Shifting out of the mind and into the heart, or out of control into flow as a new operating system can feel very foreign at first. Like any other skill, it improves with practice.

Think of learning how to skate. When you first start trying to move forward it feels very awkward and out of control. You might stumble quite a bit. But with practice you will find your balance and before long you will be gliding along enjoying how much easier and fun your forward movement is.

You might still have the occasional fall but you don’t let that throw you. You simply get back up again because you trust in the skill set you have given yourself. In fact, because of your diligence and practice, it has become very natural for you to glide along gracefully and it brings you a lot of joy and satisfaction.

It is the same with your spiritual pursuits. Be kind and gentle with yourselves when you are learning how to navigate differently, secure in the fact that your continued efforts will bring wonderful results. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
