My Healing Journey…

Where has January gone…. for that matter where did 2021 go? Time marches forward seemingly faster every year I think! This month I have been able to work more deeply on grieving the multitude of losses 2021 brought to me.

Grief work is just that…work.

It takes time and energy and we have to be ready to accept all that comes up and out doing the work.

All this is part of my healing journey…body, mind and spirit.

My body is growing stronger thankfully allowing for me to do other work necessary to heal and move forward.

My meditation time today took me to a place of peace and acceptance.

As I focused my thoughts on inhaling: “Everything Is”, and exhaling:” As It Should Be” tears came to my eyes as they did way back some 20 plus years ago when I first learned and practiced this powerful meditation. I felt myself let go…clearly, I’ve been holding in so very much. It was a significant moment for me today and back years ago as well…I shan’t forget either.

I’ve been most fortunate to get what I need when I need it in my life and for that I am most grateful.

It’s not always what I want mind you but what I need…hence the reality check that “everything is as it should be” has been and continues to be a very powerful tool and reminder for me…peace comes through acceptance.

I can’t change what is in this moment or what has been. Rather through acceptance clarity allows me to make choices in the moments yet to come.

So today I hope to carry forth with willing hands, an open heart and gratitude for all Mother Earth has given to me! I wish this for you as well!

What are some things in your life’s journey that need healing and acceptance?

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step...
