It looks dark and scary in there, yet...
This post compliments the one on
where I wrote about the fear that lives in the space between needing and getting.
Have you noticed just how trying that space is? Especially when you don't register it but are under the influence of the tension (or terror!) that lives there? The more you don't notice, the more you act out from it, instead of responding to it. Your acting out (unconscious reacting) is unpleasant on the receiving end and so it narrows your chances of positive response from those nearby. Without somebody pausing for empathy, things can get more intense than any sensitive would relish.
That pause between needing and getting is as sacred as pregnancy. You need to allow peaceful time to pass too and the less urgency, desperation and stress in that space, the healthier the outcome will be too.
So, when you notice yourself needing something and that something isn't there... and isn't there... and you can't see how it could happen or don't even believe it could...
Pause.
Breathe.
And what if it was okay to take time wanting?
Feel the sensation of the wanting itself in your body, instead of running away with the thoughts spinning in your head. Where is this wanting in your body?
How does it feel, exactly? What is the yearning for?
Allow yourself to be with the feel, the energy of what you're needing and what isn't formed yet.
Don't contract "the womb" of your wanting with stress and strive. Let "the seed" inside you be at peace.
Your job is not to do its growing but to relax in your wanting enough so that your fruit can grow for you, by itself. As most things do, when you think about it.
