So, what does it mean to be the Witness?
Swami Kripalu taught about the non judgmental witness... he said the highest spiritual practice is self observation with compassion.
How are you to yourself?
Are you kind to others and then beat yourself up for imagined inadequacies?
Can you just BE the observer, the witness, and let things pass through...it's so hard right?
Can you just be the one who watches your thoughts and not react?
Danna Faulds Poem says it all
When I can be the witness,
all manner of miracles occur –
old wounds heal, the past
reveals itself to be released,
present dramas play themselves
out without sinking emotional
talons into my soft skin. The
witness welcomes truth and
dares to meet reality on its
own terms. It is the ground
in which the seeds of
transformation take root
and finally flower. When
the witness is awake, the
lake of mind is still, and
in that mirrored surface,
I see my own true face as
Spirit smiling back at me
HAPPY MONTH OF LOVE TO YOU!
Be the Witness and let it all unfold...and The Universe will deliver!
