You know how there is so much focus on ‘letting go’ these days?
Everywhere I’ve turned for the last few years, all I’ve heard is that all I have to do is to let go of the past, let go of the pain, let go of the expectations, let go of the control…… I thought that I’d be fine and everything would sort out if I let go of old beliefs, old wounds, old pain and anything from the past that has been stopping me from being in the present moment.
And in fact I’ve focused on it lots in my sessions with clients. I’ve been inviting and holding space for others to being willing to let go of that which no longer serves us. Which is totally awesome and necessary in so many ways. And I’ve discovered the next huge piece.
I recently had the pleasure and gift of attending a Five Rhythms Dance Workshop where I finally was able to experience in my body the magic of truly Moving the Energy.
I can now feel and know within me that it is necessary and essential to have a continual flow of energy going out and…….. coming in. I have been able to experience how to access and activate an opening within to allow the energy of life and living to come in and move through me, and then to let it go. It is both.
Opening to receive the gift of life in all the ways it is being offered to me is such a rich and fulfilling way to live life. I’m still figuring it out in some ways and yet I can feel the potential.
It is so amazing to me how I have finally been able to bring this knowing in at a brand new and very deep cellular level. It’s not like I didn’t know it in my head and mind. It is that I hadn’t been able to bring it into my heart and body at this depth until now.
The more I am open to receive the more I am open to more fully release and to give to everyone and everything around me.
It is an equal exchange, just like breathing. They must go together. The inhale and the exhale equally balanced.
When I feel stuck now, I have a bigger game to play.
Where am I holding on so tight? Am I able to open to receive the gifts of life all around me? Am I able to release that which no longer serves me?
Are there ways that you can open up more to receive? How would that look for you? Most importantly, how would it feel for you?
