People sometimes ask me why the
name of my radio show, blog and website is “Journey to Center.” What this
means is the desire and intention to relax and reside in the very center of
ourselves; the sacred space within. When we live from our center, we are
aligned with our soul. It is like abiding in the safe haven within the
eye of the storm. And though life still happens, and storms may still occur,
from our center we can witness chaos without being consumed or beaten up by
it. Center is the space of equanimity and clear connection to the Divine.
Have you ever had the experience
of being “in the flow” or “in the groove”? From this place life works
easily, you feel happy for no particular reason, you witness miracles, beauty
and synchronicity. You also naturally attract awesome people and
wonderful opportunities. If you can relate to any of this, in those
awesome moments, you were living from your center, and aligned with your soul
self. The hard part of being human is getting back to that space once we step
out of it!
This is exactly why I love to
have conversations with other seekers/finders of consciousness, why I meditate,
why I spend time in nature and why I paint mandalas. These are tools and
activities that support me in coming back to center. However, it often
seems the further removed we are from this place, the more we resist doing what
we need to do to get back to it! It can be so compelling or enticing to
go shopping, start eating, drinking, get on the phone, or watch some ridiculous
television program.
Yes, to live from center takes
discipline. Are you going to meditate today? Or are you going to distract
yourself from yourself and go shopping? It can be like getting physically
fit, are you going to the gym today? Or laze around and indulge in too
much food. Balance is key, but we need to spend 20 minutes in
meditation and 30 minutes in the gym to have the fruits of those labors
manifest. To get to one’s center is simple...but it is not always
easy. The ego and/or personality does not like it very much, for the ego
so enjoys indulgence and the illusion of control. But our soul-self loves
it!
I found once I committed to my
soul self, and let it take the lead, my life seemed to work more consistently
with more grace and ease; and with less drama and chaos. I find if
I take care of my relationship my soul, the rest of my life takes care of
itself.
So, what are some of the things
you do to come back to center, to find your groove and to take good care of
your Self? How do you find your balance and the sacred space of peace
within? I would love to hear from you and begin our conscious
conversation!
Also, listen to any of my
podcasts on Empower Radio with my amazing experts and share your thoughts!
Blessings of grace, ease and
sweet sanctuary!
