Inner Light

in #anxiety6 years ago (edited)



Each of us holds one thing in common.
We all carry light inside of our bodies.
Our essence.
Our soul.

Who we are.

Whether yours has grey parts or black pieces it doesn't matter. As long as you are alive there is always a spark of light shining in you to find.



In this time, where people are not used to being alone, many are anxious. What is to come of the world, as we know it, is on minds everywhere. Many people are alone for the longest period of their life.

I have spent the last ten years learning how to live this way. I enjoy the peace that has become my day. My interactions with people are mostly on the internet. Being in chronic pain caused my word to become small at a young age. It was not an easy journey for me to get where I am now.



Frustration at not being able to accomplish something that I never had to think twice about still fills my soul.



Now the world is crying out. People are feeling lost. What can we do to help the world when we are all in the same situation. How do you deal with feeling so overwhelmed that you just want to cry for what is happening around us?



All I can do is tell you what works for me when I let it.



Sit anywhere you are comfortable.
Close your eyes.
Look inside yourself in whatever way works for you.
Look for the spark of light.
It is there.
Trust in this fact.

It might start as a small pinhead of light.
It might be as big as the sun.
It is your light.
You will know it when you see it.
Say hello.
Get to know it again in the quiet.

Take your hands and have your palms facing each other.
Now move the ball of light between your palms.
Shape it, or let it dance.
It is your spark.
You will know what to do.



Draw strength from the light you hold in your hands.

It is there to help you survive.



When you feel peace within yourself open your hands.

Share your inner peace with the world.
There is a never-ending supply of inner peace if you just take the time to look.

There is a shortage of people sharing inner peace across the world.
Now is the time for action. Help spread light in any way we can. It cost us nothing but time.

It might take some practice.
It might take patience.
Right now most of us have the time and need a good distraction.

Finding and sharing inner peace with the world seems to be a good priority at this time.



You never know what your soul is capable of until you try.



Help someone smile today. It can not hurt you.

Thanks for sharing this at such a crucial time for the community. It really is terrifying to think what is next, but we can only take it one day at a time.

You are very welcome!! I hope it helps someone.
Thank you for finding it helpful too!!

Snook. How are you? I am constantly struggling to find inner peace. I hope someday I will find it. Your posts always bring me so much enjoyment. Stay safe and never change. You are awesome🙂

Thank You!!

doing okay :)

yeah, me too. it hard to remember to stop and listen to the silents

Thanks.

I have always been comfortable with myself. Maybe it's from being a rampaging drunk. Maybe it's just how I'm cut. I have no idea. But for a fact I do way better with myself than I do with 'casual' people. Doesn't mean I'm not willing to let my light shine wherever it may.

I spend about an hour every morning in the dark. Drink a little coffee, scratch the dog, think, meditate, plan. It's the first hour every day, because that's when I'm at my best.

Mine is the middle of the night.

hugs

Thanks @snook. I can see where it can be a time of anxiety for many right now. But your writing on inner peace and light surely will help many. Again, thanks !
