The medicine for when you feel "in between"

 
 

There seems to be an air of being “in between” in “limbo”, as if we were leaving the old but not quite arriving to the new. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And this place, for me, has been a deeply revealing one. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s made me confront all my mind’s wants and needs to plan, control, resolve. Frustration. Impatience. How unbearable “stuckness” can feel (this is coming from a person that has 5 placements in sagittarius! 😂). ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And yet, as the months have passed I’ve started to embrace more and more being in the bridge. It came out of necessity, if I’m honest. The only option that led to something resembling peace. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
At some point saying yes to the present moment felt like the only solace I could find. Without fail, my body nudges me when my mind drifts off to the past or the future. It tenses, becomes anxious, stressed, worried, fearful. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So I have been learning to rest in there here and now. Bringing back my attention to the little things that are alive within me and around me. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Every time I’m reminded by my body that I’ve wonder off, I come back again and again. As many times as I need it. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Patience has entered my life as the invitation. The teacher. An active state of being (not passive at all, as we often assume).⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Learning from her sweet and effortless way of relaxing into the here and now is medicine to my soul. Her total approval of everything that is. How she opens up, without a single attempt to push, change, fix anything. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And although I still have oh so much to learn... Patience has become my constant meditation. A prayer I dance with my mind, soul, and body.
