About the Spirit of Finding
Finding is the companion of seeking, and it’s a part of every quest, though often and strangely overlooked. Much could be said about finding, but let’s just start with this:
Finding is about releasing ourselves from the forever-seeking mind, which can sometimes focus so hard on the question as to miss every signal the universe is offering in response. Finding is suspending the mind chatter and relaxing into the space between thoughts. Finding is allowing that we have all the answers we need within ourselves. Finding is surrendering the notion that some different time, condition, or person is necessary for our happiness. Finding is focusing on what we wish to bring forth in body mind and spirit.
Finding is bringing forth what we wish. Finding is remembering who we are. Finding is awakening to the present moment and the gifts it offers. Finding is being at peace with everything that arises in awareness. Finding is recognizing that sometimes you just have to get started, regardless of your feelings around readiness or worth. Finding is saying yes to life. Being loving, grateful, and compassionate – and other ways of raising your vibration – are all forms of finding.
