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.
