TENDER HEARTED BEING with Jasmuheen
As time unfolds around us in this dual-natured world we are now witnessing so many things. Some feel as if they stand in the calm centre of a hurricane that is shaking up life around them as they witness huge changes in the lives of many they love. Others who live in a pool of peace, feel the ripples of great change flow across the surface of their life for they are anchored deep in the Beingness of their own Divine nature. Here they are detached, content yet also aware of the necessity for these changing rhythms in life.
Things change — this is the only constant we know.
What is, is — is another constant that helps us relax and choose pathways of peace to go beyond this dual-natured world.
Yet even in the ‘what is, is’ energy, we can still accept that some situations have evolved to such a point that the only thing left for us to do is change our attitude so that the ‘what is, is’ does not dis-empower us in any way.
Through complicated issues and/or lack of good communication, marriages crumble; people move on via death or divorce, while others get sick and then become consumed with finding the right pathway back to health.
Others have been forced to let go of long held dreams as they now approach retirement and find that the funds set aside to support this have disappeared during this ongoing global financial crunch. All of it is leaving so many now in a state of tender heartedness — compassionate, empathetic and very real in the dealing’s of the human heart.
The past year on tour I have heard so many stories, witnessed so much human suffering, as people everywhere around me struggle to come to terms with the changes in both their personal and also global world.
One of the pathways of peace is the ability to count our blessings, to allow ourselves to feel really blessed by all that is good in our life, the blessings of our family and loved ones and also to recognize and feel what we are being blessed by during our time on Earth here now.
Maybe these blessings can be as simple as the fact that we can change the experience of life by changing the rhythm of our breath; the fact that we can all breathe, and slow it down to such a deep, refined, and gentle rhythm, allowing us to access the more subtle planes of peace and love within us, a place we can relax and take shelter from any storm, in life’s ever changing sea.
Sometimes true peace is only a few breaths away. So in this book of poems and insights, our focus will be on the Pathways of Peace that surround us.
There are so many paths when we know where to look, and what to align to, and why, so that we can navigate peacefully through these changing times, and help others to do the same — if and when required.
