The River

After my workouts, I try to listen to a Kirtan station to stretch and relax.

Today, this beautiful song plays:

Gayatri Mantra by Deva Premal

As I let my body move and stretch to the music, an image came into my consciousness.

I was laying in a river, floating, as the water rushed with purpose around me.

It took with it all my mental fog, all my fear, it took the pain from my body. And it all floated away.

The water filled and flowed through every part of my ethereal being. It freed me of my sorrows and concerns.

I felt light and free.

It made me remember that I didn’t have to hold on to the pain. I wasn’t a slave to mental anguish, I was a willing participant.

So I let go. I let my body move freely, and I released all my hang ups.

I released the attachment to the pain in my body.

I released my attachment to who I thought I was.

I became free in the river.

It cleansed me of who I wasn’t and left behind my beautiful body and eager, lively spirit.

I hope that you can find a song, (maybe that same song), that will allow you to move freely and let go of your pain…if only for a little while.

Life, in all of its beautiful specifics, can make us feel heavy. Heavy with thought and conclusions and expectations.

Remember to spend some time feeling light, and filling your body with that light.

Lovingly let go of the heaviness you carry, and surrender it to the willing flow of that river.

With Love,

Heba

I have over 18 years of experience doing intuitive readings. I've done extensive research into metaphysics, the occult, and faith based religions. I regularly practice meditation and kirtan (devotional yoga). I acknowledge that our lives are made of the seen and the unseen and that Truth is a moving target. I can say only a few things with great conviction after all I have lived. One, life ebbs and flows and it is always up to you to come back into your light. Use every resource you can! Two, the source of all things is light and freedom. You are free to believe whatever you choose to believe, only you can convince or disprove your own ideas. Three, we are dynamic, enigmatic beings. Though society would like us to stay in certain boxes, the truth is we can't. I am so much more than a reader. I live my life with robust joy and great curiosity. Four, I have always been in touch with something that is beyond our conventional ideas of life. I always felt something beyond my five senses. There is a part of me that relishes in diving into the depths of existence. Into those lighter layers of perception. I like feeling where the flow of life is moving. And I truly enjoy doing it with others. Lastly, I am a lover at the core of my being. I love devotional practice. I love adoring the world and everything in it. I seek to shine my light wherever I go. Of course we experience hard times, I just make the absolute most out of all the other times.
