When we choose to soften and listen in our life, we begin to open up to

a deeper place within ourselves that is powerful on its own without

pushing it in any direction by paying close attention we flow into

be-ing. Giving ourselves permission to connect to our inner voice and

surroundings takes passive action - it's softer, more sensitive. This

may be scary for some of us to allow the world to come to us but

actually it takes us into parts of ourselves that may not be readily

attuned. We all have this ability but it takes practice to see and be

who we are. We have the freedom to ignore everything but if we take he

time to soften, light a candle, say a prayer creating a sacred place we

will uncover this grand energy that is closer to you than your breath.

Before you do you do your practice, I invite you to check in to see

if you have the tendency to just push through and not listen to your

body and perhaps you can deepen your awareness by creating a space to

let the world come to you and receive.
