The Light Within

Nowadays we are all a bit obsessed with our mind, aren’t we?

How it works, what it does, what it doesn’t and how it often gets us into trouble.

We'd buy book after book, talk to others and even wonder if they too have an inner "talking machine" which never goes quiet.

As we try to figure it all out, we seldom remember something way bigger than our small selves.

We forget of the Intelligence behind Life.

Truth is, we are way up in our heads to recognize how connected we are to this wondrous power.

We continually miss the signs of how this energy is constantly moving through us and around us.

And so we lose our bearings, we get stressed and we grow hostile towards the world around.

Why do we fall so often?

It’s simply because we humans suffer from the so called “human condition”.

The Game of Life is nothing but a constant moving in and out of our default state of harmony and joy.

We continuously forget what we are really made of, only to remember moments later.

When we suddenly calm down and our mind is quieter, we are able to hear life whisper to us.

Why can’t we just be in a good space all the time?

I don’t know, actually.

No one does really.

It’s the great mystery of our life.

Perhaps it's the way our "spirit self" is meant to find its way back to the Infinite Light it came from.

Maybe human life only has sense when we grow and evolve, although that often happens through challenges.

What I do know, though, is that this Eternal Wisdom is always available to us.

There is nothing more for us to do than just be present as much as we can with whatever we’ve got, whether it’s tears or laughter.

I invite you to find a quiet spot during the day where you can sit and rekindle the connection with your own light.

As we are constantly being pulled by the outside world away from our own core, it becomes hard to even believe that our infinite source of wellness and joy is always within us.

We get distracted, we lose our way among millions of thoughts and sounds.

In silence and stillness it is much easier to sense the luminous vastness we are made of.

Don't take my word for it but do try it for yourself.

However you are feeling right now, go and be in peace, whether it's just for a moment or an hour.  Sit with whatever is arising within you, no matter how uncomfortable that might be.

Don't be in a rush to go back to your normal activities or to feel any different.

It may take your mind a little while before it can actually settle down.

Suddenly though you will sense a quiet flow moving through all those thoughts and emotions.

And the more you will drop your bundle, the quieter that movement will be.

The more your heart will open, the brighter you will be.

That is the Light within.

When you actively make space to reconnect to this exquisite "presence", then it does not matter what kind of day you'll be having!

You will just know that it has your back and and you'll learn to rely onto it and also start to share it with others.

Truth is, we all struggle and we all forget ourselves.

So the greatest gift you could ever offer another is to lend them your light when they have left their heart.

You'll lit them up with your presence.
