“There is a quiet water in the center of your soul.” ~ James Kavanaugh
Charise’s Turn:
Consider the word “well” in “wellness”. “Wellness” itself is not only a buzzword, it’s a cultural movement. There are wellness coaches, courses, practices, and books. What about the metaphor of a well that exists in well-ness? The metaphor suggests drawing from a source that quenches your thirst, that gives you sustenance. Now locate this well within you, there for you to draw from.
I’ve had ongoing tinnitus for five years now. The five-year mark seems significant; and while there is no relief from the sound, vibration, clogging sensation and hearing loss in my left ear, I’m celebrating my ability to cope and how I choose to experience wonder each and every day. I’m sure anyone with a disability or impairment understands the importance of such a choice. Meditating is never quiet, but I can tap into the deep silence of that well within me to feel replenished, nevertheless.
Get Fired Up:
Visualize a well within you that is life sustaining. Visit that image from time to time, knowing you can trust that source. Any talk of wellness needs to honor this well.
