Rumi’s Reflection Journal: join Alison Wem on her journey as she experiences the Covid pandemic

Many of us feel constrained by the attempts of our governments to control the virus – lockdowns, curfews, isolation from our loved ones.

We are never really alone. Going within and reflecting opens up a whole new world. While meditation calms us, I have found having something to reflect on and to sense my own feelings, is a constructive practice that helps me to re-connect with the wisdom of my soul.

To help me with my reflections on Rumi’s poetry, I have chosen to use Paper Trail’s book – Rumi’s Reflection Journal. It gives me individual Rumi quotes to consider. Thank you Paper Trail.

Day 1: 12th December 2020

You are not a drop in the ocean.

You are the entire Ocean, in a drop

                              Jalal  al-Din Rumi

During lockdown I have met my soul. She is called Lucinda. I always have Lucinda with me, a spark of the Divine within whom I can find all that is Divine.

I am seeking to know Lucinda better, to listen to her promptings in my life. I feel an increasing ‘knowing’ within me which I am seeking to engage with in everyday life –  at home and at work.

This ‘knowing’ takes me beyond my normal mediumship capabilities to a depth of wisdom no single person is able to achieve even in a number of lives.

 

Feel good: find ways of putting things into perspective

Finding January a challenging month? Or perhaps there is something else in your life which is spoiling your calmness and well-being, giving you worry and anxiety.

Each of us runs our own lives and we can seek out ways of improving our well-being. This is not about expensive classes or time consuming activities. Music and singing can be listened to, or joined in with, as we travel to work or do domestic tasks.

Deva Premal and Miten give us an overview of what is possible and how it helped them.

Are you enjoying your life?

I am a firm believer that;

Life is for living and enjoying

Yet it is not always easy to do this. Life can feel full of challenges.

No-one has everything.

Some people may appear to be wealthy and happy but if you follow them home, there may be challenges of fidelity, not being able to conceive a child, health problems and fear of loosing their wealth, position or power. In my experience everyone has at least one challenge in their life as we try to learn our life lessons.

How you respond to your challenges determines who you are and how you live your life.

Many feel constrained and frustrated by their life. To help alleviate this you can go within and explore your inner landscape. There are no constraints there. You can sore as high and as fast as the bird in my picture and feel the speed and exhilaration of freedom and space.
