Happy Fourth of July to all who celebrate! Let Freedom Ring in our minds and hearts!
I’ve been hearing a lot of fears around a perceived loss of freedom. It doesn’t bother me. Humans were given free will by God. When we use it, we create glorious realities with solutions that don’t require a loss of freedom. When we give our minds to the external world, we bind ourselves to its choices. I’m not suggesting we go around breaking the law or being immoral! That’s not true freedom 🙂 The soul wants to love and experience love… always.
I’m not humanly free right now to do much of what I like doing. The forests in Arizona and the hikes I enjoy are closed now due to fire danger. It makes sense to give up short-term freedom to protect the greater one of having forests that are hundreds of years old stand a better chance of staying intact. I don’t feel any loss of freedom. I have been inclined to go through everything in my house lately, not hike. I’m sure I’ll feel the internal urge to hike when all’s well again.
We’re not as humanly free to travel as easily as we’d like right now. It doesn’t bother me. I haven’t been inclined seriously to travel at this time anyway. When I am I know it will be fine. Spirit guides us in a beautiful dance of harmony if we listen to the true callings of the heart.
I haven’t felt limited by covid, either, even though from a human standpoint, we all were. Rather, I felt free to examine my life without external influence, and to make changes like continuing to work remotely which allows me to both serve my clientele, and have an easier time in this body. As soon as quarantine was lifted I felt free to come and go as I please. I just bring the light with me. At times I’ve been around people coughing unmasked and it doesn’t bother me. I am free to focus on well-being and create health.
Monday night I stepped on a piece of hardware and my foot immediately grew a golfball-sized lump smack on the bottom. I couldn’t walk without extreme pain and resorted to hobbling with hiking poles. I had been rushing around feeling “pressed for time” and so be it, I got pressed alright! I didn’t surrender to the external reality for long. I got ice, took arnica, sat on the couch, and watched a youtube video of Braco, the Croatian man with a gift that often heals, and decided, without any reason to expect it, that I’d be walking pain-free by morning. I went to bed imagining this and got up and walked. The bump was mostly down and I’ve not had another day of pain. This is freedom.
So next time you feel not free, remember, choose your thoughts. Decide firmly to mentally commit to an outcome, and feel deeply into that reality. Then expect it, enjoy your day, and the freedom of knowing you just set the entire universe in motion 🙂
Here are a few pointers on how to feel your true spiritual freedom:
1. Travel in your mind regularly
Think of a place that makes you feel wonderful. It can be a country, a friend’s house, a vacation place, an imaginary place, the beach, forest, city, you name it. Now imagine you are there in as much detail as you can possibly feel. If you are not visual it’s OK. Ask yourself, “How would I feel?” Get juicy with the fantasy.
For example, while I can’t hike due to fire restrictions, I imagine my feet on the path, the smell of the pines, the gentle sound of the creek, the birds chirping, breeze in the branches, and most of all that sweet feeling of exquisite peace I feel in the silence. I open my eyes and am surprised to find myself in my home. It gets so real. I feel like I’ve just been there.
Practice feeling your freedom.
2. Prove to yourself you can manifest
Think of something you’d like to have, experience, or a place you’d like to be – one that you don’t feel physically free to experience right now. Maybe you’re restricted for some reason. Maybe you don’t have the time or money. Never mind all that. Just imagine it in great detail. Feel it, very much like we did in the exercise above. Now imagine placing it in a balloon and giving it to the universe, knowing it will come back. Watch and see how it shows up.
For example, one dear client recently said she used to imagine having two homes, but never was free to buy a second one due to not having the money. The angels pointed out something obvious that we both missed. She did have two homes in essence – one that she owned, and one that she didn’t have to care for but often house-sat, one that was even more lovely than a second home she might have imagined. The universe managed to grant that wish without the extra work!
3. When you think you can’t, ask the universe to show you how you can!
When you say to yourself, “I’m not free to….” whatever, then ask the universe to show you how you can. Let it go for now, and when you’re in a good mood sit down and spontaneously write 20-100 outlandish ways your dream could come about. Get a little childlike and wild-minded here. The exercise is designed to loosen up the “can’t do” mentality and show you that, however outlandish, possibilities do exist! I do this often when “stuck” in my head, and it loosens up my mental energy till I laugh and let the Creator of Universes do its job on my behalf!
Freedom is a tricky subject. We are often like children wanting what we want when we want and having glorious tantrums when we don’t see it coming. I’ve been guilty of that too! But in the end, the real freedom is to feel how you want to feel now, and in so doing, attract even better than you might ask for the outer world.
May you feel freedom today and always in your heart, mind, body, and soul as we gradually emerge together into a more beautiful reality.
Love you all!
