There is a Way Through Every Block - Day 2

Sat Nam,

Today the plan was to upload a video I recorded this afternoon with my small camera. No Go. I tried everything and I mean everything. I am technically savvy and there is no earthly reason why it would not work.

Moments like these I remember I have choice.

I can either fight and resist reality - what is in front of me - becoming more and more frustrated or I can stop and find another way. I have learned that when I fight what is in front of me I start losing my energy. I start becoming stressed and angry and then my ego kicks in. I want to blame someone or something. When this happens, it’s like taking a big dose of stupid pills. As I get more stressed, my connection to a greater intelligence through my intuition become static — like on a radio. I can’t hear or sense my intuition. Then, I am in ‘animal consciousness’ reacting to the moment instead of responding to the moment. Responding is the ability to respond with higher consciousness.

Intuition isn’t this ‘woo woo’ stuff given to a select few. We all have it. It is very practical. Most animals in the wild have claws, teeth, jaws, antlers etc to protect them. Humans don’t have this, but what we do have is our intuition. Our intuition protects us from harm and guides us through time and space through this wonderful journey we call Life. It is always there, but we choose to not trust it, doubt it, or laugh at it.

There are 5 Yogic Sutras* for this Information (Aquarian) Age.
One of the sutras is There is A Way Through every Block.

This is about facing challenges in your life. Every challenge has a way out, a solution, however it doesn’t come from the mind, it is not logical.

It comes bubbling to the surface through your intuition. How do you know the difference between intuition and thoughts from the mind? Intuition is neutral in energy - there is no judgement, no ’shoulds’. Intuition is the creative energy - it is like a small soft voice in you ear. How do you nurture your intuition? Stay relaxed. Keep your body relaxed by breathing long and deep - try it 5 sec inhale (belly goes out) 5 sec hold and 5 sec exhale (pull navel in slightly).

As you face your next challenge, take a moment and remember that there is a way through every block. Breathe long and deep for a few minutes and wait for the answer to come. Start acting on your intuition and trust that you will be guided to the next best step for you !

* A sutra is a ‘knot’ . A sutra is a very complex spiritual concept reduced to one sentence and later expanded upon by a spiritual teacher. This was how sacred teachings were protected from harm (seemed esoteric to conquerers) and brief enough to be remembered by students in ancient times. The most famous is Patanjali’s 196 yogic sutras.

May you have the courage to BE YOU,

following the trail of light

sat nam ( reverent greetings),

My wife and I recently moved to the Interior, BC from Vancouver, BC a week ago. Both city dwellers for the past 25 plus years. We had no jobs to go to, no place to live, and no guarantees. What did we know for certain? We want to live in an environment that nourishes us. City living can feel energy draining with traffic noise, construction, and pollution. All of our earthly belongings are in a storage unit ( 8 * 10 ) in Vernon, BC.

So here we are following the trail of light, realizing that life is a game and we are fully participating. Is this easy ? YES and NO.

It takes a courage to break away from the status quo, it takes discipline to not attach to fear based thought forms that come up. It is a fun & blissful way to live when you realize that all your needs are being taken care of ( *first chakra) and your job is to get out of your own way and BE in the FLOW of LIFE. Meaning - be aware of your ego - your mind and trust in the force of creation that is driving this world.

We are amazing powerful creators of reality and the paradox to tapping into to this power is that we must surrender (insert the word ‘ALLOW’ for you westerners) to a higher power ( you may call it GOD/ Higher Self / Universe / Goddess / Guru / Guides / Angels / Creator - your choice in the word). Our power is when we Zero ourselves- Zero our Ego - Energy fills us up and runs through us - when we operate from this place — anything is possible. I have a zillion stories of my own to back up this universal law.

So we are trusting in the process and continue to follow the trail of light creating our own path stepping away from the well worn path.

* Chakras are energy centers - we have 8 chakras. First chakra is all about basic survival, food and shelter.
