UNUSUAL and IMPORTANT questions about how to make life run more smoothly

Banging my head against the wall doesn’t work. Neither does it work to just let myself go and just do whatever feels good at the moment. Both these approaches to life come from the ego. 

So, maybe, if I feel constricted somewhere, I need to make that a priority, in a way that works. I need to ask myself: why do I feel this tightness in my chest? Why do I feel blocked in certain areas of my life? Why does this or that thing not work the way I want them to? What do I need to make this or that thing run more smoothly? What is it that does work well? Can I get more of that? Why does it work well?


We often try to power through doing the same thing over and over again. Or we completely let go, give up and say that there is no point. 


Now, what I’m beginning to realize, is that everything is at the core energy in motion. And this sounds really vague and airy, but hear me out. How often do we stand back and really feel the energy of whatever we are doing? Of whatever situation that we find ourselves in? In the end, it all comes down to awareness. And bringing more awareness into our lives is everything. To experience more in the present moment. To feel more of what we actually are feeling. 


I’ve often noticed that when I remember to do this, feel the energy of what I am doing and what is going on, I can quite easily feel how energy either flows calmly, smoothly and efficiently or if it feels slow and inert. Or if it’s agitated and erratic. My body is often the first to tell me. Do I feel light, full of life and joy? Or am I heavy or tight and tense somewhere? Can I really feel my body and the energies that flow in it? Or Does it feel numb and and blocked? 


Am I in a mode of acceptance or resistance towards what is? If I resist, I block the energy flow. And I cannot be present in the moment and resist at the same time. Resistance always impies a loss of consciousness. And a loss of consciousness always blocks our energy. And so on. So we need to be present, accept what is and feel what we really feel. All of it fits together. We can’t have one without the other. And when it falls into place energy flows. Life flows.
