Opening to Grace

In today's podcast episode I am sharing an entry from my journal that was inspired by a state of surrender. I went to a coffee shop with the intention of doing writing, but when i arrived I was STUCK.  Nothing was flowing.  So I decided to surrender to the moment and enter some free writing instead.  What I share in this episode is what poured through me.  The big take-away? To soften the ego and open to grace.  When we become rigid we block the flow of Spirit.

 

Softening the rigidity and opening to the moment

 

Let’s be serious 

this isn’t flowing, and I can’t make it.

I’ve showed up

Ready to create

And yet i feel blocked

like what i’ve planned 

is not what needs to come through.

 

So i simply write

whatever needs to be expressed in this moment.

 

My God… the world is beautiful.

these humans around me

the sun

the light

the warmth

the earth

the dirt and rocks and sand

the plants

the bugs

the intricate interweaving of life

so fucking awe inspiring. 

 

When we get rigid in our thoughts & practices

we become rigid in how we are willing to show up

When we become rigid we can only serve ego

rigidity makes us deaf to the word of God

rigidity makes us unable to hear the whisper of the soul

it makes us unable to show up for our life purpose

 

Spirit requires us to live in a state of adaptability, suppleness, flow. 

Spirit asks us to embrace a state of ease and trust

 

Lighten up

Celebrate life

this breath

this pulse

this moment

This life is as sacred as we make it

 

How would this moment change if you paused to feel and experience what is actually here instead of living in the illusion of your thoughts & the delusion of your repetitive stories.

 

What if this moment you felt the sun on your skin, the pulse of the heart, the breeze of the breath, listened to the sounds around you.  What if in this moment instead of focusing on productivity, you focused on being alive.  

 

Drop in to your sensual nature and indulge your senses in what is alive and real in this moment of grace that if gifted to your Now
