Letting Go of Fear & Letting Love In

In yoga, they say that whenever one is challenged to do a certain pose, it's actually a statement to one's beliefs - thoughts, fears, doubts - anything that holds one back in life, in general.

I've always been flexible in doing back bends, and at the same time, I find it so challenging to do its counterpart pose, Sarvangasana. For some reason, I honestly felt this "fear" of where to place my feet when it goes backward, how about my neck, and all these things that seriously held me back for years. And for some reason today, as I was in the process of making a very important decision - whether to pursue a Full time job, or really take the time to Nourish my Soul and addressing issues with my Root Chakra - I found myself lying down on the floor and surrendering to the Earth.

I started moving, breathing, yes, breathing so deeply that I didn't want to think about anything at all - wanting to stop trying to decide and let the decision come to me.

Sounds weird, right? But I assure you,whenever you're faced with challenging decisions, as hard as it may seem, come to that place of Complete Surrender and truly feel your body, listen to your inner voice - your intuition, whatever that is and yes, let the beautiful, abundant Universe speak to You.

As I tried to get out of my head, and really listened to my heart, I found myself in a Shoulder stand position close to a wall behind me - and as tread through the pose - lowering down my feet backwards, for the first time in life, I am able to touch my toes to the floor. For the first time, I wasn't thinking and my body did all the work for me.

And right that very moment, I have decided.

I have decided to let go of my fears and be true and love myself more- as selfish as it may sound. How can we pour out of an empty cup? How can we give out love, and be of True Service to others if we, ourselves- from deep within - is troubled or bothered or not in peace?

This is my message to you out there.

Don't let fear of not fitting in stop you from taking the time to know and nourish yourself more. Don't let it stop you from prioritising Love, above all. Don't let it stop you from rebuilding and reconnecting with people who truly matter in your life. They are your core, your foundation - and in as much as you wish to transform - you must address these things first in your life and not drifting away.

I'm grateful to this Beautiful Soul I've met a few years back who's been continuously guiding me to find Light, to find meaning and Spiritual Direction. Thank you, Mary Ann. Thank you for sharing Your LIght, thank you for being such a huge blessing in this liberation. And like what you've said, there's more to come.

There may be challenging days ahead, but knowing that we could breathe in, and out in every moment - whether that be a Raw Beautifully Awesome one, or something difficult - with Him in our hearts,minds and deeds - we can surpass anything with His Grace, Beauty and Strength.

Much love,
