This early morning I spotted one little basilika sprout after we have been putting the seeds in the soil a week ago.
I was thrilled to experience the first of many small new plants and with a happy feeling inside I sat and did my morning meditation. After my meditation and some reading I looked at the little sprout again and in the meantime 4 other small sprouts have showed up. Wow, all this amazing lifeenergy right in front of me, waiting, waiting, waiting and suddenly something happens.
You know how it is to plant seeds, it is so exiting that you look at the soil several visits a day.
It made me think about how we plant seeds in life and see them come up as new people in our life, having new experiences, walking new paths, discovering new inner parts of ourselves or gets closer to our own true nature.
For the moment I really use my outer life as a mirror of my inner life. Whenever I am aware of my own thoughts, emotions, likes and dislikes and preferences I try to be aware of them instead of letting them identify me and my life. The proces is interesting and quite valuable and help me to be aware of how attached I am to certain thought patterns, roles I play out in my life, victimhood (which not only have to do with the bigger issues of life, childhood and relationships), but also the little victimhood in dailylife; “It is raining – it should be sunshine today”, you know let go of thoughts arising from control, painful experiences/memories and thoughts…and just be in the moment. How much do we allow ourself to be in the present moment, let me put it in another way, how aware are we of our own thoughts, emotions and patterns – detach from them and be able to be in the present moment. Being the seer, being the one aware of our own emotions, creating space in between the thought and who we are.
I love the proces and have been on this path for many years. For years I thought my own selfrealisation only could be met by a lot of meditation and retreats. But with time I have realised that the ongoing work of morexand more becoming my inner self, or peeling of all the conditioned layers comes and goes in cycles. You get aware of something in yourself, again and again and again, each time you get deeper within and let go of new layers which doesnt serve you and you strenghten your connection with your inner being.
The outside world is a very helpful mirror in this proces, how does life trigger you?! Weather, traffic, work, relationships, family…so many areas can trigger our own unsolved parts…if we are neutral about life (most of us dont question we have electricity, water, the sun is rising, the road outside etc.), but the areas where the outside starts an inner reaction, is the path, the opportunity to let go of our own layers, blocked energy from past experiences which havent been felt, dealt with in the moment, and now are captured inside of us, and keeps repeating itself until we are aware of the pattern, and until its detached it is hindering us from being our true nature – a soul.
So that was what the small sprouts was kickstarting of thoughts. Enjoy your sunday.
