Reseeding yer soul
When navigating through turbulent periods of transition, it’s essential to have a grasp on your innermost truths.
Why?
When we are over-focused on our practices at the detriment to purpose and values, life can feel and become chaotic. Like a pinball in a pinball machine, we swing from one change to another with no insight into how we should move forward and why. Working from the centre and doing the ‘inner work’ by (re-)evaluating what is personally important to us ensures that our outer work is aligned with purpose.
Creating a grounded centre means we have somewhere to return to, rest in and work from throughout transition, change and other uncertain times.
What do I mean by grounded centre?
Much like a seed bomb you can plant in soil before Spring, a grounded centre is packed full of the nutrients and resources you need in order to move with curiosity, clarity and wonder during turbulent times.
A grounded centre doesn’t mean that you don’t feel the effects of change - wild excitement, anxious lows - but it does help in riding out the change, as well as with the ability to be curious about where it’s taking you.
Reseeding your soul includes understanding your deepest callings and intentions, your guiding enquiries, your values and practices, and the roles of others (people, places, more-than-humans) in anchoring you in a state of belonging with the world at large.
This may all sound a bit wanky, but authentic values attract people and opportunities that align with our purpose; through practising those values it’s possible to build a solid sense of identity and belonging in the wider world. We begin to understand instinctively what should be let go of, what should be nurtured and what should be allowed to emerge. We can even start to feel less anxious as we learn to slow down and feel what is right and what is wrong in real time.
This understanding doesn’t happen in a day, or a week, or even a month. It’s often easy get pulled back into the speed of ‘business as usual’, and when that happens we forget how to slow. We forget the importance of returning to rest in the centre. It’s lifetime work, and it can start now.
