Only for a moment…
What does it take to be happy? What does it take to feel free and at peace? What does it take to feel fulfilled, alive, and right where you are meant to be? It only takes a moment.
Does it still feel too hard? Yes, there are sad things in life, there are heartaches, back breaks, and earaches, but in those moments of hurt, struggle, fear and pain, a light still shines. Do you know whose light that is? It’s yours! No matter what you are facing, will face, or what path you take in life, there will always be moments that make you want to cry, so let yourself. We are a society that is really good at hiding our emotions, dodging them in booze and dramatic TV because we are afraid to feel. But in and through those moments that bring you to that point, greatness can come bring you back to glory. You have heard those sayings and they are true; only through the pain can you heal. Facing the hard emotions we don’t want too, and embracing them in their totality, they will disappear. Like clouds floating in the sky, they too will float on by.
There are some amazing healing modalities out there that can help you get through these moments when we want to hide under the rug; Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or tapping), Reiki, Jin Shin Jiu Jitsu, Matrix Reprinting, Ho’oponopono…and one simple one that you can do right now…if only for a moment.
Close your eyes, breathe into your heart (we do it each month) and connect to that space. You might not feel it at first, and it might take you a while, but keep going. Maybe even go hug a tree that will bring you back. But breathe into that space, feel at least one thing that you are so grateful for — something that ignites your inner light. Feel it, see it, and let it fill your soul. If only for moment, you will feel that space, that expansion, that inner knowingness that says, “You’ve got this!”
That is your light. That is your inner majesty that is always and forever there no matter what you face. It is an everlasting spark that cannot be destroyed. It is a part of you and has been from the moment you were created. And it loves you unconditionally. There is nothing that could ever make it leave you. It’s your mojo, Chi, your sacred alignment, and to feel more joy, peace, and light in your life, the more you can connect to that beauty within as many times a day you can, life will shift. There will be less worry, less fear, it will still be out there, but no longer will you allow it take over. You will feel stronger and safe, knowing that your light is indistinguishable. You can trust in its guidance to take you where you want to go. So if only for a moment, give yourself some needed self nurturing, get cozy, close your eyes, and reignite that flame within that’s just burning to reach beyond and be what it can. What it came here to do. What would this world be like if we all took this time…it will only take one moment.
