Absolution is a religious term, but to absolve is to “set free.” Formally, the word means “to set or declare (someone) free from blame, guilt, or responsibility.” I absolve myself each morning.
My cleansing ritual is to stay aware of my tendencies to get down on myself, to stop trying to figure out “life,” and to be OK in a state of not knowing, yet looking forward to all possibilities. Centeredness puts you in direct alignment with the truth that anything could happen. Potential will not be moved, potential will not be shut, potential will not be rushed, and potential will not be “figured out.”
Moving towards the center keeps potential open and intimate. Today could be the day that I die. That’s harmonious. I am mortal. Why must I be reminded that nothing is urgent or heavy? When I center, I remember.
In the center, there is no grave danger, gravity, nor depravity and urgency. It’s buoyant and free. And in the center, hope fizzes. I love my goals. Seeing them to fruition seems pretty sweet like dessert feels sweet. I love working towards them. I love that the universe has bestowed assignments, but I also know dessert is not necessary. Sustenance is key to this centeredness.
Building a lovely life, building a foundation of peace and harmony, and building a strong, healthy mind/body are part of centeredness too. Much of centeredness is learning not to push, rush, or think too hardily about goal fulfillment. You love the process. You love having things to do. Working out your purpose is best from the center of potential, not the brink of disaster.
Be in harmony, but feel the goodness of the room to grow, which is always present.
Be thankful for potential and mortality. Somehow, they link in centeredness and set you free in Truth.
