Immersion - the act of immersing (dip or submerge)
someone or something in liquid, deep mental
involvement, baptism by immersing a person bodily.
There are some words that are just more potent
than others, in both a secular and a spiritual sense,
immersion is one of them. Linked with the activity
of baptism and contemplation, it calls for total
commitment, seemingly disavowing any notion
of being partially involved.
As the note below conveys, in a spiritual sense,
there is no partial or half-living of our authentic
lives - being half authentic seems to be missing
the mark. Sometimes I need to remind myself
that to obtain enlightenment, I must be fully
immersed in this spiritual pursuit, even if this
is not easy.
At the core of any spiritual quest, there needs
to be a Divine connection where we take the
time to commune with God, Spirit, Source,
the Beloved, or whatever name you feel most
comfortable with using.
Although I believe that entering the silence while
meditating sets the stage for us to hear the voice
within our souls whispering a message, I also
realize that through the very act of living, our
Souls linked with the Divine convey the wisdom
we are intended to comprehend.
Let's all opt for full immersion today.
FULL IMMERSION
Today let us allow our lives to speak
to us, providing gentle but useful
direction as to the next step and
the way forward – knowing within
these moments of living a lesson
is revealed.
Today let us hear the voice within
our Souls whispering a message so
clear and significant, it resonates
a warmth, an inner peace, beating
out a rhythm of wisdom as our
hearts leap, and our feet dance.
Today let us understand no partial
or half-living of our authentic lives
will do; let us realize only full
immersion will ease our hungry
spirits wishing to make every
moment count, every day a festival
of intended happiness enjoyed.
