If you are lucky, you finally lie down on the long-awaited sun lounger, with the sun beating down on your face, warming your body, and finally permitting yourself to stop. You already know this, actually! How many times have you waited so desperately for something in your life, like a holiday.only to finally get there and that damn voice in your head which has been consistently complaining is still talking! Still trying to run the show!? The part of you constantly judging and having strong opinions about everyone and everything can never be permanently fulfilled. The part of you which is consistently looking for something outside of you in order to feel complete or loved or happy is the very part of you which can never experience those things permanently. For example, how would you feel if some of those things or people weren't in your life anymore? If, on the other hand, your life is comfortable - also, good job! Isn't comfort lovely?Ĭomfort can also be a little dangerous! There is a very high chance your happiness is based on things on the outside. How is your life right now? Is it uplifting, exciting, enjoyable, rewarding? Or is it uncomfortable? Do you want certain things to change? If there is discomfort, well done you! You really want to celebrate this.īeing uncomfortable is a superb playground for opening yourself up and making exciting changes and discoveries within you. Congratulations!īut, what does that even mean? It may seem like life is about achieving things, acquiring things, and creating awesome experiences - which, of course, is all part of the path you have taken and will continue to live. Whether you realise it or not, you are on a path of consciousness. They open us up to more - more awareness, more joy, more gratitude, more love - more magic! These moments are a huge gift in our journey of life this journey of Self-realisation. Also, until that day, I had no idea just how incredibly beautiful the natural world is. At that time, I thought that peace could only be experienced up a mountain, away from everything and everyone. I didn't know this was possible until then, and I vowed to myself to make hillwalking a huge priority in my life. Being so empty of myself there was space and time to absorb everything in front of me, and the realisation I could actually experience peace. That day in the mountains, however, the “Aha!” moment came with the experience of just simply being and simply experiencing. The daily schedule was so tightly packed there was no space to simply be - it was all about doing. Waking up to Chopin études being played perfectly at 6am hearing my fellow pupils effortlessly racing through scales, arpeggios and studies each morning was quite disturbing - on many levels! And so noisy! Forty kids practising instruments all day long! At the time, our usual daily lives were consumed with attending a music school, where everything was stressful and intense.
