            This Week's Inspiration

Expanding into Life

Have you ever had a moment when you felt as though you were at an emotional cross-road. A time when the opportunity to be completely authentic was met with the sensation of pure fear.

I recently had that very experience, a moment when time stood still and my whole being felt as though it were facing death. Then in a blink of an eye I returned to 'normal'. But that experience provided a seed of awareness for me. A reference point for sensing when I expand into something authentic or fearful and contract into the familiar. Each time I have this experience I am in awe of the incredible speed at which my ego can jump in, contract and bring me back to some illusive safety called normal.

This week see if you notice when you begin to feel fear. What sensations do you experience in your body? What happens with your breath? How long can you touch this tender spot before you return to the safety of normal?
