Being Empty
When we fast we empty. We're offered the process of moving through our habitual thoughts and toxic feelings more rapidly and completely. When we see and feel the heavy thoughts and feelings we can have greater resolution and execution of dropping them. We are stronger in Body/Mind and with that strength and intent we let go of our attachments to anything that is not well for us, our loved ones, and the world. By letting go of the "attached" baggage, we become empty. We have emptied our cup, our vessel, and are ready to be filled with insights and inspirations!
When we're empty we're more open, more aware, more sensitive. We open to the good, the bad, and the ugly. Our awareness heightens our sensitivity to the pain and suffering in the world. With tears falling from our Heart, we empathetically feel the hopelessness, fear, and horror that so many, too many, live day to day. Yet with resolve we pray for total cessation of the pain and suffering for all beings, no matter how impossible it may appear.
We then commit to taking better care of ourselves so that, in turn, we will take better care of all others. "Day by day, in every way, we are better and better", this innately becomes one's mantra. This is our Noble, Divine Spirit, singing out to all beings in all realms!
In Deep Devotion,
