Is this pandemic causing each of us to go deeply inward to the place we truly are? Are we realizing how delicate life is? How temporary? I know many people who have come out of hiding, including me.
It took me years, well into adulthood to express publicly my psychic and channeling abilities. My fears included thoughts like, “But…what about those people who don’t approve? The skeptics? They’ll think I’m a fake. They’ll look at me weird.
“What about them? They seem to have no problem expressing who they are, whether or not you agree with them. They haven’t withered away into oblivion just because you don’t share their beliefs. And neither will you,” my Higher Self reminds me.
“You have this ability in order to help others. Those who do believe and those who are in need will find you. If you shut down this essential part of yourself and keep it hidden, whom are you helping?”
Everyone is on their own path, their own level of spiritual evolution, of believing in what they believe. And that is ok. If you base your actions on what you think others believe, you are short-changing not only yourself, but those who need your help.
That’s like a giraffe lowering its head to conform to other animals, but then not being able to reach the leaves high above to feed others or their young.
But how do I distinguish my outer-world personality from my inner-world Knowing Self? How do I reach higher?
That’s easy…and hard. It involves stopping all action, sitting still, and being–experiencing–this tiny, singular moment, where breathing happens, where sound happens, where sensing happens.
Thoughts happen, too, but they need to be tamed–not eliminated–just tamed. They need to know that you’re the one in control. Thoughts are like children. They pull you this way and that toward what they want to focus on. Thoughts pull you out of the present and into the past.
Thoughts pull you into the future where attachment happens, where hopes, dreams, and desperation, fear, and worry happen.
But, the present is just the present where You, your Higher Self, your every breath, exist now, in this tiny moment.
Ask yourself: Am I OK in this moment? The answer is almost always, Yes.
But I can’t figure out ____________.
That’s OK. Let go. The answer will come. It happens in the future.
But I feel regret about ____________.
That’s OK. That was then, unchangeable. It happened in the past.
What is the value of this moment?
This moment is where your power lies. The power to make decisions. To intuit answers. To listen to your Higher Self. To feel your next impulse of inspiration toward your goal. To expand in abundance and success. To choose to feel gratitude. To choose to feel Love.
Use this moment to stop all action, sit still, close your eyes, and sense your Higher Self or your Spirit Guides. Ask them how they would handle a certain situation. Ask your questions in this moment of stillness.
Now that they have your attention, and because you asked, they will answer. Maybe not immediately. Sometimes answers arrive within hours, sometimes days. Be open.
In this moment of stillness, you can discover your deepest self wanting to rise and be seen, so that you can share it with the world.
