Connecting to Ourselves Creates Bliss

Our critical judgement (labels) is the only thing that keeps us from emanating our light. When we suppress certain qualities that make us, to fit into our environment, these parts feel like they don't belong.

However, when we make space to allow the most unwanted parts of ourselves to be loved, we embody authenticity.

We can express ourselves not just vocally, but also energetically. All of our parts would like to be expressed in their own ways. Some would like solitude, and other parts would require a friend's presence. Some might require us to listen to our music, others would like to paint it out.

When you sit with your feelings and listen to them, they'll tell you exactly what they need to do to feel better.

A practise:

Locate the unwanted parts in your body. Once you locate this, close your eyes and take a few comfortable breaths. Stretch if needed. Your body needs to feel relaxed and light to move to the next part.

Once you are feeling comfortable in your body, mind and breathing patterns, come back to the unwanted part. Let's focus on one part at a time.

Now for the next part, you can add any slow, mellow music of your choice, or you can continue without it.

Focus all of your attention on the part where the unwanted emotion is located. You can:

1. Breathe comfortably and gradually deepen your breath, making space in the area. This allows the part to be noticed and integrated into your body.
2. And/ or keeping the intention on that part of your body, you can begin moving your body. The source of this movement is the unwanted part. By doing this, you are allowing the unwanted part to be witnessed and express itself energetically.

Slowly, you can begin exaggerating the movements further towards your extremities - branching outwards, moving like the waves.

You can end this practice, in a quiet meditation or prayer and gratitude.

Our bliss is created when we notice, allow, embrace, accept and express our natural parts. It allows our subconscious to believe that we deserve to exist in our wholeness. This is how we bring our light into existence and full expression.
