Living in the abundance which is already me, sometimes means knowing when to say no to work and money and just allow yourself to be. The lesson began coming yesterday, when my first client of the day cancelled only an hour or so before their appointment. If I wasn’t already booked the rest of the day, I probably would have let it ruin the rest of appointments that I did have on the books; however, because of the circumstances at hand, I just took it as an opportunity to grab a good cup up coffee and find my way to the river bank, then up to the store to buy some supplies that I needed. What originally was a bit of a letdown, quickly turned into a gift of the Universe!

Looking on to my day ahead, I noticed that I had one space open for a 60 min session and a 3.5 hour block in the middle of my day today without any clients. Of course, even with the openings, I still had 4 90 minute sessions booked. It was quickly decided, or understood that I was not supposed to try and fill those spaces, but enjoy the weather and the scenery of Austin… so I pulled my ads and closed my books. This time is about me.

I have always been the type of person who has loved what I do, and if or when I stopped loving it, it became time to find a new job or switch occupations. I have also always been the type of person that believes the old saying, “if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life!” and “I work to live, not live to work!” However; sometimes, it is easy to get caught up in the paycheck or in the dollar amount, pushing yourself to the point that days, weeks, or even months have gone by without even realizing you have not once experienced any portion of life except work..

Everyone wants to have a little backup, savings, or safety net (whatever you choose to call it).  But what are those things really? Isn’t the fixation or obsession in savings, nothing but an idea that is culminated from the ego and a place of fear? Fear that something may go wrong in the future. And then what? Like I have the ability to prevent financial hardship if that is the lesson that I need in order for my own personal or spiritual growth.

The need for a security blanket, is nothing more in a disconnections from the root chakra, or the aspect of self “Security”. Material attachment stems from the idea that my safety is reliant on something outside of myself. It is an idea that is lacking in the understanding of abundance and oneness.

All is ONE… the mantra of the root chakra. When we are living in the oneness of creation and in the foundation of self, there is no need for worry or fear, for you know from deep down within, whatever happens in life, you are safe and all of your needs will be taken care of.

When I left my apt back on Apr 30, and set out on this trip after giving away and selling all of my belongings, I knew I was in for the journey of a lifetime, a journey of self discovery and lessons that would change the way I experienced and viewed life forever. I did not set out on a 7 week journey cross the US, to live every day in a hotel room healing others; I set out to experience what life had to offer. Getting caught up in perception of lack, while in Denver, I missed opportunities to meet up with friends and experience the city again. I almost did it again here in Austin. That is the beauty of Conscious Awakening, you can awaken to the moment at any time, for all that truly exists is NOW. I have now also already closed off my books in Houston. I have plenty of clients booked: more than enough to pay for that leg of the trip as well as get a little further ahead. What more could a person ask for, unless they are living in a place of lack, forgetting the abundance which is nothing more than life… The rest, is nothing more than greed or materialism camouflaged with a Band-Aid  of misconception, created by the ego.

Pause, Breathe, feel your feet, and you will find your light: the light of self, the light of vertical connection to all that is, where all is one. In this moment of connection to self, you have the ability to see and experience all places of horizontal attachment, and the choice to detach or disconnect, freeing you to experience and live in the abundance that is you. You are Love! You are Light! You are Perfection! Give yourself the gift of this moment and allow yourself to observe and experience the abundance that is you, and the abundance you are worth!

Have a Great Day (or not) You Choose
