In a world where so much focus is placed externally,
Achieving things externally,
Seeking approval externally,
Being distracted by many things externally,
It can be a rebellious act to turn inwards and really connect with yourself,
To find out what answers lie within you,
To listen to your body,
To listen to your heart,
To listen to your soul.
In today's world there's a huge increase in artificial intelligence and so many people are seeking to AI for answers,
Asking questions,
Wanting to find the answers externally.
Now,
Using AI isn't necessarily a problem.
It depends on how much we are using it,
And how much we depend on it,
And for what information we seek.
Are we asking AI before we listen to our own heart?
Are we seeking the answers from AI before we really listen to the whispers of our soul and pay attention to the insights that our body is giving?
What if the answers and the solutions to any challenge that you may be experiencing right now already lies within you?
And what if life is offering you everything you need right now already?
The mind often jumps to what is missing,
Thinking that when I have fill in the blank,
Then I will be happy,
Or then I will be successful,
Or then I will fill in the blank.
This continuous searching and seeking externally,
Forgetting that so much lies within the present moment,
That so many gifts are in the here and now.
Noticing all the little big things in life in the present moment,
The little things that really are the big things.
And one of the easiest ways to start connecting to that is to pay attention to what your senses are bringing to your awareness.
Noticing what you see,
What you hear,
What you sense,
What you smell,
What you taste.
Noticing the details of that,
Those little big things that become the nourishment,
The gifts to guide you forward in life.
What if life is offering everything that you need right now?
Now of course this doesn't mean to say that if for example you need a particular document or that you need to get a car or that you need to find a job and earn money doesn't mean to say that we can't bring new things into our life and also material things,
Though it's finding that balance and really taking a moment to slow down enough to pay attention to what is right here,
To notice what life is presenting to you right now.
What if you are held and supported by life already?
What if life is guiding you and showing you the way already?
Get stuck in different stories and loops,
Focusing on the lack or believing that there's no way out.
And by using opening questions or simply just the two words what if can start to open up the awareness to what else can be possible what else can be experienced right now what if life is guiding you already What if life is showing you the way already?
What if it's simply just a case of slowing down and noticing it,
Reconnecting to the breath,
Tuning into the senses,
Coming back to the present moment.
In the wellness space,
There can be a huge focus on continuing the same pattern that's seen in mainstream society,
The seeking outside of ourselves,
Finding the latest teaching,
The latest guru,
The latest coach,
The latest technique,
The latest plant medicine,
Seeking outside for the answers.
And while seeking support at times and receiving guidance from a trained professional can be beneficial,
Any good therapist or any good coach or any good teacher will remind you it's all within you already.
It's simply just coming back to who you truly are and remembering who you truly are.
Coming back and remembering what lies within at the deepest level.
Maybe this is something you've connected to previously or maybe this is something completely new.
Though at your core the life that animates this body that you have is the real you.
And from there,
It's so much easier to find the insights,
The answers,
And the deeper sense of peace,
Calm and ease.
It starts with the breath,
Coming back to the breath and recognizing the breath as the gateway to the life within you.
And exhale.
Noticing the rise and fall within the body as you breathe,
Returning to the breath,
The life,
The spark of life that connects you to so many other living beings.
What if the answer is actually a lot more simple and easier than you previously thought?
What if simply slowing down and reconnecting to your breath is what is needed right now?
What if it's not about changing yourself but reconnecting to the true essence within?
What if it's not about becoming a new person,
Though recognizing the core essence of life within you?
What if that every time you see nature,
The trees,
The birds,
The plants,
The flowers,
And feel the breeze against your skin,
What if that's all a reminder to come back to life in a world where there's so much destruction that often goes against life,
Destroying the life of the natural world,
Destroying the life of others,
Reconnecting to life in this way for yourself,
Which also ripples out and benefits those around you is one very powerful act of creating change for yourself and on the energetic realm within this world.
Reclaiming life,
Choosing to reconnect to life,
What if that's what it's really about?
Slowing down to recognize the life within you,
Within others,
And within the world around you.
To bring honor to this sacred life.
Life that can be messy,
Painful,
Beautiful,
Hard,
Easy,
And everything in between.
What if this is one of the greatest gifts?
What if everything right here,
Right now,
In this moment,
Reconnecting to the breath,
Reconnecting to the body that you have in this lifetime,
Reconnecting to that.
What if that opens you up in so many beautiful ways and opens up your experience even further,
Even deeper,
Feeling a greater sense of fulfillment,
Connection and ease?
