This morning I went for a swim in the sparkly turquoise ocean at Noosa… the beach was quiet and once out beyond the first set of crashing shore breaks the peace and stillness was stunning! I had no head chatter; I was immersed in the subtle sounds of the ocean being the ocean… and it was bliss!
And it got me pondering how rarely I have this stillness inside my mind, and how often we think that we are everything we are thinking!! Besides being in nature, those times of stillness and internal peace mostly come from two places for me…
getting my Bars run (oh beautiful thing!!) and returning to sender all of the thoughts, feelings and emotions that are not mine (that would be 99.99999999% of the head chatter – gone - instantly!)
We have been trained to identify with all of these thoughts, feelings and emotions as if they are us… but what if they are simply clouds floating by that are nothing to do with who we truly be?
What if we could allow them to float on through our minds without attaching any conclusions, any significance or any trauma and drama to any of it? Would there be more peace, more stillness and more space to become aware of the bliss that is available to us in the moment?
So this week I’m returning to sender every thought, feeling or emotion that I am aware of that is not mine… what if we could have way more space in our minds? Would this create the peace and awareness of possibilities we are so often looking for?
(In case you are wondering...'Return to Sender' is one of the many practical tools I use from Access Consciousness to create ease and joy in my daily living.)
