""Forget about enlightenment.
Sit down wherever you are
And listen to the wind singing in your veins.
John Welwood
We spend so much energy trying to please or impress others, there is little time left to meet our own needs. As children, we sense our parents or teachers are constantly watching our every move. We become self-conscious worrying about what others are thinking. We feel pushed into a success story or some form of fame.
As years pass, we gather insight and no longer care about an audience. If anything we may struggle with feelings of being invisible. We may feel under appreciated, neglected or taken for granted. We question our importance in living this life.
When we distract the over active mind and allow our desires to surface, we begin to gain a stronger sense of self. We no longer care as much about others, and invest our energy into meeting our own needs. If we push the chaos of life back, we finally hear the wind singing in our veins. A deep sense of connection takes place, encouraging us to return to who we were always meant to be.
