Catherine’s Calm

What if the Chaos we are experiencing in our lives carries blessings? And what if we get so caught up in the worry and the stress of the Chaos that we miss the blessings? If you are feeling that sense of confusion or chaos from the outside world, I invite you to take a moment to reconnect with your breath and discover the blessings in the Chaos.

Connect to your inner child and return to a time when it felt like time stood still. A time when you were allowed to simply be rather than expected to do. And while you may feel simply ‘lost in space,” this is so much more. You will discover that this space is the foundation of your longing and your heart.

What is common sense? While it may sound straightforward, different people have different perceptions of what defines common sense. In this meditation, explore what common sense is for you. Connect to the common information accumulated over time as a collective and through ancestors. Adding to this accumulative information, connect to your own information collected during a lifetime through experience or observation. And then of course, more importantly, find your truest common sensibles when you quiet the mind to connect with the messages in the depths of your soul. There is guidance in the messages of your ancestors. There is intellect in your observations. But there is truth in the messages of your soul.

During these times of uncertainty, we search for stability. A place to land, to be safe, to ride out the storm. What if we take a leap and surrender, to trust that we will be guided safely to land, perhaps a new shore? Take a moment to let go of the fear of uncertainty and discover what is certain within.

There have been times in my life when I have experienced trauma and grief. In these times of pain, sadness and grief people have extended simple kindnesses that have touched my heart in ways I will always remember. Sometimes I think about those times, not so much to go back and relive the pain, but more out of compassion for the people around me. What’s going on in their lives? Do they have someone ill at home? Or are they experiencing pain and sadness in their own life? Just like me, the people around me may share celebrations with loved ones but also sadness and grief. I invite you to take a moment and join in this meditation of compassion for ourselves and for those around us because:

"Just like me they don’t want to feel physical pain or insecurity or rejection. Just like me they want to feel respected and physically comfortable.” Pema Chodron

When we find the stillness within us, we allow the messages of the soul to rise up and be heard. Take a few moments of quiet, to listen to the messages with you. 

We tend to be impatient souls. We live in a time of instant gratification. With the simple click of a finger we can send a note, request a product and expect immediate response. But now we are being called to wait. And it's not always easy or comfortable for us. But have we considered that there may be a purpose to the wait. Perhaps the wait is encouraging us to find new gifts and new ways of being. 

As we step into a time of new beginnings in our lives on the pathway of humanity, I invite you to take a few moments to meditate and call upon grace to join us on our journey.
