Feel the wave of energy

Notice if you ride a wave of energy that no longer motivates or captivates or nourishes your soul, and you are losing momentum, then a simple shift in vibration will bring you into resonance with compatible swirls or streams of consciousness. True, lasting shifts require letting go or disidentification with waves of existence that stagnate or no longer serve our soul growth. Energies are like wave options that seem to flow in different directions, present in varied colours, textures, patterns, frequencies, temperatures.

Come what may, it is always possible to see beyond the drama, the jungle of emotions, apparent chaos or confusion. Simply step back from the personal to the universal. Dare to integrate valuable lessons, depersonalize events and refocus on energy flow. Be in awe of the bigger picture. Divine grace removes layers of complexity and illusion. From an energetic standpoint, the key is to go with the natural flow, heed the heart or intuition wherever it leads us.

What lets true light emerge?

Notice what will get through or touch a person's heart is not always obvious. At a given moment, we may taste deep longing to be open, vulnerable, yet remain closed off. What will crack the chest open? What will activate, let light emerge, from Heart and Soul? Entering into the unified energy field does, but to be here requires we consciously face the ultimate initiation. We may be touched by a sensitive gaze, pure presence, shaktipat. We may fall into love or hate with another. The hard thing is to be touched energetically, let inhibitions go. Once emotionally connected as friend or enemy, magic happens. Energy is harnessed, transformed, transmuted.

Growing or expanding into our mature energetic state happens very fast without resistance. Soul growth occurs as we endure sacrifice, challenges, letting go of what we think we value. Only then do we gain freedom at the expense of ego's neediness and fear. To attain fearlessness requires honouring oneSelf on all levels. Sounds easy. Yet, in practice, egoic thoughts suffer from bondage- distrust, dishonesty, disharmony. This dense energy weighs heavy.

That is, we come to distrust the self, the other, universe, and this can lead to paranoia, leading us to fear risk-taking, fear speaking our truth or being overbearing, while feeling we walk on eggshells. Resistance to love relates to those who cared for us and those who didn't meet or abandoned our needs, those who cared too much or too little. To integrate energies of both loving and neglectful carers in our field, restores balance. Fear of the unpleasant, unknowable, is another issue the ego finds hard to surmount. Yet, right now, infinite opportunites exist to shed light on darkness, find wholeness.

Let go of Attachments

Notice attachment to pleasure, is an obstacle that evokes suffering. We attach ourselves to sources of pleasure because we expect happiness from this, forgetting happiness is always in us as the essence of true Self. To expect joy from the external, from relationships, jobs or other experiences, is to create energetic attachments. If we find these things make us unhappy, we create an aversion to them. Likes and dislikes are impediments on the spiritual path. Basing our happiness and unhappiness on the external makes us feel powerless, dependent and unable to control our destiny. Although happiness seems the basic need of all, why does it seem so few rarely find it and actually dwell here?

Well, just as a pure, clean mirror reflects our true nature beneath and beyond the skin and bones, certain pure, clean faces reflect our core happiness. This is why its saidd the eyes are windows to the soul. We give our power away each time we look away, think a person or situation is reason for our happiness. Other faces and situations evoke discomfort, and our happiness is distorted. So, we tell ourselves we dislike them. This is simply ignorance. Only as we reconnect with core being, go through purification, let go of what distorts true nature do we begin to feel happy at a smiling face because it dawns this reflects our inner radiance. Sri Swami Satchindananda reminds us nothing and nobody an give or take away our happiness, only distort our own timeless inner happiness. This is echoes in the timeless Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Thus, only as we connect deeply with Self is it possible to exude this happines or true nature. Its not based on what we do but being intimate and reconnecting with the truth of who we are. As we grow increasingly fearless, our destiny presents in greater clarity. Its up to each of us to seize the day, and listen to the heart to feel truly alive. Only then do we authentically allow fun and spontaneity to arise and be our compass does soul consciously guide the course of our lives.
