live compassion

In turbulent times, the question is often how we can deal with what arises within us. Sometimes we feel stressed, sometimes we feel happy, sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we float through the spheres of our emotions and feelings. In the last few weeks it could have seemed to us that this floating was more like a roller coaster ride. At the moment, however, it seems as if it is going to float again, even if some things are still having an effect and are still shaking. How can we now integrate what we have experienced and discovered and bring it into a vastness that enables us to live happily and freely?

A challenge here is that we use our ability to look at everything that appears to us and let it be as it is. We leave the emotions as they are. We do not enlarge or reduce them. We don't intentionally invoke them or suppress them just because it might not be "right" to feel that way. Our nature is to open our arms from our heart and unconditional love and embrace everything that is in our sphere. Yes, that sounds great, but how is it supposed to work?

When we came into this world, we were given a great gift that we can use precisely in these moments, challenging times, "crises", changes, questions, .... This gift is our compassion! Often we think of compassion for others when something bad happens, people feel bad or are sick. And yes, we can express all our sympathy here. But do we also ask ourselves that we can also show compassion for ourselves? We can, yes! We can feel everything that happens inside us. We are then allowed to let it be filled with our unconditional love and realize that whatever happens, our inner peace and joy is always there and cannot be disturbed!

A few days ago I was walking through our kitchen and I felt a sense of stress and pressure. At that moment I listened again to what this moment requires. And it was just that – compassion. Compassion for the stressed part of my personality. Compassion for the fear that goes with it. Yes, even compassion for the part that observes all this. It was a perspective that doesn't judge, that doesn't analyze and doesn't even forgive or do anything. No, it is simply BEING, in whose vastness and infinite love everything appears and is filled and transformed by this energy. Without doing anything! Isn't that wonderful?

So often we are caught in this "doing cycle". We want to question something, reflect, solve, heal, fill, transform, ... . We WANT TO DO it! Is that really what is needed in these moments? Possibly... But what happens when we just surrender everything to the game of life and love and all we have left to "do" is the Presence, to be there, to open a gateway for healing and to "with" what is there to feel" so that it can make its way to be resolved. Too simple? No! The universe may seem super complicated to our minds. Is it really? Isn't it very simple, because everything is intertwined and there is a simplicity, a flow that will lead us!? Why is it necessary to control everything, even our "spiritual development"? Doesn't it come exactly when it's supposed to be? Didn't we choose our path that way and can we just follow it with full attention and love and trust that everything will turn out as it should? Aren't we allowed to value everything and above all ourselves?

I invite you from the bottom of my heart to do a single "deed"! Open the doors of your emotions, your experiences and adventures, your heart and just empathize! Feel into it, perceive and see what comes out of it. Realize that you are love! Realize that the universe vibrates within you because you are with your loved one at heart (JapJi). You are unique! you are perfect If we allow this and allow it to work through us, our being can unfold!

I wish you a wonderful time, lots of love and compassion and a heart full of joy in everything that happens!
