I Am Secure!
So Adriene said that this mantra could bring up a lot of resistance and it did. But I found more ease in allowing the resistance to flow and breathing into the areas of strain and discomfort that those words conjured up. This practice made me examine how I can find grace and balance in times when I am thrown off kilter. It made me ask myself 'how can I surf the waves and currents that I can either allow to disrupt the flow of my life or cleanse away my soul's impurities?' I'm examining that as I am working my way through Mercury Retrograde. It feels totally possible to go with the tide of this planetary pull and let it take me to somewhere safe and help me learn along the way of the journey. Can I view delays on public transportations and in scheduling as an opportunity to go inward and grab extra time to do chakra meditation or clarify details that I need to handle for the day? Can canceled plans with friends or lovers be a chance to get to know myself? If I get sick, could maybe that time be used to recharge and heal my body? Or if communications cause upsets, arguments, or disagreements, could I examine my reactions and take the time to learn the lessons that the experience is trying to teach me? Can I have the patience to improve myself and become better one day at a time? In this frame of mind can I find security even in times of unrest and strife? I feel as if I can start to learn how to do that. I feel a lot stronger in the face of adversity.
