SHARING: The call to adventure is the point in a person’s life when they are first given notice that everything is going to change, whether they know it or not. ~~Joseph Campbell, The Heros Journey With all our best intentions and rich resources, why is it so hard to slow down, simplify, and care for ourselves? Why do most clearing efforts fall short or peter out? Why are we so afraid to let go? Our drive to attain and succeed comes at a great cost to the soul. We are malnourished, if not starved, when it comes to compassionate self-acceptance, awareness, and care. We yearn for simplicity but struggle to find it. We ache for balance but cant sustain it. There is no time to juggle it all, let alone clear the things and thoughts that have caused us to feel so overwhelmed in the first place. After years of study, deep inquiry, and personal experience, heres what I know for sure: • For clearing to last you need to put yourself first. You wont make a dent in reducing the stress and stuff until youve healed the the patterns that created it. If you dont feel safe, you wont let go. Clearing is an inside job that begins and ends with you. • For clearing to last you need to change your mindset. Clearing is not something you do or squeeze into your life. Its a way of life - a journey - that doesnt always add up, make sense, or go in a straight line. Clearing is not about getting rid of. Its about letting go of the things and thoughts that get in the way of realizing your true nature and best life. • For clearing to last you need to slow down. Clearing old habits and resisting behaviors is not possible until you slow it …way …down. In a world that is all about speed, this requires awareness. Daily doses of it. Slow drip efforts applied consistently over time are the real game changer here. These messages you are receiving here are like a time-release nourishment for the soul. They are designed to develop your clearing muscle, and grow new habits that will expand exponentially and last a lifetime. Their wisdom will work on you all day! These guidelines will help you gain the most from your experience: • Be open. As you start to peel away the layers of your former self, not everything will make sense to you. Suspend judgment, be open, and be willing to not know. You may be pleasantly surprised. If a message mystifies you, just be with that. • Stop and feel. The daily contemplations, inspirations, and practices will open you up to new information. Notice and allow the emotional weather” to arise to the degree that you can handle it. • Receive and nourish. Read each message at least twice: once to get the overview and general vibe, and a second time to deepen your experience. If you can, give yourself at least one minute to receive its wisdom. • Take your time and keep it moving. You don’t want to go so fast that you miss making vital connections. Similarly, be mindful not to get bogged down in details. If you do fall behind simply notice it, jump ahead if you have to, and allow your “missing out” button to get pushed. Use the experience as another lesson in letting go. • Don’t identify. Most of what you’ll be feeling is the release of stuck energies that come from the past, from other people, and from your (and other people’s) living spaces. Unpleasant sensations usually pass to the degree that you don’t make them “yours.” • Allow silence. Silence creates openings and opportunities to feel. Don’t be afraid of it. • Have fun! Don’t take yourself or anything that happens too seriously. Being less attached to an outcome will raise your energy level, expand your perspective, and lighten your load.
