Have you ever noticed that you can read the same message (maybe by different authors, but the same none the less), or hear the same message (and in my case in would be because I listened to the same authors I read) a million times- but some messages take a lot longer than others to sink in? This was sort of my brick upside the head, A ha moment I had over the last couple of days about the simple Art of Allowing.
I’ve been reading about the Law of Attraction, The Art of Allowing (not just the books by Esther & Jerry Hicks, although they’re great and I highly recommend them), manifesting, etc. for a while now. What I finally realized yesterday though is what many of these teachers/authors have been saying all along. And that is that you can’t always be doing something to get to where you’re going. Sometimes you have to relax, do the laundry, lay in the pool or go for a walk- whatever it may be- in order to allow the universe to get in alignment with you. Just like a seed needs water and sunlight to grow (sometimes it just sits in the sunlight), we too need some time away from what it is we’re working towards in order to get to where we’re going (this really was a big one for me!).
What really made me realize this was also something I’ve heard over and over again, but finally started paying attention to- and that was the way I was feeling. I started to feel a little off track so to speak. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but just sort of acknowledged the way I was feeling and relaxed about it- accepting that it’s just part of the process. The more relaxed I felt, the more quickly the answer came. When I’m SO focused on what I’m doing, I still need to take time away to rest. And when I start getting caught up in day to day tasks (which take me away from the work that I love) I need to stop, re-prioritize what I’m doing and focus on what would make me feel better- which at that moment is my work (which never really feels like work). Now I just need to remember to put this all into practice. Regardless of whether or not I master this any time soon- the awareness has made all the difference in the world.
