When we are feeling overwhelmed

When life gets us down
And we are feeling overwhelmed
That is our cue
To stop
To go outside
To feel the light of the sun
On our faces
Its warmth circulating through our beings
Allowing us to remember
It’s the Universe asking us
Willing us
To feel its abundance
Asking us to inhale deeply
Surrendering to all that is
Then leading us
To exhale slowly
Awakening us
To our essence self
Asking us to reconnect
To remember why we came here
To push aside all falsities
To cast aside all that is dragging us down
By directing us
To close our eyes
And feel the warmth of the sun
Embracing us
Its rays
Dancing behind our closed lids
Igniting the joy in our beings
The dancer in our soul
The poet that resides
Deep down inside
Of us all
We are all crafters
Of our story
Living proof of endurance
Peace and love
But sometimes we get so bogged down
In all the excess
That we neglect to reconnect
With what is
With who we are
With our Essence self
The One source
And as a result
We become lost
Trapped in the jungle
Of our thoughts
In other people’s story
And forget our own
We allow ourselves to be led astray
Wandering around in the dark
With our eyes wide open
But seeing nothing
It is those times
That the Universe
Is calling us
Asking us
To stop
To remember
Why we came here
What we asked to do here
To be of service to ourselves
And to those who cross our path
To not destroy
But to create
To not always take
But to give as well
To not lie about who we are
To not be ashamed of who we are
But to embrace our differences
As we are all of the Once Source
Connected by the silver cord
Weaving our stories together
To form the human story
Of connectedness
When we are feeling overwhelmed
When we feel like we can’t go on
It’s the Universe asking us
To go back to nature
To stand outside
To feel the rays of the sun
Permeating our mind
Our body
And
Our soul
Asking us to open our eyes
To the world that goes on
Lives on
Right in front of us
Every single day without fail
To open our eyes
To see the abundance that exists
Even when we believe there is none
Reminding us
We must step into our story
To be our story
To live our story
Only then will we know joy
And wonder again
Because we will remember
We are joy and wonder
Because we remember
Everyone has their story to tell
To live
And everyone of us
Have lessons to learn
Paths to cross
Journeys to take
With no one being better
Or worse than the other
So when we feel overwhelmed
Burdened
Frazzled
Remember
It’s the Universe nudging us
Willing us
To remember
It’s is our time
To stop
To express gratitude
For who we are
And why we are
Under the auspices of the radiant sun
Awakening the dancer
The poet
The weaver
Of our soul
To live again
To love again
To inhale our joy
And to exhale our pain
To remember who we are 
And
Why we are
The crafters of our own stories

Namaste
