Sense Relaxation

We can and probably have already trained ourselves to sense what suits us, and have neglected the very same energies’ guidances that seem unimportant. Can we change our intentions to suit us, or are we actually experiencing intentions’ choices to show up on our behalf? Take this moment to sense relaxation.

Because energy abounds around me, it appears I need to relax more than anything else. As I listened repeatedly to a recent lecture about the invisible and enthusiastic preoccupation the physical heart has with the brain, I spontaneously began intentionally tuning in to my heart only to notice it—that’s all—just to notice it.

Then, as if in automatic mode, I began experiencing nudges to focus on my heart, and I didn’t ask any questions which I am apt to do; instead, I continued puttering around the office and in the kitchen.

Every time I sense my physical heart, an instant, relaxing rise in my chest occurs; my back straightens, and the relaxation is felt around my back. How cool, really! The message couldn’t be plainer: Relax, and feel free to take a deep breath. I believe those experiences are reminders of our protective, vibrating cocoons’ hovering nudges around and inside our physical bodies.

Here are some questions meant to stimulate your curiosity.

  • Other than exercise or taking time to get quiet within yourself, what ways do you instantly relax your body?
  • What has been your sensory experience while juggling loath with compassion?
  • Would you sense your physical heart for 15 minutes a day while participating in your business; while driving around doing errands, conversing with family and friends; listening to news casts, reading, shopping; or while doing stuff you would rather not do?

Okay, I’ve just appointed myself to an awareness training program of focusing on my physical heart, to sense relaxation as frequently and as long as possible during my daily work and conversations.

Our constant curiosity is key
to watching what’s being created.
