You are here to experience, and as you wink down, ever present and watching this life’s journey unfold, you are holding it all as if it were packed away like luggage, ready to be unpacked and reviewed with love and care upon your return. There is no shame, animosity, or guilt for what you did or didn’t do; it is all a celebration, as it is all about expansion.

Follow your intuition, embrace the feelings, and allow nothing—neither blocks nor excuses—to keep you from it. It may seem foreign to you at first, but all things are possible if you have not yet practiced your knowing. Start with the smallest steps and trust the process. What you fear is far better than remaining stuck in a rut or barely moving.

Feeling the connection of all, once completely in alignment, is like a surge of power—like the roller coaster online at the amusement park.

The choice lies in viewing it with gratitude: “Thank you for showing me that I am so close to the hive that I can be stung,” or being upset about the sting. However, if you choose to see it from a different perspective, you can recognize that you are close to the honey and that there is another way to gather the fruits of the bees' efforts.

These momentary flashes of insight, whether through lightning strikes or soft impulses, are there to illuminate your path and remind you that you’re not alone. Consider the flash and the visibility it offers, whether momentary or increasing, like the glow of a candle. It’s there for you. Instead of focusing on the darkness surrounding you, look for the clarity and what is illuminated; remember, it’s all fleeting—the darkness and the storms.

Emotion serves as your guidance system, letting you know when you veer off track, even slightly, so that you can correct your course

Introspection and openness to your own personal transformation and expansion, if desired, are available to you, especially if you are curious like a child. Embrace, experience, and find joy in all that life offers without fear of what comes next or what your next step may be. Enjoy your life experience.

Breaking away from the common, larger, and fast-moving streams of consciousness is as simple as a shift in focus, driven from within. Choosing your own path and following your own guidance, rather than flowing with the masses that may be destructive, is freeing.

“Settling into the appreciation frequency and then noticing is the key. The waiting, wanting, or even hoping in some cases is robbing you of the very experience you are seeking. Rather than seek, be a finder. Rather than want, be at peace with what you have.”

Enjoy the trip, enjoy the sun, enjoy the flowers—just enjoy, and you will effortlessly align with all that you desire. You’ve asked; it’s prepared. Now, enjoy yourself into the delivery lane of all that is held for you—without effort, without worry, with only being.

Breath is a purifying agent, clearing as it melds with the visceral components within your body. When focused attention is placed on the direction and intent of your breath, it becomes more purifying and healing than any chemical or modified substance designed to produce similar effects. You are a self-contained and healing machine when you allow it.

Many animals possess self-healing properties when injured, just as you do. Since all beings are energy, everything returns to its natural state unless it is held in opposition or blocked from returning due to thoughts and doubts. Like a man-made dam holding water back from its natural flow, you have the ability to keep healing properties at bay that function like many physicians within your own system.

The intimate nature of your internal workings is simple in its complexity. Each cell has a job and is needed; no part is miscellaneous. Other parts spring into action when called upon, and no one part ever deems its help unnecessary. Your system never says, "Not my job." By setting intentions to work with your modern medicine and not relinquishing all control to outside influences, you greatly enhance your body's ability to correct and modify itself.

Intention and allowing are the keys to releasing the dams that restrict the flow of breath, enabling it to orchestrate the myriad of health benefits available to you. This process helps guide any physically induced agents to their proper positions and in the right amounts, all working for your benefit. Allow flow and function to return; release tension within to facilitate this flow. Trust your body to assist and aid you, using your breath as the ultimate triage and guide for optimum health.
