This week’s Topic is “Repeating the Known, WHAT?!”
Have you ever said to yourself as you are entering a situation, “OK,
I’m here again setting up the same situation. Maybe this time the
outcome will be different.”– And it never is?!
This is called, from the Vedic perspective…
The Ever-Repeating Known.
When we are trawling along in life, simply maintaining the areas that
we need to start HIGHLIGHTING for deletion.
Clearing space for the things we really want to do,
in many cases, that is to CREATE.
The essence of the Ever-Repeating Known…
Could be a job where you are simply going through the paces
but not being able to grow in the areas of creativity that you really
want.
It could be your approach to food or drink that no longer feel
good for you.
It could be friends that bring you down rather than
fill you with joy and appreciation.
The beauty of Vedic Meditation, a twice-a-day “mental hygiene” mantra-
based technique, is that each time you meditate, it
brings you back to your senses. Your true self. The Being inside of
you that can’t ignore what feels wrong.
The clarity to see things that you have been ignoring, that can no longer be ignored.
This meditation technique takes you into those subtle layers of
yourself that have been forgotten… joy, happiness, true engagement
with others.
To know yourself, you have to be yourself.
As a weaver, there is a quality of repetition that I find satisfying.
In this piece of detritus, strips of paper are inserted then
meticulously pulled out to create a loop. The repetition alone is a
bit like the ever-repeating known. This practice of repeating 10,800
loops in the entire piece was a way for me to understand the true
concept of watching my thought patterns during the process of weaving
and teasing out or “letting go” of old patterns of thinking that no
longer are useful to me. To safely give me the opportunity to work
through, how to grow in areas that I want to cultivate more.
Meditation, like weaving, is a discipline.
If you are finding yourself repeating old habits that are not
satisfying to you any longer, reach out for a chat.
