Freedom in Who I Am

Our forefathers fought for their freedom from the external controls of taxes, religion and government on their lives. They stepped foot into this country to be free from any chains that bound them in thoughts, ideas, expression and life. The land was open and spacious to explore for their new life and they did so with fervor and determination.

What does freedom mean today? Are we free or are we bound to many of the same ideals our forefathers intentionally fought for? This country was built on 'In God We Trust'. Do we trust God, the Source, the Universe? Do we allow for free will in ourselves and others?

Our beliefs, ideals and way of living are just as important today as they were when this country was first settled. We are in a new time of evolution where we are called to be conscious and conscientious of our impact on our life and those around us. Living and being conscious and conscientious requires much thought, care, time and attention to both the big and small things that appear in our life.

I urge you to reflect on the idea of freedom and its meaning in your life today. Release any old thoughts or ideas around freedom and allow yourself to enter a new spacious pathway. There are many practices that can guide you to your individual pathway filled with wonder, beauty, peace and freedom.

Questions and truly wanting to know and understand set you on a course of self-discovery and self-awareness. A simple question that invokes and evokes deep inner reflection is Who Am I? When asked in the spaciousness of your heart, this question orchestrates your inner and outer life sweetly. An integral part to the symphonic movement is being able to accept and receive the answer graciously. Rather than get attached to the answer, realize that true wisdom comes when you release and return it to God, the Source or Universe from whence it came.

The beauty of this practice requires continual asking, accepting, receiving and releasing. Each round creates deeper understanding in your spirit, soul, mind, psychology and body and weaves a rich texture. The rich texture of freedom and free will emerges to connect you with God, the Source and the Universe in you, with you and through you.
