“This too will pass” are the words that come to mind as I go in to bring forth the scribe for June. “This too will pass” reminds me that every moment is merely a moment connected to another moment, connected to another moment.

Each moment has one thing in common – they are all fleeting. They are only here for a moment and then the next moment is upon us. All we have is NOW. All we have before us at any given moment is that moment.

The saying “This too will pass” reminds me to stay focused on the moment in front of me, regardless of whether I perceive it as good or bad. It keeps me grounded and centred in the essence of life. The very essence of life presents itself in the moment – for that is all there is. There is no past or future, there is only the moment we have in front of us – right NOW.

It also reminds me to fully enjoy the moment if I perceive it as good and it comforts me if I perceive the moment as bad. It doesn’t take away from the moment – it actually sits you in it more fully.

I have now taken these four words and made them into my mantra and boy, oh boy, they work wonders!!!

Here’s an example:

Gary & I had gone to do our grocery shopping. We loaded the trolley with all of our goodies for the week and then took them through the checkout. As I reached into my handbag (which had been sitting on top of the trolley the whole time) to get my purse…it wasn’t there. I checked every zipped compartment and it was nowhere to be found.

I felt the panic and fear immediately rise up from deep within me and then I found myself repeating my mantra “this too will pass” silently to myself as I stood there at the checkout. “This too will pass, this too will pass” I remembered and instantly I felt the fear subside and felt my breath return to a deep, slow pace.

A smile came upon my face and I simply moved onto the next moment. I didn’t hang onto that moment of discovering my purse missing, I didn’t make a drama out of it, I didn’t plan out the future of having to change cards and license and all of that – I simply shifted to the next moment which was to ask Gary if he had his wallet.

Amazingly enough…the moment I shifted, the answer arrived.

I saw clearly that my purse was sitting safely tucked away in a shopping bag in the back of our car. I hadn’t been careless, someone hadn’t stolen it while we were shopping, I had merely not put it back into my handbag after I had done some shopping earlier.

I felt so thankful, so very grateful, so blessed that I hadn’t blocked the answer from arriving because I had been ’stuck’ in it. I had simply remembered the four words “This too will pass” and that enabled ’space’ to be put around the situation which then allowed the situation to be resolved by something much larger than me!!! How truly divine!

So as you go through life…remember that the only thing constant is CHANGE.

Every moment is precious, even horrid ones. “This too will pass” allows you to saviour the great moments when you feel that life could not simply get any better and it will also allow you to feel fully supported when life is challenging you on all levels, because it reminds you that you will love again, laugh again, feel happy again, have money again, connect with your loved ones again, create again…etc..etc… The sun truly will come out again tomorrow!

So as we all walk our path through life may we all feel grateful for each moment because….”This too will pass”.

Enjoy the month of June and thank you for your love and support – we truly appreciate it!

Much love, many blessings. Julianne xxx
