Recalibration

Updated: Jan 21

“Rejoicing in ordinary things is not sentimental or trite.

Each time we drop our complaints & allow everyday good fortune to inspire us,

we enter the warrior’s world.” - Pema Chodron


I initially wrote a some of this entry in 2020  (Covid times). I’m sure what we experienced then & beyond is not quite the 20/20 vision many of us were expecting. My thinking & line of questioning then is relevant now -

What if there was a greater purpose to this shift in perspective?

(For the planet - that’s a whole ‘nother post. But for humans - )

Are there ways you have discovered new meaning or purpose in life during these challenging times?


Coming back to this post in 2025 to add -

I think that the pandemic was a huge collective trauma that, much like when we experience trauma on an individual level, we had to keep moving through and never got to fully process its breadth and effect.


And now, things have accelerated in other horrific ways, with genocide, never-ending 'wars' and destruction, aka aggressive, murderous global Imperialism, and yet, the Freedom movement is growing, people all over the globe are standing up and speaking Truth to Power.


We need community more than ever. (Especially now that Drumpf is back in office.)


For me, the past 15 months, witnessing the Palestinian peoples' steadfastness, tenderness, and moments of joy amidst unimaginable pain & obliteration has been an indescribable spiritual instruction I never would ask for.


As an empath to the Nth degree, the past 5 years have found me in waves of great emotional / nervous system disregulation, and I have had to work really hard to maintain equilibrium and remain in a place where I can continue to serve, but it has been on a limited capacity during chunks of this time.


This winter I created RECALIBRATE - A Mindfulness and Meditation Journey.

This is a seed that has been growing for 5 years and is just sprouting now.

Please jump in any time for 21 Days - or 21 Ways - to Recalibrate.

The rest of this article is from 2020 and just as relevant today - reminders of how we must tend to ourselves in times like these so that we can keep going forward (and fight for the collective, now more than ever).


Any time is a great time to RECALIBRATE - on a soul level. Take stock of your tools, methodology, instruments & measurements of success, & allow yourself some time for a deep Reset where needed. Take a breather. Then plant your seeds of transformation. Tend to that which you wish to grow. Love and nurture yourself. And when you're ready, keep going forward.


This is something we need to do periodically, make space for ourselves to go inward & look honestly, without judgement, at where we are on our path… Look at what we’ve been growing through, where we’ve come from, what we’ve learned from our experiences, what is working for us, & what’s not working so well. Release what’s no longer serving us. And then consciously daydream - what’s next?


Allow yourself time to rejoice in ordinary things. Discover, wonder, allow yourself to feel grateful for the basics we so often take for granted.

  • How can you create more joy in your life?

  • What is missing from your spiritual toolbox?

  • What tools or practices do you know you could incorporate into your life to help you find more clarity & fulfillment?


Magic happens in stillness, that's one of many reasons why meditation is such powerful tool. Even in a moving meditation state like yoga or walking in nature, there is a stillness that opens up inside, a space that is created within us. In meditation, we can time travel, or suspend ourselves in that glorious state where time does not exist, just the eternal Now.


What ways are you finding most effective for yourself in recalibrating during this time? Please share.


If you need support, that's what I'm here for, whether in 1:1, in groups, or through my meditations.

May you be at Peace on your Path, and tuned in to your Purpose here at this time.
