How You Witness Infinite Beauty | The WISDOM podcast S2 E24 | with Dorothy Ratusny

How You Witness Infinite Beauty The WISDOM podcast   Season 2  Episode 24 with Dorothy Ratusny

 

‘Align yourself with your heart.  This is how you witness infinite beauty.’  - dorothy ratusny

 

These words are a brief and beautiful summation of what you will hear in this episode.

 

Here I share the most simple, yet powerful means of instantly changing your perspective; your mindset and any mood or feeling that is unwanted. It is this: to hold presence and to witness the beauty in all of life circling you.

 

Many of the topics that I speak about in this podcast have become the poignant messages and timely topic for my videos on YouTube. It can be a helpful to have a listen here and then check out the video on this topic.

 

In this episode, I build further on the practice of presence that I spoke about last week; and of how you can apply this practice as a way of living life; to help you overcome feelings of anxiety and panic, anger, sadness, fear, and to help you navigate in a productive way whenever you are overwhelmed with the unknown and consistent change that continues for us all.

 

But here I share something new; a new approach and a best practice, to live your life, and to diminish any and all of the unpleasant thoughts and feelings that you may be mired in.

When you stop and hold presence in this moment, and as you take a mindful look around you; eyes open, senses aware and awake, you find the beauty in what you see.

 

Wherever you are; it could be in nature in awe of natural beauty; it could be gazing out your window, taking a few minutes from your computer to look up, to notice, to be attentive to what you are aware of; to hold presence in your mind and body to whatever is before you. The strategy; the practice is to hold presence; to allow it to reveal what you need to see; to feel; to know. That’s all.

 

"Holding presence is one of the most simple acts next to breathing." - dorothy ratusny

 

This is perhaps the most simple and yet profound means of instilling what beauty is present in each moment of life; if you choose to see it; to look for it; to appreciate it as it finds you in the most simple things. This way of holding presence allows you to feel thankful, gratitude and in appreciation of what you notice.

 

Finally, I would love for you to experience a guided meditation that helps you to witness the beauty in all of life. I will leave a link in the episode notes of which you can the download the meditation. This meditation titled, The Infinite Beauty Of Life: A Prose Meditation. It also lives on my website in the Wisdom Archives if you wish to listen there.

Your heart open is a simple offering of presence; of witnessing yourself and what is around you and of this moment. It is a way for you to hold peace in your heart as you make your way back into ‘now’. There is nothing else ‘to do’ except return to now.

Here in now, you might challenge yourself to find beauty – beauty in ‘what is’, not in needing anything to be different. Beauty in the simple joys of life; and the simple abundance of all that is. Whenever your mind is preoccupied with so much ‘to do’.
