I am realizing more and more that there is an art of being satisfied. Life could always "be better", my body could always be "more toned", my diet can always become "even healthier", my living situation could be "even nicer", my best friends could live "even closer", the weather could be "even warmer", the city could be "even greener", there could be "even more hours in the day", my love relationship could be "even smoother", I could have "even more free time", I could have "even more money" and the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on!
But what about radically accepting what is right now and allowing a complete sense of satisfaction to permeate my body and my mind? What would that feel like?
What would it be like to be completely complete today, all day, all week, all month, all year, every day of my whole life? To feel that internal relaxation with what is? To unfold and enjoy? Being specific about it, for example, with money. Imagine feeling completely happy with everything regarding money in your life now. Now sustain that feeling for a week...
I have really been seeing how the "more is better" myth has permeated much of my life. From growing my business, to seeking out fun events, in evaluating my relationship, in becoming "better" at things, in my eating habits... but what about really mixing it up and really feeling great about how things are in this very instant? Just looking over my blog from yesterday, I can clearly see the assumption that somehow all these events, trainings and experiences will somehow make me more than what I am. What about pausing and reconsidering that I am already everything I hope to get from these? What about feeling satisfied right now?
Being satisfied is an art. It asks for grace, time, and an infusion of spirit. It invites creativity, playful bouts of imagination and a positive attitude. The truth is, we have a choice in every moment wether we want to feel satisfied or not. I am realizing that even though I can have changes on the horizon which I am working towards, there is absolutely no reason not to feel great right now! This balance fascinates me... how to make steady progress towards a new vision, but at the same time generate gratitude and joy around what is.
Satisfaction Prayer
Creator Spirit of the Magnificent Brilliant All-That-Is!
I call upon You to awaken me now.
My view of my life is now Your view of my life!
Intergalactic, full of cosmic potential for quantum unfolding and expansion,
Full of gifts galore and absolute perfection!
Creator's experience of love is my experience of love
A sound boom of acceptance, gratitude, generosity, nurturing
Mind-blowing, all encompassing, radiant and infinite!
Creator's way of seeing is my way of seeing
Interdimensional matrixes enfolding webs of connection,
Everything is divinely perfect and unfolding gracefully!
Source's sense of time is my sense of time
The past, present and future are all connected,
There is only now and now and now!
Creator' sense of plenty is my sense of plenty
Golden light surrounds everything with vast riches and bounty
Radical wealth of body, mind and spirit is here now!
Source's view of my divine life mission is my view
I am a piece of perfect light visiting Earth,
Star BeautyLight Bringer beaming joy joy joy!
I am everything I want to be now.
I am all my future potential now.
I am living the life I imagine now.
I am my future self now.
I am loving the now, now.
I am love.
I AM THAT, I AM.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Thanks Christabel,
I just had a conversation with two magical women about my remembering of this beauty, of surrendering rather than struggling to make things happen. Reverend Michael Beckwith at Agape last Sunday also touched on the subject stating about how we can use our dual power of Visioning and Gratitude simultaneously, to stay present enough to experience the Life of God (the Love intelligence that governs the Universe) through and as our very lives.
It is a fine balance. On one extreme is planning your every future experience in the present, therefore not ever being present - which can easily create attachment to the pictures in our mind, missing the opportunities of the present. On the other hand, only being present and not visioning can create aimlessness, which after a while can lead to depression - or a disconnection with the trueness within. Visioning calls for the space to be available to listen to your deeper voice. All the time we're giving and receiving words, thoughts and ideas. Visioning is the inner silence that connects one to insights or intuitions about one's "future" or what is to come for us. Of course, the mind, attempting to do it's "job", translates these vibrations into pictures. But these pictures are merely physical ideas of the energies around the corner for you. This is when we're presented with the choice to attach ourselves to those images, or simply recognize the energy behind what the mind is showing you. Way to go Christabel! This seems like a tough one for everyone. For me in addition to what I've shared, it's about gratitude and excitement about what is and what is to come, knowing that if the specific images in my mind don't come true ever, at the very least I know the quality of my existence can only multiply according to my perception of life itself as it is revealing itself in me and outside of me. The thing that I have to rely on, if not the only source of real security for me, is the rich quality of life which is given by my powers of perception. What is my perception: I see God in everything and in everyone embraced in the Eternal celebration of the Oneness. God, meaning, Infinite Love & Wisdom, which sources all that is. Meaning, that One Presence, that One substance, that One Source from which every single living thing draws it's breath from. Holy moly, I'm on a tangent.....I suppose this all somehow relates to your original post. I love it when I have the opportunity to witness your expansion, because it then propels me to witness myself a little closer and that brings me to insights about who and what I am. |
