So in the art of service, it does start with coming from a honest and pure source. There has to be fair exchange from a giving and receiving point of view. And this does not mean like for like. It is you giving naturally what is of value to another and receiving what is of value from another that they give naturally. When that situation exists, it is a magical exchange. So the idea to work towards is that when you give service, when it comes from a whole space, the results are mutually beneficial for all parties concerned. Some CrazeeBee thoughts on the matter of being of service, where can you begin in terms of foundation :
- First get your oxygen mask in order and secured before tending to another's oxygen mask. This has been one of the most profound metaphors I have encountered. You are of no use to another if you are gasping for air and dying! So work on understanding what keeps your oxygen mask functional and working
- Be of service to yourself and know what that feels like. Decide to give yourself the best service and truly feel and enjoy that gift to yourself. This does not have to be grand gestures but starts with the little things. Lovingly applying awesome body lotion, savouring awesome food, enjoying the presence of you in the quiet, taking the time to take in beauty and be in beauty etc
- Create the space for inspiration. Clutter is the biggest area that shows you that you are dealing with a distressed mind and cannot open a space for you to think and be clear and get inspired. Look for areas to de-clutter and open up space for inspiration and clearer thinking
- Honour your desire and feel the joy of having it actualise. Look at ways to start looking forward to the next moment by giving your desire a space to breathe and then honouring them coming true. That is your clue to what service will mean to someone else. The ability to help honour desire
- Deepen your ability to understand yourself and the situations around you. The more you stay curious and aware, the more you allow yourself to understand yourself and the situation around you deeper. That powers up any of the above points
Good Luck and let's start getting that foundation strong to be able to give back without losing who we are. Mwah!
