energy follows our focus

For the past few months I have been wallowing in a heavy sea of life change which has created great confusion in my mind. So, no blogging (what an ugly word!). Yes, it has been a testing time. However, that has given me experiences which are worth drawing from, so I can now start to fit some more pieces into the jigsaw of life. Or, put another way, perhaps I should see this as a new beginning, a rebirth into another stage of life. Yes, life has changed and so have I. Or, so must I!

This all makes me think of what Rob Nairn ("Living, Dreaming, Dying") said to us in July: that "energy follows our focus" - what we are thinking about now will evolve into our future karma. I now feel this is so important: if I am thinking positively now I will receive a positive outcome; but, if I am thinking negatively then the outcome for me will be negative which will cause me suffering. So, if I can draw positive conclusions from these past few months, then I can enhance my future life and build and grow upon what has gone before. Maybe that's obvious but it is certainly worth the effort to try and overcome those negative thought patterns which have plagued my life in the past. Memories and thoughts have energy, after all, and that energy can be healthy and uplifting or it can be heavy and debilitating. And it affects not only me but also those around me. So, every single thought and memory I have is very important for my health and well-being. That's a salutary thought, isn't it, something I need to remember as I live each moment of each day seeking happiness and fulfilment. And, if it is true for me, then surely it is true for everyone.

So, I have now lost both my parents and I have moved my home to another country. That's why it's time for a new beginning.
