No matter how healthy we live, how much kindness, generosity or fairness we practice or how positive we are, life can become too overwhelming and push us to our edges juggling way too many balls that seem humanly possible. Often our first impulse is to speed up, work harder, become relentless with activity accessing our survival warrior instinct to recreate stability. Important yes, but staying in this mode for too long burns out our adrenal system. Equally needed is to go into the river of quiet stillness, slow down the inner pace, sitting through our feelings of discomfort, access our inner warrior for guidance, releasing our burden to a higher source and listening for strength and clarity on how to best navigate a pathway through the outer demands to make space for a new way of being.
