Maybe it’s the time of year as we celebrate our ancestors, life and those that have taken their last physical breath, maybe it’s that I’m getting older, or maybe it’s because how I’m shown this brief life that has spiraled me into questioning. Which I seem to be doing more and more of lately…..questioning.
But overtime my questioning has changed. I focus less on the gripping of where is it or when will it occur and have moved towards deeper life questions. The ones that can spiral you into depths of information and opinions but invite in your own truth with it all.
Do we wait until our near deaths to realize what and who is really important in this life, to let go of self judgment and ridicule, to realize materialism isn’t of the heart and holds little in relation to connection and community? Why can’t we try to realign ourselves with the truth of our souls sooner than later? How long will we wait to fully live our lives free from burdens of pleasing others and attachments? How long will we wait to really look at how we live our lives and reassess our choices? What is important and why? Who is important and why? How long will we wait to live our full expression in this brief moments we call life?
We so much accept our fate given to us by others without discerning for ourselves. Why not question, be uncomfortable and ask yourself hard truths? Am I truly happy? And is the happiness fixated or dependent on someone or something?
If you knew you only had 6 months left to live, what would you do or be?
What DO you want?
What do you want from your body, from your mind, from your emotions, from your life?
Why is life worth living? Am I present enough for people I love? Am I spending whatever time I have doing things that really matter? Am I loving my life in a way that is worthwhile?
Am I eating good foods that nourish good thoughts and emotions?
How does my own ego affect me? How do my fears impact my life? How do both blind me to not see myself or others clearly? How do they influence the way I am - in relationships, with my family, at work, or in my spiritual life?
How would my life be different if I wasn’t influenced by my fear and ego? How can I change to live a more substantial life by my terms?
What do we do with our life while we have life in us?
How do I discover what I truly want and how to create my dreams into reality?
So many questions that can leer us into a deep dive. So perhaps pick one and ponder it. Sit with it. How does it make you feel? How can you look at the question merely as an inquiry and observe what arises from within. Then go from there.
Healing is in community versus individual. Community includes people, the elements, the plants, the earth, sound, energetics.
There is no one way to heal or create change… there is only your way.
With love, Susan
