Support

Dear ones,

The theme of support has been on my mind a lot over the last few days. Partly, it's because the spiritual support groups are starting this week and I'm reflecting on how people can be best supported in both their human experience and life and in their spiritual opening (not that these are truly separate). Partly, though, it's also an eternal theme, as old as humankind.

Spiritually, it's important because one of the main ways that we close off from spiritual opening is through contracting into a sense of separation and relying on personality and ego strength alone. We've all learnt this as children because we were told we had to 'get our act together', control ourselves or our impulses, or do or achieve what was demanded of us. In that we were left alone and had to cope by ourselves. As a result, the deeper the discomfort or pain, the more it tends to be closed off from any possibility of asking for help or support.

That's why the experience of sharing something and receiving support is so healing. That's how we open to the reality of Love in a very human way, how we can experience it directly and let it transform us. In that, the heart opens and separation gives way to a sense of connection or even oneness.

If the theme speaks to you, you can also watch the video of the short talk on support from last Sunday's online sangha gathering. To watch click on the thumbnail or HERE.

Also, there is still space in the Saturday spiritual support group, and it's not too late to join (the Wednesday group is full). If you do feel the need for support, whether at the spiritual level, human level, or both, consider the group as an invitation to let go of separation and experience how support can transform you. The transformation is both human and spiritual, a beautiful gift to give to yourself. The link to the page about the spiritual support groups is  HERE .

Love and blessings to you,
grace
