Releasing into Life

November 7, 2006
We tend to think of breathing harder to get more oxygen. We try to bring in more energy, suck in more life force. We try to get healthy. We try to attract more wealth. We try to find love and happiness. We use all these active terms, breathe, try, bring in, suck in, get, attract, find, etc. This thinking of working hard to bring in the good is based on fear.
The truth is there is endless amount of oxygen for all. The universe is filled with energy. There is enough material goods for everyone on earth. And joy and love is in every moment everywhere.
When we relax, release the tightness, oxygen naturally flows in. When we release our body, let go holding patterns, energy floods into our being. When we release blockages in our body and being, health and wellbeing is ours naturally. When we relax, smile and trust, all goodness come into our lives, and life becomes easy. When we relax and let our heart open, we discover love is all around us. When we surrender to the moment, we feel joy and peace.
This is the natural way. Being with the flow of nature is effortless. This is our place in the universe. It is eternal, limitless. This is true freedom. This is the essence of life. This is we.
We do not need to try hard. Tap into the effortless flow of nature. Our original soul is connected to the infinite. It is part of the limitless light and power. It always has been and always will be. All we need to do is to release our holding patterns, our tightness, closedness, blockages. Each tightness residing in our body is part of our mind-heart soul, our ego. It takes energy to hold each pattern. When we exhale and release the tightness, light rushes in, life force floods in, energy and power pours in.
It takes a lot of life force to hold all the patterns and controls in place. This is when we feel tired, depleted, uncreative, tied up. It feeds into the tightening spiraling of fear. Each time we release a tightness, a holding pattern, we feel more spacious, more free and more energized.

The key to releasing is our body. Our body is the perfect tool for developing our awareness, deepening our awareness to the state of awakening. The release does not happen from thinking, from our mind. Our mind’s job and training is to be in charge, hold structures and patterns for control. It is very difficult to work with the busy mind without feeding back into it. What we can do is to smile at the mind and relax it. This releases our awareness into our body, into our whole being. This is a reason why we have a physical body in this physical world. When our body communicates pain and discomfort, we can follow that signal for releasing. Then our body would naturally flow into the healing path.

Surrender our ego control. Let our body come back onto the natural way. Water does not struggle. It just is. Trees do not fight. It follows nature. The planets and stars do not try hard. They just are. When we release, we are on the effortless path, the natural path. When we let go, we are bio composting our waste energy, and completing the natural cycle. When we surrender, we are with our original soul. We are light. We are eternal.
