Feeling Mediocre? It may be time for a spit-wash!
The Talk: When we go through times of feeling down or mediocre, its not the real you that you are noticing. You are noticing the dust that has settled from recent decisions or habits or patterns. But I promise, the real you is there - under the dust - and you might just be ready for a spit-wash!
The Meditation: A gentle way to acknowledge that which has caused some recent “dust” in our lives, and an empowering way to glow our real self out of the dust.
Self-worth vs. Self-esteem
The Talk: Self-esteem rises and falls with the tides. But self-worth is the idea that when you mess up at life, your wholeness has not been subtracted. When you achieve at something in life, your wholeness has not been added to. You are at all times, whole.
The Meditation: Imagining yourself as a whole, shimmery being that cannot be subtracted from.
For when we want to “let go” but can’t.
The Talk: Sometimes letting go isn’t an option. Aparigraha is a practice of “ungripping” or “unattaching”.
The Meditation: If you are feeling something big like a major life moment, a longstanding hurt, a back-of-the-mind fear… try out this meditation. Its goal is not to let it go, but to simply loosen its grip.
When our “doing” is below par, it’s time to look to the “being”.
The Talk: Ahamkara is the process of separating our “doing” from our “being”. We are not a product of our actions and choices. Our true “being” is a product of the universal connection.
The meditation: A meditation where we actively resist that which urges us to do better and be better. Instead, we fight back with our real, whole “being”.
