Moon’s Zen Moment….
I have been feeling anxiety ridden this whole week, and tried many things to relieve and release it: praying to my sister Sun and to the Universe; reading spiritual books; writing; getting counseling from my family, etc. While such activities usually put me in a place of peace, they did not work this week.
Early this morning, I took a long walk, listening to music on Pandora. My station was playing all kinds of music that got me to walk more aerobically. However, as I was approaching my home, the mood of the last song totally shifted, which got my attention, so I listened closely. I entered my home, sat on the armchair, and focused on the music with my eyes closed. The song — “Machine Says Yes” by FC/Kahuna Hayling — slowly lifted me out of my fear and anxiety, placing me in such a deep Zen Moment…
The electronic undertone of the song combined with the most mystical voice of that of a muse or Goddess was mesmerizing….
The lyrics, which are so simple yet profound, just repeated over and over again…
“Don’t think about all those things you fear….just be glad to be here…”
“Don’t think about all those things you fear….just be glad to be here…”
“Don’t think about all those things you fear….just be glad to be here…”
Hearing and feeling the lyrics, “just be glad to be here,” I felt the Universe magically enveloping me with unconditional love and serenity, allowing me to be and feel one with it. At that moment, my anxieties just melted away like butter…in the here and now…
How can we deny the energies of this wondrous Universe that takes care of us every second of our lives by allowing us to just feel and be who we are…
So when your anxiety and fear run amok, like it did with me this week, remember: “Just be glad to be here…”
Namaste….
