Practice your practice

I the past few days I have sought to resurrect, illuminate, re-create a spiritual practice, my spiritual practice, a practice that is not only moments of alone time but alone time that moves my ego from forefront to willing partner to experience the world from Love rather then one from fear, mistrust, doubt... Ignoring the world does not make it go way, living in the world by being more conscious more aware, more loving.
I have read many books, I have journaled until my hands cramped, and the words became blurred on the page. I have sat in circle, I have sat in sweat lodges, I have experience breath work, Tarot Readings, I am Reiki Master, I have drummed and journeyed with Shaman's and heaven knows what else...
I can talk, the talk with some sense of knowing, I can suggest, offer advise, guide, yet my soul/spirit says something is missing, the walk, the journey, the experience even with the opportunities that I have for moving beyond self, the marriage of ego and spirit still struggles, still has its days, weeks, months, that it seems to struggle. Seems to cause doubt about who I am and what I am doing or not doing...
Greet the morning with gratitude, rain or shine, cold or hot, be grateful you work up another day. Get down on the floor with my dogs and hug them and be greeted with love so unconditional your heart melts. Take your walk, the first one of the day, smelling the air, feeling the temp, smile at the people you meet, laugh at the squirrels that scurry about... Notice, notice, and say thank you.
Be social, keep the appointments, go to the heart circles people are having, to the events in the community, meet new people, learn new things....
I started this with something else in mind but this is where it has taken me this morning...
Practice your practice, make it a living experience of who you are...

Beautifully said Jeff… “Practice your practice, make it a living experience of who you are…”
Terrill,
Thank you for stopping by…
This is a powerful message, Jeff. It is one I needed to hear. Thank you for being a part of this community. Thank you for your openness. I hope you find that missing piece.
Sending lots of hugs!

Susan,
The messenger that I am was not only speaking the message to those out there who see and who hear, but to my egoic self, to move beyond, to dance a dance in harmony rather modern dance of chaos…
If I can't or won't be open with myself, how can I be open with others?
I am Love, Jeff
