It's an invitation familiar to yoga and meditation practitioners. But it's also a kind, nonjudgmental, open, responsive, childish welcome.
Creating a new lifestyle is our usual path in the closing days of the current year, on the eve of the new year. We miss and need connection, bonding, and authenticity on this trip.
With your permission, I have some questions for us all. So who sets the limits? Is it us or them? Or can we merely work together to erect walls of isolation between our intimacy? But truthfulness requires lowering the defences. Why does the soft and defenceless belly appear as the heart opens? Did an inner voice suggest, “Let the half-shifted linger in the air” when you heard this question?
Let's all stop there! Because there is loneliness in life. No sound without a breath. Life need a wife, lover, friend, and paw. Honesty necessitates disclosure. So, will we change our mind about him when the other side drops their shields and their wounds are visible? Maybe we don't know. Do we really know ourselves and our possible attitudes? Is sincerity something we can cultivate? Let's begin.
Some of us have dark sides that we don't do anything about but that just thinking about makes us feel uncomfortable. Many things we do not wish to show others, or even ourselves.
We can find our boundaries and ourselves at those extreme points, while we cease criticising ourselves with labels that stay on us over some ready-made thoughts. What is a step forward?
This intimacy, even with oneself, can be scary. Since the eliminated labels carry the so-called value judgments, we have reached the stage of being open and receptive to life as it is. Sincerity invites an open heart. And only with some so-called heart values! It is only possible if it is devoid of personal pain and external judgments based on repressed desires. With the kind of childlike purity that makes us all think, "I wish we could be like them."
Intimacy with ourselves, then our surroundings, is possible when we overcome fear and anxiety about judgments and their possible outcomes. We are as free as the intimate field we create, as open to receiving and giving love as we are, and we contribute to life. Living in fear or opening up to more consciousness, a pleasant attitude, intimacy, and being surrounded by love, joy, and loved ones are choices.
I wish for all of us a healthy year, where our decisions bring clarity, love, and joy to our lives.
