Ready for a change of pace

Regardless of your focus, there comes a point where the heart resonates a change of pace appeals.  It could be you sense you outgrow a certain setting or activity.  It may be you are evolving in ways that diverge from the interests of your entourage. It may feel as though you are drawn in a particular direction that you cannot explain. The question is, to what or to whom are you listening?  What motivates or inspires the next step?

"People only see what they are prepared to see." - Ralph Waldo Emerson 

What you are is always here

What you are is always here.  To simply be, do nothing.  In the same moment, you are drawn to experience a process of letting go of everything.  How does it feel to be the void? You intuitively know you are not the body, not the mind, not the emotions, not the intellect or any of those things that you adopt. Faith and belief contain sparks of doubt.

Notice what happens as the essence of being is awake and aware of re-orienting back to itself.  The experience of the absolute is unfolding within you right now.  Nothing but the total spontaneous happening is ever happening.  Awareness is every pointer here.

"Deep listening is miraculous for both listener and speaker. When someone receives us with open-hearted, non-judging, intensely interested listening, our spirits expand.”
-Sue Patton Thoele

Dig deeper and see what remains

Notice what occurs as you investigate who is the doer of your apparent actions. Reflect on the process, perceptions and the unfolding. Observe how much real control you have over each step. Discover 'Who' wants to know. What is the truth about the 'me' and the 'I' ?  Notice the impact on any spiritual seeking.  What reveals itself?

Consider the implications of concluding no individual is responsible for any action. This basic concept echoes in the Advaita. What if every moment, what unfolds is viewed as the prevailing will of God or Source or Cosmic Law? Where does this leave 'you'?

"Understand that the body Is merely the foam of a wave, The shadow of a shadow."
- Buddha

Share a mantra or prayer

Notice whether a particular mantra or prayer stands out for you.  What is the heart telling you? Share your own revelations about this moment and what message a mantra or prayer offers. Observe the impact on your focus of attention and more.

"The mantra becomes one's staff of life and carries one through every ordeal. Each repetition has a new meaning, carrying you nearer and nearer to God."
- Mahatma Gandhi

“The person who regularly recites mantra attains liberation from the fears of disease and death.” - Yajur Veda

Be the compassionate universe

Be aware that energy creates reality.  Be aware of what is real.  You nurture what you see with thoughts and emotions. Nature remains as you let go of all that is nurtured. Go within. Feel connected to everyone and everything and the truth reveals itself.  You exist to evolve your consciousness.  Notice whether you listen to the heart (intuition). Allow yourself to be in the empty space that exists within the heart. Be that in silence.

Consider what happens from the moment you choose to live in empathy, to help, serve or empower others with love and appreciation. You begin to sense what it feels like to do the right thing and intuitively do it. You begin to go deeper within yourself and know the universe you are.  Interconnected universes are held together with compassion. You are the fabric of everything that has ever existed and all that is in this moment.  All that is unfolding invites you to let go of what stands in the way of accepting the real you.
