“Discover how pauses invite profound inner freedom” ~Crystal Wind

I’ve been obsessed with creating more space in my life. All areas of my life. My closets are more spacious after removing unused clothing. My living space feels clutter free, nothing remains unless it is functional or creates beauty. Book shelves have been dusted, re-evaluated and re-shelved with a box of books donated to the local used book store, including the spiritual books I’ve outgrown. My desk has been cleared, old computer files deleted. Even my kitchen has been reorganized.

I have become more conscious about how and where I engage my energy. I don’t feel compelled to participate in activities that no longer serve me or maintain acquaintances I’ve outgrown. The need to be productive and valued by others no longer holds precedence. The news no longer holds my interest. A few headlines are enough to keep me current.

The more spacious my environment and lifestyle have become, the quieter my mind has become. The constant chatter and noise has decreased.

I have also been experiencing patterns of what might be considered memory loss, or forgetfulness. I’m not alone in this because there are a lot of memes about it on social media. Is it aging? Or is it part of our human evolution?

What I’ve recently noticed is this:

In those moments of forgetfulness, if I simply pause, there is a spaciousness in which the memory is still present and accessible. It’s just not in the automated driver’s seat anymore.

Our minds are automatically programed to reflectively assess every experience based on accumulated qualia, ingrained habits, emotions, wounds or memories of the past. When we momentarily pause, we create the spaciousness for the realization of new potentials based on our innate wisdom, rather then the constant click click clicking of the mind.

By simplifying life, I’ve become more consciously present, in this moment, wherever I am, whomever I’m with, as the totality of my Divine Presence. A sovereign being imbued with my Soul’s Wisdom, free of the extraneous mental chatter perpetuated by mass consciousness.

Within the spaciousness of this pause, I’m learning to live in Presence, as Presence, free of the automatic programs that have been running in the background as my life’s driving force. I sense an intimate clarity, rather than recycling antiquated qualia. As a result, energy rearranges itself in coherence with my inner Knowing.

I pause . . . in the morning before I begin my day.

I pause . . . just before I fall asleep at night.

I pause . . . if life isn’t flowing with ease and grace.

I pause . . . before I react to emotion.

I pause . . . before taking action.

Within that pause, I am in Presence. I can now “choose”. . . to engage with the memory, choose something totally new, or simply allow life to reveal its infinite potentials with the wonderment of a child.

Some people prefer the safety of living within the mind’s patterning. There is nothing wrong with that. And, there are those of us who prefer to experience the freedom and spontaneity of life. Neither is more right than the other. They are simply different paths of experience, often chosen by the soul prior to our incarnation.

So next time you walk into a room and forget why you are there. . . pause. Pause to allow the spaciousness for the memory to surface, take a step back to reinitiate your activity, or do a little spontaneous dance in place which may reveal a potential that might be way better than what you were planning when you originally walked into that space.

"When we are fully Present, we are one with the innate flow of life. Energy flows freely, effortlessly, painlessly."
