Questions

I noted a wondering on my Facebook page the other day about what the most important thing is for me now, at this stage of my life and asked for any comments. Thanks to Elizabeth for her response.

Because I've been involved in learning a lot about marketing and such through a master coaching program I took, I seem to have been led to do a lot of questioning these days. When I was in Maui in early March I got a lot of clarity about what I want to do with my work; the question of what is most important to me now is in a way related to it yet encompasses so much more.

After spending a few days simply pondering and being still with the question I have been made aware of a some of the beliefs that have been directing aspects of my journey in their own subtle ways and as I moved through them I come to realize that the question is really an ongoing one for me. Rather than finding a definitive answer I notice the question of what is most important right now is really one that is here to guide me moment to moment.

Sometimes life isn't so much about the answers as the questions. Questions that take us deeper into the mystery of Life are gifts in themselves. There are any number of questions one might ask oneself and perhaps each life expression has its own unique set of questions, guiding each one through the various phases and stages of unfoldment, and maybe not.

Life is what it is; such a variety of experiences yet only one Life.

Integrating Spirituality

Time for the next step it would appear. I'm starting a new gathering opportunity for those who are interested in taking the ideas I talk about in this blog to a new level. I'm calling it "Integrating Spirituality" and you can find the info at www.meetup.com/Integrating-Spirituality-Meetup-Edmonton.

I am experiencing an interesting combination of excitement and nervousness around this little adventure which is often how I feel when I'm taking a step that is something of a risk so it feels very right at this point in time. The trick for me is to just keep breathing into the place in my solar plexus where the fluttering happens and keep stepping into the expanded space. I notice some interesting thoughts that arise as I do that which is another indicator that this is about breaking through some limitations.

The opportunity to break through limiting beliefs often arises when you step into something you want but have perhaps been avoiding. You may have all kinds of justifications and reasonable excuses for not taking the step but when you look a little closer most of those are just projections of limiting beliefs, unresolved memories and assumptions that may not be serving you in being fully alive and expressing what is in you to bring forth.

That's really the whole point of integrating spirituality and practicing the art of allowing. It's about realizing our wholeness instead of living a fractured life where our spiritual nature and our human nature come together instead of living in conflict. When we make peace with what is instead of resisting and projecting limiting beliefs on life we open to allowing more of the natural flow of being to take us forward instead of having to make things happen or conversely shutting down.
