I used to long for a teacher to come along and teach me all these things, and then someone said to me one day, "when you are ready the teacher shall appear, and until then BE the teacher you long for."
What a funny thing this was to hear, to me this sounded like I should just give up. But I didn't and that's what brought me here and that's why I'm doing all this.
There is something I would love to share if I can manage to put it into words. There is this sense now when I open my awareness up. Such a beauty and an inspirational feeling I receive when I'm among the natural environment, (outdoors I mean). Perhaps I'm just becoming more grounded now, not sure.
When I look at a tree or a plant or water I can feel it, it feels like it's part of me. This is very hard to describe. It feels like part of my consiousness is expanded but returned to me at the same time. I'll try to do better than that. For example when I look at a tree I get this feeling of going very deeply down into solidness and an opening up from above, there's also a feeling in the roof of my mouth that changes, my eyes feel different too like I'm looking through another set of eyes that is not looking but simply awareness of the I amness of it all. Yes, a tree is a tree, lol, and it knows it is. Why do we not know who we are? It is so simple and yet we so blindly confuse ourselves by being in our heads and thoughts all the time.
There is something so important about not being in your head all the time. Do you know what I mean?
Well being in your head to me means that you are overthinking things all the time, you over analyze things to the point that you don't know what to think anymore, ego is having free run, and that you are not grounded in who you are. This getting out of my head has been a hard lesson for me, one that I'm still learning to master. I have found I recognize this in others very easily and have been at a loss as to what to do to help them see it. Perhaps that's not my job, lol, but it was pointed out to me and it helped me a great deal!
I will begin by saying that today we recognize the three parts of ourselves generally speaking as the mind, body, soul, or the consious, unconsious and super consious.
Many of us understand the role our body plays in our life as our physical vessel, the soul is something we are all striving to understand and hear, and the mind is what trips us up over and over when it becomes stronger than the other two and so often is, and this is when we need to get over ourselves and get out of our heads because true awareness and connection is not made through the head but through the heart and soul.
So to get out of your head so you can hear your soul and feel oneness you must learn to be your own master. Is that easy? No. But it doesn't have to be complicated. One thing I learned was to become the observer of my thoughts. I learned some affirmations I will share here you may find useful;
"I am the observer of my thoughts"
"I am the awareness beyond my thoughts"
"I am free to think positive thoughts and rethink the negative ones"
"I release all thoughts that do not serve my higher purpose"
"I am the creator of my own thoughts and I take responsibility for them"
"I am aware of which thoughts arise from fear and which thoughts arise from love"
"I choose to be consious and awaken my soul to a higher level"
I hope these can help a little. The other things you can do is to be as grounded as possible and follow your quiet inner voice instead of your thoughts, after all YOU are NOT your thoughts, YOU are not your body either, but YOU are your SOUL. It is what you come into the world with and it's all you get to leave with so treasure and honour it.
Getting out of your head is but one lesson on the path to higher consiousness and awareness but I found it a really important one. When you are not ruled by your head (or ego) you will know who you are, you will not question yourself and your decisions all the time, you will be more firmly planted in the inner knowing of yourself, you can hear your soul or inner voice more clearly, your thoughts won't rule you, you won't lay awake night after night thinking things and worrying about things over and over, you may cure your insomnia, lol, your dreams will reflect a more peaceful YOU, you may even find such a lovely coming home to yourself feeling like you've never known, and I hope you do.
Blessings all and always. Continue on your journey and may you know yourself, your true self.
