Push, Pull
We have been invited to look at ourselves as energetic beings first, then physical beings. This invitation encourages us to see and experience energy and physicality in different ways, and especially in greater nuanced ways.
This has been explained as asking us to assess if there any tension - in other words, is there any energetic push or pull that we are emitting related to any subject, person, event, etc.
When we look at this, we are frequently able to see in more depth that we have judgments, criticisms, limiting beliefs, and/or habits that are unconsciously active in our lives. Sometimes they are even consciously active, we have just learned to ignore them. Whether conscious or unconscious, observing brings more awareness and with that choice to release these or to continue to participate in the same way and yield the same results in our lives.
This is powerful and life altering. For, even if we continue to repeat the same behaviors, we now have awareness that we did not before and that continues to build and seep through us. We, therefore, find it more challenging to blame and externalize responsibility. And, eventually, we realize that we have the power within us to do something different and change the outcome.
Today’s invitation is to bring a gentle awareness to all aspects of your life - whether you are engaging with others or if you are spending the day alone. Where do you notice energetic tension? Where are you not in a neutral place? Are you anxious? Are you stressed? Are you tired? Are you feeling hesitation or other form of resistance? What is behind this feeling? Allow yourself to be in the space of curiosity and see what surfaces.
Do you feel that others are doing something to you? Do you feel that others are having an effect on your experience? How is your energy entangled with theirs?
These gentle observations coupled with curiosity have the potential to propel us through giant leaps forward if done with honesty, kindness, compassion, allowing and acceptance.
What do you discover about you and your energy?
Are you ready to release the energetic chains that bind you?
‘’Because others cannot vibrate in your experience, they cannot affect the outcome of your experience. They can hold their opinions, but unless their opinion affects your opinion, their opinion matters not at all. A million people could be pushing against you and it would not negatively affect you unless you push back. That million people pushing against you are affecting their millions of vibrations. They are affecting what happens in their experience. They are affecting their point of attraction, but it does not affect you unless you push against them.”
