K.I.S.S.
Keep it simple smiley
Dunno about you, but I tend to over complicate things sometimes.
Often.
Always.
I read books to remind me to keep it simple.
The 4 hour workweek — Time Ferriss
Essentialism — Greg McKeown
The One Thing — Jay Papasan + xxx
Then I jump into the next morsel of knowledge I want to digest.
The Next online course.
The next book.
The next event.
Not only partially forgetting my last idea, but also trying to figure out how it all ties in together.
Because it does all tie in together. That’s the thing.
I have been following a very specific theme throughout my life. A healing theme. Personal growth. Hypnosis. Meditation. Graphology. Sacred geometry. Sound healing. Reiki. Massage. Naturopathy.
And this is a chapter form my story.
Sometimes I feel as if I come from another planet. An alien incarnated into human form to help raise awareness and consciousness on this beautiful and unique little blue planet.
Unique and very special. Very important. A tough school of life planet Earth. The toughest there is they say. But so gratifying at the same time. So rewarding.
One of my most blissful moments is when I am driving back from work in light traffic, so I am going slow, and the Sun decides to say ‘Hi Joey! How ya’ been?’.
Ahhhhhh. The heat of the Sun on my skin as I look out the window. I drink it all in. I can feel my batteries recharge in those moments. My meter goes back to full, you know what I mean?
The Sun is a nutrient you see. If we were to judge the importance of an organ with its size, the skin has to be #1.
Yes. Skin is an organ. One of the most important ones too.
The skin keeps you whole. It is ego maintaining so to speak. It keeps whatever is you inside, and whatever is not you, outside.
Plus, it gets rid of a ton of toxins you don’t need. And sweat, so heat regulating. And shivers, so heat maintaining as well.
And, it absorbs the Sun’s light.
Don’t be fooled with the propaganda. The Sun is good for you. It is a nutrient. And the best times to drink in the Sun is first hour after sunrise, and the last hour before it sets.
In those moments you can almost look directly into it without any damage (please be mindful of you actions). I am not saying to look directly into the Sun, that would be crazy on my part.
I am saying to look into sungazing though. I am a sungazer. I stand with my bare feet touching the ground. Then I look into the Sun during sunrise or sunset and I imagine the Sun’s light seeping into me through every pore of my body, through my Crown chakra, and into my eyes as well.
I stay there for a few minutes drinking it all in. Reciting my favorite mantra.
I am love, I am light. I am the Universe incarnate. I am forgiveness, I am awareness, and I am living my life on purpose.
And I am refilled.
It is blissful.
It is a meditation.
When I am too long without the Sun I feel ill. Weak. Disconnected. Anxious.
So I make a point of recharging as regularly as possible.
Same with meditation.
If sungazing is recharging my batteries, meditation is flushing cookies from my browser.
Clean slate. Blank canvas. Reboot. Reset.
I am an empath you see. I feel the world. And sometimes what I feel is very draining. People are crazy. Lost. Distracted. And carry around a lot of worry and anxiety and stress.
I am also a telepath. I hear other’s thoughts. And let me tell you, some of them are not worth listening to.
I know it sounds weird reading these last two lines. But bear with me.
We are all empaths and telepaths. Most of us have forgotten, or have been told to suppress these abilities within us as it is not deemed ‘normal’. It is scary and we were taught by authority figures that it is wrong.
So, as any good child would do, we want to make our care-givers happy, mostly to get food and lodging, so we suppress our natural tendencies and react as they would have us react instead of acting the way that comes normal to us.
Until the burden of lying to ourselves no longer fulfills its purpose and we now need to discard the masks we wear to hide and expose ourselves for who we truly are.
Spiritual beings having a human experience.
I have found purpose in raising my awareness and consciousness. Listening to what my intuition, unconscious mind, higher self is telling me and changing little things in order to walk my true path.
And also in helping others do the same.
Recognize that the symptoms of your ailment are not the problem. The problem is that you are suppressing your true self in order to please your husband, your wife, your father, your mother, an invisible other that is not even looking at you.
And the prison is in your mind. There are no jailors except your own fear. It’s a program that has been installed when you were young. And that is continuously reprogrammed with media and fear. It’s not your fault. Forgive yourself for that.
It is your responsibility though to get out of this prison, or rather break the prison now that you know you are in it.
How you got here is not important. Those are details for the psychoanalysts and psychiatrists of this world. I don’t look back that much. It’s fun to look back in order to understand. But very rarely is it enough to heal.
In order to heal the way to look is forward.
What are you going to do to make sure you start living according to your rules? Your values. Your ideas and beliefs.
How is it you want to feel? And what are the things, actions, thoughts, emotions that will help you accomplish that?
You see, looking at what is wrong doesn’t help. Maybe in the beginning it can be important to define the things that make you feel bad. Sure. But don’t stay there too long.
You quickly want to turn ahead and define the things you want to have more in your life. And figure out how to manifest that into your vortex more often.
It is also very important to feel, and believe you are deserving of feeling good. Because a lot of our problems stem from the fact we feel we don’t deserve happiness.
We were not allowed to be ourselves without a reprimand after all. Hiding ourselves from the world was a learned behaviour. A behaviour that kept us alive so to speak. So it might be hard to discard that part.
Yet it is essential.
We need more of you in the world.
I like you.
Your weird is cool.
I like cool.
