It’s important to get caught up with yourself. Because all that unpacked and accumulated material blocks your clarity and your presence. You want to feel peace inside your bones, but it’s very difficult if there is a weight of material that hasn’t been attended to. You are still back there: old memories, unresolved experiences, self-congratulations yet to be expressed. It’s not just about clearing through the dark: it’s also about welcoming in the light. The best way to attend to this is to create space to reconnect with yourself: quietude alone with the soulself (‘soulitude’), a formed intention to express and release what wants to move, integration time that brings you right up to date. In this overwhelming world, coming to terms with where you have been and getting caught up with yourself is the most important personal process you can engage in. When you do, you ready yourself for whatever is next, and you create more space inside for new experiences to enter. - Jeff Brown
