Daily Nugget #61
being OK with what IS.
acceptance is the first step to change.
really.
i thought i was rockin this acceptance thing.
that i was really ok with ‘what is’.
turns out
there is a much deeper level to ‘what is’
and
acceptance of it
than i ever imagined.
to really be at peace with your current situation
is
harder than it seems.
BE OK with it.
‘yea, i can do that. no problem. it’s all good.’
when really
i feel like:
‘omg. why am i dealing with this again.
why am i not there yet? why am i feeling this way?
haven’t i worked on this enough? have i not cleared this yet?’
being OK with what IS
means
being at peace with WHATEVER
your situation or circumstance might be.
wherever you are.
even if you feel like you’ve been there forever.
wherever you are.
this does not mean
that you do not take action to change things.
it simply means that you settle in to the ok-ness
the inner peace
your calm center of knowingness
(that ALL of us have)
and trust
that It Is What It Is (for now)
i cannot change the now
however
i CAN change my reaction to it.
born out of your desire to change things
is a seed for newness.
Be OK with what IS
and
know that your desire for change
will inevitably bring it forth
as long as you ALLOW it.
remember
life wants to give us everything we seek
tho
we must be willing to receive it.
trust in YOU.
BE at peace in the NOW.
stay open to the unexpected.
receive with gratitude & delight.
honor how you FEEL & be ok with it.
It Is What It Is.
i see greatness in you.
are you willing to see it too?
the tree of What IS
tools for Being OK with what IS.
if you’d rather listen:
these tumultuous times (both inner and outer)
have ‘forced’ me to deepen my connecting to me.
i have learned that it feels better to feel better
than to let my circumstance sweep me away
and
pull me out of my center.
these are my tools for centering:
i tap into my earth & my star chakra.
you all know about the energy centers IN your body right?
the chakras.
there are many more than we know.
the 2 that i have been working with exist
about 18″ above the head
and
about 18″ below the feet.
on a daily basis (usually many many times a day, actually
cause that’s how many times life tries to pull me from center. ahem.)
i connect into both of these energy centers.
how?
sit.
close your eyes.
breathe. in thru the nose. out the mouth.
feel into your heart center.
feel its pulsing. beating. life force energy.
and
its love 🙂
from your heart center,
reach down thru you body and out your feet till you
run into the ball of light of your earth chakra.
ah.
that feels nice.
maintain the connection of energy
and
come back up thru your heart center
and
then up your body
and out
to your star chakra above your head.
ah. that feels nice too.
its a bit cooler tho infinitely connected
to all that is.
now
you are connected.
from your heart center
you are grounded into yourself,
connected into yourself
and to
ALL THAT IS.
practice practice.
Be OK with what IS.
love to you.
