The Gift of Patience
I trust the information from our Winter tips was helpful to you. I could not help but write this week on something which I consistently reflect to family, patients, students or members of The Transformation Project - the kindness in the gift of patience.
We live in a world where fast, instant result is expected, yet we are ultimately nature, a microcosm of the macrocosm. Nature reflects to us constantly to embrace patience. A strong eucalypt tree does not instantly appear. It begins its journey from a small seed, is nurtured, receives nutrients and grows through the seasons to gain its strong roots and have the ability to weather the difference seasons and storms it must face.
We sometimes forget, the time, the patience and the nurturing we gift ourselves are OUR DEEP GROUNDING ROOTS, to weather the storms of life. We as humans go through seasons of our lives, we have periods of openness, freedom and feeling of great light. We also have times of tightness, challenges and storms. It is how we learn to grow. It is in remembering nature's way of being patient we gain true perspective. That you won't always get an immediate result, that life is meant to be lived, experienced and enjoyed in all its seasons.
Look at some of the elements to see how we can reflect this within ourselves and our lives -
Ether - the ability to expand
Air - the ability to move
Fire - the ability to cleanse
Water - the ability to flow
Earth - the ability to ground
Each day, each moment you are being asked to do all of these things. When you flow with life, knowing healing, growth and change in seasons is natural, it will support the mind to take a back seat and the inner critic to dissolve. The heart understands patience, and when we choose to live and share patience, we truly bring grace to our way of life. The ripple extraordinary.
I hope this has been helpful to you in perhaps reflecting a more gentle, patient approach to your own healing path and an ever changing society and expanding conscious reality.
In respect of your resilience, courage and strength,
Alli
