Acting from your Essential Self
Living your life as a ceremony inspires unconditional presence in your actions.
This approach to living life in a more intentional way helps you to soften around the blocks that often keep you seeing through the lens of self-imposed and conditioned limitations.
Creating and building an access point to your essential self is the point of your spiritual practice. This is the place you return to when you are caught in the web of limiting perception.
You have to be willing to surrender... If you can't surrender into something greater than the smaller i, you will continue to be victim to the ever-changing tides that are your life.
Your true nature, your essential self is the part of you that is connected with the living web of creation.
It is not informed by the struggles or experiences you have had as your human self.
It is the remembered self, the part of you that knows you are part of the whole.
How does it feel when you are aligned with your essential self?
What does it feel in your body?
What thoughts are aligned with your essential nature?
How do you know when you aren't aligned?
Do you experience symptoms or patterns that are clear enough to let you know it's time to re-align and come home to your essential self?
How do you KNOW that you are responding or acting from your Essential Self VS your conditioned self?
The thoughts you think are the tell.
If your thoughts are aligned with struggle, with separation, isolation - they and them, you vs me then this is the CLUE that you aren't seeing from a place of wisdom. If your body is aching and your spirit feels deficient, this is a sign that you are not aligned with your essential self and it's time to RE-SOURCE.
The question then becomes, how can I align more with my essential self, and then you can ask yourself, does this (insert your question here) support the alignment with my essential self?
