The message for this week is in water, and it comes from the pen of Jaiya John: Be deliberate about where you pour your water this week…
“Water will show you what freedom is. Try to destroy it and it changes form but retains its essence. Swallow it and you become it. Bottle it and it retains its grace. Pollute it and it remains open to be cleansed. Feed it to living things and they grow more alive. Your soul too can be water for the world.” – Jaiya John
“Pay close attention to what you choose to water. It will grow.” – Jaiya John
Water has such a strong symbology for humans, it seems that we easily grasp analogies of water. Make it an intention for this week to be aware of what it is that you water. Ask yourself these few questions and see if perhaps you need to re-direct your flow:
- What am I choosing to water? This could be anything from specific relationships and goals to our overall outlook and habits.
- Am I pouring my water in places where I do actually want to see growth? Is there an imbalance in how I’m distributing my resources?
- Am I spreading myself too thinly? Am I diluting my resources so that I don’t have enough water left for those places where I want to see growth?
- Am I wasting my water on barren ground that just won’t give any return? Remember, sometimes letting go is essential for growth.
If you don’t become deliberate about where you direct your attention then your water is like a leaking garden tap, which probably only cultivates the weeds growing right in your space.
However…
“No one says to a waterfall, ‘Maybe you shouldn’t pour out so much water.’ Pour out your love!” – Jaiya John
… once you have decided where to direct your energy, don’t let anyone tell you that you’re being too much! Don’t let anyone dim your light or stifle your passion. Embrace your authenticity and let your love flow freely!
Here are some guiding mantras to keep in mind as you embark on this journey of mindful watering:
- I am intentional with my energy and attention.
- I cultivate what truly matters in my life.
- I nurture positive growth and let go of what no longer serves me.
- I embrace my authenticity and share my love freely.
Hope you’re having an awesome week human beans!
