Big Peace December Day 28
Sorry for the late post today. I'm in Cornwall with my best mate. And we've been walking with the kids on the beach and getting cut off by the tide (always need that bit of adrenaline in my life, obviously!)
I've just read back on my last two posts and it brings up that push/pull dynamic that I feel that as I leap deeper into my Big Peace.
The push is the leap (the being brave piece, the leap into the unknown, the living from a different paradigm - for me this means living listening to my inner coach versus tuning into my inner pessimist radio) and then the pull is the 'growing slowly' piece. Which is the adjusting, the allowing for this new way of living to become just the way you live your life.
And accepting that the push and the pull are part of the journey. Leaping and 'growing slowly' are equally valid. I suppose it's that old yin and yang thing.
The 'growing slowly' piece for me is about making The Big Peace a daily practice. It' s the habit of meditating or dog walking or doing what gets us back to that place more quickly.
Over the last 2 years, I've put so much of my focus on 'finding' my Big Peace only to find that just like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, all I've had to do is click my heels together and I'm 'home'. But the 'somewhere over the rainbow' living is very seductive and I still find myself in thrall of the Wizard of Oz or the Wicked Witch of the West (or so my ex says!) and want to believe there is someone or something external to me that will make me happy.
A somewhat beginner on the journey, I need to make The Big Peace a daily practice (or minute by minute sometimes) just so I can remember and remind myself that I've got my red shoes on and I'm a click away.
Oh but I do like a bit of variety!!! Hence all the tools I try and all the gurus I interview. I'm discovering there are lots of ways to leap back into your centre, your Big Peace, when you fall under the spell of the wicked witch ("I'll get you my pretty and your little dog too!!!") and I am so scared, I can scarcely breathe. Some have worked better than others for me. But we are all different.
So homework today....what practices have you experimented with over the past 30 days (life time) that really work for you? When the wicked witch in your head starts screaming at you, what gets Glinda by your side and those fabulous red shoes on your feet the quickest?
What works for you and how can you practise this daily?
