3 things to thrive where you are
Tuesday, March 13, 2018 at 10:05AM 
This moment is ripe for so many things. Like smelling an inviting avocado, you feel the time to sink your teeth in is now. You could go in some many directions. What are you choosing to focus your attention on?
Perhaps its relationships, getting fit, noticing what's going on inside you, the urge to create or do something you have not done before. You may even be planning a retreat (like me!) or envision attending one, because you wish to travel somewhere new to trigger 'ah-ha' moments along your spiritual journey. As fun as that can be, you can also do things right where you are. Whatever the apparent subject, wherever you happen to be, do these three things to thrive:
1. Listen to the voice in your head
That little voice inside you echoes all the time because you choose to hear it. Listening to this voice or advisor is a kind of security. (A predictable paycheck is not the only kind of security after all). This voice is the judge, the part of you that wishes to control and plan, feels comfortable with the familliar as points of reference. The world unfolding is unrelated to the filters in your mind which dictate how you perceive it. Honing and sharpening how you listen to this voice enables you to see the world and yourself from a new place.
2. Discover who watches the voice
That which watches the voice is the silent One. It is the awareness of who is talking, the tones and intensity of the sounds, and who is doing the listening. Its the part of you that asks why you need the commentator, the problem-seeker. This is the part of you that feels at ease in any situation and sees value in whatever is happening. This is the threshold of leaping into a deeper enjoyment of your chosen focus of attention
3. Focus more often on the breath
The breath is the path of consciousness. You can engage in breathwork, and use other means to tune into the wisdomwithin yourself. It is possible to engage in life on this level by riding waves of energy like a cosmic surfer through timelines past, present and future. You can move through a range of emotions and experiences, explore different roads of life your contemplate, even revisit things you thought you missed out on. Go through the process of forgiving, letting go, and getting over or integrating things on a whole new level. This is that which is beyond the doer and watcher. Re-dream the dream from here.
