To Nourish and Nurture

​Winter is a time to curl up and read a book by the fire, to take a restorative rest from the pace of life in order to restore our inner being, ready for the blooms of Spring, new growth as we shed what we no longer need and re-emerge. Did you make a New Years Resolve or Resolution? Personally I don’t make the old resolutions of losing weight or ‘doing’ more exercise anymore, but prefer to resolve to be in Presence with each moment.  When life begins to ‘take over’ and my inner critic screams its drama’s, I resolve to stop and listen to Nature, to my breath, anything that engages me back into this moment, here and now, the Presence of Simply Being, but is not so simple to practice.  All  I can say is you are human and it will continue to draw you away, but it’s the practice of noticing and pausing that will help keep you grounded in Presence. Good luck, Om Shantih
