We've all walked beside slow moving streams and almost never moving ponds and have been greeted by murky stale water. Now that the picture has been painted how does your murky flow look in your everyday life? I hear it everyday from every shape of profession or just hanging out in the hood, "I don't have time for this or that. I don't want to try new things because I keep failing. Don't ask me for help because that's not what this is all about." We are masters at making sure we don't wade through the murky waters of those around us. Over the past few years the shades of the murkiness have changed due to the climate of the subjects we bring. Brilliant relationships have been swallowed up due to someone's openness about politics, religion or how to cook the better burger. The murky waters of life that seem to be flooding every step you take have led your path into what's called Ghosting. Nobody writes to you. Hardly anybody returns your calls. What did you do wrong? What's in your murky water? Julia Cameron from the Artist Way goes even deeper. How your closet looks is the perfect picture of who you are in real life. How consumed is your refrigerator? The backseat of your car? In an age of constant connection there's a lot of separate journey's materializing with the opposite party denying it. Your murky waters and cluttered closets are endlessly being fed by the actions and reactions of how people are treating you and or kicking you out of the cool kids club. Of coarse I'm gonna talk about meditation and Yoga Nidra. Both are brilliant tools in bringing peace back into your chapters and not weighing you down with invisible guilt, doubt and fear. If life was meant to have friendships lasting longer than a few years then you'd still be hanging out with your elementary buddies. There are some that are. They're lucky! As we inch closer to the holidays it gets tough for the mind body and soul to realize that it's ok to stand in murky water. You don't have to battle the loneliness game by creating fake conversations or searching for love interests on the web. Take in the moment by cleaning out your closet. Don't open your heart. You've got enough in there. Clear it. Get used to the scent of your murky water. Once things begin to clear you'll be amazed at how beautiful your pond is.
