Once you have expanded your awareness by journaling negative thoughts, emotions and body sensations, ask yourself one vital question: “What is the worst thing that could happen?” Ponder potentials in the moment and you’ll likely discover the death of your fear and come to realize they are all negative projections from conditioned self in early years. Often what happens for most people is realization that end of life is not going to happen and no great catastrophe will unfold.
Take another deep breath and open mind to be like the vast open sky. Observe the flow of emotions within and body sensations. Anytime you feel anxious, sad, lonely or afraid, journal your experience in the moment to expand your awareness. Anytime you feel fatigued, stressed or distracted by externals, journal those experiences as well. Increasing awareness with an open heart is the threshold for evolution of true nature.
Breathe deeply and relax your mind to be like the vast open sky. Observe negative energies within such as inner critic and doubtful side of self who blocks the emergence of your true nature. Anytime you feel a spontaneous inclination to do something proactive and old thought patterns with low self worth, judgement and fears arise, journal the experience and allow it to just be. Stay present with an open heart and increased awareness in the moment. Remember there is always so much more to you than you know!

Self respect from a place of deep love within for mind, body and heart is like a hormonal bath where kindness, compassion, joy and bliss naturally arise to become your new reality, every day and in every way! This comes from being mindful about all your actions for balanced overall wellness and ability to immensely forgive others inadequacies. “Being” the energy of love makes greater ease possible along with sheer delight and feelings of ecstasy deep within. As a result, you feel that everything in your surroundings has a deep sense of connection to your spirit including the gentle breeze touching your skin, vast sky overhead, soft soil under your feet, and flowing waters before you. Envision your spirit as the heart of a glowing flame and say out loud to yourself “I am LOVE!”. You could then extend this to your environment saying “I love the gorgeous blue sky!” “I love the wind!” “I love my passions!””I love my spiritual being and wholeness with all!”
Envision your entire life as a symphony, the great music of your existence! Your journey so far reflects your way of being as you play your instrument best as possible in each and every moment.

Enjoy the music of your life and make every moment, everyday one that you can very naturally sing and dance along with!
Be good to yourself. Make a deep commitment to leading a mindful life where you will regularly create everything your body/mind needs to maintain a natural sense of vitality within. This is the life force of your existence, also known as chi in Chinese philosophy and prana in India.
Eat well, commit to a variety of exercises you enjoy, and make sure you get enough sleep and downtime throughout each day. This is vital in order to shift from regularly experiencing moments of fatigue, frustration and impatience. Harnessing the “right” effort with “right” concentration ensures mindful liveliness and rebirth of your true beauty which was fully present in early years!
Concentrate more on what feels right deep within. If you have been obsessed with seeking ways to fix things to quell physical discomforts, shift in the moment to simply relax. Identify your emotions and allow them to drift by like weather that continuously changes. What is here in the moment shall pass by. Bring unconditional love and acceptance to the moment. Know that peace and greater ease is always available to you any time you are ready to receive it.
The body rides through ever-changing emotions, similar to going in and out of withdrawal from sugars, caffeine, alcohol, drugs and nicotine. Emotions are erupted by all these and more. If you are constantly stimulating your adrenaline and nervous system, it is now time to start a more easier path in life. Breaking free from outer stimulus allows you to feel more at ease and is surely one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself!
