YOU

You are light and love. This is what I try to remember when I'm having a hard time.

I practice every day before I even get into a difficult spot. I'm reiterating some of what I have learned from Eckhart Tolle. I sit still. I sense what is around me: the way the air feels, the sounds that I hear. I usually need to keep my eyes closed because visual stimulus keeps my mind busy. I acknowledge that the world around me is created by the way I see it. I appreciate the good and the bad because I am learning from all of it.

Next is the most important part. I step outside my mind, outside of Liesl. I feel myself as part of the one being from which we all come. I picture myself as warm, white light without form. That light is loving energy. I let myself feel surrounded by my own light and love which is the same light and love that comes from God.

I practice that feeling every day for just a couple of minutes, so that when I'm feeling negatively about myself or my circumstances I can go to that place of light and love. Even if I don't feel better in that moment, I know that I will be okay eventually.

I encourage you to develop this feeling of light and love which is YOU. It is always there when you need it.
