Find the Stillness Within
You Just Have to Find It
During perimenopause, it can feel as if our bodies and minds are both raging storms. The fact is, this is true. What is happening is that these whirlwinds of emotions and changes are creating what is actually the perfect storm in which you can be guided to find true stillness, perhaps for the first time in your life.
Pressure Creates Diamonds
In this perfect storm, we are being given a gift. The journey of perimenopause is chance to find true stillness. It is as if something is telling us to finally learn to calm ourselves down. Not through others or with a glass of wine. A vacation won’t cut it here either. These are all short-term fixes. We have to learn to connect with the stillness within. This stillness comes from time, wisdom, and experience. Learning how to find your stillness is a call to evolve.
Doing the Work
To let ourselves get caught up in the storms of life as we have in the past won't work anymore. The frustration you feel is a sign that you are not truly nurturing yourself. Stop living an outward focused life and tend to your own body and soul. You are being called to find you calm. Once you find it, it will always be there for you as a resource.
The Healing
If you can find 100% pure sandalwood essential oil, it can be a great ally to help quiet the storms swirling inside us. Sandalwood grounds us, yet helps us connect to our spiritual selves. It pulls us inwards and brings us to a place of stillness. To use it during this healing, you can smell it directly from the bottle, add a drop to a scent tester trip, or place a drop on your wrists (or any other area where you feel called to do so).
Slow your breathing and allow yourself to connect with the energy deep within your body. This is about going inside. Feel yourself settle there. Feel the safety and quiet of this special place. Begin to breathe deeply into this area. Create a special place - an altar or a temple etc. That makes you feel calm and collected. Nothing is out of reach. This is your space. Make it as you see fit. What does it smell like? What are the textures? Is there any sound? What vibration does it carry? Linger here as long as you would like. Get comfortable. Know this is yours. Acknowledge this space in your inner core as your sanctuary of stillness. Know that you can access it at any moment. Ask your soul what it needs to bring this stillness into your everyday life. Know that you can come here whenever you'd like, even if just for a few seconds during a busy moment. This calm sanctuary is always in you. Know this.
When you are ready, open your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and note the differences in your body and mind.
