I find there is NO LIMIT to how much we can each grow as a whole person (mentally-emotionally-physically-spiritually). The only limits we have are what we accept for ourselves. Now this may sound vague but think of all we can’t accept because our minds can’t understand it or we haven’t experienced it before. A lot can be said for imagination … even if it’s as simple as a relative who’s always been unkind, even hurtful to us and later in life they show us kindness in ways we didn’t expect. It can even be difficult to accept kindness sometimes.
An example I’ve been given is a simple one. Trees are tall beautiful creatures. The very old ones seem to go up and up forever: trunks lead to branches and off the branches leaves sway graciously with the breeze. These parts are all connected although the branches and leaves can’t see the ground, but it is there and the trunk supports the tree’s growth. Yes, we are all supported and don’t always realize it and all it takes is a little imagination to realize it.
Perhaps we need to learn to expand our idea of what’s possible. It may only be difficult when we realize there is no limit to expansion and no limit to growth. We all need to grow in different ways. Recently I’ve felt as if I’m going through the motions. I’ve made many positive changes in my life: pursuing my Reiki practice full-time and helping to grow my husband’s video production business. So why did I feel like I was going through the motions in an almost mechanical way? I was very busy after all =).
The answer feels complicated but essentially I needed to allow myself to FEEL my emotions. According to Rosalyn L. Bruyere (Wheels of Light), we process information (ideas, concepts, experiences) in a very physical way aided in a large part by our chakra system: starting with the root chakra (at the base of the spine) and all the way up through the crown chakra (at the top of our head). What this means to me and to my experience is that I wasn’t fully embracing the emotional part of what I was accomplishing. It’s an interesting approach to listen to and release what your heart wants to feel!
I want to embrace what’s in my heart and act upon this. I want to be emotion-filled in my actions: feel and act compassionate and feel and act non-judgmental.
I want to use the light I’ve been given to explore how this feels for awhile … and see where it leads me …
