Shape Clay into a Vessel
Shape Clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
- Lao-Tzu
The Tao of Spirit
by John-Roger
It is within the no-thing that the Spirit lives.
The Spirit will not come into a space that is already filled.
It you are filled with anxiety, fear, depression and disturbance,
There is no space for the Spirit.
And since the Spirit cannot violate your consciousness,
It must stay outside.
When you give up the negative emotions and expressions,
the space that is left can be filled by the Spirit.
But you must create the space.
You have to risk letting go of the things that do not work for you
in order to gain the things that will.
Last night when doing my reading before bed, I could not help but know that I must write about this today. For me, it could not be said better. It describes the process of moving from mindfullness to mindfreeness, “letting go of the things that do not work for you in order to gain the things that will.”
The exercise of using your five senses to increase awareness and objectivity is an easy meditation method. Try watching my Mindfullness Sensory Tour video series to really see how easy it can be. Read the first three chapters of my e-book, “10 Steps to Joy: A Journey from Mindfullness to Mindfeeness.”
Together, videos and e-book, present practical mindfulness exercises anyone can practice. Mindfulness practice should be a daily habit. It can be accomplished outside on a walk or indoors having a cup of tea. The importance is simply that you do it every day because it is a cumulative result.
Over time, you increase your ability to view the day’s events objectively. You listen more carefully to your inner guidance and become more certain of its voice. You enter a sense of knowing more keenly. You feel the resonance that surrounds you and can quickly determine whether it is comfortable or disconcerting. You quickly recognize synchronicity and begin seeing the manifestation of your intent.
It is a process and one that requires daily attention. The best part is that it is enjoyable once you get beyond the resistance and the negative self-talk.
You have to risk letting go of the things that do not work for you
in order to gain the things that will.
