Happy Mother's Day

This is a song my mother taught me to sing when I was a little girl. It brings back such happy memories of my childhood. I kept thinking of her all day today on this mother's day.  I also remembered my sister who left us a year and a half ago.

I struggled today to keep my emotions under control as I felt overwhelmed by the uncertainty of life. This morning my daughter fell and I was partly responsible for her mishap. I felt so guilty about the whole incident  and then my son commented how easily I am hijacked by my emotions.......and yes, I recognized  that my emotions had taken over so much that I found it difficult to stop the tears from flowing.

Thankfully, we went for a drive to a garden/retreat centre and was able to shake off the sadness that was hovering over me. I am feeling more centred now and am hoping that my awareness of my emotions continues to grow each day.

This is a mother's day I won't forget in a long time.

Hope you all had a memorable day however you celebrated the day.


peace,

Be emotionally wise

" Emotions are powerful streams of energy generated in our consciousness. We need to understand them; we need to use them appropriately and we need to use them wisely on our journey to freedom and true well-being.  Our spiritual Consciousness gives us a heightened awareness, and this heightened awareness on the spiritual path is an invitation to see more in the consciousness. Not just thoughts but also emotions." Day 33 

The most powerful companion for love is when the brow chakra opens up. Then it is able to support love in a very powerful way. It is therefore important that head and heart work together, that there be a balance in wisdom and passion on the journey. Otherwise we will never be able to explore the fullness of the heart which allows us to love in greater measure, and to move from selfish loving to selfless loving.  

Therefore we need to be aware of every emotion that passes our consciousness.This is described as having emotional intelligence: to be appropriate in terms of our emotional posture to bring out the best in our relationships, even if it is a relationship with our own physical body.

I have been working to develop a more loving relationship with my physical body, to actively care for it by giving it the right diet, rest and some exercise,which I know needs a great deal of improvement. I also try to  nurture the body with healing meditations and to cultivate an attitude of  reverence towards it as the temple for my soul. I therefore appreciate the importance of head and heart working well together to energize and create well-being in the body. 

Be emotionally wise! Stay spiritually connected to the source of all love – your spiritual being.

peace,

Can I really do this?

 

 

Thanks for all the emails and encouraging comments about the first post. Having started a blog, I realize that there is much I need to  understand and learn about  settings, design, comments...... so for those  who had trouble posting a comment, it should be easier to do so now. It's a good thing that Renee has much more experience and so can point me in the right direction. 

 

That being said, I also realize that I have taken on a commitment and that's a bit scary! I did not write anything yesterday and kept thinking about it.  The last thing I need right now is any kind of stress. Yet, as I sit now before the computer, I am excited to share a few words, so what does this mean? Is it okay to be scared and excited at the same time?

 

Maybe it is, just like in a movie.....life is an adventure,and any moment can be filled with mixed emotions. The challenge is to not to be carried away by the emotions, but to become the master of them  ......a lesson that I am learning all the time. That's what I want...."to be master of myself,and servant to the world" ...and I want it to be more than just repeating some words,inspired by someone else, I want it to be real for me.

 

So in the same way if I want this blog to continue, I have to commit to writing  regularly,then perhaps, I need to commit to a discipline that will help me to become "master of myself ". ....hmmm, I can see where this is leading. The Universe is very sneaky, eavesdropping on your conversations, and subtly making suggestions.

 

That's a lot to think about.....commitment and discipline....can I really do this?

 

Yes,of course, I can do it!  

 

so look out for another post tomorrow,  who knows where this conversation is going!

have a fantastic day!
