My kids love an Italian restaurant in Newton and their favorite take-out is called a "half bucket" of lasagna. Doesn't sound too appetizing, but that sh** is good!
Today on my mat I was smiling to myself as I realized that I had a "full bucket" of thoughts which were attempting unsuccessfully to divert me from my path of spreading light to the world.
We all have these thoughts. Our minds are relentless. It is a practice to let go of them. A daily practice.
What occurred to me this morning is that each thought, "problem" or painful thing – whatever you label it – has a different flavor and intensity.
Last night right before I went to bed one of my children was sad about something . . . and then as I was about to lie down I – big mistake – looked at an email on my phone that had just come in. Sometimes "customer service" is a bitc*.
So there were two flavors in my "bucket" of thoughts which had varying intensities of pain associated with them for varying reasons.
On my mat this morning I was smiling thinking that those two items in my "pain bucket" made a few other things from days past seem somewhat irrelevant. Isn't it funny how things are relative in time ultimately does heal?
What's in your "pain bucket" today? Can you surround that bucket with White Light and release it to the universe and focus on something else? That's what I did during my yoga practice at 4:30 AM and damn I feel good now.
