Would it be helpful for you to book a session and explore with me other options? I’ve got time, and session availability. Let’s connect, soon.
