Do you also feel lost sometimes? Like you want to grow and move but you don't know in which direction? 

It can feel like life has lost its meaning.

It is like floating in infinite spaciousness and at the same time the world feels very small.

Sometimes it is impossible to find a quiet moment to just sit and reflect and figure things out. Life can be so busy and there are is so much in our modern culture that sucks at our attention making it hard to find the inner quiet needed to listen to the voice within.

Most of us know how it goes: Everything is feeling a little empty and we know we would be best served with a 20 minute meditation, or an evening with an inspiring book, or just time alone with a cup of tea while staring out the window. We pick up our phone to check just one thing and before we know it an hour has passed, time has flown beyond when we should have been in bed to get the best rest, and we feel a tinge of regret mingled with empathy for our absolutely exhausted minds.

How do we keep growing with intention and authenticity when life is like this? How do we blossom into the fullness of our being when we are exhausted and too tired to do what we know would make us feel better?

Life without growth is lifeless. 

Here is a ritual you can do to help you listen to the voice within and rekindle your sense of meaning and direction so you can grow. This works no matter how busy you are and no matter how exhausted you are.

Whenever you can throughout your day, take a few moments to breathe deeply.

As you do, let your awareness drift down into the earth.

Imagine you can feel the pulse and the rhythm of the earth.

Then let your awareness float up amongst the stars.

Imagine you can feel the pulse and rhythm of their shimmering, glittering light. 

Allow your awareness to return to your body and your heart.

Feel your own rhythm.

Remember that your pulse and rhythm are part of the cosmic pulse and rhythm of the earth and the stars. 

Wherever you are at right now, whatever you are doing, however you are feeling, is also part of the cosmic pulse and rhythm.

If you do this ritual frequently, and it need only take a minute or two, you will notice yourself being increasingly drawn to meaningful activity and moments that feel purposeful. 

It is impossible to feel lost when you are aware of your connection to the cosmos.
