Are you expanding or contracting?

Oh I'm not talking about your waistline or the number on the scale.
I'm talking about consciousness.
I'm talking about feeling your heart wide open to all that is, right now.
I'm talking about trusting in the process and allowing life to FLOW, instead of clutching, cleanching, wrenching, holding, struggling to make life do what you want it to do.
Are you focusing on lack or abundance?
What dominates your thoughts these days?
The word “expansion” has been a theme for me these past several weeks.
And it is no accident that it keeps coming up.
Before I embarked on my recent adventure to Kauai, I listened to a lot of Abraham-Hicks You Tube recordings and videos and felt my life (as well as my body) completely OPEN to the magic.
I was in complete TRUST and FAITH that all is working together for my good.
It felt so wonderful.
I felt EXPANSION.
I felt that there was no need to worry or doubt or stress out.
I witnessed miracles and I focused on what felt good and I focused on gratitude.
The expansion continued and multiplied while I was in Kauai.
Abundance was everywhere and in everything.
And here I am today…
Feeling a little less than.
Feeling a little contracted.
Feeling the old patterns and stories of worry, doubt and fear creep back into my mind and body.
So I write this note to remind myself and remind YOU that it is our choice to suffer or to thrive.
We can choose to be a witness to our thoughts and to what is in our present situation and simply observe, calmly allowing the wave of worry to pass through us.
Or…we can choose to allow it to define us, make it our story, obsess about it, do everything we can to push it away or make it change, and inevitably take over our life.
We can choose to move away from contraction and open up to expansion.
We don't have to suffer. This can be fun.
Because life is so abundant.
We have armies of angels and guides who are cheering us on and waiting for us to ask for guidance and support.
And even in those times of contraction, where it feels better to go within, be in the silence, and recalibrate…we can expand.
Yes, we can expand in the contraction.
Fall and winter are upon us. This is the natural time to go inside, burrow, nest, contemplate and reflect.
But we are not to shrivel up and atrophy.
We can expand and open to the magic that lies in the darkness and in the quiet.
I invite you to choose to expand inside of whatever you are going through right now.
And I'm going to choose expansion today.
I'm going to follow the thoughts and emotions that feel delicious and supportive.
I'm going to witness the worry, should it come up, but breathe and allow it to pass through like a wave. Ahhh….
And I invite you to do the same, darling!
I believe in YOU.
Let's expand together!
~ Lisa
