How can we achieve the calmness of a "Snow Globe"?
How can we become the observer, be present, and simply enjoy the scenery? Why does the reflection of our experience elude the thought process that created it?
Our mind is like a "Snow Globe".
It can be calm and still, serene, and peaceful. It can “just be”.. Likewise, our experiences reflect this environment precisely as does synchronicity; the organizing principle of this Universe, when answering the divine call of our wishes. How much ease or resistance we observe, internalize, and adapt to is purely within our liberty. Likewise, the momentum of our actions, or the lack thereof deciphers the orchestration of our journey. Its impetus can be instantly changed pending the direction of our focus and the alignment of our actions.

Like our experience, a snow globe can be shaken and chaos can arise in an instant. Such a state resembles our inner state when we allow thoughts to ruminate randomly and without the agency of an intention. On the other hand, when snowflakes start to settle we can be present and enjoy the moment observing its beauty. When our mind settles and is calm, is when the scenery and all around us reflect this calmness.
So, how we choose to play with our glass globe very much renders how we choose to interact with our globe that of thoughts - our mind.
Like the apex of contrast where everything is shaken, a fine point of equilibrium will innately present itself. It is the neutral point and the precise moment where the pendulum swings to the other side. This usually represents a decision. An intention we claim, a choice we declare. Our destiny thereby can change at the weakest point of our life and a sight of calm snow is awaiting ahead of us.

While the analogy of a snow globe may seem too literal to some, I could go on finding reasons to find synchronicities between this object and our mindset. While the globe itself is an enclosed property with a shiny surface; likewise, our inner environment is often within an enclosure of an intimate privacy. Regardless, we can find the outer environment within both their reflection. This is the core of such an analogy. Regardless of an enclosure, or privacy we cannot hide what is beneath the surface. We may attempt at times and might even do a good job, but our circumstances will soon reveal where our thoughts travel.
Ultimately, we cannot hide or escape from what has made it into its existence. We cannot achieve wholeness by rejecting parts of ourselves. Like the snowflakes, all of the thoughts, memories, and experiences are forever there. Wholeness is fostered by unity, and we must bring all aspects of ourselves into harmony.
Calmness..
This is what calmness is like. When all of the instruments are synchronized, playing a beautiful song. When our heart and mind is in coherence and experiencing a sense of peace. When we realize "The wilderness is a place of preparation, not that of punishment". Wilderness here is being interpreted as a time of testing and growth. It is about finding purpose in this wilderness.. Knowing times on our journey that lack order are there to teach us through the very chaos present. To strip away what does not belong and burn away what can't go with us to the "Promise Land".

Inner Reflection..
"Being in a reflective state has healing properties. It allows us to pause, and understand ourselves a little better. That is where realization & growth take place. When we reflect, we allow our inner self to guide us in different directions to make changes. We create new opportunities, and therefore experiences, and so the memories." ~Vendula Kalinova
Let this be an experience that of a Snow Globe..
