If we all lived “mindfully” then what would happen? I mean, if we were conscious of every thought, word, action, intention reaction and every step we take then what would we create?
Yesterday I was mindful of every thought word and especially every mouthful I ate. I was living consciously as I was feeling ill. I wanted to be well, I didn’t want to create more illness in my body so, and I lived consciously.
Toward the end of the day I felt calm and grounded. I was aware of every thought; I was pure (and focused) in my intent. It was a moment of enlightenment.
Buddha maintains that “enlightenment” is the end of suffering”. And that was my intention – to end my suffering. Not only to end my sickness or suffering but to create wellness and a state of being in the now. Mission accomplished.
So, what do I do with that now? I’ve honoured myself with the moment of enlightenment. How do I build on that or even sustain it? It’s a nice feeling; a feeling of enjoying each tiny morsel of food or even tiny speck of thought. I was calm, rested and in the moment.
This “moment” made me think about how the rhythm and pulse of our lives distracts us or keeps us in a state of perpetual chaos. Boy Dylan once remarked that chaos lived right next to him. Is that why people anaesthetise themselves with drugs, alcohol, food and many other addictions/diversions?
The storm of my repulsion has passed. A fresh landscape is cleansed of toxic thoughts and impurities. I conjure the perfect outcome with the assistance of the Magician. The Fool is begging for a new phase of fresh perspectives and experiences. Gaia groans with the labour that will deliver a new era. It’s time to elevate ourselves above the chaos of our lives.
It’s a number five day and a lover appears to grasp and give a good yank – turn the corner and don’t look back. I consciously create my reality with my desires. It is through desire that the unmanifest can manifest. So Be It!
Peace and Love,
Julia Ashton-Sayers
