Conscious Choices & Baby Steps: The Journey to Empowerment

Happy Day my friends!!!

It is indeed a happy day because we are alive, which means we have one more day to exercise our power of choice. As you go about your day reading or listening to this post, what decision are you committed to today?

Will you breathe more consciously? For this, you might set a watch alarm for each hour to remind you “Ah, it is the time to breathe-in consciously and be grateful for this very moment.”

Will you commit to move more? “I will take 5 minutes each hour to walk around so my blood can circulate and my body gets activated.”

Will you be mindful of what you eat? “Hmm, I think I will bring healthy snacks to work and put them in a visible place on my desk as a reminder.”

Will you be attentive to others? “I will commit to listening to my spouse or co-worker twice as much as I talk”

Will you be more compassionate with yourself? “I will remind myself that I am learning, that I need to have patience; it's okay to make mistakes.”

In my case, I am committed to following the stream of love, which requires allowing, trusting and embracing all.

If something has been presented to us, there is definitely a reason. Resistance, the little or lack of reflection about the circumstance, the avoidance of feelings instead of looking at them and letting them flow through us and washing away, is exactly what creates the angst, the anxiety, the sadness, the idea that there is no point in all this, the journey, this existence. What for? Why did we come here in the first place? So much pain, so much sacrifice, for what? To die?

Let’s just take a moment right here… let’s just breathe in… In, profoundly…and out… letting go of all the heaviness… Let it just move away… away from us… away from our system… and yes, let us breathe one more time… only this time you might feel more spacious… Oh yes, breathe in… all the way in… and now out… feeling lighter…Mmm… so much lighter. And with this conscious breath, the clouds start to dissipate.

It is in this space that we can start to see clearly. It is in this stillness and quietness, that I can detach, that I can zoom out and notice that I am much more than my circumstances, that I am much more than my feelings… Like Sadhguru would say: “I am not the body, I am not even the mind.” And it is, that as you practice detachment you start to understand that you are pure consciousness. Yes, you are in a body. Yes, you are having this Earthly experience. Yes, there are those energies (feelings and emotions) flowing through the body. But you are neither of those, you are the awareness of them, you are the observer. And it is there, dear friends, that the journey starts to make sense.

We are just witnessing what the body is feeling, what the body is experiencing through the interaction with other people, through the action that has been taken unconsciously up to now. How come I didn’t know I have a say in what this body could experience? As I take conscious breaths, and I calm myself, as I detach and zoom out… I can observe and be aware of everything. As I zoom out, I get to understand I don’t want to let my subconscious programming run the show. As I am hovering above the circumstances, the drama, I realize I have the power to choose. I have the power to choose to react or not. I have the power to choose if to act the same way. I have the power to choose not to be the victim of the circumstances but to be the one who has the power to create a change. Change is the catalyst.

Doing the same thing over and over again will create the same result over and over again. Do you want a different outcome? Then, you have to act differently. “Oh my… How? How do I start?” you might ask. The answer is little steps, my friend. As my husband would say “Baby steps, my love, baby steps”… And that’s how we start the journey to empowerment: with little steps. Like babies, we will fall… Have you seen them? They fall and they are back up again… and they continue practicing, very determined these little ones… and voila… one day they are running like gazelles…

Here is the good news: We all have this power… Each one of us without exception. Is it difficult? Not really… But it takes lots of practice… It takes having self-compassion and patience. It requires commitment and consistency. The consistency of retaking over and over again what you committed to. Until one day the programming is done… and you don’t have to think about it. It is automatic… Your body will do it for you, or will remind you… You will learn what this body is about… It is the perfect gift to walk in this density… and the tool to materialize your creation in the physical plane. As a spirit, energy, I can’t write or type, but this body allows me just to do that. This body allows me to express and share my love to everyone of my siblings. Sharing this love is my way of creating and extending the good, the holy and the beautiful. This is my POWER.
