Coming back to nature and honouring the world as it is…
The world as it is can be many things, though I am talking of the very nature of life. I am not saying it isn’t very hard for a lot of people, like growing up in harsh environments for example. Though the world in truth, light and reality isn’t even what we want it to be. This is a natural world, it is a bright, interesting and real world. Life is spiritual and for many that is easily accepted.
If we want to feel life is at least ‘for us’, we have to place ourselves in a position of truth and power. That means processing and even working through past wounds, traumas, sufferings and disappointments we have felt along the way. It is always worth it, you are important. Otherwise where are we?
This is my first blog, and it is in hope and offering that this finds you well. And what is wellness, if we cannot embody an wholistic approach. Yes nature is whole, it is connected. If we wish to ask what to, to all in my mind. And what of mind? If we neglect the thoughts we unconsciously think, going round and around… So open, come into balance with a commitment to the call that knocks on the door every time you feel it. Have the courage to take a look, in awareness. What it seeks is – your wholeness. Your kindness, your care and your love.
For me, there has been many wounds. It is not that I would have wished for them but they have gifted me with a greater understanding of myself, life, nature and love. And I am determined. When I speak of life, I know it in its bleakness, in a depth you can’t speak of because its pain is somewhere else. Yet on another level, those are the times that move us. Shake us from the core of who we thought we were. Why shouldn’t it? We didn’t come here to paint a mask so tightly over our face, like a veneer that cracks at the very idea of life or change. We came here to be, simply.
If you are struggling with the way it is, and I use the word ‘world’ – because it is a mirror for us to see. What is it showing you? Maybe to express your love, maybe to seek support, maybe a change of direction is needed, or maybe you’re unsure. Perhaps it shows us one thing though if anything, ourselves. On what is happening within, so go to it. Seek it, study it if you have to. Because as we know, we see the world as we are and in turn this becomes our truth and way of experiencing life.
To live from the heart, and to live in harmony with ourselves requires us to face the challenges. To find the strength, resilience, grace and an intelligence of empathy- to go through as there are no corners. To dive deep, in a world that’s message is not even on a surface. Truly risk, and dare to break into the world because the world is in you. Your nature, of course is innate.
So honour yourself- because you were, are, and always will be. A treasure in and of this world, of value.
