Experience a nicer cake

17/6/2013

Imagine we don't like our current experience of life and we struggle. It's painful, we are stressed and not happy at all. But let's use a metaphor... Our life is a cake and we don't like it: it is completely burnt, tastes bitter and we are fed up with it. Now if we really end up with such a horrible cake we just bin it and go back to the kitchen. There we find the necessary equipment, the ingredients and electricity to power up the process. It's the same with our life!!!


Make a nice cake!!"The nicer the ingredients the nicer the cake!!" my Gran used to say... and she was right!! Let's say the ingredients are our thoughts, brought to life by the power of consciousness (=the equipment: mixer, oven, dish etc.) which blends and bakes the ingredients to take shape in the form of a cake (=our life). All is powered up by the energy behind life=electricity.

Some approaches suggest we should think more positive and it sounds the right thing to do..... but would we really go and change the ingredients of our burnt cake to make a nicer one?? How would that work? We would need to analyze it first to find out what's wrong with it, then take it apart, separate one ingredient from the others and then exchange it to something more positive, put it all together again and then press it back into the form and......... do you think this will end up being a nice cake? I think it is rather a mess LOL...... but that's what we do when we try to better our experience of life!! In my case it got worse and worse, until I realized that the trick is to see how it really works! The set-up in the kitchen is already installed in each and every one of us and we know that. Because sometimes we "manage" to create a nice experience, for example when we fall in love! And that is effortless, we didn't try to feel good then!! All we need to do is to allow it to happen..........

To make a better cake we would also never go out there and look for something else. Sausages or even ice cream just don't do it if we want nice home made cake. Of course you could buy a cake but it's like living somebody else's life. It's not yours... But at any time can we go back to the utensils we already have and bake our own unique cake. The less we interfere with the process the more beautiful the cake will taste. It's the only way and it's effortless because it is powered up by the energy behind all life...... All we need to do is go back to the kitchen and allow the creative process to do its stuff naturally... And then enjoy the cake.

Happy creating!!

Knowing prevents seeing with fresh eyes

I have just been for my run again. Am sorry if that is a bit boring after my last post but I have just realized something I would like to share with you and the story about my run just illustrates it.

Today I struggled. It was the most difficult run I have ever done and all the way I thought I was slower than ever, my legs were heavier and all along I was fighting against wanting to give up and just walk. My mind was busy although I kept reminding myself that I was creating lots of stress! None the less I managed to do the same route like the other day and even against a much stronger wind! And at the end a huge surprise awaited me when I checked the time and I had done it in less than 27 minutes!!! The fastest one ever!! :-) wow!!

While I was doing my stretching afterwards I was reflecting how that can be......... and then it dawned on me!! I have created lots of expectations and beliefs around that run and my physical fitness and I was now seeing it all through those eyes!! I think I know this run now and so I have lots of thinking about it before I am even there..... No wonder my mind is busy comparing all the information in my head with what I actually find along the way and trying to make sense of it!! It was weighing heavy on my shoulders while I could have really enjoyed it... if I had only been aware of just being present with it... Surely we might not feel the same every day and the same route can be easier some days than others. But I made it difficult for myself because I didn't allow myself to see the run and my own abilities with "fresh eyes" and just see what unfolds...... And, all that would have been necessary, was just to realize what I was doing and to let the natural equilibrium reappear in just getting myself out of the way.... So all that is ever required to get back to peace of mind, is to stop messing around with a system that already functions perfectly.......

Now am just wondering how many things we see a certain way because we think "we know"...... 
more to reflect on LOL.............. ;-)

We can do it!!

This morning I did not want to get out of my bed!! I was thinking about the route I ran last Friday and thought I would never be able to run that far again. It actually appeared absolutely impossible to me that I could have ever managed to run to that farm on the other side of the fields and back at all!! Now I call this running LOL somebody else might call it Granny-Walking but if you consider that only three years ago I wasn't even able to walk 50 metres without being in agony, 3,5 km in 28 minutes is not too bad ;-)

I only got out of bed and into my running shoes because I happened to think that "just in case I could simply go for a walk". Once I got out there I thought to give it a go and started running... Halfway round I couldn't believe that I was actually enjoying this and was quite keen to make it faster this time!! Well, I didn't in the end but the point is...

We can do it!! We actually can do what we think we can do, and sometimes even more....... If only we don't listen to this negative little voice inside of our head all the time!! I could have easily stayed in bed, not gone out at all or limited myself to "just" a walk!

Now if we understand that all our feelings come from the way we think, we don't have to buy into that feeling of inadequacy and fear of failing which was the reason for me to wanting to stay in bed. My experience naturally shifted when I suddenly thought that I had nothing to loose if I at least go for a walk, which got me out of bed. Once I was outside it shifted again, thinking that I could give it a try at least and would be able to stop at any time..... With every fresh thought my way of seeing this run changed and in the end I even became competitive! And although I didn't quite manage to beat my time, 29 minutes against the wind compared to staying in bed really made my day!!

And this is true for anything we can experience in life!! How often do we give in and don't do what we fancy to do because of doubts, fears or other negative feelings?? Try to see, this negative voice in our heads is only our thinking! We are making it up! And it is not necessarily true!! So lets be aware of what we want to believe as we are the creators of all our limitations...
