026_ I Don't Know What's Going to Happen...

We are constantly making predictions based on our particular set of beliefs. We interpret what we think we see or hear, and then act as though we know what's going to happen. We let those assumptions make us afraid, insecure, or worried as if what we assume is real...

But, we never actually know what will unfold in the next moment. We have this moment before us. This here, now. This is what we have - one moment at a time - source by the life force - the magnificent mystery that weaves our creative heart with the heartbeat of the whole living, breathing organism which includes all... ever-creating anew, with every idea and emotion and connection within the whole consciousness and rippling through each and everything - as our shared being. It is Love loving ...

In today's episode, we’re just talking about how we play psychic with our lives. And how vital it is we practice the simple basics of mindfulness - living the yummy way. The basics are the practice and ultimately, our way of being in the world and our lives.

Are we present, aware of what is actually happening in the moment we're living, or are we caught up in a story? The basic practice of presencing ourselves in our being, mindful of the actuality of what's happening now all around us, before us, and within us. Are we mindful when our mind distracts us with shoulds or what-ifs or other predictions?

We encounter the moment, which is fresh and alive with possibility, and the mind immediately begins interpreting what it is and what it means through the filter of our particular set of beliefs and fears.

Simultaneously, we're having an energetic response inviting us to notice if the story our mind is telling us is actually in line with our true nature and the actuality of what’s happening. I call it our yummystat - a signal from our being to pause and presence ourselves.

If we're in prediction, we're not in reality. It is a 'no' to what is. That causes tension in our energy field. If we don't directly address and release that tension, we adapt to that tense state. And it starts to seem normal to be a little tense all the time.

Pause right now and notice. Are you in resistance or allowance. Are you saying yes to what is? Or are you saying no, I want something else. Thinking or predicting so future or circumstance that you want, accept and say yes, this is fine. That no alters the way we see what’s before us. Constricting our vision to our fearful belief system.

But yes is simply feeling how you’re already here in league with all the elements of the universe which brought this moment to you, so you’re open to new possibilities.

We can presence ourselves and notice - notice what's happening, both within, the tension and flow, softening and releasing and easing and feeling our being pulse  - this is love, peace and flow, which is our joy and happiness.

Life is constantly gifting us signals to pause, sink into now and let love and joy reframe the moment for us. It could be a line in an email, a bumpersticker, a song.  Most of us have allowed music and song to transport us out of an anxious mental state, suspending time and letting creation have its way with us. In fact, we can use this method deliberately — because we love ourselves...
Here are a couple of songs by Jordan Smith which do it for me:
