I am Free!

Sharing a hug with a friend.

Today I realized that I am free..! I am free to be me! I am free of all cares and concerns! How did I come to this..? By the simple realization that I am Spirit, created by a loving Source that always has my best interests at heart. And that I am one with this Source - I cannot be separated from my Source. This Source provides me with everything I need - always. It does not ask for any sacrifice of me - ever. Therefore, I cannot loose by trusting my Source. Its only desire is my happiness and joy.

I was listening to the Hay House Radio (see link in my blog) and Sonia Choquette was on. She said something that I already knew, but this time I really heard it. She said: "Fear takes you to a place that doesn't exist." So, anytime I am preoccupied with fearful thoughts, I am going to a place in my mind that does not exist! My fears are not real. They are imagined!

Let's think about this a little more...  Whatever I think about and imagine in my mind turns into my experience. Why would I want to imagine things that I don't want to experience?! Why not spend my time and energy thinking about things that I enjoy and imagining possibilities that I would love to experience..?

What is real is that I am Spirit, eternally safe in the Everlasting Arms of Love. It is only when I forget this, that I start to fear. When I feel disconnected from my Source, I imagine things that are not real. Yet, I have the same creative power my Source has, because I am one with it. I can create whatever experience I choose with this power. The creative power is my imagination. I am therefore, misusing my power when I make up fearful experiences.

My fearful (painful, joyless) experience may seem very real, because I do experience what I think about and imagine, but what I really have done is make up an illusory existence which I can choose to change anytime I want to. I do have the power. I just need to remember that I am making up my own experience! I can choose happiness and peace just as easily as I can choose misery and pain.

A practical exercise that helps with this is sitting quietly every day for at least five minutes and simply breathing into the heart center in the chest. You can also imagine a beautiful golden light filling your chest and expanding out with each breath you take. Just sit back and enjoy the feeling. If any discomfort surfaces, keep breathing and allow it to pass. It is just trapped energy - fear - that is moving out as you let the light in.

This light is the closest image that we have to show us Who We Really Are. It connects us to our Source, for the Source is light. As the heart center opens, we can feel more and more of the Pure Love of our Source. More energy will flow into our lives and our vibration will rise, so that it becomes easier and easier to choose joy, love and truth - what we truly want - instead of fear.

Sonia also shared a wonderful practical exercise in how to connect with your Inner Wisdom which is your Spirit speaking to you through your heart. She suggested placing a palm of your hand on your heart and saying either: "My Spirit says..." or "My heart says..." and filling in the blank. I tried this, and it worked wonderfully! At first I thought about what I was fearful about, then I let my Spirit speak to me in this way. I connected with the truth and it brought tears to my eyes. It was powerful. I suggest you try it too!

Today I choose to remember that I am one with the Source of love and light. All things are provided for me. I am free of all worry. I am free to love and be loved. I am free to be joyful. I am free to be at peace.

This is my gift to you, dear friend. For by accepting this for myself, I can share it with you. I am also grateful for everyone who has found this wellspring of light within themselves, for I know it has made it easier for me. Each of us adds to the light and love in our world, and together we can create a beautiful life.

Many blessings today and always!

PS. Don't worry if you can't feel all this right this moment - just try closing your eyes for a moment and taking a deep breath into the heart center. Even one breath with the willingness to open to the possibility that things can be different is enough to start you on your way to feeling better. And, try letting your Spirit speak to you as suggested above. You might be surprised at what you hear!
