If you ever feel stressed, anxious, tight, constricted, or otherwise tense in any way, the obvious antidote is simply to relax.

Of course, shifting from a state of tension to relaxation can seem very difficult for many of us. However, it becomes much easier when we remember that relaxation, not tension, is our natural state of being.

A state of tension actually requires you to expend energy: you have to work to create and maintain it. Not so with a state of relaxation, which is natural.

When you choose to let go of everything and “just be,” what happens?  You relax, naturally. It’s your default setting, so to speak.

And then when you relax, your vibrations rise and your awareness increases. You get out of your head and into your heart, and new, creative solutions to whatever caused you to tense up in the first place can present themselves.

So if you ever feel tense in any way, choose to pause for a moment. Take 3 deep breaths, center in your heart, and just relax, naturally. Return to your natural state of being.

Your entire experience will improve as a result!

 

Change is constant.

Do you embrace change? Do you welcome the new, different and exciting into your experience? Or do you resist change? Do you cling to what’s old, familiar and comfortable, even if it is actually uncomfortable or painful, and not beneficial to you or others?

Almost all of us resist change to some degree, usually because of fear: fear of the unknown and what change might bring, fear that making changes might be too hard, and more.

Actually, everything is in a state of constant flux or change. It is only our perception, and often our attachment to things staying the same, that makes them appear to stay the same.

Even though many things in your experience may appear to stay the same over time, be it hours, days, years or more, that is an illusion.

Consider that everything you experience is comprised of energy vibrating at different frequencies. The frequency of that energy determines how it shows up in your experience: a fact acknowledged by science and spirituality alike.

Consider also that this energy of everything is actually creating and re-creating itself, moment by moment, constantly: another fact that science and spirituality agree on. It is only our perception, individually and collectively, that causes things to stay the same over time.

Actually, what’s happening is that we are creating and re-creating the same experiences from moment to moment, over and over again, often unwittingly or unconsciously. We do so because of our fear of change, and yet we all have the power to change anything, in any given moment, as individuals and collectively.

Change is constant, and you, I, and all of us have the power to change and create anything our hearts desire, now and always. We only need to remember our power as creators and co-creators of every aspect of our experience, and then consciously choose to make the changes we want, in order to experience them.

Choosing to live in a state of flow and non-resistance allows all aspects of your life experience to proceed with freedom, grace, harmony and ease.

To determine your state in any given moment, simply notice how you feel in that moment. If you feel tense, stressed, constricted, blocked or otherwise “tight,” you’re in a state of resistance. If you feel relaxed, peaceful, free or otherwise “open,” you’re in a state of flow and non-resistance.

Resistance happens when our ego does not want to experience something, whatever it may be. This resistance in our mind creates tension in our physical body and lowers our overall vibration, which negatively affects the energies that we’re sending out. As a result we actually feed whatever we resist with more energy, which draws more of it to us.

To shift your state into one of flow and non-resistance, whenever you feel resistance in any way, observe where your attention and thoughts are focused at that moment. Most likely, you’ll see that they’re focused on something that you don’t want.

At that point, consciously shift your attention and thoughts to what you do want, and keep them focused there. Allow what you want to flow to you, and be open to receive it.

Simultaneously, allow yourself to let go of all attention and thoughts of what you don’t want. Don’t resist or pushing against them in any way; just let them go. If that involves physically removing yourself from a situation, then do it.

Letting go of what you don’t want doesn’t mean ignoring, denying or disregarding it in any way. You simply acknowledge its existence, and then shift your focus to what you do want, instead.

When you stop adding energy to what you don’t want, and consciously direct your energies to what you do want instead, you align with it and allow it to move towards you.

In doing so, you consciously choose to live in a state of flow and non-resistance.

 

 

Often, our culture, society and world cause us to look outside of ourselves for what we desire.

As a result, we often end up coveting and attaching to what we desire, striving and “efforting” for it, and then we feel disappointed, frustrated or even angry when we don’t receive it. This experience can happen with material things and possessions, guidance, validation, spiritual truths, relationships and many other things.

It can be wonderfully liberating to take a step back, let go of our ego’s attachments to whatever it believes will fulfill it, and remember that all we truly desire is already present within us.

Whatever it is that you want, what you really seek are the feelings that you believe will come from having it. Nothing outside of you contains them.

So why chase after “outer” things, sometimes at great cost to yourself and others, when everything that you desire – and much more – is already present and available within you?

Think of anything that you want, and ask yourself: “What do I believe I will experience by receiving this?” Then, as vividly and clearly as possible, imagine that you already have what you want. Really feel that you have it right here and now, and allow the experience to be as real as possible.

Relax and revel in that experience for as long as you can. Let go of having the thing that you believe will bring it to you, and realize that you’ve already created what you really desire (the feeling of having it) within you.

It’s fine to experience “outer” things as well; the key is to realize that you don’t need them to enjoy the feelings that you experience from having them. You can let go of any attachments to them.

Doing this exercise for all that you desire will give you the experience of having them right here and now. It will also help you to attract them into your “outer” experience more effectively as well!

 

Relax; there is no need to get, go, do or experience anywhere or anything else than where and what you are, right here and now. You are already exactly where you need to be, now and always.

Every moment is perfect for you, as it is for all of us. You always have the freedom to choose your experience, and if you ever desire a different experience, you’re always free to choose it.

Every moment of “Now” is its own destination and reward. You, I, and all of us are co-creating every aspect of our experience, whether we realize it consciously or not.

We all have the freedom and power co-create whatever we desire, in every moment of Now. Sometimes we forget fact this during our adventures of life, which causes us to give our power away to influences we see as outside of ourselves.

When you remember that you have already arrived, and that in this moment of Now you have the freedom and power to co-create any experience your heart desires, an entire universe of possibilities opens up for you.

You have already arrived!

Anytime you feel afraid, tense, stressed, anxious, resistant, blocked, unbalanced, or otherwise off-center in any way, consciously choosing to center in your heart has an immediate positive effect.

When you return to your center, you relax. Your true awareness returns and expands. You feel an opening of your being as your energy returns to harmony and balance. You come home to your Self.

Physically, you naturally proceed to breathe more easily, deeply and consciously.

Spiritually, you clear the way for your guides and your Self to assist you more effectively.

When you center in your heart your energies rise, your intuition guides you, and your heart leads the way. The answers, solutions and results you need can manifest for you, often in unexpected, ‘miraculous’ and ‘magical’ ways.

Return to your center and allow Love to lead you!

In a world that often feels very “hard,” literally and figuratively, it can be very relaxing and healing to “soften” in Love.

To soften in Love, breathe deeply into your heart, feel the Love that is always present and available within you, and allow it to expand and fill your entire being, naturally and effortlessly.

Visualize and feel the Love in your heart as the warm, healing, divine energy and light that it is. Breathe and allow your Love to expand, radiate and flow freely, to, with, as, of, for, all.

As you do so, allow your Love to dissolve and soften any “hardness” in your being. Let go of fear, tension, stress, blocks, resistance and/or any other energies that need healing, clearing and release.

You are a powerful being of light. When you let go, surrender and soften in Love, we all share the benefits!

You Are Love. I am Love. We are all Love!

Relax, breathe, center in your heart, surrender and let go of all that feels “unloving” in your being. Be the Love that you are, naturally, now and always.

Allow the Love that you are to flow, radiate and circulate freely, infinitely and endlessly, throughout your entire heart, mind, body, soul, experience, existence, spirit and being, to, with, as, of, for, all. That includes you, of course!

Initially there may be resistance from your ego-mind, yet the process is effortless. Simply allow the Love that you are to flow, and it will. Feel it in your heart. Soften and surrender into the bliss, light, joy, peace and divine harmony that is always present and available within.

Be the Love that you are.

 

As we continue to evolve and awaken to our true Divine nature, we are guided to remember our true connections to Self and All.

Our experiences of living in the third dimension have been based in duality and separation, which are aspects of existence in the lower dimensions.

Now, as we awaken and ascend into the higher dimensions, it is essential to remember and allow our true connections to ourselves and All. We could call it “reconnecting” to Self and All, although there is no need to reconnect because we were never disconnected in the first place. We simply chose to believe that we were.

As part of our experience of incarnation in physical, human form, we chose to temporarily forget our true connections to Self and ALL. We have chosen to deny our true Divine nature in order to grow and evolve by rediscovering it.

Our society and culture reflects the loss of our true connections. In many ways, despite being more connected via technology, transportation and such, we feel more isolated than ever. It’s time to move beyond that. We can use technology to communicate and initiate interpersonal connections, and then we can choose to set it aside. We can experience and expand our true connections with others in community, and with ourselves in our hearts.

When you choose to remember, renew and expand your true connections to your Self and All, you accelerate your individual awakening and ascension, and the collective awakening and ascension of All.

As Divine energies continue to flow and circulate at higher levels than ever before, we are all experiencing unprecedented shifts and changes in many aspects of our lives.

The entire planet Gaia, and all who are with her on this journey, are receiving this influx of Divine light. As a result, anything that may be considered “dark” is being revealed as it comes up for healing and release.

Although chaos, conflict, “evil,” and other low-frequency or negative energetic creations may appear to be increasing in our world, it’s helpful to remember that all such “darkness” is only showing itself now because of the great increase of light on the planet. Such darkness has always existed; it has just remained hidden or unacknowledged until now.

In truth, there is no such thing as “darkness.” There is only Love (light), or its absence where Love is blocked, suppressed or resisted in some way. In this experience of duality, we are always free to welcome Love or reject it. More and more of us welcome it as planetary vibrations rise.

View any apparent darkness as an opportunity to add more Love and light to the world, on any level that you choose. Every time you do, you make a huge difference for us all.

Share your Love and shine your Light for all!
