Weekend meditation: What in you yearns for nurturing?
I have found time and time again that listening is a good thing. The only smart thing to do.
Listen to your body- Listen to the whispering voice
- Listen to the yearning
- Listen to the craving
- Listen to the squeaky wheel
- Listen to the part that is asking for nurturing
Ignore your body and you will get sick. Ignore the whisper and you will be unfulfilled. Ignore the yearning and you will be miserable. Ignore the craving and you will be unsatisfied. Ignore the squeaky wheel and it may stop turning all together.
Ignore the part of you that needs nurturing and you will grind to a halt.
Listening is hard, harder than it needs to be. There is so much white noise in our lives, it takes effort to hear through the static. If we don’t listen carefully, intentionally, regularly the message gets louder. Louder; more painful, more urgent, more frantic. The dial is turned up. And up. And up. Until we act. Until the message us undeniable (and your options are few).
Listen to the whisper. Tend to the niggle. Soothe the ache. Oil the squeak.
