As I started to wake up this morning and my consciousness became aware of my surroundings, the thoughts of my ego mind automatically tried to pick up where it had left off the night before. But standing between me and my thoughts was my Divine Source with this warning…
“Do not begin today with sadness or negative thoughts from yesterday. Proceed with caution and endeavor to live today only in the present moment. The past is done and the future is something of which you have no control. To help you in this challenge, I offer you a visual. Picture this day as a three dimensional box with all the walls laid flat out on the floor. Enter the box by stepping in, as the bottom is the floor on which you stand. Now reach down and pull each side up into place, and as you do so feel the protection each wall is providing for you. Navigate your day from within the protection of this sacred box. The ego mind will challenge you throughout this day with regrets from the past and worries for the future. When these dark thoughts invade your day, reach up and pull down the lid to close the box and do not open it again until the thoughts have passed and the mind settles again onto the present moment of today. Feel free to use the gift of the box each day as an aid for living purposely, for it is only from living in the present moment that gifts of the future can be safely delivered.”
I know when my Divine Source is speaking to me and this was clearly a message sent to me in the form of a words and visual representation to help me to navigate my day after yesterday’s lack of present mind thinking. I will practice this way of thinking today and for the continuation of the holiday season so that I can fully enjoy it with my family.
So I am off to spend the day with my new tool of survival, and when the dark clouds of doubt and negativity start to descend upon my mind, I will close the lid of the box for Divine protection until it passes.
