He described it as being inside a dark cave - no light whatsoever
Black as pitch - how hell might feel?
Unable to tolerate noise and distractions from people, his mobile, or social media
So he switched off physically and mentally🔌
In the days that followed, he began to find a peace within the darkness
A stillness that he craved for so long but hadn't found - until now
Slowly and surely, he began to see and feel a glimmer of light.....
Head clearing, inner listening, awareness growing
Illuminating a path out of the cave 🕯
We each have our individual tolerance of the threshold between light and dark
For my client, it was enough to move beyond the dark into the shade - for now
Life's always about light and shade - positive/negative, life/death, love/hate
It's not 'either or', but 'both and'
We need that balance - if we're to learn life's lessons, find meaning, and a sense of purpose
Some examples.......
The 'yin' darkness of reflection and receiving - our inner journey
The 'yang' light energy of action and giving - our outer journey
The cycle of nature - no death, only transformation - renewal, and re-birth
Harmony between the light and the dark - moderated by the shade?
It's in the nature of nature to thrive 🌱
Are we any different? No. It's in our nature to experience the ebbs and flows
Those 'emotional' seasons we go through - from Spring through to Winter
Marking our inner journeys in experiencing life fully👣
It's our birthright to thrive - it's in our nature
Nobody ever said it was easy - far from it. We're always a work in progress
To know how it feels to be in a dark place
And living lightly basked in glorious light
When to hold on, and when to let go
Trusting that nothing lasts forever
It's for us to act and make the change
Living life fully - as a positive force for good
Is a choice we make BECAUSE of where we've come from 🕳
It's rarely bestowed upon us with a sprinkling of magic dust
We need to put in the work to navigate the human experience
After all we're here to learn, share, and help each other - right?
