Where Do I Abide?

The past eight months or so have been filled with challenges on every level of our human experience: mental, emotional, physical. Our country remains challenged by a virus that likes colder weather, ongoing relationship challenges caused by isolation and/or too much togetherness, the election results, and the transition as we move toward a new administration. It's a lot. This is a good time to gently look at how you are doing. Are you having more good days than bad or the opposite, more bad/down days than good?

It might be wise to consider how much time you are spending wishing things were different. Where does your trust, your faith, lie? Are you going through the motions of living or are you abiding in the Truth of Your Soul? Have you ever given much thought to abiding as opposed to merely living? There is a difference. If your heart is beating and you are relatively healthy and aware, you are alive. If you are, for the most part, living without trying to figure everything out or control how everything unfolds, then you are abiding or dwelling in the present moment. Let yourself feel the difference and the connection between the two. Living is existing. Abiding is be-ing; it is a dwelling place.

These affirmations or mantras, can be helpful in easing you out of merely existing into abiding in the Divine Presence within you:

I abide in the Peace of my Soul.

I abide in the Truth of my Soul.

I abide in the Knowing of my Soul.

I abide in the Love of my Soul.

I abide in the Healing of my Soul.

I abide in the Abundance of my Soul.

I abide in the Contentment of my Soul.

I abide in the Wisdom of my Soul.

I abide in the Oneness of my Soul.

I abide in the Essence of my Soul.

Namaste.
