I thought it was time for us all to take a breath and sit together. I needed a new meditation, and I love to meditate with you.
We sometimes lean towards someone or something out of love, out of curiosity, out of interest. We are pulled off-center, but it's short-term, unattached, and beautiful. It fills us up.
Other times, we lean in out of fear, worry, or tension. We grasp and cling. We try to control and manipulate. Maybe we overstay our welcome and we wind up sacrificing ourselves in order to get in there. It depletes us.
There's also leaning away...when we try to avoid, route around, or resist what's happening. We're arguing with reality when we lean away like this. This is the "if I can't see you, you can't see me" method.
But...we can also simply lean back. We can open our hands, loosen our grip, and let life unfold exactly as it is. When we lean back this way, we may hit *pause* on our own actions, but we gain perspective, clarity, and recognize what's happening. This is the "go with the flow" technique.
We cycle in and out of these...we lean in and out, we get filled up and wiped out.
So we return to center. That's the practice, anyway. We ground in and root down. We find that core part of us where we're on our own team, in our own corner, having our own back.
