TASKING

(This is a Direct Voice Communication from my Tribe)

What are your first thoughts upon waking?  Joy?  Dread?  Perplexity?  How you wake is a great indicator for how well your life is satisfying your Spiritual needs.

If you awake with a sense of joy for what is ahead of you, your Spirit is highly pleased with how you plan to spend your day.  Your life is likely balanced and prioritized in ways that consider what is necessary to feed body, mind, Spirit, and Soul.  You feel at home on Mother Earth and have a sense of the Great All around you and your place in it.  You have purpose and vision.

When dread is your first thought of the day, what is happening?  What creates the weight that compresses your heart?  Are you experiencing a time of retrograde challenge, or are you living a life of illusion where you believe the lie that everything good is beyond you and your control?  Is your personal energy so low that the body, mind, Spirit, and Soul are starved?  Do you feel outcast and finite and hopeless, without purpose or solution?

What if perplexity is the motto for your day?  Nothing makes sense to you.  You feel false.  The world and its people feel false.  You move like an automaton through your day, pretending to feel something, responding where appropriate, but inside you are disturbed that there isn’t something more—when there should be more—something that is just outside your reach.

How do you wake?  How do you Task?  What is your Life?  Is life a series of events that can be considered Tasks?  I did this and then I did this and then I did this?

What is Life and what were you born to do?  Are these questions meant to be answered or merely contemplated?  Tasking creates opportunities for learning.  It brings together paths and people.  It illuminates means and manners.

So, yes, wash the floor:  but, what do you notice about your breath while you wash the floor?  Was there beauty in the sun striking the wet tiles as you washed the floor?  Did you notice that the movements you used could be dance-like, and that you could move your feet and your arms and practice suspending time as you washed the floor?  Could you capture for just a moment, a spark of magic by anchoring yourself in the present—instead of the forward moment when the task would be finished?

We do not suggest that you will do your Tasking consciously each and every time, but that by doing some Tasks consciously, you will change your experience of Life, and therefore your experience of your days, and your experience of how you meet your days.  With some small shifts in perception, you could start waking with more joy and less dread, more belonging and less perplexity.

As you move through you Tasks together, trying hovering in the present at random moments.  Try feeling the Earth moving beneath you and wishing Her well.  Trying feeling yourself as part of the greater whole and understanding how you are integral to the Great All’s symphony.  You matter and what you contribute matters.

To dream is wonderful. 

 To cease dreaming and awake is wonderful beyond measure.
