I’m enjoying a few days of rest and relaxation with David Hoffmeister and we’ve been talking about our journey of awakening. I was sharing that I’d gotten a bit stressed out the other day and I’d really felt it. It’s been a while since I felt some stress and it was a good remembrance for me.
Fortunately, I do know that when there’s a feeling of stress or distress it means that I’m not thinking clearly and that’s my indication to stop relying on myself and Partner UP! Moving into a communion, into prayer and connection with the Higher Holy Spirit Self I find I immediately am back in alignment, and that hasn’t always been easy for me to do.
This morning David and I were talking and he reminded me of a line in A Course in Miracles, ” … the more you look at fear the less you see it, …”
When there’s a sense of fear or stress, many people will make the choice to do something to deny it or to make it real. People frequently move to try to sublimate it or stuff it OR to jump on it like a train and ride it into the darkness and despair of separation thinking.
It’s good to know that there are other choices – such as taking a few minutes to actually BE with the feeling and to examine it. All fear, all stress is based on misperception. Healing does mean being willing to course correct and the fastest way to do that is to Partner UP!
When we align with the Divine then we can experience grace. We have to be willing to let go of our point of view so that we can see with Divine eyes. When we’re willing to give up our point of view and consider the eternal truth of this moment then we can discover that the truth really does set us free.
What are you believing that isn’t true? Is it stressing you out? One way to start the healing is to actually consider any place in your life where you’re feeling some stress or fear. If you Partner UP and willingly look at what you believe, you will see that you’ve been trying to convince yourself of something that isn’t actually true. When you affirm the truth, you’ll experience grace and true freedom. Relief is just a thought away. Phew!
Thank you Jennifer! I sooo needed the reminder to step back and “Align with the Divine”!
