Stop moments




Where is my soul?

Stop for a minute and ask yourself again “where is my soul”? Don’t let it be a line in the beginning of a post that you’re already used to see and that you automatically ignore. Remind yourself to stop, to read it, to take the time to answer it and then continue with your life; in this case - reading this post.
I know that it might feel like I’m nagging but you won’t regret asking yourself this question over and over again. If you’re doing it frequently make sure that this gesture doesn’t become automatic too, so whenever you ask it do it with intention.
About intention as a guiding arrow in the automatic flow of life – in another post.
So, the practical exercise that I’ve suggested in my previous post – have you tried it? How did it work?
I hope it worked well and that you did remember to stop on the time or point in the day that you’ve decided upon because if you did this short moment became a conscious moment.
Why? Because what you actually did was that you’ve decided beforehand on a time to remember yourself. You stopped by your own decision in the middle of the automatic strong and sweeping flow of your life. You remembered, you took a breath and for a short moment you hopefully felt “I am here”.
I’ve learnt that in those moments when you stop the automatic flow by a premeditated decision you can change the course of the stream, even for a short while, into a conscious flow because you decided to be present in the flow of your life - and you were.
In this action of stop, even though everything else around is crazy, rushing and busy it allows you to be fully aware of yourself, to be present so in this short moment you’ve changed the flow to a conscious movement.
Imagine that you could decide and have many moments like this? Imagine that you could prolong this short moment?
We don’t need money, workshops, gurus and excuses in order to start investing in and gathering drops of consciousness to our bucket. We can start now.
I send you Light, Love and Compassion
