Living the Way
When you dance, others dance with you. By surrendering to life as an experiment, you resist nothing and flow through states of discomfort with grace. Surrendering comes in the form of intuition and choosing the highest intention for your expansion. From this place, you naturally share your gifts and others expand with you if they are ready to do so. I no longer consent to my brain’s fears of how I will help others, if I have something to give, or what others’ might think of my choices. I simply show up as I am and allow what is meant to come through to come through, from an experiential place, a witnessing place, and a place of surrender. The source of wisdom flows not from textbooks or teachers or healers, but from a witnessing experience within you. Other sources of information may guide you on your path as you align with them, but when you live the way you were meant to - from your intuitive knowing - you speak without hiding and wisdom flows from you. My journey has led me to knowledge and training and degrees that provide value and credibility on one level, but the true gift I offer - my life’s work - comes from the practice of healing and surrender in myself. All things flow from the experience of being with yourself, as courageously as you can, in each moment. As you tune into the radiant source of truth within you, which never falters and is always available, remember you have what you need in every moment.
Certainly, some things in life require preparation, rehearsal, and practice, but I invite you to see that the practice of what you have to give can also be the practice of your daily life. Whatever it is you hope or believe you have to give, remember that this gift or capacity or skill flows most freely when you embody it in state of natural flow, passion, and inspiration. When you can discover the natural state of surrender within you, you begin to live the way you speak and speak the way you live. There is no pretense and, therefore, no anxieties of what may be uncovered from hiding. The only anxiety from living the way stems from what others may think of your truth, but that is none of your business. If the gift you have to offer is markedly different from who you are as a person, consider whether this is really your gift or if you have simply willed yourself to practice this particular art or skill by force. Many work in conditions and circumstances not of their choosing and I send them my love and blessings, this is not an indictment of traumatic personal or professional situations that require such sacrifice. It is an invitation for those who do have a choice but may not yet realize it, and for those who may see with increased awareness that the struggle and strife around their chosen “work” or “profession” can be an extension of their living purpose. Work and play need not be mutually exclusive, you can learn to play in the way you serve others and serve others in the way you play.
By charting a path with clarify and conviction, and opening up to the joy of being in your truth, your work will not require such effort but will fall off the bone like a tender roast. As you choose to step out from the shadows of your compartmentalized life, remove the barriers between “professional” and “personal” as much as your conditions allow, and move into the light without hiding, you will discover that a rising tide lifts all boats in the context of your life. As you move in alignment in all circumstances, you will see the impact of all encounters with family, friends, and strangers alike. The seemingly disparate parts of who you are will begin to coalesce and you will walk through the world with a unified sense of who you are in each moment. Abundance flows because you are continuously in service of yourself and others and are naturally rewarded for living in such a state. The hours you spend trying to be, look, or speak a certain way can be replaced by the practice of living in alignment with your truth and surrendering to the highest authority within you.
