OPENING A CLOSED CONNECTION



Opening A Closed Connection



                                                                              

There may be times when we feel like our connection to the universe is closed.
May be things don?t seem to be going well in our day, or our lives, or we may
feel out of our element. The truth is, the universe is always there for us. We
know that we create our experience with our thoughts, and this is another way
we need to make a conscious decision about how we want to experience life. It
is up to us to do the work of making the connection, because nobody can do it
for us, though sometimes the universe may send us wake-up calls.



You can think of it as getting some fresh air. We are always breathing and the
air is always around us, surrounding us, moving through us. But we may need to
step outside of where we are in the moment? physically, mentally, or
emotionally? and make the conscious choice to take a deep breath in order to
feel the air coming in and going out. Whether this means stepping outside
physically or merely shifting our thoughts, it is only our perception that
changes; the air remains the same.



It is just as easy to reconnect with the universe. Using the same technique as
a breath of fresh air, a deep breath can bring us back to our center. As we
inhale, we fill our bodies with the oxygen needed to replenish our most basic
physical needs, allowing the air to circulate within us. Exhaling, we release
the stale, the used, the potentially toxic air, removing any blocks that may
keep us from going deeper into the stillness that lies at our centre where we
connect to the universe. Feeling closed off does not need to be a negative
experience. When we become conscious of it, we can think of the wholeness of a
closed circuit, which allows electricity to connect and flow properly. Our
bodies work the same way, and when we make that connection in our minds, it
can help bring us back to the connection we seek.
