Drive-thru Healing

Ever feel like you wish you could get a drive-thru ‘Heal my life’?
Me too!

There are days when doing the job of wearing those big girl panties and showing up as my highest evolved self feels like threading a needle in a hurricane! We have advanced from chicken on the go to drive-thru coffee… why, oh why, do we not have ‘fix this sh!t now’ drive-thru for our messy lives?

I have had days when I felt like life was flowing in perfect harmony with a divine order, and then there are those days when you wish you had a ‘My Life Help’ app, which has FAQ and answers that really do fix it in a flash.

A few years ago I had one of those days… well, a few to be fair. Where I felt like I had my eye on all the ducks in a row, and balls in the air, only to be left standing in a puddle of frustrated tears from the overwhelming feeling of complete lunacy, too many ‘browser tabs’ open, and ‘too old for these life lessons’. Trying to parent, teach, work, guide, feed said ducklings, clean, be a fun mum, discipline, remain sexy, look on the bright side, turn lemons into bond payments, be a good ex-wife, exercise, educate myself, listen to the universe, coach, clean, parent, feed/nourish self, understand WIX, ace SEO, hug someone/anyone, hydrate, garden, finish painting half-finished house, teach children how to clean, parent, sleep, heal myself…breathe.

Glennon Doyle Melton’s quote, “Life is Brutiful” – Beautiful and brutal, makes me think of the rainbow after the storm. As I let those tears cleanse my soul and forgive myself for all the things that I can’t seriously get done in a day. I know we all have the emotional capacity for deep peace and also turmoil and disconnect. These are not just nebulous things – these emotions are chemicals that flow into our bodies, and learning to let them out is so important. The ‘Downs’ are just less intense these days and the ‘Ups’ are lekker mellow. There is a lot less cray cray, however, no matter where you are on your journey, you’re gonna have those days. Somehow I thought that becoming more energetically soul-aligned would exempt me from being human…

In the past my head was a very busy, messy place, and I am gloriously grateful that I discovered guided meditation many years ago. I have decided that for me, this is as close to ‘Drive-thru Heal my life’ as one can get. Yes, there are ‘medicinal’ options, but I prefer that my own body produce its own ‘good stuff’. The chemicals your body can produce can put even our beloved caffeine and even those shrooms to shame!

So just for today – grab a ‘drive-thru’ chemical pick me up … guided meditation style!
