Listening to your Natural Rhythms
Slowing down and listening to our own natural rhythm will facilitate healing can quickly connect us to the Universe.
Nature's natural rhythms orchestrate when day turns to night, when flowers must bloom, and provides the cue for when it is time for leaves to fall from trees. As human beings, our own inner rhythm is attuned to this universal sense of timing. Guided by the rising and setting of the sun, changes in temperature, and our own internal rhythm, we know when it is time to sleep, eat, or be active. While our minds and spirits are free to focus on other pursuits, our breath and our heartbeat are always there to remind us of life's pulsing rhythm that moves within and around us.
When we move to this rhythm, we actually know when it is time to stop working and when to rest. However, pushing our bodies to work beyond their natural rhythm diminishes our ability to renew and recharge, and creates a feeling much like jet lag, which lets us know when we’ve over-ridden our natural rhythm. . When you feel the frantic calls of all you want to accomplish impelling you to move faster than is natural for you, stop and breathe deeply instead. Look at nature moving to its own organic timing: waves crashing on the beach, birds flying south, leaves shedding, or snow falling. A walk in Mother Nature will always re-attune you to her organic rhythm, while allowing you to move back in time with your own. When you move to your natural rhythm, you can achieve all you need to do, but with less effort.
We may even notice that our soul moves to its own internal natural rhythm, especially when it comes to our personal evolution.
Comparing ourselves to others is unnecessary. Worry is unnecessary. It is always best to move to our own internal timing, while keeping time with the rhythm of nature. Slow down, release control and surrender to the natural rhythms of universal timing. The universe can organize itself. The embryo doesn’t need to figure out how to become a baby. The bud doesn’t need to figure out how to blossom. Nature has its plan figured out. Or look at it this way- think of a pile of iron shavings- what’s the best way to form the shavings into a pattern? Using your fingers or introducing a magnet? Your internal rhythm is like a magnet: there’s a spirit within you moving to that rhythm that naturally attracts all the patterns and details that would form your most beautiful life.
