To begin, create an altar area or a small safe place in your home that seems inviting—if you have an altar already that would work.
Then, this is when our nest becomes an act of great self-care. Every day take time to speak, sing, or read to your nest. Perhaps you will feel called to add new things to your nest such as flowers, photos, trinkets, or gifts, and after a few weeks you may also feel inspired to clean the nest, move it, or re-do it entirely. Move with as much wholeness and totality as you can to the very center of your being, the center of the cyclone. And you have come home.—Osho It was when I stopped searching for home within others / and lifted the foundations of home within myself / I found there were no roots more intimate / than those between a mind and body / that have decided to be whole.” — Rupi KaurIt is especially tempting in times of transition and challenge to abandon our homes, to leave our territory, in search of answers, perhaps by worrying about what will happen in the future. This is precisely the moment when we need to return to the present moment, feel our bodies, and take good care of ourselves now. Because the future is made of this moment. If we take good care of this moment, even if it is very difficult, we are taking good care of the future. If a tree wants to reach high into the sky, wants to touch the stars and whisper with the clouds, then the first thing it has to do is to reach as deep into the earth with its roots, as deep as possible. I had a dream in which I was given this directive: “Let the music play you.” On first glance the message was clear and easy. As a pianist I understand about letting the music “play me," -- it requires that my technique be well-practiced. It requires that I have knowledge of the composer and her or his style. It requires exploration of my own interpretation of how I want to express my own soul through a particular piece of music.
When we try to ignore or push away strong emotions, they have a tendency to hang around uninvited in our tense shoulders, shallow breathing, and tight jaws. With this practice from Sharon Salzberg, we gently turn toward uncomfortable sensations and feelings. This may seem counterintuitive at first, but when we bring nonjudgmental awareness to difficult emo- tions, we can see how they arise, change, and go. 3. A Meditation to Remind Yourself That You Are Enough from Jenée JohnsonBirds have been symbols for pagans, shamans, seers, prophets, and native peoples all over the world. Their ability to be at home soaring in the heavens, and equally at home nesting in a bramble bush close to the earth reminds us that home is within us, not without us.
With the book as your guide, you will embark on a transformative journey of inner healing, rewriting the narrative of your life, and embracing the profound serenity accompanying the journey towards inner peace. Nurturing Relationships and Connection When you dig deep within yourself, first you will find truth, then you will find consciousness, and then you will find bliss. Bliss is the deepest—and the deepest is also the highest. It explores the concept of healing as a transformative process—one that embraces the courage to confront past wounds, release emotional burdens, and cultivate self-care practices that nourish the soul.What we are actually doing is re-establishing these qualities and the energy inherent in them, to our psyche. Because of the power of the energy, this work is transformational. It can also be unnerving. Bliss is neither of the body nor of the mind; hence it has infinite depth. It is your very soul, your self-nature, your being. Pleasure comes and goes; happiness happens and disappears. Bliss is forever. Even when we are not aware of it, it is there, present as an undercurrent; one just has to dig.
