You grow in the dark; trust the process
[MEDITATION INCLUDED!]
I don’t know about you, but October has been quite the month so far. Everything goes from one end to the other it seems. From feeling invincible to feeling like a total failure. From being fit and strong to getting all the signs of low immunity, including a complete thrown out back. From feeling loved to feeling all alone.
What IS it with this month? It appears there are some things up in the stars (but I’m definitely no expert on that) and of course this year is the weirdest we’ve ever seen…
October is, as always, a month to go inside and realize that from the dark comes light, from the dark comes life, from the dark you can grow, from the dark new things can come. Transformation only happens from the dark. For new things to come, you have to let go and accept and wait – be in the dark. And – I don’t know if this goes for you too, so to me at least – the most important one: for new things to come you have to TRUST, while you’re in the dark. So, that’s being in the dark. That’s being in October, basically.
I’ve always known this process very well. I don’t mind it so much, this being in the dark part. Maybe it’s because I’m an October child?
But do you recognize it? If you do, maybe I can share my go-to exercise for these kinds of times with you?
After this small exercise (it will only take about 2 minutes) you will feel trust in your journey again as well as in your process towards growth. You will know and feel that it’s okay that results aren’t always tangible, but that things need time to grow into existence.
So, here it is. You can choose to listen now or you can read the text.
2 minute meditation: You grow in the dark
Take deep, relaxed breaths, all the way down to the lowest part of your back, filling up your belly and definitely your lower back and pelvic area too. Feel the bottoms of your feet, feel that you can imagine energy from the earth going up, through your feet, up, up, up into you whole body. See in your mind’s eye that your body is filling up with light energy, maybe it has a color, like white or green. Let the space directly around your be filled up as well. Feel that because of this new, fresh energy the space inside your body gets roomier somehow. Your mind’s eye shifts and your body, enveloped with it’s light energy in the form of an egg is now in the ground. The person inside (you) is sleeping and has a soft happy smile on her face. You feel she knows it’s all well, everything is fine. She’s just growing, waiting, evolving. Try to really take in and own this comforting feeling coming from that person in her light egg. Take a moment and just witness. Then you can come back down into your own body in the present. See yourself float back into yourself. Call back your energy inside of you. And take with you this comforting trusting feeling.
