HJ: You have an innate brilliance that you can access whenever you want simply by practicing certain ways of being, that counterintuitively are actually fun and relaxing.  That’s right, our brilliance tends to arise when we let go and relax to balance out the intense focus and concentration with which most of us engage our work.  Like all things in life it is about balance.

For many of us we have been brought up within a social structure that demands we become a ‘productive member’ of our society; thus much emphasis is placed upon developing individual skills so that we can compete with each other for social betterment. Inherent in this is a residual fear that if we open ourselves too much to others we may lose our ‘competitive edge’ and defined sense of individuality. Much of mainstream media (aka propaganda) has exploited the mythological images, collective stereotypes, and subconscious signifiers that play on our collective vulnerabilities and social fears. Knowledge has more or less trickled down to the average person...

We all know we should lower our stress levels, but it isn’t always easy. Sometimes, though, knowing exactly how stress is affecting us can be highly motivating to take steps that will actually decrease stress in our lives. Whether we do it by spending time in nature, practicing yoga or tai chi, laughing more often, or by unplugging from our computers and smart phones for at least a few hours every day, lowering stress is imperative. Here are 5 reasons why learning how to destress is so important:

Humanity is now in a period where it faces several serious threats to its survival and conscious evolution. But there is no effect without a cause. Everything affects everything else.

The stranglehold that the concept (and energy) of money has on humanity is one of the primary drivers of this disconnect to the interconnected aspect of human consciousness. It can be said that modern society has lost access to transpersonal awareness, but has not lost the ability to do so, which gives us enormous hope, both individually and collectively. Under the proper conditions, most individuals are able to become aware of the somewhat vague (but meaningful) images, intuitions, senses and feelings that come to them from the environment and from others. We can see this happening with greater frequency, which is definitely reassuring.

Please remember that you asked to be human.  The growth and learning you are receiving now will extend far beyond the life you chose before you started living it.  The changes you are experiencing now, your awakening, are a necessary part of the process.  Yes, it will be painful at times and yes, it may seem that you are not making any progress at all. But, my dear and beloved child, never lose sight of the fact that all the tools you need are already inside you just waiting to be put to use.  You can spend your time bemoaning the lack of an instruction manual or you can use that time to creatively access whatever you need.  The choice is always yours. ~ Creator
