Lesson 170: Receive With Simplicity

“Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.”

— Rashi

Such a simple sentiment. It’s something to think about. You can receive the simple way or the hard way. Does anyone actually really want it the hard way though?

Sometimes we make it hard on ourselves without even realising. We can sometimes be our own barriers. It’s not like we want to punish ourselves but we plague ourselves with worry, doubt, fears and then question decisions made. If we don’t allow things to just naturally flow, then we’re stopping the Divine from delivering to us our true path. It does take an element of letting go. It’s a trust in something bigger in yourself to let things fall into place – this concept isn’t for everyone, though I do believe in comes for each person in due time. If we let go, it opens our hearts to the possibilities. This is something that I am trying to encourage in my own life every day. There is no need to worry if I work towards my dreams and let them come into fruition based on my hard work.

Can you let go today? Open yourself to receiving and see how your life changes in the upcoming days.

Lesson 170: When You Do a Cleanse...

For any type of cleanse you do, you’re trying to release something right? If you’re doing a diet change, it’s to be more healthy and maybe get rid of toxins; if you stop taking meds because you want your body chemical free; or if you’re just simply smudging to get rid of some negative energy, it’s all a type of cleanse. Today we are to limit what goes into our bodies and notice the feelings that circulate. It’s about taking away from our body’s addictions or distractions that it’s known and discover a new feeling.

I for some reason didn’t eat that much during the day and I wasn’t aware of this lesson prior – I tend to write about these lessons at the end of day. I was just eating a lot of fruit and that filled my day. In terms of thoughts, there wasn’t really much going on either. I just went to work, felt a bit tired, came home to eat, went to meditation and back home. Just went with routine and didn’t let anything bog me down in terms of thought processes. My body is clear of any alcohol and there was no sugary drinks today – not that I have too much of those. I’m trying to fill my body with just tea and water. For me it’s really about taking small steps and I can’t say my life ain’t bad at the moment. I do want to get to healthy eating but it’s sooooo hard in winter because you just crave warm, rich foods. I think if I start small with my drinking tea and water only, that’s a step in itself for a better body. What I do need to get onto is my stretches to help my back issues so this instead of laziness, I need to do the stretches to make my body feel good.

What can you limit going into your body today? And how do you feel?
