'Impermanence'| A Real Life Client Story

The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Bonus Episode 1

The word impermanence describes the precious nature of each of life’s moments. Impermanence also reminds us of the fleeting nature of life. It reveals itself in the moments when we curiously wonder in relation to the day, the week; sometimes its a month or decade and ask, “Where has the time gone?”

The definition of impermanence is non permanent – transient - witnessed most accurately as the passage of time. It is the precious nature of life that reveals its simplicity; its fleeting power, yet significant moments that reveal what is priceless now and in each moment that we live - our attention to here and now.

My client Neela had just returned from a week visiting her parents on the east coast; her childhood home; and many unhappy memories that were weighted in sadness. For Neela it was the painful reminder of growing up with a Mother who was overly critical and restrictive of love.

Her father’s radiation treatment had been paused for a time; the prognosis was encouraging. He would continue to live indefinitely; the doctors speculated upwards of two years.

Impermanence is a way of deciding what we all must remember in order to appreciate life more; that each moment is here much like each single breath; its precious nature goes beyond the inflow of oxygen.

Breath is our passage from one moment to the next; from the moment that we first breathe of this world and every breath since that first moment; all of which are reminders of impermanence as life. Releasing exhaling breath is a beautiful metaphor so many of us never contemplate. To release breath is to set it free, to let go; to make space for the next in-breath in order to continue to live. You need the next moment as the next moment of your life; to live; to love; to rejoice in – for as long as you choose this.
