Come Back

Beneath the busy conquest of bliss; a calm exists -
A serene landscape of space; unpopulated expanse 
Stands separate from the saturation of information,
That's infiltrating our terrain's tranquil lands.

Innocent yet incessant consumption of inspiration
Intended as the impetus of improvement,
Instead piles up perpetually, a well-meaning metropolis
Scraping the skies of our cognitive capacity.

Can we capitulate to silence? 
To cease the construction and open to contemplation
Connect to the core, the fundamental source
That's been muted amidst the daily discourse, 
Can we really listen, in fully engaged volition -
To what our intuition has diligently been discerning 
The rich personal pastures of experiential learning.

Come back home to what is truly known,
Practices unpracticed, actions left idle,
Come back home to the lush stretch of truth
To: Simplicity. Openness. Freedom. Understanding
Come back home, to where your own wisdom is expanding.

Word of the Day: Discipline

Image
The word discipline piqued my interest when I heard it in a podcast recently. In the way it was used, I really connected to its sound and meaning, immediately inspiring me to look into it further, to figure out its potential power in creating positive practices in my life.  The definitions I found on it are not the most appealing and possibly match most people's initial association with the word: Discipline - [noun] the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behaviour, using punishment to correct disobedience. [verb] train oneself to do something in a controlled and habitual way. Self Discipline -  the ability to control one's feelings and overcome one's weaknesses. Synonyms : self-control, self-mastery; restraint, self-restraint; will power, strength of will, firmness, firmness of purpose, purposefulness, strong-mindedness, resolution, resolve, moral fibre; doggedness, persistence, determination, tenacity  These didn't particularly evo

If You Could Only See

See How Free You Can Be If you could only see, See just how free you can be See, how it looks, sounds and feels To be unleashed, into liberty. If you were to cultivate A boundless belief in sufficiency; A you that surpasses all sense of ‘enough’. A you who emerges from the constraints of ingrained fallacy Rewriting the fictions penned by your affliction of conditions Whose sole function is to keep you small. Restricted. Contained. Silently submissive To the clipped wings of self esteem deficiency, It may seem, impossibly out of reach, But I promise, with this belief, you will see. If you can fill your speech with accents of affirmation, Your mind with positive, empowering information If you focus your vision on the view of freedom, Reframing challenges into lessons of wisdom, You will, supplement your life with sustained self-support, And this, this is your passport, to a life laden in your limitless dreams And to a you, who is wealthy

5 Steps to Feeling Better

Image
Hello! As you may or may not know, I'm currently living in Melbourne, Australia. Last year I was travelling Australia and working on a farm (!) to get a second year on the Working Holiday Visa. I've been calling Melbourne home since late October, and now in January, I'm still finding my feet and figuring things out. Like anything, there is a process involved in moving, in setting up, in changing. There are ups, downs and lengthy list of learnings along the way. Since being here, I've been working a lot on challenging things. I've challenged my relationship with money; my fears, my ideas about security, my ideas around scarcity/abundance, consumption and consciousness. I've challenged my actions, identifying when love or fear was guiding and acting accordingly. I've challenged my limitations, my passions, the transformation of what matters most. I've been reading and engaging in new ideas, exploring different areas and getting inspired by new voices.
