Lightness of Being

with 3 comments

Tara and Sam at the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.

Heaviness is a state of mind. Lethargy, sloth and sluggishness have roots in physical reality but bloom in the mind, as algae blooms in a toxic swamp. Lightness is our natural state.

Our bodies are made of light. Every atom of being vibrating at an imperceptible frequency. Resonating with the universe in perfect harmony. Discord is in the mind.

I’ve seen elephants tip-toe carefully through crowded streets in India. I’ve seen mountain goats scamper up granite cliffs. I’ve seen dolphins get incredible air just for the fun of it. I’ve seen little kids scamper up trees with no fear of falling.

I’ve also seen adults stomp around for years like they were carrying the world on their shoulders. I’ve seen friends and co-workers talk as if the sky was falling even when they were in good health and financially secure. I’ve personally been a culprit of getting tied down by the web of my own stories, and forgetting the truth of who I am – pure light.

  3. Love it, love it, love it my friend! And there are no coincidents :) . I am writing my book (to be published by end of August) and I’m on the lesson of “Being/Doing/Having” vs. “Doing/Having/Being” right now – perfect alignment.

    Be well.
