Some say freedom is a state of mind. I asked myself, "Am I Free," and I challenged myself to explore that question. To truly be free requires that I live a heart-centered life. That is not so easy, but it has become a little easier as time passes. I now recognize when I am out of my heart. I 'm off center, unbalanced and tightly wound in a spiral of thought that now feels as though they belong to someone else.
The other day I was captured by ego when I reacted to a circumstance that had nothing to do with me. My ego took over and drove me crazy. I felt the entire energy of my body and mind shifting into a very unpleasant place. Trying to figure it out was not the answer.
How can I change this, I wondered? What can I do? I finally realized that I was stuck in my mind and had to stop and see the situation from my heart. So simple. So easy. As I did, I was surprised because I felt a change happen so quickly. The feeling disapeared immediately and it stunned me. I blessed the entre incident as a lesson so profound that I will not forget.
With Much Love,
