Sparked!

I’ve never been a fan of the “better version of you” self-help advice rant. What if there’s no better version of yourself? How would you feel if you trusted that you already have everything you need to be your best self? What kind of energy would that free up in your life? Who would you be if you weren’t always striving to be more, to be better, to be different, to be this or that?

Be grateful—they say. You’ve heard it before. Practice gratitude in the morning and in the evening. Pause during the day to notice. There’s no question that having a gratitude practice can be a helpful way to remind us of what we have and don’t have. But there’s another level. It’s the feeling of grateful—in your body and specifically your heart. For me, it’s been a game changer.

There’s a difference between being present and trying to capture what is happening in the present moment. In this quick message I share an observation of how, as a culture, we are much more likely to try to grab a special moment by documenting or recording it than actually experiencing it fully. And perhaps, just perhaps, there are moments when we leave the phone in our bag.

The world is spinning out there. We are flying through the air without a parachute. And while there is no ground beneath us, there is a ground within us. Finding and returning to our inner ground, our inner sense of stability and clarity is an important step on the path to awakening.

The bad news is that you’re flying through the air without a parachute. The good news is that there is no ground. That is a quote from the teacher of my teacher, Chogyam  Trungpa Rinpoche. In other words, there’s constant turbulence. And because there is no ground, all we can do is to return to our deeply stable natural state of being moment-to-moment. Find out how.

With all my years of practice—the journaling, reading, meditation, yoga, and more… I sometimes find myself standing on shaky ground. In other words, I still get rocked. We all still get rocked. In the end, it’s how we surf our inevitable shakiness that is the difference between living in constant despair or underlying steadiness. Let’s explore together.

Training to lighten up. I’ve been a very serious little human being for a lot of my life—very driven, very organized, very disciplined. And in that, I have often become not so fun to be around. Since training myself to lighten up more, I can now make fun of myself in a in a gentle way, in a kind way. You should try it too.

Study yourself. It will provide you with all the books you need. I read this in “When Things Fall Apart” by Pema Chodron. She suggests we study ourselves in two ways: the wisdom of how we caused ourself to suffer and the wisdom in how vast, joyful, and uncomplicated our minds are. That should keep us busy for a lifetime!

What does overwhelm feel like in your mind? I’ve learned that becoming aware of our state of body and mind is the first step to shifting and changing and redirecting and improving and expanding! Then, we’re able to catch ourselves earlier before we go way out into despair, freeze or contraction.
