Loving Yourself in the Soup Pot

When things are going just the way I want and I know I am in life's flow I find it easier to love myself.  But what about when I'm in what I call the the "all that is" Soup Pot.  The temperature is rising, and tons of new ingredients are being tossed in the pot with me.  What do I do then? 

One strategy, which I would not recommend, is to start to criticize and judge.  Another strategy that fails to produce any love is to second guess the decision to jump in the pot.  Indulging in comparisons with the other ingredients is a very unsuccessful strategy as well.  After all, each of the ingredients was chosen for the uniqueness it would add to the overall flavor symphony of the soup.  Than means me we all have a unique contribution.

On the other hand, when the water starts to boil and the other ingredients bump me around, whirlpools push me under the stock, the salt bites and that dash of cayenne gets in my eye, how do I stay in my loving of myself.  At this point in the post, you may be saying to yourself, what is she talking about?  How can I love myself when I know I'm comparing or judging. 

It is at this very time that I use the tools and practices I've built with ThetaSynergy to find my way back to the loving because this is when I need my own self-acceptance the most, when I need to have the self-compassion to know that the heat and turbulence of the moment is the very synergy that is creating something new. 

Last week I felt like it was me in the "soup pot", struggling to keep my head above the surface in a balanced and centered way.  I knew I was grumpy, to put it mildly.  And, some part of me was grumping about every little thing.  Mostly it seemed as if nothing was right.  I know enough to stay away from second guessing myself, and yet, I was thinking about how to get out of the soup pot.  Was there a way I could come home earlier.   I asked for assistance and guidance, and one of my clients called me for a session.  What do you know. the universe displays it's brilliance again.  What my client needed assistance with was just what I needed to do for myself as well.  Shortly after that and still in the commotion of the pot, I found myself saying to myself "I wonder what I'll taste like when I'm done cooking?"  What new delicious qualities are being cooked into me?  Where ever that question came from, it gave me some perspective.  It is that perspective I'm writing about now. 

As I feel it, the energies in the universe are like riding intense rapids or being boiled and then simmered with a bunch of seemingly different ingredients. My translation of what my Astrologer friend Carolyn tells me about the Planetary energies is the our friend Pluto is setting dynamite charges to unearth and excavate any areas where we need transformation, and Saturn is following right behind with sandpaper to make sure all the edges are smooth and polished.  I know I'm mixingmy metaphors all over the place, but I think you'll get the idea.

Are you feeling some of that too? Just remember that the flavor of the soup contains all the different tastes of the ingredients and synergizes them into a brand new creation.
