Being you, feeling alive

What can I be today to express more of who I truly am?

When you walk the road that is your life, there is no certainty. Nobody can tell you how to live, what to do, how it will feel if you go one way or another. Sometimes this path seems unclear or ends up being completely different from what you initially thought. However, it is all based on choice. And as we make choices, as we start walking, the path appears. At times, we are aware we are following our own drive, other times our programming and it all seems to be coming from a place of the unknown. We strive to control the process, but are we not in this attempt actually closing off to experiences life has on offer? Part of this unknown is that what is available for our lives changes as we make these choices. And that life is constant change. But how much are we aware of what is opening up for us every day? And how much are we seeing the haziness and bumps on this road as undesirable instead of as part of the magic of life?

We sometimes forget on our path that we are supported and that guidance is available, even if the answers we receive are not always quick, straightforward and how we would wish them to be.

Sometimes travelling in nature can be revealing of how disconnected we have been from certain aspects of our lives. Nature not only clears and recharges our bodies and souls, but is at the same time a great teacher of the essential. In its stillness and greatness, it shows us that, every moment, life is pulsating through every single molecule. It shows us what it is to be alive. Have we forgotten in the rush of getting a handle of what we are living to actually feel alive? Have we forgotten that we are not beings that are lived by events, work, needs to do and that we can always reconnect to the source of aliveness which comes from simply being who we are? Maybe merely allowing ourselves to be and breathing that in fully, being aware of our own beauty, of the magic of each of our paths and existences could be one key to more intense being.

Breathe. Go deep. Receive.
