Modern society concerns itself with externality, image, speed and change. Intuitive wisdom leads us to seek refined values. Real beauty shows itself as a light that comes from the soul. That light may seem elusive because we are seldom in the here and now.
Are you a prisoner of your past? Are you haunted by your future? If you are often anxious and worried, these captured states of mind may be the culprit.
Stillness is vital to the world of the soul. By quieting your mind and letting go of keeping your life at arms length, fragments of your life where your soul health is wounded, or broken, have time to heal.
You will be able to return to yourself by stepping back and beholding your present reality with the sense of wonder and appreciation that it deserves. This is a time to release any false burdens that you have dragged behind you as a way to retain a consistent sense of knowing who you are.
Eventually what you call the negative side of yourself can become the greatest force for renewal, creativity and growth within you. It is a wise person who knows where their negativity lies and yet does not become addicted to it.
When you make a firm commitment to let go of lusting after perfection, you naturally start the process of coming home to your authentic self. You ease into the process of living, instead of treating yourself like a never-ending fix-it project. You embrace your life as a reality to be experienced, rather than as a problem to be solved.
Courting your soul-light is as easy as managing the flow of electricity or light in your home. It is stressful and frustrating to have inadequate lighting in your living space. It is also wasteful to keep all of your lights on in every room, day and night, because of a misguided notion that if you turn them off, you will never be able to get them to turn back on.
Consider all the ways that you can enhance your experience by upgrading your soul-light. Is the voltage that is consistently running through your nervous system too high? You might want to consider a dimmer switch that will allow you to easily and effortlessly change your mood from harsh and relentless to soft and soothing. Instead of a burglar alert spotlight, install a warm and welcoming porch light instead.
Use your imagination to make the necessary adjustments to your personal light so that you increasingly become more comfortable and at ease.
Let your intuitive wisdom assist you to turn the harsh light of self-judgment into a spotlight of expanded creativity and self-expression.
