What About Sanity?
Posted On 01/19/2010 22:26:36 by divinehealinggarden

I don't know about you, but when I start letting my thoughts and feelings take over and run my actions and reactions to any aspect of life, I am done with sanity.

My energy becomes depressed, my heart feels heavy and I get lost in the morass of whatever my mind or emotional body is busy creating. Then I lose the footing on the path that I had worked so hard to maintain.

As you know any spiritual path we choose to be on, whether it be religious or esoteric, will definitely point us in another direction. Phrases like the Holy Spirit, Spirit, Soul, Guides, Angels, The God Within, The Christ Within, Christ Consciousness, The Higher Self, and many more, all dictate that we are not here to listen to what our thinking everyday minds tell us.

As soon as I start questioning another person's actions or feelings toward me, I know I am slipping and if I don't stop myself, key in, focus, meditate, contemplate, something that lifts me out of that old habit, I will be on my way to falling into that literal abyss.

Ask yourself if you do the same? If you do then you know you too have work to do. Take what you have learned, studied or know and apply it quickly. Get quiet and slow down. Breathe deeply. Fill your mind with "high thought" that resonates and feels uplifting, practice yoga, run, do whatever it takes to get reconnected and centered. That needs to be your "job" until you feel that inner sense of peace once again..

Soon that will become automatic and you will see that you are no longer susceptible to the pattern that was kicking in and kicking you about on a daily basis.

"One Day at A Time" is a great adage. It works!

I think that Eckhart Tolle opened my eyes to "living in the moment" and his books "Gateway to Now and The New Earth" really gave me some tools to use to help me stay in the moment and to savor it.  Letting go of the past and not letting your subconscious rule is something all of us have to work on consistantly every day I believe.  We all have a "story" and it is sometimes very difficult to separate who we are from what we have been.   Learning to live in the now is a practice that I really work at but sometimes fail to achieve.  Thanks Iriana for such an insightful blog.

Hi Ann, There are times that one minute at a time is okay too. I will say to myself, okay now, i am breathing, i have air, water and a roof over my head. God is present and i can move into the next moment feeling safe. Many blessings to you on your journey. If I can be of any help please feel free to email me at iriana40@gmail.com


Good points.  Lately my plate is so full that negative thoughts creep in.  I will put into pratice your suggestions.  For me right now, one hour at a time is about all I can handle.




Blessings.




Ann
