Bathtub Reflections

Friday, November 26th, 2010

I’ve been spending a lot of time in the tub (see Detox Bath Review www.modernsage.com) and with that comes relaxitation: meditation in the tub. As I was finishing a bath recently and watching the water drain, I began thinking about drains in general. Sink drains, tub drains, physical drains, emotional drains.
We think that small negative ‘things’ in our lives don’t affect the whole. We try to isolate a stressor and believe that it’s not wreaking havoc on our other affairs. But, think of the drain. What happens in the sink when a small bean clogs one of the drain holes? The water still goes down, but at a slower pace. Think of that drain with several food particles from the dinner plate, covering a many holes. A much slower drain, indeed. Even tiny hairs in the sink can quickly cause a complete clog. Meet plunger, your new assistant.
Imagine that those food particles or hair strands represent negative stressors in your life.
In a healthy state of mind, we want life to be less cumbersome. We seek happiness, love, positive movement and a continuous gentle flow. Life thrives in these environments. To think that one negative factor (be it a person, habit, debt, burdensome weight or addiction) is not causing your entire life to be more difficult (less thriving) is false thinking. No matter what is clogging your drain, be it small or large, your life is being held back from the movement it is trying to make.
Maybe it’s time to start clearing out some blockages in your life, to remove the beans and pull out the gnarly hairs so that your life-force can flow freely.
Enjoy your holiday. Give thanks for all that is brilliantly *alive* in your life and consider how much time you are spending plunging the same issues that are holding you back.
(I highly suggest tub relaxitation for further discoveries.)
