May 29th, 2010: The Art of Allowing
You wouldn’t think that feeling good was something that you actually had to allow. Like “allowing” tons of money or “allowing” a beautiful life partner, or “allowing” the child you have longed for. The Art of Allowing would imply that it’s kind of tricky to allow good stuff when that just doesn’t seem logical but it is.
So, what is the opposite of allowing. That would be resistence. Because we live in an attraction based universe we receive what we are vibrating. If we are worried about money we are not allowing it but are vibrating “no money, no money, no money, no money.” And this is a resistent vibration. It’s not in harmony with allowing money to flow.
Remember the saying that the energy of the problem is different from the energy of the solution. Same thing. You can’t be talking about the problem and receive the solution. They are on different wave lengths. There is a common story about “allowing” yourself to be come pregnant. I became pregnant at 37 and because it was a later pregnancy I was somewhat concerned. Months came and went. No baby. So I decided I didn’t have to have a baby and thought of all of the benefits of not having a baby and presto I’m pregnant.
So, you can kind of get the idea of the Art of Allowing. We are so driven by negative beliefs about how stingy the world is and how hard it is and how limited resources are it just is a challenge to re program to the idea of abundance.
Right now I’m definitely into the abundance of feeling good. There is also no limit to how good one can feel there is always room for greater expansion. We are expanding beings. There is never a time when we will stop expanding. That is the nature of life, expansion. So, I’m trying to allow. And even in saying that I’m exhibiting resistent energy. One does not try to allow. In the trying there is the “pushing against” aspect that is resisting the allowing.
So, what do I do? I allow the allowing. I was just walking the dog. My life has improved dramatically over the past two months and the past week the tremendously good feelings are just a bit elusive. In my previous life I would have accepted this as “normal” but I’m getting greedy. I want to feel better more of the time and know this is possible. So as I’m walking my bff Dudie dog I’m allowing the allowing. I’m breathing and with each breath I’m relaxing fully internally and letting myself see and experience the good feelings waiting for me. It’s a visceral thing but I can feel the good feelings when I just relax into the allowing. Relaxing into the allowing is a very good description of the process and as I do that I can feel my energy begin to rise.
But this is a practice. A practice of relaxing into the allowing and a practice of allowing the good feelings to emerge. It’s safe out here guys. You can come out now. No one’s going to yell at you or shame you or slap you or say you’re crazy. You can come out now. It’s okay.
It’s true we are afraid of feeling good, afraid of the good feelings and all of us have our own story about that. It’s the same story as being afraid to be fully who we are, to be fully seen even by ourselves.
Memorial Day weekend is the perfect time to relax into allowing. Allow the allowing.
Brave expansion someone in my Abrahamster Group called it last night. Brave expansion.
Breathe on, With Love, Connie
