Have you ever really looked at a sunrise with your heart, and because it moved you so deeply, taken a photograph to share with your loved ones. And when you show them the photo, you realise it doesn’t real encapsulate the moment you took it, and their response to the image is bland, no matter what adjectives they use to appreciate it. WHY?
The photo captures the physical elements. Your being perceived the full energy impact of the moment. And your mind gave the experience meaning. THAT’S LIFE.
In My Universe, I’m an eternal spiritual being, experiencing a material life in a temporary physical body, and making sense of the experience and giving it meaning with my mind.
BODY, MIND and SOUL are the inseparable combination of elements that all interact to create the rich tapestry of My Universe.
My Body is unique. Different from ANY other body on this planet, throughout time. It has a different cellular, chemical, neurological and genetic makeup to anyone else and marches to the beat of it’s own inner cellular drum.
My Mind is what makes me me. It is the library of meanings, created from every experience my body had and the meaning I gave each experience in that moment, with the knowledge, wisdom and understanding and insight I had at that time. These thoughts, beliefs and fixed points of view have programmed the GPS of my journey through life. Every experience along the way has invariably been evaluated by comparing it to the past and the beliefs and emotions associated with the first experience, more deeply entrenched and rationalised to be valid truths, with every subsequent encounter with the same or similar stimuli.
My Soul is the core of who I am. There is an inner knowing that supersedes the knowledge gained from casual and curated, formal and social education. By soul has the wisdom of experiences from beyond the here and now, but often clashes with the desires of the body and thoughts, beliefs and emotions of the mind.
For me, living consciously, is being aware of all three elements of my self… conscious of my bodies desires, cravings and needs, my mind’s emotional responses and rationalisations, and my soul’s deep knowings. To navigate this particular corner of the Universe called Earth 2024, is a gentle juggling act of finding the balance of all three that keep me true to my being but relates to the world around me.
I love the mysterious, magical sun rise I strive to greet each day with, and hope that those I meet will get not just the imagery but also the essence of who I am.
I strive to bring warmth and light to this Universe, and I pray that I succeed beyond my expectations.
The essence of who YOU are bring warmth and light, encapsulated in acts of loving kindness to every corner of my Universe.
Thank You Gary, knowing you and experiencing your many therapy modalities has allowed me to cope with and go through life with a judgement free open mind, an expectation of a myriad of possibilities available, and to appreciate the ease and joy, peace and serenity in the most rewarding and most tumultuous life situations.
