Rinse and Repeat

May 5, 2014 · Leave a Comment


“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift…” 
~ Albert Einstein
Knowing this I ask again — what does it feel like to receive unconditional love? 
Now without labeling, without using words or employing images – or memory even – can you summon up the feeling? Can you use your subtler senses to bask in It’s immensity? 
Mmm mmm good! 
Now – as most shampoo bottles instruct – rinse and repeat. Rinse off the conditions in which you find yourself and stretch yourself to repeat feeling this feeling once daily.
It would be monumental if we could daily attend to our emotional and intuitive hygiene in this way. Taking a moment each day of our lives to rinse and repeat might allow our day (and thus our lives) to unfold more favorably. 
This is the manner in which I am living today. I am stretching myself beyond what is, letting go of business as usual and allowing what serves best to unfold before me. It is scary. It is uncomfortable. I have much less control, but I know that by attending to my emotional hygiene there is a much richer chance I might evolve toward a greater vision for my life than I can currently conceive.
Got any questions? Me too – loads. But gonna set them aside to feel my way forward today?
Could you let go – even just a little today – to make room for new possibilities?
