As we shift our awareness, we realize that in every moment, we are dancing with the Divine.
Each moment holds within it an opportunity for growth - progressive change - evolution.
It’s like we are attending Her University on how to be more fully human - integrated holistic beings.
As we walk the path of enlightened living, She gives us countless opportunities. Repeating cycles. If we don’t catch the lesson, it will be presented again (and again) in a different form, until we shift and make a different choice - a progressive choice.
Today, I came face to face with this understanding. Again =)
I have a few hours between appointments to record some of the Sadhanas I have prescribed to clients this week. And this weekend, I have been experiencing some annoying tech issues - wifi outages, Bluetooth disconnections, slow video processing times - that make running an online business from home challenging. With this in mind, I intentionally checked all of my connections before hitting “record”.
The practice was beautiful. Maybe 3 minutes into recording, my next-door neighbor starts running the lawnmower…. I laugh internally. I pause for just a moment to make a decision - do I stop the recording or do I continue as planned. I choose to continue in hopes that it won’t be too loud and distracting in the recording. After all, the practice I am sharing is offering us the supreme wisdom to become unaffected by outside circumstances. I nod to Her, understanding that this is part of my education from Her.
The sadhana flows effortlessly and as I stop the recording, I am experiencing Bliss, connection, the fullness of Nature. As I open the video to see how the audio sounds and assess whether the lawnmower overpowers the practice, I learn that there is no recording of the sound of my voice. The only thing you can hear is my music playing in the background.
I laugh out loud. Within this state of Union, I see that this practice was always meant just for me. Just me, dancing with the Divine. What a cosmic play!
In years past, I may have gotten really frustrated and been critical of my choice to continue recording. I may have even used the lawnmower as a sign that I missed, a sign that I should have stopped, that something was wrong with the recording. I used to take life really seriously, a side-effect of having been under the tutelage of Shani all my life, not yet having the consciousness state to fully understand his teachings.
As I have grown in my awareness, I see how incredibly hilarious this whole game we are playing is - the roles, their expressions. How seriously we take ourselves and our status. From my current state of consciousness, I realize this is all just a play. I consciously align myself to Her and ask for her guidance in all moments. As this expresses itself, I experience the fullness of this moment. (And, I trust the time and space will open up to re-record.)
I can hear Her laughing with me, as I realize Her game. She loves to play! She beckons us to play with Her, dance with Her!
Can you relate to this experience? Is She giving you opportunity after opportunity to laugh and play with Her? I’d love to hear from you. Drop a comment below sharing your own experience.
