InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
August 27, 2024
The focus for today is:
I choose to take care of the cause of a problem
before it develops into a full-blown challenge.
Today's inspiration was written by Marie T. Russell:
The body will send us messages as needed. It will make us think about taking a bottle of water with us. Do it now! It will give us a flash of eating a salad. Do it now, whether eating it or preparing it! It will remind us to take our vitamins. Do it now! It will let us know we need a nap. Do it now!
The problem with humans is that we rationalize, we procrastinate, we evaluate, we debate, etc. etc., sometimes ad infinitum. When we listen to our body (and our intuition), we are living in the moment. We take care of business as it comes up.
It's best to listen immediately to the messages our body (and our world) is sending us so that we truly practice preventative care. We can choose to take care of the source of the problem before it develops into a full-blown explosion of pain and disease.

RELATED BOOK: Radical Regeneration
Radical Regeneration: Sacred Activism and the Renewal of the World
by Andrew Harvey and Carolyn Baker
What is being made crystal clear is that humanity stands at a monumentally fragile threshold with two stark choices placed before it in a situation of complete uncertainty. Those choices are: 1) To continue to worship a vision of power, totally distanced from sacred reality 2) Or to choose the path of submitting bravely to the alchemy of being transfigured by a global dark night event that shatters all illusions but reveals the greatest imaginable possibility being born out of the greatest imaginable disaster.
If humanity chooses the second path, which is what is being celebrated in this book, then it will have trained itself in the new radical unity necessary to weather even worse crises.
