Moments of Warmth
It was cold and wet at the winter lights last night. And when I am cold outside – even with rain gear and fleece – I’ll tend to have a harder time feeling warm emotionally.
Unless I practice. Unless I know that inner emotional warmth is a skill I cultivate that doesn’t come, well, “naturally” to me.
What does this look like? Well, it means being Aware when I start pulling away and disconnecting, from people who are having a good time, from my family smiling, from the psychedelic wonderland we’re walking through.
It means Accepting that, yeah, I do that. My default strategy when uncomfortable is to “pull away and pull inward.” Ok.
Adapting is where I notice what I could feel warm about. Ah, the kids are in awe. My partner Jem is smiling. We brought an umbrella. Other people are smiling amidst the rain (even if not everyone).
And look! There’s a magical light tree 40 feet tall dancing with the music!
And look! There are two fires radiating warm!
And feel! My daughter’s cold little fist warming in my hand.
Perhaps no one around me saw me “doing” anything different. But the shift internally was towards more emotional warmth – warm energy flowing in my awareness and to each cell of my body.
And repeat as needed.
I’m not a “master” at this. Sometimes “masters” have a hard time explaining what they do because it has become their default, to the point they don’t have to be consciously aware.
The good news is that as a student-teacher, I so want this winter season to be a warmer experience for all of us… to feel the inner fire (even (cough) if there is smoke with it at times).
If you want this, too, you’re invited to join in an early solstice celebration of conscious warming of our emotional bodies.
We’ll have this Real Skills Workshop on Sunday, December 18th at 5pm EST. We hope that if emotional warmth would be nourishing to you that you’ll join us live (or sign up for the recording).
