In my previous post, I mentioned how as I became quieter, I was able to listen more...to the subtle messages of my body.
Our bodies are always speaking to us. First the messages are subtle. But, the outside noise is too loud and we can't hear anything. Then the messages become louder but we still can't hear. The outside world and all its noise in the form of shoulds and coulds, constant comparisons, fear of judgments or ostracism, and chasing accomplishments or aesthetics to fill a deeper void prevents us from tuning into our inner worlds. No wonder, no outside fix can ever fill the void within. The next best thing is new only for a while until its charm fades off and we are on to chasing something else to continue to feel desirable or successful or accomplished..aka chasing temporary satisfaction to get a false sense of safely and security and worthiness.
Hate to break it to you..if you want forever peace, it is within you, within reach, at all times. You just need to become still. Become still, stop all movement.
I like to use the analogy of horses, reins and a charioteer.
Our mind is the 🐎. Without reins, they have no sense of direction and everything is chaotic. You are the charioteer. When the reins are held, horses behave. Similarly, our mind needs something to hold on to.
Breath.
Focus on the breath while sitting still and notice how the mind behaves itself, becomes quiet and suddenly, you have no chaos. Everything is peaceful. You feel your body from the inside and feel it's aliveness from within. You tune into your body's energetic systems. What a miracle to experience that 💫
Sustain this practice frequently throughout the day and notice the ripple effect in all areas of your life and your relationships.
Our body needs our attention. It is not a machine that is being abused day in and day out to fulfil all our egoistic desires and goals. It will do everything we want but only if nurtured and given the right dose of "quality" sleep, "quality" nutrition, "quality" hydration, sunlight, "quality" movement, and mindful presence.
✨️Become still and notice the wonders of your amazing body. Love it, speak kindly to it, and take care of it ✨️
