Trust The Path As It Unfolds...
We have come over to Emeral's for coffee and cake... It is renowned for its amazing array of scrumptious delicacies!
And it was Anadi's idea...!
This from a man who didn't drink coffee or eat sugar when I met him, or meat or gluten or dairy, or anything very much other than vegetables and rice...
I certainly never asked him to change any of this, or imagined he would, as that was how he was choosing to live...
But all of that has changed totally, to the extent he has suggested this outing!
The old way of living just fell away, and the way he lives now suits him, he says, he feels well and healthy...
I notice that the only way for change is for things to fall away... If we are relaxed within, then our ways often change, and if the changes are coming from relaxation and an absence of tension then we can rest into them and trust our inner wisdom knows best...
My own experience of healing, has been a falling away of tension, tension that lead to an eating disorder in my teens and twenties, to over training and pushing too hard in my running, to over thinking and analysing...
All this has fallen away, to the extent that I feel sometimes I could do with running abit more than I do!
It was June 2011, I was running fast along Eastbourne seafront, when my knee suddenly made the sound of a gunshot... I stopped on a sixpence and sat on a bench in the warm summer drizzle, reflecting that this might be the end of my running,..
Over the next six weeks I spent my time in the sea rather than on the land, as I let my knee rest and heal... I remember one day walking up the beach and knowing it was time to fully 'let go'
These five years have certainly been very different, but also very similar to what I have known; the same but different from the inside out... I met Anadi, and my life has taken off on a nomadic journey which has asked me to let go of everything to another level, both actually and metaphorically...
From the outside, everything looks much the same... My knee got better and running started again and so on I have gone along my running path - along my life path - working with people, spending time with friends and my travelling companion, moving about the globe... I have done these things all of my life in some way or another...
The letting go is an inner thing and is ongoing... And I find I trust the path, as it unfolds in front of me, more than ever before...
