"It’s dark because you are trying too hard.

Lightly child, lightly.

Learn to do everything lightly.

Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.

Just lightly let things happen

and lightly cope with them.

I was so preposterously serious in those days…

Lightly, lightly –

it’s the best advice ever given me…

So throw away your baggage and go forward.

There are quicksands all about you,

sucking at your feet,

trying to suck you down into fear

and self-pity and despair.

That’s why you must walk so lightly.

Lightly my darling…"

 

-Aldous Huxley

I wanted to share this beautiful and soulful piece with you this week,

because I think it speaks so eloquently to these times

 

 

How often do you feel like this?

 

You put so much of your heart and soul into your work, 

your family- yet you feel something is a little off?

 

Are you BEing?

 

or

 

Are you DOing?

 

 I completely get it!

 

If you're like me, it's tough to maintain

peace and balance

while taking care of things clamoring

for attention.

 

Being overwhelmed by the outside world-

let alone all of the inner work it takes

to manage your energy is no easy feat.

 

Maybe if you could just get some rest, have some peace of mind,

or even just take a break?

 

All you want is to feel healthy, joyful or even back to feeling like yourself again.

 

 TRY THIS:

 

βœ”Stop and take some slow, deep breaths

 

βœ”Bring your awareness to the present moment

 

βœ”Allow yourself to focus on your heart center

(great technique to get out of your head)

 

βœ”Get outside and connect with mother earth

 πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜Ž

  

This weeks Journal prompts:

 

"What is currently draining your energy?"

"How can you shift your perspective on a current situation?"

"What does it feel like to be a human BEing (rather than DOing)?"

 

 βœ¨βœ¨βœ¨

 

Wishing you a magical week filled

with love, peace and joy!

 

love, cathie
