Aliveness, the Key and the Secret
By Reggie Odom with a forward from Dr. Kirk Prine
One of the more recent quotes people are using from me is “If you are not thinking outside the box, you are attached to a story.”
In these times, especially, there is an awakening taking place beside a pot of conflicts stewing on the planet. Thinking outside the box is necessary to really be able to change, adapt and grow with changing situations to produce results. As I have mentioned in previous ezines, the six archetypes that we teach in the Missing Thread Mystery School usher in a new consciousness and manifest success are all ones that require presence.
One of our students/colleagues said after doing her work with us recently, “The more present I become the brighter the world looks.”
When we are present everything changes from hopelessness, powerlessness, aloneness and a lack of feeling safe to possibility. Presence, then, is the real challenge in our personal life and our business. When we are present we can readily think outside the box and the story that we’re governed by external forces softens.
Donny and I just experienced one of our own “stories’ and when we freed ourselves from it, the creative juices for two amazing new programs burst forth. (You’ll see them soon.)
Our colleague, Reggie Odom, has contributed her thoughts to this idea:
Are you ready..
To step into your greatness?
What is it that you must be and do to feel fully alive?
We all yearn for aliveness. It is essentially what our personal journey in life is about. To feel and be fully alive.
Aliveness is the experience and the expression of the Life Force flowing through you. It is the true energy of being.
What aliveness is not…
Aliveness is not adrenaline. Adrenaline is the depleting and unsustainable energy of stress.
The excitement of adrenaline is often mistaken for aliveness. It is a powerful energy source for sure but over time it tears you down rather than builds you up.
Adrenalin is usually based in fear, no matter how unconscious that fear may be. It will pump you up and get you ready to fight tigers. But in reality there are rarely tigers to fight.
Adrenalin is triggered in our daily lives when we forget who we really are. We then lose connection with ourselves and look outside for answers.
As a result we shift into adrenaline based motivations and behaviors. We feel a sense of urgency. We become motivated by “shoulds.” We attempt to force situations and control outcomes or the opinions and behaviors of others. We become wired and tired.
Adrenaline is addictive. And it is burn out energy when used as a regular energy source.
Back to aliveness…
The Life Force – the true energy of being – is the vitalizing and renewing energy of life. And it is always available to us. It never runs out.
We have access to this energy and experience aliveness to the degree that we remember who we really are and express that truth in our lives.
The key to aliveness is authenticity. When we are remembering and being true to who we really are, the flow of Life Force energy is released from within. It flows through us and into our lives.
We experience a sense of connection within ourselves, with Life and with others. We are available for inspiration. Our direction comes from within. We take inspired actions. We experience vitality and passion. We are in the flow of Life.
The Secret of Life…
Now I will tell you the Secret of Life…
The secret of life is to be and do more of what makes you come alive. That which increases the flow of Life through you. And let go of what stops the flow.
What is it that you must be and do to feel fully alive? Begin now and experience the exquisite aliveness that awaits you…
Step Into Your Greatness Now! Be and do more of what makes you come alive.
