Everything is Everything

Years ago, at the beginning of what I might now call my healing journey, I thought “Breath is Everything.” I thought that because the use of Breath did in fact change my life. As I became conscious of my breath and went on an inward physical journey it felt like “coming home.” The sense of connection I felt as I released muscle, opened joints, freed trapped energy and generally felt present to myself was at times overwhelming. It was beautiful and it began to create a sense of some inner peace, much more so than psychotherapy had alone. Although that piece increased my awareness of how my history was informing my present moment. Psychotherapy also helped empower me as my ideas and feelings were validated.

As these three pieces blended, breath, body and increased psychological awareness, it became painfully obvious how much unresolved emotion still resided within me. Slowly emoting, I felt like I began to ‘catch up on my life,’ releasing the past, forgiving, and putting closure on old wounds. Again, my sense of freedom deepened.

At the time, I don’t think I was aware of my intention to heal. In my mind I think it was framed in a way that stated “I know I can be happy” (happiness meaning peaceful and content with a sense of joy about my daily life). The feeling and desire for that were all present within me along with the belief that it was my birthright to attain. However, at that time it still felt like it was just out of arms reach. It wasn’t until breath, body, self-awareness, and emotion had come together and healed some of my past that I became aware of my self-sabotaging mind and the need to change my story through positive self affirmation and intention setting. My mind often went to fear and the what if scenario. Basically, I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop and create those scenarios in my mind.

Once I challenged myself to create new stories my life really changed and not only was my internal world more peaceful, but I began to attract what I desired in the external world. As I told myself new stories, inner conflicts ended because my mind was aligning with my soul, interestingly, my body also shifted into physical alignment, and I created a new reality. I manifested jobs that I desired along the way, the kinds of deep spiritual connections and friendships that I wanted as well as a loving intimate relationship with good communication and commitment. The list could go on and on.

Soon, I realized that to climb the ascension ladder I needed to work my life from all angles, and integrate body, breath, emotion, and a positive mind into my souls’ desire. It couldn’t just be one thing or the other and when integration happened, Oneness happened. I felt an intimate connection, not only to myself, but the world around me. Compassion and Empathy blossomed in me as well. I saw the everything in everything. I began to live the “I Am That” before hearing those now popular words. Today, I see how we have the freedom (free will) to create or mis-create our lives. It is a gift. Our nature, to be creative, is our never-ending journey, we will always have the chance to change and create anew when we want to. It is our choice how we want to learn and if we want to learn here in the earthschool. It is our choice to create with responsibility or not, but in taking responsibility, we afford ourselves the best possible outcome.

Currently, my Grand Intention is simple, “Create Love” and in the details of daily life that expression shows up everywhere and is received back at least ten-fold. I’d say I couldn’t be happier or more at peace, but why limit myself? Why not choose to create more of the same. Love, Peace, and Happiness for all (if you so choose).
