One constant in life is change. Change we are aware of and change we are not. Life is constantly cycling and evolving and when experience the opposite of that it is usually because we are resisting the flow of what is. On a conceptual level it sounds simple because it is. When we get down the nitty-gritty we come face to face with our ideas and beliefs about life. We tell ourselves something that is happening is not supposed to be happening. We want to develop arguments about why it is all wrong. We believe strongly that things should stay as they are. Things being other people, situations, ourselves, or even a particular event. It is called resistance to change. God invites us to take a step back from our stories. God encourages us to pause before engaging in our default thinking loop and connect with the truth of who we are. Connecting in a way that makes room for an amendment. We fear what we do not know. We push against the feeling of uncertainty. The madness, of course, that its all uncertain. None of us know when the last cycle of change will make an adjust to our lives. None of us can tell when we will run out of opportunities to reside in the flow of life. How do we know if the moment we are resisting right now is the last amendment to our lives or one of a successive amendments? When we pause and check in with our heart, settle into the rhythm of our breath we touch the mystery and the fascination of the uncertainty. In the pause we can step down from the rambling mind coming up with a million reasons to resist and relax into the beauty of the amendment of our physical system happening through the exhale. Our very being is the template for how to deal with the nitty-gritty of everyday life we just forget because it happens so automatically. I don’t know about you but the most recent times I found myself stressed and resisting an amendment to my life I was not even conscious of how I was constricting my access to the very life force I would need to face whatever came next.
Are we willing to pause and tap into the mystery and beauty of our heart and breath which will guide us on how to face the next amendment of our day today?
