We are impacted by more than we realize. Things are happening on an energetic level simultaneously with a cognitive, emotional, or physical level. There is no such thing as having only a physical experience. If we are breathing we are inputting information through our nervous system and it happens without our awareness. Sometimes we experience a strike of sorts within our own system. There is a breakdown or stopping in our functioning on a physical, emotional, intellectual, or spiritual level. Sometimes it is clear to us what is causing the strike. Not all strikes have a big impact and some accumulate over time. It can feel like a hit to our system or like something just ended unceremoniously. The shifts in our reality because of a strike get our attention. We find we have to reorient ourselves and find a new way to work. In those strike moments, we are invited to approach a solution from a different angle. We may need to bring all the elements to the table to determine how to resolve the strike. We may need to let go of whatever has struck itself out of our experience. God invites us to balance the players present at the discussion on how to handle the strike. We may think it is just about a change of mind, but not realize the heart has something that needs to be heard as well. We may be convinced it is just a physical strike on the part of our hand but maybe our mind is trying to convey that it is not able to grasp something. The beauty and subtlety of life encourage us to be present and explore what is possible when addressing any strike from all sides of the table.
