This is where the sensations collide, the foundation of incomprehensible existence, the mysterious question mark hidden throughout the cosmos!
This woman made up of stars, holds the earth in her heart, a loving place, a body full of love, and encompassed by love! The persona is gone. She is made new, into a vessel of power and light. Larger than life, larger than what a body could hold, and yet she still has form. She practices embracing her form, her light, embracing her true being beneath the form that now dissolves.
Guidance is a flow, a flow through us, a connection. We do not force, control, or hold on to certain outcomes. Instead, we surrender so that all we say and do comes from a divine center beyond what we could have come up with all on our own.
We choose a path and let it unfold, we don’t plan everything out into eternity, one step leads to the next with ease and harmony. All we need is the first doorway and the rest will take care of itself.
It’s an ongoing journey, one that is cultivated with practice. The more we listen and trust, the more we are guided. What was once invisible comes into view. We cannot look too far ahead, for just as we cannot see past the horizon line, so we cannot see all of the path. We must first be present with where we are now.
Guidance is found most profoundly within how something feels. We feel into things to decide if it is the direction we desire to go and we turn another way if things don’t feel right.
While not defined by our emotions, it’s important to honor the lessons that guide us. That does require a lot of strength.
Negative emotions are only proof that the opposite is true. Everyone has worth, and so everyone feels the disconnect when they view themselves as worthless. To be our true self we must also be accepting of ourselves.
This guidance through our emotions can help us to know ourselves, as well as who we are not. Then we can use that outside perspective to disidentify with false projections of ourselves and rise above those imposed limitations.
Anything that is not true or worthy of your thought attention will grieve your inner world. It is you alone who feels those messages and so you alone must listen.
Negative emotions are red flags, they catch our attention through deep feelings that cut to the heart. Emotions of elation and gratitude hold our attention and strengthen our autonomy. Moments where we know we are being true to ourselves and contributing with our passions helps us identify with empowering states of mind.
Some may try to suppress their emotions and in so doing suppress their greatest ally and guide. They’ve been conditioned perhaps to distrust themselves and dismiss their feelings.
We owe it to ourselves and the people in our lives to process our emotions no matter how heavy. Without an honest look inside we are blind in the dark.
This inner reflection is fueled by trust. We trust the guidance now and the next time it will be that much clearer.
The kind of inspiration we want to follow is the kind that we could care less about the outcome. It’s something that feels so right we couldn’t not do it! We can’t help ourselves!
This is very different than wearing ourselves out by trying to force things to happen or mudding our mind with others’ opinions. Sometimes we get too distracted by the endless “to do list” that we miss the promptings that would have moved everything forward in our lives.
With clarity, next steps become obvious, but this does require a stillness. Slowing down long enough to listen. More than silence, a surrender. The surrender of our time, being able to be still in the midst of uncertainty and not rushing from one thing to the next.
When we listen to our intuition, the analytical mind falls away, and we are less likely to be sidetracked. We tune into a flow of divine ideas and tune out the fear from over thinking. It is a practice worth pursuing. Perhaps moving away from the usual way of making decisions will open up a whole new world of possibilities. Sometimes we don’t know what we want, or perhaps our pathway leads somewhere better than we ever could have imagined.
There is great peace in trust.
