The question is do we have the willingness to listen and the courage to act

After years of practice of paying attention, it is easy now to feel when I am not in clear alignment of mind, body, spirit and my ecosystem surrounding me.

The dissonance may be so very subtle, or as big as a brass band playing on repeat in my head.

Something…just some little thing…is off.

Today it sits with me. This vague, low-grade ‘off’ feeling.

It may be that I am avoiding something.

It may be that I am in self-sabotage, repeating old and tired patterns that stopped serving me a very long time ago.

It may be that I am picking up signals in my immediate environment — a relationship that needs attention. Or the emotional, psychological or spiritual pollution of those in my immediate space.

I may be tuning into the greater frequency of the world at large…to the fear, hate, violence, dissatisfaction…or the greed, exploitation, manipulation…
It may be that I have polluted my own body/being with thoughts that stab at healthy cells with their own violence.

Or I might be telling myself stories about something…making assumptions about why xyz has not responded to my call/email/reaching out…filling my being with fakeries, distortions, and illusions.

Whatever it is, awareness is key. Noticing allows choice and action.

Do I need to breathe out the toxins? Make a call? Get some more information? Speak up? Stop doing something? Start doing something? Set a boundary? Face it?

Our bodies, minds, and being are in constant conversation with us. Our personal truth is always available to us.

The question is: do we have the willingness to listen and the courage to act?
