MONTH – TAURUS
WEEK – MIND
CHAKRA – ANKLES
We begin our day in the chakra Ankles, in the Mental week of Taurus energy, and being the origin of all destiny, the concept of the day manifests: Comfort.
Word that has a certain connotation of use, or misuse, we can ask ourselves: in what are we comfortable? How do we perceive comfort in us and what does it represent to us? What about the comfort of others? Does it affect us? Does it bother us when we see that someone is more comfortable than they should be? Do we relate comfort with laziness? Perhaps with profiteering? Why?
We have already talked about the fact that every concept must be used in its right measure, in full balance and coherence. There are concepts that have a propensity to be used in a distorted way, and this one in particular, leads the way. Human beings seek comfort. He avoids having to overwork, to consume more energy than he can get, and this has a reason: in case a person consumes all his energy, and does not incorporate anything, he dies.
But, as technological development evolved exponentially, human beings found more and more comfort and less effort to develop, something wonderful because of the time it leaves them to do other things they could not do before, given the time they spent on certain obligations, and that, today, a machine does it in a matter of seconds, and that saved time can be used to do what they like the most. As with everything else, the problem lies in what you like and what you use that available time for.
And here appears with great virulence the marketing, advertising, the way to capture the attention of a person to use that available time to do what the advertisement marks, either to buy products you do not need, play games that only serve to have an ability to react with a joystick, or how to press a button to kill an opponent in a virtual mortal combat.
And the time we have for convenience, we use it to waste it in an unconscious, unbalanced and incoherent way. How much time we dedicate to watch an online series, to play games on the net, to watch social networks, to watch pornography, to watch reality shows giving our opinion about people’s lives, and forgetting to live our own, because the comfort of watching others while we are sitting in our comfortable armchair in the living room, makes us play gods in their comfort without doing anything but judging others. And we don’t even think about doing something with our own lives.
We are so comfortable in that way, that when we try to get up to move our body, we realize that it is so numb that even our joints hurt. And again we sit down. And it gets worse and worse.
Obviously, comfort serves to find substitutes and take advantage of our time to do things we really need. And what do we need? To work on everything we have come to experience in our life path. It is hardly to stay in an armchair watching what others are doing. Our essence dictates that we are the protagonists of our history, that we must move, exercise, work, make our life full movement. To have experiences, to live each day to the fullest and with everything we have, to love what we do, to demand of ourselves as much as we want, to rest as much as necessary to recover energy, to enjoy every moment, to feel full.
For this we will focus on the comfort of our essence, in finding everything we need to walk our path in harmony, without losing sight of what we really have to do in this life, to expand our soul, our heart, feelings, unconditional love, to work our body, to demand it to be in shape, to find moments of comfort, but also to make it feel uncomfortable at some point so that it is alert, to continue spending the energy that frees us from all the pressure, from the negative flows that can reach us from the outside and that we need to follow their path and not stay in us.
Being able to meditate every day will lead us to our balance, to act in coherence and from the center of our being. It will also allow us to recognize the healthy comfort in us, and to remove the comfort that distorts us, knowing that it is not good for our life path.
That is why, on this day, we honor the comfort in us, necessary to eliminate everything that is redundant in our path and that other tools can do, and knowing what is important for us to do, even if it is not comfortable, because it has to do with the need to be in balance, in coherence and harmony with our being, to walk our path without distortion, towards eternal fullness.
At the end of the exercise, I invite everyone to perform the meditation of the day.
