My mind is way more focused, I am calmer

I would like to thank you for your great mindfulness meditation sessions where I gained an insight into the practice which is now becoming part of my life. I will use your recordings and listen to your calm voice to be able to practice it. My mind is way more focused, I am calmer and seem to be able to let things go a little easier and overall my moods are more balanced. You are such an inspiration!

Thankful ThursdayA big theme that’s emerging for me during these changing and somewhat challenging times is that I can trust myself. I’m thankful to appreciate the power of a pause, and taking 3 long deep breaths before reacting in ways I may have later regretted.I’ve seen how people when they are triggered, or when they are dealing with a lot, can behave in ways that are less rational, sometimes more irrational, or perhaps more aggressive, and sometimes more reactive. And there’s a part of me that doesn't quite understand what they're doing or why they’re doing it, or why they're behaving that way.�So the way I deal with these situations is to remember who I am when I’m tested.Most recently this happened with a loved one who behaved in a way that totally shocked and surprised me. I became aware of a shift in my energy – a contraction– and a recentred myself through my breath and connected in with what I could count on for certain, and that was the knowing that I can trust myself enough to know how best to handle the situation for my greatest good.� So even if people around me or the world around me seems more confusing than ever, I handle this by remembering who I am, and to hold true to what my values are, why I’m here, and what I think I’m capable of doing right now.So, remember who you are when tested.  I’m most pleased to have learned that remembering who I am and what I stand for can be the solution to being tested by others and by situations in life.There may be some real curveballs or things that have either happened to you recently or are happening to you right now. You know who you are. And yes, the curveball might slightly change how you operate in the future or how you do things, but you do know who you are… so trust yourself. And back yourself.  I’ve learned that if you sit with any scenario you are in, and ask yourself “what can I do next in this situation” and “what is true for me to do,”you will find what to do next, and that's really all we can do.And if I’m uncertain, I’ve learned that allowing things to play out a little further before making any hasty moves allows me to reach more certainty once I am clear.Yes, life can throw us some challenges and trials from time to time. These are initiations into greater awareness, strength and wisdom.They are not easy lessons. It’s our resistance that causes our suffering.My wishes for you are that you remember the magnificent being of light and love that you are. Allow your heart to show you the way. Trust your instincts and be patient, kind and gentle with yourself during times of change and upheaval. May we remember to lend a hand to those in need, and to embrace the grace that emerges as we rise, together, as One. Jx
Loneliness is a sign you are in desperate need of yourself. Jx
There is great potential within each of us to find purpose, meaning, direction and joy in life. Jx
