A Spa for your Soul

A Spa for your Soul

When do I have time to think about my soul?

Well, I guess it is not a question of thinking, it is a question of priorities in life. I am not speaking about becoming mystics. I am referring to an awareness in life, that makes it worthy to be lived. We human beings pay lip service to a lot of things that "should" be done, leaving them for later, when we have more time, when we finish the course, when our kids grow up, when I retire, when, when, when, when…..

What we need is an awareness that life is what is happening N OW, that we can't keep postponing the possibility of a more mindful, joyful and soulful experience.

We are not working machines. Our jobs are not merely a question of doing a few (or a lot of) tasks. Well, we can choose to do what we do automatically, or we can decide to be someone who can give a lot generously, because we know how to replenish ourselves easily through a permanent connection with who we really are, our passions, our ideals, our mission in life, our vision of a better world that can only be achieved with committed people who see beyond the material aspects of their jobs. I am not saying the concrete tangible things in life are not important: quite the contrary. What I am saying is that we need to see beyond them, and use them from the internal conviction that ours is a blessed profession, whatever we do. We have a great responsibility, which is a gift. We all have a treasure inside waiting to be discovered, polished and put to use. We all need the courage to be who we are meant to be.

I warmly invite you to care of yourself:

Pay attention to your body:
pamper it with nutritious and healthy food, a good massage, physical activity, sunlight, stretching, water. Look after your hair and your skin. Enjoy your body!!

Pay attention to your mind:
make sure you relax, avoid useless thoughts, think positively, make plans for the new year, organise your time intelligently.

Pay attention to your soul:
nurture it with uplifting reading material, meditate, go to beautiful natural settings, fill yourself with love and light, listen to beautiful music.......

Notice how, just by organising your timetable more efficiently, you can live a life with relaxed and fulfilling awareness everyday........all (or most of...)the time. Notice how by being peaceful inside yourself you can create harmonious relationships at home, with friends, with colleagues, with neighbours, with everybody!!!
