sometimes things come up in life, when you’re unsure about where things will be down the line or how it will affect things that’ve happened in the past, and those are the things that push us to completely embrace the moment of Now, and in doing so, gain the trust and strength to live in this place continually.

 There’ve been times when I’ve noticed myself in my head. And when I say ‘in my head’ I mean that I’m not living from my heart and my feelings, I’m over thinking and clouding the beauty of a moment to “anal-yze” whats going on, what it could lead to, what it may affect, etc. And it is more then clear that in those moments of being in my head, the experience is far from as intense and strong as it would otherwise be.

I’ve learned and experienced that the best way to experience life fully is to experience each individual event and moment fully without our own interference. Thats what happens when we are in our heads…we’re  running down this path (lead by our heart) having a great time when Bam! We step out and stop ourselves in our tracks. “What are you doing? Why are you doing this? Oh shoot, what if I should have chosen that other path, what if this is the wrong way, what if I wont succeed?” You know what I’m talking about, right? That inner dialogue we sometimes run over and over again…testing our belief in the current cirumstance.

So what we need to do, is to refrain from interfering and simply let our hearts continue running forward down that path, continue to allow our hearts to lead the way.

A couple of things this past week have truely opened my eyes and my heart to the incredible experience of allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, in emotion and in time. I allowed myself to let down the walls that acted like barriers between myself and this whole new feeling, this whole new unknown.

I had previously put up these walls because of guilt, judgement, feeling undeserving, and for the simple fact that I myself, could not explain what was going on!

There was a moment a few days ago, that for whatever reason, I released myself from the chains that held me back from what was beautiful, and I was there, allowing myself to become completely enveloped in my feelings and in the moment, closing my mind and freeing my heart and soul.

When you allow yourself to this vulnerability, yes, you open yourself up to being hurt, to pain, to failure, to dissapointment, to loss….but what you need to remember is that you also open yourself with arms wide open to Love, Gratitude, Excitement, Fulfillment, Surprise, Peace, and on and on and on.

You wont be reaching these empowering feelings at a mediocre level, but at a level that will move you…a level that soars above what your old protected self ever felt.

I now have so much of a positive and empowering reference to these experiences in the past week that I will from this point forward let go and remember to smile, to love, to laugh, to have fun, to be so incredibly grateful for right Now.

Yes, right now…be grateful for this moment, take a minute to write down everything that you are grateful for today. Something that made you smile, something you didnt even pay attention to until Now, when you started to live through your heart, when you took down your barriers and filters..what do you see now? what do you feel now? How much more grateful are you for the rain? For that neighbor of yours? For the car that let you merge into traffic? For that really good cup of coffee this morning?

Now, how does That feel? Take this moment to write those things down, or atleast to bring those things to your awareness. Let them sink in and resonate that vibrance of spirit and aliveness.

Make it a habit to everyday, at the end of your day, in the middle of the day when you feel overwhelmed, just to change your focus to the things you are grateful for.

And back to what this post is about…dont be afraid of what you cant predict, accept and embrace what Is…and know that what will happen, will be just as its meant to Be…so don’t get in the way of yourself, there is too much to be lived and experienced to hold ourselves back.

Be Well, Be Free, Be Grateful, Be Love..Always
