ARE YOU FEELING THAT???
Hello Lovelies,
How are You? What have you been experiencing lately? What does life feel like to you right now?
I have been feeling like the caterpillar turned into the "blob o goop" before it transforms into the butterfly. I have also felt like my higher self decided it was time for me to "get back in the game"... Reminding me to connect, share, receive... and let go of the urge to hide out in my cocoon as much. The child within me has been reminding me to PLAY more often. I love what I get to do as a livelihood every day that I forget to do things that simply bring me joy... just for me❤️
What I'm doing my best to practice more lately, in order to experience joy... or even something more aligned with me... is to connect and share from the deepest, most authentic parts of me often and have fun while doing it. When I allow my Self to be vulnerable and show up in confidence at the same time I am able to attract people like that and give permission to others as well. Consciously doing my best to act in alignment with how it feels to be, do, and have what I am desiring in the present moment allows for the blessings to arrive. As I move through these awarenesses, at times... it feels like a "mind f*ck" or like I am experiencing a sense of what bi-polar might feel like as I navigate all the possibilities, up & downs, and ins & outs. Even having moments of questioning my existence here on Earth... which is not something I have considered in the past... Only to remember that I am both the goop and the butterfly at the same time and acceptance of what is in each moment allows me to listen and hear how to best move forward with new vision.
I have also been feeling like the past patterns of "trying to change people" or "convince people of anything" has been brought to my awareness and I have been able to shift out of these "urges to be right" greatly. The belief in "control" or that we have control over anything in this world is simply not true for me anymore. The quicker I am able to let go of what my limited mind thinks it can control, the easier it is to receive what I am truly desiring because I am not creating resistance in my energy field by "trying to control" anything or anyone. In addition, the old patterns of "not enough", "settling" and "lonely" have shown up in not so subtle ways to mirror back to me that there still may be some little nuggets of those energies hanging out within my BEing and it is time to let go of those beliefs as I create new experiences.
Click HERE for a Mini Session Life offers soooo many opportunities to come back to the Source, to come back to our Self. We humans can choose the "Path of Resistance" or the "Path of Most Allowing", what we must remember is that the Universe is ALWAYS conspiring with us! We manifest exactly what we're feeling, speaking, or intending... If we're not coming from that HEART Center our outside environment will reflect that back to us for sure!
So, I encourage us ALL to make time to be quiet with our Selfs and BE aware of the thoughts in our head because they are the energy creating our environment. Sometimes meditation is not about quieting the mind, it's about being aware of the thoughts that the mind is sharing with us and observing which ones feel aligned and which ones don't. Then, we're able to make a conscious decision to choose more loving thoughts about our Self and "others"... and then we can really know that there are no "others" as we shift our energy and see how interconnected we ALL truly are having the experience of life in our own unique way ❤️! I look forward to my thoughts each day... even the not so loving ones. I appreciate their guidance and how they help me to listen to the messages of my body. My awareness allows me to feel into my choices so that I am able to experience more of what my heart desires. I imagine this awareness for EveryOne with the greatest good as my intention.
