Why strangle the LIFE out of LIFE …………………….. ?
You CAN walk around all uptight and knotted in a ball as you demand that things unfold in yourtime (or at least believing that your demands have something to do with the unfolding of things), OR, you can soften, relax, yield, and allow life to unfold in its own time.
It’s a simple choice.
You CAN move about with the utmost tension and tightness, literally squeezing the light out of life …… OR, you can move about with the utmost ease, softening and relaxing as LIFE moves you.
Simply put, wherever there is tension or uptightness, there is the stifling of the flow of life …….. The flow that IS, becomes stunted, muffled, hindered, and the YOU that is YOU is not given full opportunity to shine.
When we are consumed with our own stories of uptightness, we quite literally find ourselves bumping in to everything and everyone, missing the openings of grace that pepper our every moment.
Instead of encountering the harmonious ease of Being, we encounter the hardened edges of defensiveness and judgement, both in ourselves, and in others.
So as you relax (which isn’t a blank ‘doing nothing’), the space around you will relax … and instead of bumping up against the unyielding edges of the personal self, you will know yourself as the ease of Being, malleable and light, joyful and deeply at peace – The unencumbered presence of LOVE.
The more you RELAX, the more you will feel, hear and intuit the ever new movement of life as it erupts through you ……… nudging you this way, steering you that. The more you RELAX, the more you will experience the flow of things, knowing and trusting in to the movements that love you unconditionally.
So let go of the fretting, the over-doing, the forcing ……… and abide in the peace of tension-free BEING.
And rather then postponing this till later, till a more ‘convenient‘ moment … Relax, More, Now.
Relax the tensions (the obvious and the subtle). Relax the attempt to hold on, controlling and cajoling life. Relax the contracting that imprisons you within a self of your own making ………. and allow your SELF, to shine bright.
