It's So Easy To Forget

It's so easy to forget. It's so easy to fall back into unconscious living. You're on a high of universal bliss and then wammo the ego steps in due to a distraction or chaos with day-to-day living.
We need to remember even especially during mundane or busy times that we are always and can always be in a constant state of peace and centeredness even then!

Breathe in the Peace and stillness within you. Drink it in. Stillness is with you always. For, it IS you. Bliss, Peace, Love, Stillness, Consciousness; whatever you call it, it is all the same. And it is your essence. Breathe and feel the peace underneath all the chatter, thought forms and ego perceptions.

You can never be lost as you are always found. The more you shed the unnecessary portions of your ego the more awake and aware you become of your true essence; your stillness; your presence in every living moment. Every moment is ALIVE. And you become aware of it as you recognize those thoughts as not good, not bad, but just bubbles of energy that you no longer need to attach to.

As long as there is attachment to the thought, it will exist. Release the attachment and pure freedom is yours. When you have that thought of a co-worker conspiring against you or a wrong-doing by your boss or anyone, release that thought. Release the attachment to the thought that it is real. Whether that is true or not matters not. When it is released you suddenly feel a peace and bliss you never thought possible. Magic occurs in this moment. The peace you feel is "proof in the pudding" with regards to your thoughts and emotions (emotions that attach to those thoughts thereby creating more experiences that create those thoughts and emotions to continue to stay in existence) really only being an illusion and only in existence if you believe it.

While in stillness you will sometimes receive intuitive guidance that will assist you. You know and feel it is true because it is something that comes from within, out of that stillness. And then you listen to the guidance given (whether that is to take divinely inspired action or not take action on something). So then move in that present moment whatever it calls for. If it calls for nothing, then be in that peace. The more you stay in touch with this inner knowing the easier it is to remain present and fully conscious.

Flower in your own time. We are all flowering in our own space and time. Some are at a slow pace and others faster. We each have a set pace that works for us. Some will flower immediately and most will go gradually. And for the gradual folks, blissful stillness starts to show up in spurts and sputters gaining in momentum. It seems to disappear at times. And that is our unconsciousness coming back in. Just check in as often as you can and remain present. Be with the present moment always. Breathe and remember.

If a thought comes in and you notice suffering (Resistance & Attachment = Suffering), just come to the remembrance of your true essence and release the thought to the ethers. Do not resist the uncomfortable emotions or thoughts, but rather let them pass on by. Allow them to exist rather than burying them deep down. These will only boil over for an explosion later. By allowing them to exist they dissipate much faster. Kim Eng notes that you can release an emotion in 20 seconds if you remain present with it. 20 seconds! That's amazing. Not minutes, or hours, or days or weeks or years! 20 seconds if you allow it to be what it is. It's made manifest so it must run its course. It doesn't have to build upon itself by repressing it or dwelling on it in a wallowing state. If can be allowed and most important ACCEPTED as it is and it will disappear.

As Kim Eng shared during the seminar I attended, become the bamboo. Inside a piece of bamboo it is hollow. This is a wonderful goal to strive for within the self. Allow thoughts and emotions to flow in and flow back out. It need not stick for long. Simply follow divine guidance that comes in and allow the thoughts and emotions to flow on through.

If you are in an enjoyable moment, enjoy it but have *no* attachment to it so that it can be what it is to be and you do not suffer if or rather when the enjoyable moment passes.
Remaining in stillness you will always have a peace with you no matter what "good" or "bad" moment is happening in the present.

So become conscious. Really check in with yourself in every moment. Bring more of you out and more of your higher self through you to the world by being conscious. Pay attention to your environment, your feelings, your thoughts, your reactions, synchronicities that happen in your life, to nature, your loved ones, and strangers. Pay attention. Connect with the Self and the world. Staying conscious allows your light to consistently shine. It also feels so much better! When you go through emotions they can transpire in the present moment and dissipate much faster! Allow what is to exist and transform all you see into light simply by recognizing the light within all you see! :)

Here is an awesome exercises in consciousness from Matt Kahn of True Divine Nature: "Close your eyes and ask: Is there a who that is here or is here what's here?" Pause to feel the knowing. Here is what's here. "If there is no specific who that exists out of a temporary image, how do you know that the thoughts in your mind are yours? For example if you are thinking, 'I am ____/blank'. It's just a thought that suggests that there is an I seeing or feeling this way. How do you know that that thought that you are hearing pertains to you if there is no "who" that is here? Everything is consciousness, there's a thought and consciousness is believing it. "Who" is the consciousness of thought believing in itself." This exercise is found in the video section of Matt's website dated 8/19/09. When I do this exercise I become so aware of the true awareness that is within. I am that and it has always been and always will be.

I've received a question this month that has turned into Part 2 of this article, so I must send you on down this web page to read the "Dear Maggie" column for more on remain present, conscious and staying in your peace and bliss. :)
