The art of letting go

Always I wait to write a blog till an inspiration will come. I was wondering what I am going to write about this month. And here it is.

Few days ago I was very much involved emotionally in helping and supporting my friend to get a job which fits exactly what she loves to do. The goal was on the horizon, visible, you could almost touch it …

I had a very vivid image in my mind of her achieving that goal and having a job which will bring her a satisfaction. I was so sure that this was an ideal match, I could feel it. Her goal and that job. In a short time some big obstacles showed up and my friend felt that there was no other way, but to change the course of her journey for now; to put everything about that goal aside, for later …

I tried to suggest different options, solutions, thinking out of the box, and wanting badly for her to succeed. I just couldn’t understand why she decided to not pursue that goal; especially that she was far on her way to achieve it. Almost there …

At first, I didn’t see it, as nobody can see the whole picture better than the person whose that journey is. I meditated on it and suddenly it hit me. There is nothing wrong with her decision. It is me who has to “let it go”. It was my vision, not hers and it was me who felt that timing was good, not her. I could almost hear: “Let it go”.

I am thankful for that lesson. We go through our life believing that what we see is a reality, but the truth is that it is our reality, not somebody else. By learning the art of letting go, we accept that there can be other way, other path to choose, in our or somebody’s journey.

One day, weather started to change and when I walked out of the building I saw an amazing artwork in the sky – grey clouds darker and lighter painted with bold strokes. They were just hanging out there. It looked like a giant artist decided that the sky will be a great canvas Continue reading →

Are you connected with nature?

Summer is almost coming to an end. You can hear it in different sounds of insects, the smell of the air, and colour of the sky.Racoon Rose Garden

Almost every Saturday starting May 23rd we have a guided meditation in the park and I am planning to keep it that way till the cold weather will prevent us from doing it. The name of this meditation is ‘Connect with Mother Nature’. It was started by me on a spur of a moment. A flash of an idea and immediate decision. Continue reading →

Connecting with Mother Nature

We are running faster and faster to gather more and more material goods. Stuff – newer gadgets, faster electronics, cars, houses, you name it. We exercise, eat healthy, drink clean water, even meditate to achieve better health, but there is something missing in the equation. Something very important. Continue reading →

When we look around, the concept of balance is everywhere.

In fact it drives the Universe. Life on Earth depends on a very precisely balanced distance of our planet from the Sun. The water cycle on Earth is another example of balance necessary for life to exist. The well-being of all species, including humans, depends on a delicate balance in our natural environment.

What about our inner environment?

There is a well known rule that what happens in macrocosms can also be found in microcosms.  If the imbalance in our outer environment can be unhealthy for us, then how can we ignore the same occurrence in our inner one? Continue reading →
