A Place of Being

lizaaitken

There are so many things I’ve wanted to be and so many things I’ve been.  

Do we ever really know what’s good for us or where our life is going. Maybe it’s just about remaining open to adventure, open to experience and learning. If life is a lesson then I’m a good way through, I’ve taken note along the way and taken part in some practical experiments. I have photographic evidence and have made a number of conclusions. Millions of thoughts have crossed my mind and a number of questions have been answered.

I have not reached the outcome yet but I’m closer to understanding what it might look like. I’ve evolved, transformed and renewed and continue to do so in the hope that I might at some point reach a place of being.

Just Being

lizaaitken

When you feel unconnected, out of sorts, confused and just not with it. Treat yourself to a little nothingness. Imagine yourself just being, become if you can, a flower opening.  Just be in this space for whatever time you have and enjoy those moments of opening, feel yourself expanding out into the world.  As you open each petal, know you have everything you need to move forward, connect and watch the confusion you felt just drop away.

Becoming One

lizaaitken

Meditate and become one with nature, bloom like a flower, spread out like a tree, want for nothing that is not already here.  You will then become at one with all things, the flowers, the trees, the skies and rivers.  Connected to this eternal life source you can experience the essence just being, travel anywhere and be part of everything.

Nature Lessons 142

lizaaitken

Our constant thoughts prevent us from just being, they keep us occupied and away from ourselves.  Can you imagine a life without all these systems that keep us occupied, where like the flowers in nature, we can just ‘be’.  Flowers teach us to put away our thoughts and come into being, they teach us to grow.

Silence – DP

lizaaitken

Silence is where I find myself,

where the true authentic self lives.

A restful place of peace and love, 

it is there my true heart gives.

Gives way to the spirit I truly am,

connects the observing one.

In silence I go to make sense of myself,

mend scars I’ve left undone.

I go deeply into just being,

where fears and complexities lie.

Find harmony in a natural state,

transform like a butterfly.
