What does it mean to feel alive? Really ALIVE? Remember a time when you felt really alive. What did it feel like? Sometimes for me it is as simple as a tingle in my fingers. Feel that now, that aliveness that is the tingle in your fingers. Whenever I do that, a smile automatically appears on my face. Other times I touch into my heart and feel that space. What happens when you feel into your heart, do you feel safe, sovereign, and connected? The heart is the seat of the soul, the highest self version of you that is so very alive.
Many of us have lost this connection, this feeling of aliveness. There are many ways to not feel truly alive in this life – maybe you are just going through the motions, doing what others expect for you, or just distracted from the very essence of you. Think of all of the obligations, responsibilities, or screens we can distract ourselves with in any moment. How do you get back to yourself and within to create a life where you feel wholly fully alive?
Safety
You are probably reading this article from a place of relative safety – you likely aren’t being chased by a saber toothed tiger. In addition to alerting us to physical threats, our bodies can send us an alarm anytime we perceive an emotional or egotistical threat as well. And sometimes we hide from those alarms or stop listening to them – but they are still going off and stealing your energy. If you are anything like me, you put up a good front that everything is ‘fine’ but on the inside you are regularly worried or constantly thinking. You might have enough to eat and a place to live, but our world regularly has us vigilant. And unless we soothe the alarm to really let our bodies know that we are safe, the alarm will use up a lot of energy keeping our nervous system on high alert and helping us stay vigilant. This constant alarm can create a fatigue that keeps you from feeling truly alive.
A reminder that we are safe in this moment can go a long way in soothing the alarm and helping to tame the thoughts that tend to keep you on alert and distracted. A foundation of security and stability is a great place to get connected within and start to create your life. When we are ready for more aliveness than the tingly sensations in the body, the creation cycle will help you tap into inspiration, passion, and connection. And in creation you begin to create a life fully lived.
Sovereignty
Living life out of unconscious patterns can also be exhausting, especially as they tend to repeat themselves until we choose differently. Maybe you are beginning to notice a shadow part of you, a patterning or habit that keeps popping up, or a part of yourself that feels less than others. These all take energy from the creation cycle and your life. Begin to decide what it is you truly want to spend your time doing in this life and who they deserve to be in this life.
Connection
Connect to the divine energy within. This will help you feel empowered to be powerful in this life and more fully yourself than you have been aware of before. It feels so good to focus within and connect. And as the meditation continues, energetically we join together in meditation to support one another for the well being of all. The energy that is created by our connection to each other, our sun, earth, and stars is shared through us, for us, and to us. This shared power of the circle feels like belonging, like you matter, and are supported in the life you choose and the healing steps you wish to take.
You are the only one who gets to be you, and these circles are here to support you in becoming the next best version of yourself.
