Over The Threshold


There is nothing like returning home from where ever or from doing whatever. Even though you have spent countless hours staring, admiring, fussing, cleaning and sometimes complaining about, it is still a focal point of safety to you. There is a unique scent to your home and no matter how crazy the world outside that door gets you know once you turn the knob or handle and cross over the threshold it’s like falling into a cool pool on a hot summer’s day or cozying up near a roaring fire from being outside in zero degree temperatures.

   Most people spend lots of money and exert lots of energy into finding ways to get out of the house which is not a bad idea. I’m sure if the walls could talk they would moan and groan about seeing you way too much, well I know mine would. Leaving for work I swear sometimes I heard the spirit of my cubical nook sigh in relief and after eight or so hours away I would walk in and almost feel hugged and everything that resembled chaos returned to homeostasis.

   Sometimes our castle despite its size or how its dressed up or whether we share our living space with others has elements of chemistry or a connection with us. It’s not that farfetched to say that we can pick up vibes which either draw us in and anchor us down to a particular place or cast out lower vibrations and clash with us from the second we move in which of course makes us move to somewhere more cohesive. Yes, sometimes location and affordability dictate where we set camp but the bottom line is that some people constantly move around not allowing their spiritual vibes to synch with the place of residence and then there are people like me who develop a relationship with where they live and get that ahhhh moment upon entering the door.

Swallowing an Elephant

You know that joke/riddle How do you eat an elephant? A-One bite at a time. For most that seems to be the most logical. The elephant is quite large and nobody can just pop one in their mouth but oddly enough there are people out there that want you to over tax your system trying to get one down in one bite. Apparently, there are some lucky individuals out there who can unhinge their jaw and eat an elephant in one or two tries so that sets the bar for everyone else. I am not so blessed to be able to unhinge my jaw and swallow large objects.    My capacity to learn and adapt to familiar things that need to be dusted off and new ways takes more than a day or two. I know the elephant swallowers are in high demand and get cut higher respect but I feel the nibblers are just as worthy. Patience is a skill that has been slacking both in the people who want to try to make a nibbler into a swallower and those who are observing and comparing; even the nibbler wanting to be perfect...

Breathing

When someone asks me how I am I usually respond with okay which means nothing bad or good is going on. When things aren’t so okay I reply with “I’m barely breathing” which means I’m highly stressed out over something. When I listen to meditation videos they always start out with deep breathing, at first, I thought it was kind of silly to concentrate so much on breathing. I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
