We are well-schooled in the awareness of what it is that we do not want. We know how to reject and deflect because of this knowledge. Sadly though, too seldom, we simply continue on the same course of irritation. We forget the next step. We are being asked to choose and then take a step in that new direction - even if it is the unknown. Pause now and reset.

We're going to drop in into the beautiful space we come,

All right my lovely friend.

So as we come into this gentle space,

We take deep breaths in.

And as you breathe out,

Just drop,

Drop,

Drop into this moment.

And thank your beautiful body for holding you here and for giving you this life journey in this beautiful body that can help you to feel and sense and know and understand this body that can experience and understand and perceive.

It's just a wonderful gift to have a body that can help us to be integrating in this life with each other.

So for a little moment now,

Honor your body,

Honor your being,

Being here.

And imagine that you are giving yourself a gracious gift right now,

The gift of being here and present and in your body and in your awareness of who you are beyond your body.

We think about that part of us that is pure light,

The part of us that knows,

And the part of us that is calling us to remember who we are.

And we think about the heart,

How much we yearn for this or that,

And how much when we feel all the discordant,

Difficult,

Challenging energies that we just don't like them.

And then we think that this heart of ours is telling us,

I don't believe in that,

I don't like that,

I don't embrace that.

And that information is so vital to us that we understand what it is that we do not want,

What it is that we will not want to choose.

And so often we just stop there.

We stop in the idea,

I don't want this,

And we're angry with a person because we don't like it,

Or we're fed up in the situation because we don't love it.

But we must take one more step when we find ourselves coming against contrast,

When something reveals itself to us and our whole being says no to it.

The next step after our sense of rejection must be to take a step towards something.

If we take a step away from this that is happening to us,

Then the next step must be towards what we do want.

So just imagine this now as the possibility of changing our life paths.

And we have many of these turning points on every single pathway.

We travel along and we have a sense of I don't like this,

I don't want this,

I don't embrace it.

But we keep pushing on the same pathway,

Becoming more and more aggravated,

More and more angry.

But imagine that every time we felt the sense of resistance or anger that we didn't just push on in it,

That we stopped and we asked our being,

What do you want?

What do you seek?

What do you know?

What are you calling me to do now?

And because we can see what we don't want,

Our heart opens up when we ask the question,

What do you want?

And heart begins to open and we can start to look at what it is that we do want,

What we wish to feel,

Sense,

Encounter,

Experience,

Understand.

Ask your being to be in that place now.

It's that place of realization that doing the same will not serve us any more.

And that we can shift our awareness and in that moment of shift,

We shift our reality as well.

We begin to create something else.

And we feel the energy of that right here,

Right now,

As you relax your body,

Come into a gentle,

Quiet space within you.

Smooth the skin on your beautiful face.

Let your eyes drop deeply into their sockets and let your breath come in and through you and out,

Just as it will.

And think of your heart beating and all the functionings of your organs.

And there is nothing for you to do,

Absolutely nothing right now for you to do.

No pursuing,

No doing,

No effort.

Just allowing yourself to rest here.

Let your body feel a little heavier,

Comfortable.

Know that in the space you are deeply honored,

Deeply respected.

Allow yourself to be here as if you have fallen back into the wings of angels.

Feel that loving embrace enveloping you,

Arms around you.

And let your entire being feel safe,

Loved,

Held and supported,

Nurtured and adored.

I am the very breath of the divine.

Rest into this and allow yourself to remember,

Beautiful you.

So much love here.

As you rest,

We ask that part of us that is divine wisdom and guidance,

Our angels and the sacred beings of light and love to come into the space and be close to us now,

To hold us so gently.

Just rest,

Trust you,

Trust your guides and the divine presence.

And give yourself permission to receive this beautiful energy of light and love.

Imagine that as it is flowing towards you,

That your whole body receives it,

That the light and the energy dances into every cell of your body,

Into bones,

Marrow,

Nerve tissue and fiber,

And your whole being begins to relax deeply here.

Nothing to do but to heal and realign and reconnect to the divine.
