By Week 12 of the Practice of Living Awareness, we have options. Options are like fuel. They fire us up with hope. Here’s a delightful acronym that came to mind one day while meditating on the abundance of options we have in any given moment:
H.O.P.E. – Having Options Promotes Expansion
It is factual. We live in an abundant universe. As we expand our awareness, we realize that options abound. To a large extent, we are free to choose our response to the next thought or experience. We are free to choose where we hang our hat, what music we listen to, the food we eat, the people we surround ourselves with, etc. We can choose to forgive, to smile, and to extend a helping hand. We can choose harmlessness. And we can choose to meditate. It all sounds really hopeful.
Hope is essential because it fuels our resilience, optimism, and drive to overcome obstacles. It serves well during times of uncertainty or adversity. Hope can offer solace and motivation. When we are hopeful, we can envision possibilities, set goals, and take proactive steps towards achieving them. Hope instills a positive mindset and fosters a sense of purpose, encouraging us to dream, innovate, and contribute to our communities and the world at large. Ultimately, hope empowers us to believe in our ability to shape our lives and the world around us.
As we tap into the spaciousness that meditation provides, we open the door to a more hopeful way of being. What’s on the other side of that door? Options, potentials, and possibilities. And the Central Channel is our distribution center for each and every one of them!
Happy meditating.
