Courage, Trust & The Authentic Self

By Maryanna Blair

When your soul, or spirit, takes on a physical body you have the building blocks of your destiny, a blueprint of abilities, talents, interests that are innate, and uniquely yours. As modern human life has pulled us away from communing with our continually evolving spirits, or souls, often nagging questions, distracting urges, conflicting desires, goals, or feelings of emptiness, loss or disconnection rise up within us, like stumbling blocks, and demand that we stop to deeply receive what is attempting to become conscious!

Although you may feel like all hell is breaking loose, you are actually being assisted and blessed! Why? Because it is a crucially potent time to listen with every aspect of your being! Truth, via your Spirit, is breaking through old programming and limiting beliefs within you, for your benefit! The best question would be: "What is it, which is aching to be born in me now?"

Your Authentic Self, Spirit is alerting you, by way of the chaos, it gets your attention! It pushes through confusion, to assert that "It" wants to "express" more fully through you! Your Spirit wants to assist you in opening to Its direction, by pointing the way of your own authentic unfolding. Spirit wants to participate more in your important life choices, your work, your health, relationships with family and friends, your creativity, spiritual practice and power, and how you nurture yourself. The usual result shows you much more of who you are, really: your essence, true nature, more of your capabilities, talents, true passions, and YOUR COURAGE!

Your biggest step will be to trust in this opportunity of transformation and its instructions. With a little coaching you will become accustomed to communing with your spirit regularly through relaxing meditation, quieting the conscious mind, cultivating a gratitude practice and a beneficial beliefs practice, declaring intention, learning to receive your guidance and answers and opening your heart!

It will take a deep willingness to undertake the journey of sensing, knowing, and trusting the Power for Good in the Universe that permeates all of space, including you. But, remember, your authentic self, this Spirit, is ancient, similar to the wisdom expressed in the book "The Power of Now". It's not reactive, or punishing. It is a constant, powerful wise presence that will not continue to be ignored. Why? Because, it is your life force which evolves and blossoms fully through you. Life, as far as we know, is eternal, even as we die, life goes on.

Our Spirit doesn't bow down to the failing economy, our fears, fantasies, or limited ideas about our humanness. Our soul works to bring needed change, growth, and eventually our piece of human evolution, which we have brought to manifest outwardly through our mind, body, personality and life's work to give to our world. Also the intelligence of the heart is soul awareness. The soul is a repository for all our life experiences and It's plugged into Divine Mind, God, Universal Intelligence... whatever you want to call it.

It's time to really honor this deep intelligence especially considering the current stresses: emotional, economical, and political throughout the entire American Culture. It's time for me, you and all of us to listen, hear and heal ourselves! As, it is only in our truest nature, our spirit, that we'll find life as engaging, as interesting and undeniably satisfying.
What we are actually receiving is our mission, should we choose to accept it! Our part is our personal and planetary evolution. Are you willing?
