Softness of being

A good deal of mundane experiences can harden your attitude toward life, regardless of softness being innately part of your beingness. Such a gentle, docile state of being naturally takes you through life with ease and flow. The opposite creates resistance and opposition, which clearly makes the journey more difficult. Irrespective of your current challenges, you can always choose to return to your innate softness of being. Soften to your essence that is soft by nature. When you do so, your soft beingness extends into your reality, and life too softens for you. It embraces you gently and cares for you tenderly, as you truly deserve. Softening is half-way toward greater peace, compassion, and even awareness, toward a more smoothed, enlivened, and enlightened state of being. Softly, you embody your essential light and naturally spread it around you. The ultimate requisite for the current times is to soften, and to soften more, and to soften again, no matter what you encounter along the trails of life!

  7. This part is so true and important: “The ultimate requisite for the current times is to soften, and to soften more, and to soften again, no matter what you encounter along the trails of life!” Hardening of the heart is what is destroying this world.

  9. I love your posts Susana, you always teach and show me a lot of wisdom. I love this idea of softening towards life, this does remind me of being in the cosy cocoon of my home and reflecting on life there you are so right. I feel very grateful to have a warm place to live when many don’t too. I will carry this piece of beautiful wisdom with me throughout the day 💖

  10. Emotions are indeed natural and it’s important to honor them. Softness is not a weakness as many believe. It’s an inherent part of our essence and allowing it means to be soul-aligned – being an expression of our pure, spiritual essence. Thank you for you kind words, important input, and always appreciated presence. Your poetry always takes me to mystical “places”, and resonate within me beyond logical understanding. I appreciate reading it and being taken beyond. Sending you lots of light and blessings 🙏 💫

  12. We are simply recalibrating to our innate essence and to the essence of life, and that, by it self, brings forth the “solution.” Grateful for your words and presence here. Blessings and light to you, dear Camilla*

  16. I am glad it resonated with you. And yes, letting go is one of the ways to our softness of being. Ultimately because softness is already part of our nature; something else is blocking or conditioning it. Thanks for your words and presence here. Blessings and light to you 🙏 💫

  17. Much needed message for the current times! Innate gentleness need not be and must not be given up, just to fall in line with a hostile majority. If the society is adamantly rude, I feel we have a right and a duty to be adamantly gentle.

  19. It is indeed as you said; society taught us to be hard alluring that softness is weakness. The result is obvious: hard hearts and hard lives – very far from our original potential and intention for this life experience. Thank you for your priceless comment. Much appreciated! Light and blessings to you, friend 🙏 💫

  21. Great Post I think we misconceived softness of being into weakness. Society and the world enforces us to be rude and face life with no smile on our faces which only leads to more misery. Great share Susana I needed this reminder.

  22. Your lovely article reminded me of a quote from G.K. Chesterton, “It is easy to be heavy: hard to be light.” 🙂 I had to go look for it, because this is an interesting thing, indeed, softness and lightness.. “The swiftest things are the softest things. A bird is active, because a bird is soft. A stone is helpless, because a stone is hard. The stone must by its own nature go downwards, because hardness is weakness. The bird can of its nature go upwards, because fragility is force. In perfect force there is a kind of frivolity, an airiness that can maintain itself in the air.”
