Letting go, trusting and the present moment May 5, 2008
Posted by bodhidude in : Psychology, Spirituality , trackbackAfter letting go of so many things in my life I am really in a place of recreating things at every level. What is interesting is that I’m being called to recreate my life in a totally new way. The old patterns are no longer working for me. Whenever I try to grasp at anything it almost immediately dissolves or slips away. Having let go of so much has illuminated my attachment and clinging in a big way both clinging to the things I am letting go of and trying to cling to the new things I am creating.
However fear based clinging is no longer working for me, not that it every really did it just appeared to. Now my experience reflects it immediately, whenever I’m grasping what I’m grasping at falls away quickly whether it be money, people or situations. What actually is beginning to work for me in this new phase is a three step process. The first step involves the practice of being in the present moment. When I am grounded in the present moment I am not tripping out about the future or brooding about the past. When I am in the present moment I have access to my truth or intuition, my creative power and energy and my passion. It is from this place that all things are possible and from here that I have access to limitless abundance. It is a fearless powerful rich place to be. The second step is to set conscious intentions as to what I want to create and from the grounded place of the present moment to place my attention and energy on what I seek to create. What we pay attention to is what we create. But the attention has to come from inner joy and creativity, from the present moment. The energy of the present moment is channeled into the intention and then by building that into a vision with all its glorious details the stage is set for actual physical manifestation.
The third step is dealing with things that obstruct this process like fear, doubt and lack. These negative thoughts and emotions come up because there is a habitual pattern of focusing on them. So when they come up instead of getting swept away by them which short circuits the creative process I consciously feel and acknowledge them and then let go and bring my attention back to the present moment and my vision. This becomes a process of slowly breaking the habitual pattern of fear and lack by releasing the energy behind it and continually bringing my attention back to the moment and my creative vision. I realize that each time I illuminate the process of fear and doubt and consciously bring my attention back to the present moment the pattern is weakened. Over time I know that it will be broken.
