Am I in the experience or am I in my thoughts about my experience?

Our thoughts are not reality, they are just thoughts. They differ from person to person and hold no innate stability.
Thoughts so easily create a kind of film over reality, which often separates us from truth, from ourselves and our sense of connectedness with life.

Becoming aware of what is our mind; thoughts formed into a way of seeing and believing,
and what is grounded in truth; reality, senses, presence and right view beyond mind, is the quintessential process of spiritual awakening.

The more we resist something, the more power we give it.

What we give our attention to is getting all the attention. What we focus on becomes the focus.
Are we giving attention to what we want or what we don’t want?
Are we focusing on our fear or on our growth?

I for one know it’s oftentimes really hard being human. It’s challenging and tiring and at times heartbreaking.
But we always have kindness. We can always bring kindness and goodness of being alongside all we know.
Life is beautiful because of this.

Guided meditation.

Live guided crystal singing bowl meditation was held on Instagram @ratnadyer this evening. Available there for replay.
Setting an intention for Matariki. What do you want to step into within yourself? What quality do you want to embody?
Practice bringing compassion all around

ourselves and being present in the space.

The core of all things is love and goodness.

Sometimes we have a fear that if people really knew what we were like, they would see we aren’t loveable.

The opposite is true. At our core is always worth and deservingness and goodness.

Yes we often have behaviours or thoughts that aren’t attractive or wanted, however these are not who we are are the core. They are things we go through and cope with.

Know your true heart, your essential being. You are deeply loveable and worthy of understanding and compassion.

Learn to discern what is not you, what patterns protect and pretend. Peel away the untruth into the love of honesty.
