At times it may be a little difficult for us to find inspiration.
This usually happens when we feel as though we have lost our connection with what inspires us.
There are many reasons why we may lose connection with our inspiration.
Our lives may have become too busy or something big and overwhelming may have happened to us.
We may have started to doubt our own connection to inspiration because we have been comparing ourselves to others.
I would like to reassure you that it is always possible to find your way back to inspiration and I would like to suggest a way to take the first steps back towards connecting with what inspires you.
The word inspire comes from the Latin inspirare which means to breathe upon or blow into.
I believe that we can use our breath to reconnect with our divine self.
Our breath as a vital sign is one of the signifiers that we are alive.
I find it so beautiful that this involuntary action also connects us with the world around us.
We literally take our environment into our bodies through the air we breathe and we contribute our exhalation back into the environment.
Each of us is a unique and magical part of the universe.
What if finding inspiration could be as easy as breathing?
What if your contribution to the world is the way in which the divine expresses itself through you?
What would happen if you started thinking of everything you say and do and all that you are as an expression of the divine?
Let's take a few deep breaths together to center ourselves in this moment.
Take a deep breath in,
Hold it for a moment and slowly release your breath with an audible sigh.
Another deep breath in,
Hold for a moment and release your breath with a sigh.
Take a last slow breath in,
Hold it for a moment and sigh your breath out.
Now calmly return to breathing at your own pace.
Spend a few moments paying close attention to the qualities of your own unique breath.
Feel your chest and belly move as you breathe.
Next I would like you to gently shift your attention to your heart space.
If you like,
You can place your hand over your heart to direct your focus.
Spend a few moments connecting with your heart.
Notice what you feel.
See if any tender yearnings bubble up for you.
Or perhaps you just want to connect with what you love most.
When you connect with what your heart desires,
You allow the divine to move through you.
You are being asked to play and create and express yourself in whichever way your heart yearns for.
How would you like to answer this divine call?
How would you like to answer this divine call?
Connecting with your breath and your heart will help you to stay connected with your true inspiration.
Inspiration that comes from inside of you and is not dependent on your circumstances to be ideal.
It is possible to be inspired by anything in any moment.
Inspiration is the call for you to do what is yours to do in the world.
You are always being guided and supported.
The divine is asking to be expressed through your life.
Connecting with your heart helps you to connect with what inspires you.
Staying connected with what you love will pull you towards your next inspired action.
Love is the source of all inspiration.
Allow love to guide you to yours.
