Acceptance and Gratitude

Acceptance and gratitude are two powerful states, that are needed in order for you to allow the energy of life to flow and manifestation of your desires to occur

Transcript

Today with JSE Health we're going to explore acceptance and gratitude for what is.

So often we try to sculpt and mould that which is around us.

As humans we do this with nature creating cities that are more comfortable for us to live in,

Trying to control the weather so that we may never experience the extremes of exposure.

Not wanting to feel trapped in the cold,

Trying to always be safe and control that which is uncontrollable,

So that we can feel like we are steering the ship and not the universal God shaping us.

We think we can outsmart anything if we use the power of our mind to control it,

But we forget we have our heart and that we are spiritual beings too.

We even trick ourselves into thinking we can control others,

That we can make them into versions that meet our needs,

Projecting our wants and insecurities onto others.

We struggle and grasp trying to make things what we think they should be,

Not accepting what they are.

Not trusting the dance that is life or having faith that this life is serving our highest good,

Our soul's expansion,

Because it is.

We need to stop blaming ourselves for where we are,

Who we are and the choices we have made.

Thinking ourselves a failure,

Unworthy and unlovable because we stumble from time to time.

A child learning to walk does not stop picking themselves up and trying again and again just because they keep falling over.

We may scrape our knees as we stumble and land in the dirt,

Rocks digging into our hands like shards of glass as we braced ourselves from the fall,

But here in the dirt is where everything grows.

Plants and trees grow from its rich fertile soil.

It is the foundation,

Solid and supportive.

It's not going anywhere.

It won't leave you.

It will always be there.

As you sit or lie here,

Feel the earth holding you,

Carrying all your weight without effort.

You do not need to carry yourself right now,

But let go.

There is nowhere further to fall.

It has you in its loving embrace.

Feel as though you are almost melting into the ground,

Becoming a part of it,

Like ice melting on a warm sunny day.

It's here without judgment,

Without expectation,

But simply loving and supporting you for who you are.

Not what you do or what you think you are or people think you are in their view,

But you just simply being the positive warm loving energy you are at your core.

Feel now your soul buzzing with radiating light energy.

Feel it tingle in your body radiating down your spine.

Take a moment and breathe in and out,

Pausing with each breath.

In and out.

Follow the breath and feel your body alive with this energy,

This tingling electricity.

Feel it buzz in your fingertips,

In your toes,

Tingling on your lips,

Pounding in your heart.

This joyous energy is you.

You are love.

This is your true essence and I'm here to tell you,

You are amazing.

You are beautiful.

You are loved.

Honey,

You are loved for you in your entirety.

You do not need to do anything to deserve this love.

Love is not something to be deserved.

It is your birthright.

It simply is who you are.

You came from great love into this world and you're here to relearn this truth.

You are here so you can experience all life has to offer.

The highs floating in the clouds weightless and the depths in the dark chasms where you cannot see the light.

The crazy mess of it all.

For here there is beauty in this chaos and the beauty is the expansion of your soul.

Do not settle for a life that is mundane and safe.

You are not here to be trodden on and ignored but rise like the Sun and shine your truth.

Let the world see how luminous and luscious you are in your entirety.

Every part of you is valuable,

Worthy and needed.

Do not break yourself into segments trying to make yourself more palatable for others so that they may feel so that you may feel accepted and loved.

You do not need to do this.

You are enough as you are.

All of you.

Even the parts of you you are not so proud of.

The parts of you you recoil from.

Those are the parts of you that deserve the most love and your light shone on them.

These paths exist to show you where your work is so you can learn and grow to be the best version of you and to take you to a higher level.

We need to accept that every choice we made was right for us in that moment.

Do not regret anything that has led you to where you are now in this moment.

I want you to listen to the story you tell yourself.

What script is being written?

Is the mind dictating how you see the world?

Is it based on old patterns,

Worn out projections like black and white film,

Poking old wounds to see if they still hurt,

Whether they've been mended,

Tormenting yourself,

Replaying these old movies of situations,

Trying to rewrite the script instead of accepting things as they are.

They are an experience.

Nothing more.

You can learn something in every situation.

I'm sure you can think of a time when all was dark and the air so thick like smoke you thought you'd never find your way out the door of the burning house to the fresh air to breathe.

Gasping with your burning lungs as you drink as you drank in as much of the freshness as you could after being trapped in the thick dark smoke.

And you got through.

You are far stronger and more resilient than you realize.

You have survived all of your worst days and I'm sure you can think of a true joy in your life.

Moments like pearls and a clam that you hold tight in your chest.

Forever precious.

And both these types of experiences only on reflection can you see how important they were and the true impact they had when you look back.

We are co-creating this life with a higher consciousness.

Call it God,

The universe,

Whatever feels most comfortable to hum in your heart.

Sometimes we reject and attack the image we see reflected in the pool of the water as it looks back at us.

It's coolness and calm not seen as something that is cleansing us but as something that is numbing us,

Denying us from what we want,

Keeping what we want an illusion.

But it is not so.

Everything that is happening in our lives we called into being.

Like a stone tossed overboard tumbling into the deep dark ocean.

These challenges are not designed to weaken us or drag us down like that stone but instead is trying to awaken us to what we need to learn and see for our ultimate growth in this life.

I know at times it can feel like the pressure around you is crushing you sucking the air from your lungs and you feel like you are drowning.

Like you will never reach the surface,

Like you will never breathe.

Everything is against you and pulling you down but like the current the more you fight and attack what is the more exhausted you will become and the harder it is to get to the shore.

Instead if you accept life's rhythms and swim across the current instead of against it your feet again will touch the ground.

It's so easy to get used to longing and struggling that you forget you can float.

For everything that is meant for you will never miss you.

Everything that is meant for you will come into your life and anything that has missed you was never intended for you.

It left to clear something new into your life that will serve your soul more.

Something else that is meant for you.

You will have all you desire if you let it come instead of worrying and fighting the flow.

But trust that your desires will be fulfilled.

Continue to work towards your goal with an open and giving heart.

You don't need to do anything in particular but the more you see the small blessings around you even if they're small be grateful.

Be grateful that you can breathe,

That the sun shines,

The smell of the earth after the rain a smile from a stranger,

A hug,

Someone taking time to listen and try and be part of your world.

The more you will see these small gifts the more other wonders you'll see in your life.

Even if you can only see them fleetingly like a rainbow the more you are grateful the more things you will find that you can be grateful about.

So make sure your eyes are closed right now and I want you to visualize all you desire.

Don't just think about it but I want you to really feel it.

Feel how you want to feel when you are loving the life you want.

Feel now the smile dance on your lips.

Give in to the true feeling of joy and don't hold back like we often do trying to protect ourselves.

Feel the real joy,

Love and excitement of having everything you want.

You can have it.

All the joy you want to access you can have it here right now in this moment.

Really believe you have it.

Trust that and it will be so.

Let go and accept what is.

You are a miracle.

The chances of being you are born one in a million and yet it is you that is here.

Know that you are here for a purpose.

Have faith and be excited at the adventure of life where you don't know how it will play out but know that it will be all you desire and more.

So like the ocean washing over you like it washes over the sand.

Feel renewed.

Feel hope.

You can have everything you want.

You just have to trust.

You just have to trust and believe.

Beautiful food for thought and meditation with experiential guidance of feeling that which we desire- I will return for this again! Thank you!. & in the interest of having return listeners, the quality of the recording playing ocean waves near the end was startling in my earbuds and would be ideal to have a more seamless recording.
