Letting Go and Homeostasis
Imagine that you have your hands full, literally. There you are in your very busy life moving fast to keep it together and your hands are full holding tight on to everything that you have created. For the most part you like your life. And maybe you’d like to see just a few things be different, or perhaps you even wish something really big and important in your life was different than it is. Either way, you are so busy holding all of this together. Then sometimes in a stolen moment you might allow yourself to cast a wish out to the Universe - I wish that…And yet your life quickly jerks you back to its persistent reality that demands your attention to keep it all together.
What is Awakened Wisdom?
Wisdom is the ability, developed through experience, insight and reflection, to discern truth and exercise good judgment. Each of us holds our own wisdom, which we may or may not commonly use to guide our journey through life. Our wisdom may speak to us through intuition, or instincts – our inner voice - to which we may not be attuned or trust entirely. To awaken wisdom is to tune into and trust this inner voice, then bring it forward into our everyday lives: our wisdom becomes our individual common sense that governs our daily thoughts, decisions and actions.
What’s so tricky about waking up Wisdom?
Wisdom burrows deep. Hearing it isn’t always easy, as our minds crowd with our myriad responsibilities and the competing voices of our families, friends, and co-workers. We tend to set up barriers to our inner wisdom, because staying within barriers can sometimes feel much safer than moving out into unknown territory. The good news? Living a life guided by Awakening Wisdom actually feels EASY even if it is challenging. When you are flowing along with the rhythm of life, even though you may be running rapids or coasting along, you know all is well.
How will I know when I’m living an awakened life?
Originating from a place that exists deep within each of us, an awakened life is one in which you are living at the highest possible level of consciousness. This means being proactive in every aspect of your life, and being comfortable in the knowledge that you have actively chosen your life experiences.
Some evidence of an awakened life:
Your work:
- Your works doesn’t feel like work. Instead your job speaks to you from a life purpose point of view. There may be aspects of it you’d change, but mostly, you do it because it fulfills you.
- You are generous with your resources. You use your success and resources to improve the world around you.
Your relationships:
- Rather than complain about situations or people in your life you realize that you are at choice and can change the experience you are having.
- You respect that others may have different views from you and that that is okay.
Your everyday lifestyle:
- You live in the present moment and have developed a good relationship with your past experiences and your future dreams.
- You understand that you are essentially at choice for everything in your life and therefore a victim of nothing
- You understand that the shadowy aspects of yourself, such as anger and shame, are nothing to be afraid of. You integrate them into your wholeness and experience them in a responsible and balanced way.
- You have daily/weekly/monthly practices in your life that keep you healthy, centered and mindful and you walk the path of heart.
