What Anchors You? By Terra Lea
To keep a boat steady, rooted and calm, an anchor is needed. If you are feeling anxious, unsettled or tired, where are your anchors for peace?
In this new month of May, we are called to look around, turn our eyes to beauty blooming and growing all around us.
Glorious nature is the rooting, grounding (pun intended) force to anchor our awareness out of the busy mind and into our senses, to what is real; the present moment.
In a conversation with a dear friend, we talked of the struggle of trying to be present and grateful in times such as these.
Every moment we are called to choose; each breath is a seed of choice, and the choice becomes more and more profound, as the world swirls in uncertainty, asking; How will I be in this troubled world?
Making the choice to be more rooted in awareness and in the present moment invites the unfolding of appreciation, of gratitude.
Awareness of blessings in each moment requires more than just a turn of my head; I need an anchoring that feels sure, dependable, safe.
I may want to hide, to curl up and sleep away my life, but the call is not to escape, but to weave—to let the light from the unseen realms lace through the ordinary acts of care and presence.
And that is the hardest, holiest work. And yes, I speak of holy. We are woven; equally spiritual, physical, mental and emotional beings.
In difficult times, it can be more of a challenge for all of us to navigate and deepen a connection to the etheric world, to find an anchoring in the invisible.
Claiming, practicing, and deepening our spiritual practices enhances all the divine parts of us, and serve as the most powerful anchor.
There are many mindful awareness practices to help us anchor our attention to the present moment, and out of the anxious thought, judgement, or beliefs that sometimes binds us.
A simple pause before we rise, an invitation to our heart souls - I offer this day the blessing of my loving awareness in every now moment.
At midday, maybe choose a natural pause in your day (while making tea, feeding pets, folding laundry).
Gently say to yourself, This moment is the altar. I offer my loving presence. Notice texture, scent, sound—letting the sacred thread weave into the ordinary.
At day’s end, write or speak aloud, What felt like an altar—what lifted me toward the sky?
Then simply breathe, witnessing without needing to fix.
Ask, What felt like an anchor today—what held me to the earth?
Taking a few moments in each day to reflect and listen deeply may seems out of our natural way in our Western culture.
But the more we engage in our daily spiritual practices - the more comfortable it will feel, and quickly, the inner voice grows more stronger, peaceful and content.
And it becomes easier and easier to welcome the sacred into every day and into every now moment.
And with your mind anchored in your Divine Presence in every now moment - you navigate through your life anchored in the Divine Love, Peace, and Joy of your Divine Presence - your direct connection to Father/Mother/God within you !
