Golden moments

Even when there are a thousand things to do, cherish these unrushed moments. Make room in your heart for them. There will be many mountains to climb, but always make time to find the pastures where you can rest.

To heal you must remember who you really are. Then no matter what happens to you, you can rely on this innate courage, you can trust your own wise heart because nothing and no one can take them from you. 🦋🌱✨

I've made the decision to become more involved (virtually) with Grateful Living - an organisation I've been following for some time. They have an online forum where the community can join to appreciate and show gratefulness for many aspects of life and I want to embed my practice further.
One of the short films I spotted is this one, which I thought I'd share.

In this short Green Renaissance film, Vicki Thomas shares an invitation to look closely and be moved by the awe of the natural world.

This is free and the teachers are highly respected- I’ve signed up to enjoy it and wanted to share more widely 💜

THERE IS MORE FOR YOU

There is more for you
than what never showed up.
More than what never came to be.
More than what couldn’t transpire
or find a way to work out,
and it looks like healing
and shaped like possibility.
Let down by family or parents,
past dreams and expectations.
Put off by relationships,
romances, careers and ideations.
There’s another path to explore
and alternate routes to travel.
There’s a tribe meant to welcome,
with encouragements to fuel you.
There are hearts that want to hold you,
and kindnesses that long to see you through.
There are other ways to meet with love,
as kinships waiting in the wings.
There are fresh fields to run in
and warm pools to swim.
Hold on bright child,
there is more than
what never appeared...
❤️

You are not your feelings.
You just experience them.
Anger, sadness, hate, depression, fear.
This is the rain you walk in.
But you don’t become the rain.
You know the rain will pass.
You walk on
And you remember the soft glow of the sun that will come again ..

I've started a new dietary regime to improve my gut health, which I'm keen to do, both to set me up well for the year to come and to redress some of the damage that has been caused over my lifetime. I find at this time of the year, as we are being encouraged to feast, to dine out, and to eat in excess, that these Five Contemplations are so helpful, encouraging us to eat mindfully and with respect 🍂🧡🍂

"When we eat a meal, there are two objects of our mindfulness: the food and the people who are there with us during the meal. Practicing in this way we are sure to find better ways of consuming food without exploiting our Earth and other living beings. Before eating a meal you can read, either aloud or to yourself, the Five Contemplations. Of course we don’t just read the Contemplations but we meditate on the words throughout the meal."
