Anusara Moment: Unfolding and Blooming

Peonies are just about to bloom. Meditate on such sweetness in your heart too!

It’s a great blooming of early summer in the northeast! The magical unfolding of tree leaves, rising of temperatures and blooming of flowers is no small event after a long winter.

I think there’s a blooming, an unfolding in human consciousness happening now too. More and more people are looking inside and discovering innate goodness.Feeling good about oneself leads to an attitude that everyone and everything else is good too. This makes us happy more often! Even our everyday struggles become a means to appreciate goodness and create a higher perspective.Whatever separates us from this delight and graciousness is just noise or illusion. Poets, artists, and yogis have been telling us this for thousands of years! But it’s new news to each of us as we come to recognize it.

It’s only possible for the intention in a peony bud to unfold as lovely and sweet. As we align our intention to the goodness within, so it will become impossible to create anything but beauty.
