Everything answers the call to home

 Everything answers the call to home. Hiro Boga



What do you consider home? What do you answer the call to?

Is it a space where you grew up, a house? Is it in nature? Is it a spot on a bench? A song? 

Where do you go when you get a calling back to Self?

What I have learnt is, the call to home becomes a whisper when we lead busy lives, when it is ignored life will show up more and more loudly to get your attention. What get's you to stop in your tracks? that is what life will do.

The call to home may or may not be a painful one - you get to choose. The more self aware you are, the more you are able to hear the whisper.

According to Hiro Boga, that call can emerge as restlessness, emptiness, a longing for something as-yet unnamed. We work harder, or party more. We hang onto relationships that leave our hearts blighted, or we buy stuff . . . 

When we go searching for "home" outside of ourselves, we remain dissatisfied, it cannot be found. The call to home is an inside job.

Listen to your body, to your soul and recognize that there is a space inside you which will always be home. You have to go inside, go to the space, locate the peace and be unwavering about it. If you go there consistently there is guidance and lessons and wisdom and love there.


Peace

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe...
