Being open and loving requires a vitality and a flexibility of both the mind and the heart.
When I am less than open I am blocked. I build fences and walls around myself to keep away hurt, negativity, criticism and pain. Unfortunately those same walls and fences I built to protect me from getting hurt kept me from receiving love, joy, abundance and prosperity.
My own experience proved to me that we cannot have a wall and have our joy too.
It takes strength and courage to remain open.
It takes willingness and a certain knowledge that wherever we are it’s safe. It’s safe because we can consciously CHOOSE how we think, and therefore how we feel, about our life and circumstances.
Here’s something that inspires me. In a letter to Martha Graham, Agnes DeMille wrote these inspiring words:
“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening
that is translated through you into action,
and because there is only one of you in all time,
this expression is unique.
If you block it,
it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.
The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is;
not how valuable it is;
nor how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours,
clearly and directly,
to keep the channel open.
You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.
You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you.
Keep the channel open.
No artist is pleased.
There is no satisfaction whatever at any time.
There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction;
a blessed unrest that keeps us marching
and makes us more alive than others.”
Let’s be willing to look with compassion at areas where we’ve built walls to protect ourselves. Perhaps there are walls that have become like prison walls. Let’s set our intention to dissolve the blocks to Love and BE open and flexible by partnering up with the Higher Holy Spirit Self and putting Spirit in charge.
Today, we set ourselves free!
SUNDAY: FREE forgiveness workshop! Forgiveness is so healing it’s hard to believe how beneficial it is until you’re willing to really dive in. I’ve worked with so many people that have had healing at all levels simply because of the forgiveness they did. It works whether we believe it will or not. It’s miraculous. Forgive for our Freedom.
