The message brought to you by your spirit guides is number 17.
Stretch and expand.
Comfort can be a wonderful thing.
But when we never stretch beyond our comfort zone,
We limit our possibilities and life becomes boring and stale.
You might say that our comfort zone defines and holds in place that which limits our upward growth and forward movement.
On the other hand,
Expanding our comfort zone allows us to bust through blocks of all varieties and experience the success,
Spontaneity,
And fulfillment we desire.
In life,
Dance,
Athletics,
And all forms of creativity and embodied movement,
When you feel the edge of discomfort and safely move beyond it,
You gain proficiency and ascend into higher levels of mastery.
You strengthen both body and mind.
You open up new channels of energy and new avenues of expression.
Just as you wouldn't push your body so hard that you injure yourself,
It's important to temper your discipline with loving awareness.
Stretching the body and trying something new can be exhilarating and joyful when done with mindful self-approval rather than harsh self-punishment.
Depending on what your intuition dictates,
This may look a number of ways.
It may be trying something that intimidates you,
Moving bravely through something strenuous,
Or simply stretching a tiny bit further each day.
An important aspect of the spiritual path involves recognizing the inner resistance that keeps you small and stops you from experiencing your heart's desires.
For example,
While even the most experienced performers still feel a degree of stage fright,
They also know that to deny their calling will only serve to crush their joy.
Additionally,
You will benefit from expanding your perspective and seeing other points of view.
Relax overly rigid opinions and consider the situation from every angle.
Allow your sense of reality to become more fluid.
Get comfortable with paradoxes and release either-or type thinking.
Be open to more than one thing being true at once.
To anchor this message into your body,
Stand on your tiptoes and reach your hands up to the sky.
Reach from fingers to toes while lengthening your spine.
Become as tall as you possibly can.
Then gently,
With a flat back,
Fold forward to touch your toes or reach towards your toes.
Continue this rhythmic movement,
Inhaling as you stretch upward and exhaling as you stretch down.
Gently invite your muscles to stretch farther each time while allowing your perspective to become more fluid and expansive as you move.
Any lengthening or strengthening form of embodied movement will help anchor this message,
Particularly when it takes you past your comfort zone.
When you listen to your body and lovingly push it further without stretching or strenuous exercise,
You will discover that pain and discomfort are nothing more than sensations.
Staying with the exercise in a safe and mindful way can reveal a deeper level of endurance excellence and personal power.
Reach for the cosmos,
Broaden your horizons,
Blaze through boundaries,
Move beyond apprehensive resistance and find the magical blessings on the other side.
Tap into new worlds of possibility.
You will surprise and delight yourself with just how far you can go.
