I'm so happy that January has brought me some a-ha moments. I spent five days with my mama, who is 88. She is having short-term memory problems, but the gift of the memory loss is that she feels free. She told me she feels like time has no meaning. I witnessed Mama telling me about experiences in her life which were happening now, according to her, but in linear time they were about 80 years ago. I was in her bedroom and didn't leave her side except to go to hot yoga. I was not sleeping much, and to my surprise, the whole trip to Pennsylvania felt like one long day. I also lost linear time! It was a sense of freedom to me as well. I could just BE, without the list of errands to run or people to please. That was a gift.
Many books and spiritual practices speak about our human invention of time, and in ancient days, there really was not a definite frame, except for the moon cycles and seasonal cycles.
When I ask my friends who meditate to share with me their experiences with leaving their bodies, they tell me leaving the body through meditation is a release of the earthly time constraints. We can visit whomever, wherever, and whenever we choose. It takes a conscious choice, and repetitive practice. Then the belief system kicks in (when we practice something with regularity).
Dr. Christianne Northrup writes in Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom that our biography leads to our biology. She says our life story and experiences lead to our beliefs about ourselves, and our body physically works in congruence to keep the story true. So, in order to change any negative thoughts, and the negative physiological responses resulting from those negative self beliefs, we must first take on new and different experiences (with repeated actions) that lead to a new belief system, and therefore healing in the body symptoms and conditions may occur.
So, work with yourself, here, now. Say, "I love myself forever, and I'm a valuable entity with much to share with this place." Say it often, affirming the timelessness of the statement. We humans created the clocks and calendars. I do not believe those tools were intended to increase stress in our lives.
Take a moment to embrace your family and friends who show love through action and words, who support you, regardless of the time spent apart. Have you had a close friendship with someone whom you haven't seen in years, and then when you reconnect it is like picking up the thread of a conversation started eons ago? I have! That's when I realized instantaneously that love has no time barriers either.
Know that it is okay to love someone completely and to disagree with them completely too (because there is no time, really). You cannot speed up understanding. We humans are generally people pleasers, especially women. When we stand in our power, the reaction from others may be strong. And, that is okay. If time heals all wounds, and time is not linear, then we can choose to heal now! I want to hear from you! Please share with me your thoughts and feelings on the subject.
