Day 26 – CONNECTED
Today, letโs zero in on personal grounding so that the seeds of our unique understanding continue to grow long after this challenge ends.
I might be the odd one as Iโve never felt deeply connected with anyone. If anything I always feel disconnected and awkward like I donโt really fit in.
A time when my sister visited me. I felt safe, like myself and comfortable. It was a delight to enjoy my time with her making moments to look back on. <3
I can not remember a time when I have felt deeply connected to everything and everyone around me. Somehow this has slipped by me.
Compassion – Empathy and having peace and Happiness
The elements that contributed to the cultivation of that deep connection? I think the key thing for me is the concept of letting go. Releasing my idea of who I think I am and just trusting that there is so much more to it all. There is so much more than my own wants and desires, there is a much deeper connection and love that exists and flows through pretty much everything. But in order to get to that space, I have to be willing to let go. To pause, breathe, go deeper, let go and trust.
I think having an open mind is essential first. Because you have to potentially throw off years of selfish thoughts and feelings and acts in order to get to a place where you can begin to empathize with others. Then kindness…being kind to myself and others even in the face of adversity or hatred. And acceptance. Accept kindness. Accept that we are all different in ways but yet all one. Accept the emotions and feelings that come with being connected to each other…we are all valid.
I feel most deeply connected when I completely removed the “self” from my perspective. There are no labels. I AM everything. That’s the truth of it.
When the blinders of “me, me, me” are removed. I see the interconnectedness of everything and can’t help but love and enjoy everything. It’s heaven on Earth, available at any given moment to any given person. It’s absolutely intoxicating, and I strive to return to that natural state in all I do by unlearning everything that thinks otherwise.
