Anyone feeling a little off-kilter? I thought so. It’s hard not to feel out of sorts these days. Never mind global events, public health, worsening storms, heat and so on…. many of us spent the summer busily having fun, traveling, seeing family and friends. It can be a little much.
So, now feels like the opportune time to revisit our centers, to reacquaint ourselves with what we know to be true about ourselves.
Living from your center is powerful and affirming but it is not a specific place to cling to. When I think about my center, I consider it as an energetic, fluid space from which to operate/emanate. I don’t think of it as a solid, immoveable structure. Your power is in the fluidity and sense of spaciousness that is in your true center.
Your center is not… that voice that declares itself right or hurt or justified. Your center is not that pang in your heart when you feel disconnected.
You can explore the energy of the center with this terrific Centering exercise from the Strozzi Institute. You can see my demo of it on our YouTube channel (and while you are there, please consider subscribing! We regularly post new guided meditations and exercises for your well-being there).
What helps you find your center? What do you know to be true about your center?
