012_Trusting Life & Present Joy

In today's episode, we talk about trusting life - Starting from the premise that the natural flow of life is well-being, so we're choosing to see that what shows up in our lives has our best interest at heart. 

We're looking for what's supporting our joy and what doesn't feel yummy is teaching us where we're holding our life force hostage to a set of beliefs of what needs to happen for us to feel okay or happy. Present joy is always available because it is the ground of our being.  

Life is meant to flow to us and flow through us and we get to enjoy experiencing whatever it is. It's when we resist - think what's happening shouldn't be happening, we stop the flow and that feels icky.

If we're feeling icky it's a signal to let go and allow what's happening to be what it is. It is anyway. We've already allowed it on some level or it wouldn't be in our experience. 

The mind will automatically start spinning a story about why you feel the way you do and all the things outside yourself that brought it on and what you need to do to solve the problem. But that just a fantasy about what's not happening. 

What's happening is a tightening in our energy field and body. All that is necessary is withdrawing our attention from the storyline and attending to where the energy or resistance is being felt currently, then softening and letting go of the tension. 

Now we can feel the yummy flow of well-being, joy, and love that naturally already resides within us, as us. This moment is where the joy is - always here and now. It's where life is happening, why not decide to trust life? What's the downside?
