Have you ever found yourself attached to the opinions of others, our relationships, our success or failures, as ways of defining who we are and how worthy we are of love and connection?
We as humans crave connection. It is only natural. When we loose touch with our connection to Spirit/God/Divine/our own Higher Power or however it relates to you - we begin to look outside of ourselves.
My reason for this blog today is that I recently found myself having high expectations of the relationships in my life. We should expect to be treated a certain way, yes, but at one point we have to ask ourselves, Am I seeking something outside of myself that can be found within? And, how can I reconnect to that inner resource?
My go-to is the practice of Yoga, meditation, and breath-work. However, we can connect to our innate wholeness in a myriad of ways. We can do the Yoga, anywhere. All we need is our person and our senses.
Each of us has a unique way that we can become in touch with Joy, true Joy. Not the elated highs, but rather a smooth sense of peace.
Some of you beautiful souls find it in nature, gardening, painting, writing, being with animals, etc etc.
It does not matter what we do, it is how we do it. With our whole Self, connecting to our inner essence. When we do that we live in the vibration of Love. The true language of Love breeds trust. When we are living in this state of being we can release the expectations of what is outside of ourselves to feel whole.
Have you recognized yourselves in these states of being? One of attachment to that outside of ourselves, and One of living in a state of Love or Trust? We can ebb and flow between these states many times even through-out the day. What can you do today that speaks to your heart and helps you re-connect to yourself?
