Yes With Joy

Do you ever have a feeling that you don’t want?  Is that feeling keeping you from doing something?  Does it feel like a fear?  Well, guess what happens when you try to suppress this fear…you are actually causing your body to pay more attention to it and to hold on to it.

Imagine pushing away a sticky, gooey blob. To keep pushing it away, you have to always be pushing against it.  This means that you are actually continually touching it.  So, in reality you are having more interaction with it than you want.  You just think that pushing it away will make it go away.  What it does is make it more present.

Try the opposite.  Feel the feeling, grow it (yes make it bigger), let the fear turn to excitement (which really feels the same but is just a different perspective) and watch as the feeling blows up.  Think of expanding a bubble until it pops. Quit being afraid of feeling it and allow it to come up.  You can even talk to your body and encourage or challenge it to allow the feeling to expand.  Repeat as necessary until you feel peaceful.

This works with all feelings good and bad.  But the result is that your feelings are no longer holding you back and weighing you down because you have let go.  And as often happens, at the moment of the pop, an insight is revealed and the next right action shows up.  And now you are ready to do it.

On Christmas Day, my granddaughter was born.  Everyone told me that the feelings of a grandmother are different than a mother, but I didn’t believe them.  Well, they were right.  My heart turns on just thinking of her.  When I was holding her, I found my love just pouring out of me.  And even as I write this, I can feel my heart start up and light the world around me.

Oh what a cool feeling.  Imagine all the good that can be done in the world if more people could feel this good all the time.  The world would literally be filled with love, peace and contentment.  Being a grandmother is great.  I’m so grateful that I was able to help my daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter during this wonderful transition time for their family.

What turns your heart on?  What gets your love motor running?

Obviously the world didn’t end on December 21^st.  We’re still here.  But I have noticed a major energy shift.  Have you?  Is your thinking clearer?  Has it been easier to clean things up?  Have you had an easier time making a difficult decision?  Or have you made that difficult decision and found out that once you actually decided, that the outcome was obvious?

I don’t know about you, but my family got a kick in the butt.  My youngest two children were involved in separate car accidents.  Both were rear ended at a stoplight.  Luckily they are fine.  Then my boyfriend was in another accident that was a little worse, but he’s fine too.  All this was within about 24 hours.  A car is how you move through life, so each of them got a message about how they were moving through their lives.

Since then, two of them have made positive decisions that have helped them feel better within themselves.  I’m still waiting for my youngest son’s decision.  I know it’s there, but he hasn’t shared it with me yet.  And if he hasn’t seen it yet, the Universe will give him another sign.

Another son, called with a decision to change the direction his life was headed.  My oldest daughter is waiting for her baby to arrive.  And as for me, I had a spurt of energy (even with a headache) and have been writing more.  I’m even finishing my first book and have a great idea (within the past two weeks) for the second.  It looks like everyone’s lives are getting readjusted and refocused.

Maybe this new energy is helping each of us to live the life we were meant to live…to fulfill the purpose that each of us has.   Wouldn’t it be great if everyone could live their life fulfilling their purpose on earth?  Do you know what your contribution to the world would be (or perhaps is)?  If you had no barriers, what could you do?
