I took a little break and did some further exploration into the abyss of creative healing websites on the web. What a web, indeed! I’ve watched videos, read bios, taken classes, listened to seminars, clicked on, refreshed pages and Googled so many experts and techniques, its really quite ridiculous. Exhausting is more like the word. But I’ve found some sites worth visiting again and again for inspiration and guidance. I’ll share them in future entries I post. I’ve added a few new blogs to my list below as well.
Before I took my “break,” I posted an entry about being rooted in a spiritual way because I was becoming aware of just how confusing this exploration process can be. It is overwhelming if you don’t have something to root you while you’re searching. Going out there into cyber space looking for purpose, depth, healing but not having a road map will most likely get you more lost and inundated. No matter where you are in the process, going at it without much direction or foundation could lead to muddy, even turbulent waters.
I just wanted to take this time to encourage everyone who is on a path to finding truth, restoration, love, forgiveness, joy, fulfillment or some other intangible ingredient necessary for becoming a more whole person, to take their time.
Take time with yourself in a quiet place where you can reflect on what you’ve seen or read. Turn the screen off and allow some time to simply "be."
Take notes. Document your lessons, thoughts, inspirations as they may not always make sense in the moment but 9 times out of 10 they hold much wisdom for the future.
Be curious. When you find something that resonates with your soul, it fits into your journey, continue to go through those doors that automatically open up to you. And finally,
Commit. Once you’ve found that “thing” that expresses your soul, that connects your mind and body, you have to remember that it will take practice to make it your own.
Nothing comes overnight although that is the illusion of the internet. Everything is so accessible and fast that we may find ourselves bopping around from thing-to-thing trying a little bit of this and a little bit of that. It feels like you’re covering a lot of ground in your searchings. There’s nothing wrong with exploring and experimenting. That is, until you’ve lost your way completely. Then, the journey becomes a self sabotage mission that could destroy your spirit.
My grandfather’s most famous quote was “A rolling stone collects no moss.” Remember that even though you are on a journey, you do have to take a break to rest and allow for lessons, insights, wisdom to take root. Once your plant has done so, it can then bear fruit and give you spiritual food to feast on until you are full. Then you can be ready, strong enough to continue walking on that path toward your complete and true self.
Peace
