We are beings of vibrating, oscillating energy and we can operate on both receive and transmit. I note that I sometimes do quite a bit of transmitting. There’s an inner conversation often running in the background relating to things I observe: I like this, I prefer that, this is good, don’t like that and so on.
What happens when I begin to allow myself to be in an open, receptive mode? I take a few conscious deep breaths, feel myself grounded in this body and allow the inner commentary to quiet. I slow down and enter the still waters of just pure awareness. Pure awareness which is free from my personal take on anything; an observer largely aloof and uninterested in drawing conclusions or forming opinions about people, situations or events. And I cease being the proverbial blade of grass blowing whichever way outer conditions are blowing today. I pay things “no mind” — literally. Now, I am one who receives. Resting in receiving, I discover an intelligence and a wisdom that transcends my experience as a locally focused being.
Imagine this profound peace found while resting in pure awareness. Situations that seemed dense and immovable now seem porous and malleable when I discontinue the running commentary about what looks like the facts and outer conditions. To discontinue, to break the continuity, interrupt the transmission of a particular consciousness I hold towards anything is exactly what allows these situations to become more fluid and flexible.
Anything can change in an instant and these things do change as we do.
