Shifting . . .
I have had two DailyOm meditations sent in the past two days which seem to have special meaning for me at this point in time – call it synchronicity or just blind chance, it doesn’t matter. What matters is the fact that they have meaning to me and they came at a time when I could hear them, at a time when I could learn from them.
The first meditation:
“Simply going through the motions of life
puts us directly in the passenger seat
when we should really be
in the driver’s seat.”
(Daily Om, March 14, 2012)
The meditation hardly needs any explanation, probably needs no explanation at all. That said, I will just go onto the next meditation <smile> Seriously, it is a question we all have to ask ourselves. And now, the second meditation:
Sometimes the motivation to help others
may be an extension of a deep desire to heal
a wounded part of ourself.
(Daily Om, March 15, 2012)
I like this desiring to help others heal is an extension of one’s own work of healing. None of us exist in a vacuum. If one can’t treat others with respect, one cannot be respected. If one can’t treat oneself with respect then others will take this as an invitation unconsciously add to the wounding. Thinking . . .
