August 2023 Week 2

How is August shaping up for you? I am midway through the 3 day cleanse and feel clear headed and energized. This cleansing time is always very reflective for me as I use it for intense self study and pausing. I made a journal prompt worksheet for everyone and I have been working my way through the questions. In addition, I am following a meditation series on the Daily Om and today was prompted a series of questions that I want to share with you. Our intention this month - “The truth that lives within me is the only guide I need” has reinforced my need to turn inward in this very busy and chaotic time of year. As Yogi Bhajan said: “Right within you there is a feeble, simple, unoffending, absolutely knowledgeable, little conscious voice. It talks. It’s not loud. It’s very soft.”
Use the following questions to help tune into your soft, unoffending and absolutely knowledgeable voice and then most importantly trust it, trust yourself.

1.What is your soul's desire right now? If there were one inner state that you could experience on an ongoing basis, what would it be? Would you like to live in a state of love, in a state of peace, in a state of contentment, in a state of passion?

2.Why do you want this? How will your life shift if you have this? How will it benefit the people around you? How will it benefit the world?

3.What shifts do you need to make or what do you need to do in your internal world? Is there a practice you need to put in place? Do you need to be nice to yourself, say nice things to yourself?

4.What action could you take or what do you need to do externally to have more of that state of being you desire? Is there a specific action or structure that will support you?

Take a few moments and see what your soul tells you, enjoy the self reflection!!!
