Lesson of (Mis)alignment


When the body is out of physical alignment, all sorts of issues can and do arise.  Discomfort, pain, a state of not being at ease.  So too when we are out of alignment with our soul’s purpose.  We feel irritable, uncomfortable, quick to anger, sad or even depressed.  This isn’t to mean that we should be beating ourselves up in any way that we have shifted away from our purpose.  We may not recognize the reason why we feel the way we do is due to misalignment or perhaps we are aware but not sure what to do about it.  One of the greatest remedies is to get quiet and learn comfort in our own skin.  It doesn’t have to be in seated contemplation which doesn’t feel ideal for many people.  It can be a purposeful walking or moving meditation where all of the thoughts drift in and out like clouds, emotions are observed, stories are witnessed and become gently aware of the gaps between it all.  In between thoughts and feelings are spaces of nothingness and in those gaps comes creativity and shifts and that my friends, is where we meet back into an understanding of our higher purposes, back into alignment.
