Love the Process- A Journey to Awareness


It is time for me to share many simply processes I have used to lift myself from a negative situation and turn it into a peaceful moment almost instantly. I will use a simple, true explanation of something going on that I pulled myself out of. I am driving home from a wonderful day and in a moment of bliss my check engine light comes on. I had just had my car worked on and everything should be in tip top shape. For a moment I begin the process of worry, wanting to know what is wrong, maybe the mechanic made a mistake on something.  My mind started to race and then a paused, I remembered I was just feeling wonderful a moment ago...my thoughts scream back, but your car it is broken, something is wrong! I took a few breaths and though I was not ready to stop talking to myself I changed the subject a bit and thought, well I have been thinking about a new car, I like the gas mileage on this car though, we just had a great trip in this car with no issue. My ride home could have been wracked with worry, but I changed the thoughts. Of course a few minutes later my mind started thinking about the check engine light, again I took some breaths but this time focused just on my breath, and made a simple statement, I AM. I allowed for a moment to feel my higher connection. I know this is just a little something and whatever it may be is right for me at the moment. I had an hour drive home still and my boyfriend would bring it up here and there. We did agree to stop at the Auto store and use their check engine reader. The store we visit says they only allow this during daylight hours and it was already 8pm. We continued home, I thought about my day, my recent trip, my sleeping son, the awesome car that was not acting like it had an issue, I took deep breaths here and there when my mind drifted to anything unpleasant.  By the time I got home and out of the car I had not one worry. The next morning I woke to my boyfriend saying he already brought my car to have it checked and it was the gas cap, it hadn't been closed all the way. Nothing at all was wrong, not one thing. Glad I didn't ruin my day and trip and sleep over that! 

Recently, I have had a few people come into my life, or already are common in my day to day, that are almost "testing" my skills to stay me. I don't think they are really testing me as much as I am just learning how to deal with new situations. I love that I am coming to a point where I can immediately feel my disconnection and remove my resistance. I woke up on my vacation to a situation I could not understand, but I was not being spoken to very well, my first reaction was to snap back and I did for a moment. As soon as I noticed myself I walked away, and took a moment for myself. I thought for a second about what just happened, and knew the why from the other perspective, thought it still didn't make me feel better to know the why. I instead knew I know wanted to let it all go, I am on vacation, I am excited to have a great day. But I felt like crap at the second, so I was luck to have a brooke running along my cabin and I took a deep breath and instead focus on the sounds, I could feel my mind wander back to the moments before and I would just breath and think of my bigger purpose, to be present, to enjoy and to love. I reminded myself of my connection and refocused on the sounds of nature. In the first twenty minutes of going about the rest of my morning I could feel a thought creeping in and  would just take a deep breath and go back to the moment I was in, brushing my hair, making my coffee, playing with my son. Only 20 minutes and I was back to myself, the rest of the day was joyful and full of love. That moment one year ago would have kept me in bed mad all day, or not talking to that person, or just being snappy toward their comments. But not anymore my focus is much strong this time around.

I was driving almost 6 hours and the conversation from others we about cops, how bad they were, being pulled over, arrested, tickets. Now this for some people could be hard to deal with, but for me all I could do was internally laugh and think, but cops are always so nice when they pull me over, and I am a great drive so there really is no worry here, also I am in such a great place that my vibration is attracting awesome nature scenes, and so as the ride took place I would only intuition the cop conversation to point out the mountain tops, the clouds, and the foliage. It was an awesome ride both ways!

For a while now I have been taking time out multiple times a day to take a few breaths while being focused only on the breathing, after a while of doing this maybe 10 or so times a day I shifted slightly. I was ready to focus on the breath and it's connection to source, the one who is my breath, my heart beat, and my life energy. I would depending on the moment either focus on my breath or my breath and deep connection within it. It has been more effective then mediation for me as it is not something I must take time out for. I feel though that the awareness of two or three breaths to be all I need to see through source and love more often every day. I soon will add more to this, awareness of breath and focus on body areas and feeling the energy of source withing it, and as I have already started I bring this awareness back into the reality I must refocus on. The very best thing about this is it can be done anywhere, anytime and no one will ever know that you were aware of those last three breaths.

When I drink my water I always take a moment to think of my water in whatever way I would like to be nourished with it. For example if I am feeling low on energy I may think of my water, as I hold it with both hands, as energy water. I fond most often I prefer Love water, skinny water, healthy water, joyful water and I am always coming up with things in the moment and for that moment. I may sound a little odd but you will notice a taste different. I always drink Poland Spring bottled water. It use to always taste the same, but when I started thinking of what my water would be for my body, the taste changes. Love water does not taste like skinny water, nor spring water. Try this out and let me know how it goes for you!

I have many more ways to share but for now I will leave it there, hope this helps me remember even more clearly all the easy wonderful ways to lighten my energy, and yours too!  


*A quick note, I wrote this article about one year ago. I wanted to share some techniques I have used through out my process for more process and techniques please look into my other blog posts*
