There is no way to avoid the events and emotions that create the stresses of our lives, unless we crawl under a rock. Seeing how this isn’t practical and definitely stymies the entire purpose of our lives, which is to experience and live life. Maybe a couple of more practical approaches would be more suitable.
The indigenous Hopi Indians of the Southwestern United States referred to the human being as ‘animated earth’. This is actually quite an accurate description. Our bodies are mostly water with a combination minerals that come directly from the physical plane (earth) upon which we live. This unique combination of earth is then animated by our spirit, our individual soul. Complete with the spontaneous personality, traits and vitality that is you.
Too often we magically focus our conscious attention into the duality of our world and forget to remember that which we truly are; animated earth here to experience life in this physical plane. By bringing our consciousness into a broader focus, our perspective on the events and circumstances in our lives take on new meaning.
This is too often more easily said than done. The demands of our careers, finances, families and survival often keep us from escaping the duality of our world. In these instances, the emotional release of crawling under that rock, look pretty inviting.
Well, let’s not crawl under it yet. Perhaps what our Spirit, the Soul that animates us needs is to reconnect with the earth from which we come, and this is not so difficult to do.
Now you’re expecting me to tell you to take a walk, step outside and to breathe deeply. From first hand experience I know that many of life’s situations don’t allow for such esoteric thoughts in the moment. Instead, life seems to come at us in the cubical, kitchen, highway and ballgames with more opportunity for reaction than thought filled action. So, instead of crawling under a rock, why not grab one.
No, it is not to throw at the boss, driver in front of you or your spouse when they aren’t listening. Instead, just hold it. Place it in your lap as you work in the cubical, hold it in your hand, place it in front of you, have it in your pocket to hold as you need, or wear it around your neck or wrist. Doing this gives you a tangible connection to the earth you animate and with the right stone it changes the vibration within us and around us.
