Training the mind helps tame the monkey mind. Creates space for curiosity and compassion for what's really here in this present moment.
How do you change or make grounded choices,
without slowing down and grounding inner mind chatter, outer noise?

Curious Georgette 🐒💀 @heartisthecompass.bsky.social · 6h

What the Dalai Lama says here - absolutely agreed!
We can't harness better with our minds, until we begin to slow down in the practice, of harnessing heart and mind.
In my own experience, intentional stopping 🛑 then engaging with slow deep grounding, is the best practice really to wake up to Energy.

So many things to know gratitude for. Every day, yeah, whatever sized gift the day brings you.
And never assume that a dark one has no value.

Speak Love, clearly, often.
Our fluency awaits us.

You know, it's often not until we decide to speak it that we find out that it isn't an easy language.

Love is indeed all the Beauty we need, and, it also breaks apart the illusions within that bind it.
Reconstruction follows deconstruction.

Guyon teaches that surrender carries us further than striving.

Aaauugh nausea is the WORST! Hate it. End up having to do this slow deep breathing till the fucker passes.
Nearly pass out from doing it so long, but it works for me 🤷🏼

Much later I would read Klee Benally's book No Spiritual Surrender and encountered the idea of "hostile spaces" as a counterpoint to "safe spaces." These are spaces that are safe because they are hostile to oppressive ideologies, an us that excludes the violent others who mean us harm.

Us but not you. A we that creates safe spaces by excluding the oppressive others.

Albertans are very familiar with sabotage from our provincial government - see the restrictions on renewable energy.

We cannot be content to let Canada continue to be manipulated by foreign oil & gas oligarchs, and their mouth piece Smith.

A LOT of new stuff came down the pipeline. The kinds of things that you hope never would, are here, for reckoning.

Overwhelm is a human state we enter from time to time.

A little compassion for both the times of overwhelm and the times of the rising out from it, helps facilitate needed shifts.
