Are you conscious about what you are doing in every moment? Aware of why you are doing what you’re doing, or feeling?
Once you’ve become aware that there’s more than just physical existence, you can never go back to just existing without awareness. You wouldn’t want to either. But that doesn’t mean that things get easier! As a matter of fact, in proportion, the difficulty levels of your challenges start to increase, because NOW you’re actively involved in changing things!
It therefore makes sense that the more pressure and resistance you feel, the more you know you’re on the right path and doing the right thing! Because, inevitably, the closer you get to achieving something, that’s when it seems impossibly hard and difficult! Yet, just a little bit more…and you’re through! Whew!!!
If you’re still in the early phases of this process and have just discovered there’s more to life, or you’re looking for more, you’re probably like a sponge, soaking up knowledge, reading, searching and talking to lot of people who seem to have more answers than you do. The inherent danger here is to take their word as the absolute and only truth and to get caught up in their thing, and mindlessly trusting that it’s the right thing for you.
Oh, don’t get me wrong! There are Universal Truths, but there are also individual interpretations, and we know the dangers of that – just look at churchy religions, guru’s and sects and you’ll get the idea. No, what I mean is that each of us have our own journey of development, you have your own motives and karma and your life will inevitably unfold differently from anyone else’s.
So how do you know if something is true? Because there’s a lot of information out there, and if something is just slightly off, or not the full truth, there you go, off on the wrong tangent, which 20 years down the line is WAY OFF.
That is why each one of us have a link to our higher self, soul, spirit, the real spiritual light being that animates this physical vessel of your body in this life. An immortal spark of the Universal Consciousness. Once you have become aware of this link, you can start utilising the wisdom and knowledge of this huge being that is connected to everything and knows everything. So everything you do should be to enhance this connection so that you can draw on this vast knowledge and experience base. Then you will KNOW when it feels right, as you slowly but surely will start to trust yourself and your intuition.
This is the reason people do things like yoga, meditation, Tai Chi and Martial Arts, to become calm and centered, aligned and in tune with spirit. It is to find and fix all the imbalances in the physical, mental and emotional bodies and bring it all into balance and harmony. Anything that strengthens the harmony between all the energy bodies and the physical body is beneficial. We actually live in physical body suits, its what this planet’s vibration is all about and we (our spiritual beings) have chosen to experience this, so a part of our vast energy light body inhabits and uses this physical body for the duration of its lifetime and the experience becomes a part of our true being’s experience and growth.
When you start realizing that there are vast universes of “more” out there, and you become more in tune with the real spiritual you, you can sometimes glimpse, remember or even see all of that.
And then you start co-creating your experience and become conscious of every single moment. Every experience becomes precious. THAT is truly living in the moment. When you take responsibility for every single choice in every single moment.
Because that is exactly what you have.
The choice.
Even if you make the “wrong” choice and the experience is horrible, you created that. But you still have the choice of how you deal with the aftermath! Take responsibility. Rather than feeling sorry for yourself, you can change it to an uplifting, positive experience and influence everyone around you for the better…your choice.
You are the center of your universe. Do things for the right motive. Examine your why. Examine the people around you’s why’s. Is it their drama? Or yours? What fear or insecurity is driving your motive? Theirs?
So…
Are you conscious in every moment?
Exercising your choice?
