Marya Mann : Blog : The Symphony Wins | Easing Electoral Tension

The Symphony Wins | Easing Electoral Tension

If we could model ourselves on the Earth, we would find ourselves as symphonies of birdsong, flowing water, wind in the trees, falling branches and floating leaves. The teeming polyrhythms of life are all around and inside us. Our world is spread through with sweet sounds, from a baby’s cry to a mother’s joyful cooing to a laughing teen.

Natural sounds of natural living nourish us.

But when there are false notes flying from the dark egos of so many, it’s hard to listen: we can feel invaded by false, angry voices, the screech of fast cars and jarring cell phone rings. YouTube videos bearing false claims and news that isn’t new or even true. It’s easy to lose our cool and forget the inner enchantment that gives presence, humility and meaning to our lives.

It’s become a cliché to say “Happiness is an inside job,” but that hasn’t made it any less accurate.

A deeper truth is that overdevelopment of our inner resources has mirrored the overdevelopment of our outer resources. Someone who is internally overdeveloped can’t find their own spiritual center because anxiety and insecurity have led them to misconstrue what a successful, “sound” life looks like. That insecurity leads to racism, sexism and other isms that can deflect us from our natural souls.

An overdeveloped inner world might cause someone to view success as what’s accepted by most people rather than having faith in one’s own spirit. They can’t be happy with what they have; they are always looking ahead, never quite rooting into the Earth now, where they stand. They fill up the mystical vastness with every new personal development tool or scheme on the market, and they care more about posting it on social media than evolving to become a more “sound” vehicle for the movement of love and creative connection.

They might look at friendships as a social arrangement rather than the soulful connection of sharing passionate interests and unique conversations with someone they care about.

Like overdevelopment in the outer world, overdevelopment of the inner world uses vital resources in a self-sabotaging way.

Balanced development and ongoing enchantment of the inner and outer worlds flow out of our unique presence, the warm and giddy hum of the soul on fire with aliveness. It’s listening to the heart and trusting what arises more than what you read in a news feed or hear on the radio.

The anxiety permeating so much of our society at this pre-election moment is a call to come back into balance. We simply can’t let ourselves get carried away by the cacophony — with an emphasis on the “phony.” (!)

The truer sounds, like the sounds of yoga I like best – the “ahhhhs” and “oms” are nothing fancy. Use whatever it takes to get to the silence of the soul at peace with the world – “Om mane padme hum,” “Om shanti om” — where the symphony reasserts itself; we’re vibrating peace, radiating light, and igniting positive intentions.

Secure in ourselves, we can hear the songs of nature, sing the true songs of the soul, and place virtue, intimacy, and creativity back on their seats again. The electoral season will soon be over, but the symphony lasts forever. It’s always there, tuning up, tuning in, and making music to soothe your soul.

May we all listen up!

Namaste and Blessings,
Marya
