Say
'Yes!' To Life
"Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers
you."
~ Wayne
Dyer ~
I (Patrice) am studying with Jeddah Mali. Honestly, every week when I listen to
her presentations and explore my own experience through her guided meditations,
I am in awe of the light she is shining on my existence. Today I want to share
with you this precious little gem from Jeddah's 'Saying yes to life' meditation
in her Pathways series:
"Treat your body to a warm open 'yes,' even if you don’t know what you're saying
'yes' to. Simply welcome this moment as it is. Notice the sense of completeness,
wholeness, contentment that comes."
"We can feel content for no reason, just simply because we allowed ourselves to
be content. In this way, we unhook ourselves from the mind, from its insistence
upon reason: you must have a good reason to feel content. Who says?
"We can welcome contentment at any time. It is not dependent upon sorting out
messes, taking care of business. Contentment is not when all of those little
bits have been attended to and this is the prize. If that is the process we are
working under, then contentment will always stay beyond our reach because the
mind will bring up the next thing to solve, the next quandary to ponder. And
when we feel that when we get this done, then [we'll feel content] -- it's
always in the future.
"But a simple little 'yes' says I welcome contentment into this moment right
now. I don't have a reason; I don't need a reason. Reasons belong to the mind;
contentment belongs to the soul."
"When we cannot find contentment in ourselves, it is useless to seek
it elsewhere."
~ Francois
De La Rochefoucauld ~
