Summer in the City
A numerology for the month of July speaks of changes and that the month will challenge us to find our harmony. He will ask us to "exalt" ourselves. Not to rise above something, but to become/be aware of ourselves and our very own beauty. We can ask ourselves where we are not and were not aligned with ourselves and our "purpose of being here" in order to then allow a change. Once again, maybe a thought will come up now... Hasn't it been like this all year? 😉 Isn't that just life? 😉 Maybe it's not quite clear to us yet... It may mean that we go into ourselves, slow down and really perceive the space of our hearts.
A few days ago I was sitting in the "Wäldle" in St. Georgen, which is a wonderful little forest that opens up many magical places if you look closely. In a moment I was filled with a deep contentment with what is and how it is. No wishes, no intentions, no goals, no plans, just be. And feel gratitude for what has already been given to us. Funnily enough, on July 1st I found this saying in the new calendar page of the "Joy of Life Calendar": "Satisfaction does not come as a ready meal. You can only prepare it anew every day.” I found that very exciting, how the universe keeps coming together. But not enough. This morning I opened the Yogi Tea for the morning green chai and lo and behold: "Happiness is contentment"! First I had to laugh heartily.
In parts, satisfaction is a human feeling about our situation, life, one's own spiritual path, emotions and and and. And at the same time satisfaction as well as dissatisfaction. In other parts, however, a deeper "peace" (as Zu-Frieden-Heit suggests) behind the division into dissatisfaction and contentment, which is embedded in our natural existence. No one but us humans is in "disturbance" on this planet. Ever seen a dissatisfied tree? 😉 Maybe not everything is perfect and "we" want changes. We strive for "higher things" and yet we keep forgetting the peace that is already there and the discord within us that we are allowed to accept. Deep emotions, wounds, events, body feelings. We don't always leave them as they are, but dig around in them, just shoveling from side to side without even realizing it. The job is there. But we don't get any lower because we're actually running away from it. We don't let ourselves fall into what is there. No, we want to keep security and control even over this. Our process, our way of life, our emotions, … . Just how "I" want it. And that also applies to our joy, our happiness, our prosperity and everything that we call “positive emotions/feelings”. However, this evaluation (very often) stems from our personality and not from what we really are and what may be for us. We limit life and US.
Often in these moments we talk about "what my soul wants". Is that so? But who is behind "mine"? The mind, the ego, the inner child, the spiritual ego maybe? If we are the soul then it would look different and we don't need to say that. Provocative, not even what we want because we know that everything will come, we are taken care of and life has what we need in store for us. You might open the newspaper tomorrow, go to the toilet, take a shower... and the answer is there! Quite simply: because we as ME are also the wisdom that trusts the course of life and shows itself when we can rest quietly within ourselves. In this moment our own perfection is revealed. Everything is always perfect. We can recognize it, love it, live it, accept it and be one. And be at peace. Be satisfied.
This does not mean that there are no changes in life. Everything can change in a second. In a tiny moment. However, we do not “force”, force or negate the emotions and the change. We let them be as they are. And rest in our deep inner peace that we are. And make peace! We make peace with our emotions, pain, our body, our "deficiencies", our lack, our fears, our environment, the people, the arguments, ... . And then see what can unfold.
Yes, it takes courage to reach out and a lot of trust to do it and then just let it flow. So much is said and written about it. We often overestimate our "power" over the river. Most of the time, however, this happens simply out of a desire for control. Because our mind doesn't like "unpredictability". Not again! 🙂 He wants to do something, think, plan, reflect, achieve, analyze, change, "understand". "Understanding" sounds like "not standing firm, but somehow off the mark". It actually fits quite well, doesn't it?! 😀 Hahaha… We are welcome to try what happens when we open our arms and allow our peaceful and contented nature to fill us. Receive that in your heart. There we stand! All energies meet there! There is our love! Our home!
With much love,
Nam Terath Singh
