What is wholeness? During my morning meditation I reflect on Joan Borysenko's definition,"Wholeness is the graciousness with which we escape our shadow - not in complacency, but with the humility to engage our evil twin consciously, so that we can withdraw from the battles it will otherwise create."
My evil twin can sabotage my success, lead me towards complacency, and clutter my mind with negativity. These mental battles create a nonsensical chatter I call monkey mind. Meditation quiets this chatter and my evil twin is on a short leash. Healthy aging is better understanding your highest self and your darkest self. Take a moment today and consider how you engage with your evil twin, your shadow self. Soothe, nourish, and give yourself the rest you need and avoid creating battles.
Be Well.
