Under the watchful eyes of the Universal Intelligence, that always exists, there is little to worry about on a day-to-day basis. Save your worry for something big and bold, for something that no one can solve. In the meantime, keep the beauty and the groundedness of being human alive in everything you do. Keep your own two feet on the ground and your heart in the right place, focused on love and kindness for all beings, those you trust and those you don’t trust. For is it not better to err on the side of love and kindness than to live in distrust?
Get grounded as you start your day, in whatever practice works for you. It might be as simple as starting the day with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea and taking a moment to be grateful for the day ahead. It might be a practice of tai chi or yoga, or a walk or run in the park. It might be simply sitting in the morning quiet, taking in the first light of the sun and letting its healing calmness seep into you. However you choose to start your day, do take a moment or two to get grounded in physical body, in calm mind, and in heart-centered spirit. It will certainly help you as you go into your day and face the challenges of being in human form. Keep that human form in tiptop shape, within and without, and keep each day sacred in some special way.
Stay grounded and certain of your own abilities and those of the people closest to you. We advise, as always, that a heart-centered focus and purpose are the greatest ones to adopt. In times of great change, those who are level-headed and heart-centered survive with flying colors. Optimists never have any regrets.
Give thanks for the everyday gifts you are given, for the first glimpse of the rising sun, for the song of the birds, for the baby’s cry, for the earth beneath your feet and for the scent of autumn leaves in the air. Staying grounded in nature is one of the best healing medicines there is. Just walking barefoot in the grass or crunching over some fallen leaves will bring you back to your senses, literally and figuratively. Letting the sun fall upon your shoulders, feeling its warmth is a sure way to reconnect with the loving hand of Mother Nature and all her bounty. No matter where you live, if you look up at any time of day or night you can connect with nature in the heavens above, no matter what lies at your feet. Give thanks for the opportunity to witness and experience the glories of the natural world all around you.
It’s been a week! Give yourself a pat on the back for getting through it, for staying grounded and focused, for staying heart-centered and balanced, in spite of the whirlwinds of change all around you. The Earth itself has a lot to say, a lot to teach, and a lot to offer for the future. Stay always connected to the Earth, as the Mother, the Teacher, the Wise One. She always has something new to teach. Find your personal connection to her, your special place upon her where you can allow your warrior self to take a step back and relax, where your mind grows calm and your body feels alive and healthy. Find your secret spot. And remember, if you can’t always be there in person you can be there in your mind. Envision your secret spot so thoroughly that you are there at any moment of any day when you most need to be there. Your secret spot can be a real place or a totally imagined place of peace and beauty of your own construction. Use your creativity to mold this secret spot in your mind’s eye. It is your sanctuary in the midst of whirlwinds. It is your secret healing spot for you alone to retreat to when needed. It is your own heart-centered creation. Whether it exists in reality or has been created by your heart’s desire, it is yours.
