Soft Shoe Shufflers

Now we understand that the beloved Mr Harrison had a particular type of people in mind when he made this reference, but for us it conjures up the most wonderful descriptive image. We are constantly shuffling through life, not necessarily conscious of where we are going or why we\’re going there. The tides of jobs, responsibilities and social conditioning mean that most of our steps are not really filled with true purpose. They are merely filling the gaps of our lives with a perpetuation of duty, a sense of activity that perhaps distracts us from having to search within and see what it is we would really like to do and where we would really like to go.

In the Beeja worldview, our purpose comes directly from our inspiration, and by following our moment by moment purpose, every single footstep has meaning. Every yard walked is a yard where our unique expression of life can let all of its talents, and all of it\’s potentiality shine. It is an effortless, flowing march full of awareness, creativity and interaction.

The hum drum of life can sometimes seem overwhelming, or at the very least very burdensome but even amongst the milieu, if we\’re feeling fully connected to ourselves, if the spark of life is lighting us up, then even the mundane can become extraordinary.

In order to let inspiration flow we must first gain access to the deep reservoirs of inspiration that reside within. The benefits of meditation are uncountable, and doing it regularly, you create the neuronal conditions for greater and greater levels of connectivity, and the more these circuits start joining up, the more you find yourself making every step count. And the more purpose you feel, the more you find your striding through life, with a dance in your step and a smile in your heart. You find yourself in the right place at the right time. With Beeja\’s meditation for beginners, the journey becomes as important and enjoyable as the destination and the radiance that you shine along the way is enjoyed and appreciated by all those that witness it.

The great mirage of life is thinking that your external circumstances can lead you to sustainable happiness and that any unhappiness you feel is caused by something out in the world. But let the change be within, before worrying about how our external world needs to change, for you have the capability of bringing the fullness of joy, purpose and insiration to your deepest soul. And that is where the real you and true happiness lies.
