i'm full

My brain is full! I learned a lot from the chakra workshop I attended. It wasn’t one of those times where you are overwhelmed with so much information and “newness” and excitement that you can’t contain your enthusiasm, then you come home with resolve and ambition, but somehow don’t ever get there…

This was different. It is a quiet thing, very subtle and personal. It’s about being aware, about always thinking about who is looking out of your eyes and living inside of your body. Why you operate the way you do, and how to change the patterns of behavior inside of yourself that hinder your progress toward your goals and self-actualization.

The quietness is good for so many reasons. First and foremost, it means that it’s not going to lose the fizzle quick. It’s going to be easy to implement and continue. Secondly, it is so complementary with other things in a person’s life. You are not asked to replace your religion, relationships, or to forsake all of the behaviors that you currently have. The big steps are just about awareness and understanding. Making peace with who you are, and why you are who you are. If you can’t make peace, then you work quietly, peacefully, steadily, to make it to where you want to go and who you want to be.
