Nesting in Stillness

Siddhananda: (closing eyes) Okay, so same rock appearance in my mind. There is that bit of clarity in this rock that I am seeing in my mind also. (pause) I keep hearing nest. They have made a nest there, in that energy.

G: Okay.

Siddhananda: Okay, where have you nested? (asking the spirit) In the clarity? They are doing their best to make a nest in stillness and they are there. Okay. So how is that going? (laughing) Gathering little twigs and that kind of thing or what?

G: Stillness.

Siddhananda: Yeah, nesting in stillness. I just saw a little picture of little robins and stuff. What’s happening here? Okay, I think that is showing that they are trying to protect that young life of stillness… 

G: Okay.

Siddhananda: …is what that little nest of robins meant. Because I see that and their little mouths open needing to be fed all the time. But, they are around trying to nurture that.

G: Right.

Siddhananda: And be with that. It’s young life, so it’s just beginning. Like any young life, it’s very vulnerable, too.

G: Yeah, I would say don’t focus on vulnerability and this idea that you are going to lose it, because then you are creating resistance to it.

Siddhananda: Or needing to just protect it all the time.

G: Right, right.

Siddhananda: That kind of thing.

G: It’s there.

Siddhananda: Good point.

G: There’s nothing to protect. It’s just there.

Siddhananda: Good point.

G: Okay, so once you find it, then you just rest in it. And so, to worry about it and needing to protect it and stuff, you are going to distance yourself from it.

Siddhananda: Yeah, and it’s a lot of work.

G: You are going to create the very thing that you are working against, so you just relax into it.

Siddhananda: Okay, good pointing. Because I think it has been a lot of work for them and also being vigilant, which is good in one way, but in another, overdone.

G: Yeah, but then you become over absorbed in it, and you wind up losing it because you are so focused on clinging.

Siddhananda: Good point.

G: It’s not something to cling to. It’s something to relax into.

Siddhananda: Okay, good. So, they are going “Ahh!” Trying to take a breath, not feeling like they need to make so much effort towards…

G: Right. Once you find it, you are not going to lose it. You just need to relax into it and know it’s there and don’t create that resistance around it.

Siddhananda: (closing eyes) Okay, so this is penetrating them.

G: Yeah, they wanted to come through right away. (referring to the other rocks waiting to be read, laughing)

Siddhananda: Oh, yeah? Okay. I do still see the little nest of baby birds, but with their mouths open, but let’s see if it’s going to dissipate a bit.

G: Yeah, they can do the COS and that will help as well.

Siddhananda: It’s almost like they need to be the nurturer of that, but grace is what brings that. But, I think they feel like they are the ones.

G: They are the ones that need to be fed, so let them have the COS.

Siddhananda: All right. So thank you so much.

G: And that will help with that.

Siddhananda: We’ll put that over there! (setting aside the rock)

G: Yeah.
