A turning point in the darkness

On this side of the globe the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. As we move along with this rhythm, it enhances a desire to contain our energy more and direct our focus inward. At the same time our minds can tell us that this is not very practical, because we are taking it slow and won’t get things done as quickly as we are used to, but that is okay for now.

From the minds perspective we need to be outgoing, present, interacting, etc. In other words we need to play our part in a structure perceived as being the best way to act to keep things in the right order. But for us personally the desire to go within is stronger than maintaining a rational structure; which makes us less active and more quiet at the moment, our main focus lies within the Kundalini Shakti 40 day Sadhana which is a profound proces. 

Natural rhythm

Of course the nagging voice of the mind is still there every now and then, but the sense of trust that everything is unfolding as it should is much stronger. We are holding space by simply being ourselves, trusting that this is enough and that when there is something that needs to be done, it will present itself and we can act accordingly. In this way we honour the natural cycle of life in which different aspects of being alternate remain in balance, just as the seasons, days and nights. When we tune into this natural alternation we connect deeper to the natural rhythm of life and we find more balance and harmony in our being. 

System & structure

In our world rest and retreat have moved to the background in a 24/7 society that is mainly focussed on activity, achieving and continuous stimulation which can result in an artificial way of life that alienates us further from our natural state of being and where we start to become more and more dependent on artificial support to keep us going. This system may benefit some people on the superficial level of existence, but it’s not a system that supports simply resting in your essence. Rather it’s a system that keeps us trapped in the rat race of the society we created together. If anything, this is a great insight which the current pandemic is awakening in many people, because when you are forced to stop you finally have the time to look around you and ask yourself some essential questions.

Do we really want to sustain a structure, a way of living, that is not sustaining us and neither the earth?
