It’s been such a dry season right here, which is why I commented to my hairstylist about babying my dry scalp. Her suggestion was the precise reverse of what I’d been doing. Brush, brush, brush! The physique is aware of learn how to make sufficient pure oil – we simply must be courageous sufficient to activate it.
I began pondering of different areas of life that we child. An space of life that has been a bit dry recently. Possibly extra than simply recently if we give it an trustworthy thought. A life space that’s secretly sore and pushed to the again of the thoughts. And but retains effervescent again up. Or an space that’s tender, that brings up tears or susceptible fears.
However how will we go about “brushing” these areas? Meditation or prayer is an excellent option to “brush”. It’s light but trustworthy. It’s quick and every day. It’s accomplished in a protected spot you can stroll away from (till subsequent time).
There are a lot of methods to do this kind of focussed meditation, so experiment a bit. Maybe you meditate in phrases, pondering of 1 phrase every time that describes how this space of your life makes you’re feeling. Or maybe you meditate in colour, every time picturing it as a unique colour. And once you discover the precise colour, then start picturing the main points. Is it transferring or nonetheless, skinny or thick, translucent or stable? Or perhaps you meditate on the place you’re feeling it in your physique. Does it appear to take a seat in your shoulders or deep in your stomach or in between your eyebrows?
Keep in mind that you’re “brushing” and “activating” and never fixing. You might be merely sitting with it. Observing it. Acknowledging it. Letting it BE. The fixing may occur later, after a month or longer, and outdoors of meditation. Otherwise you may discover that fixing will not be the reply. Maybe it’s extra like a therapeutic that slowly begins.
Meditation or prayer is an excellent method oil-up the dry areas and the sore areas and the tender areas of life. So be courageous. Brush.
Till subsequent time,
