Becoming Aware of Life

Day 3: Feeling into life and the infinite energy all around us

Walking along on a 100 day journey to becoming, I am exploring the book Infinite Self by Stuart Wilde. This book takes you along on a spiritual journey to discovering your infinite self. Each day is another step along this path to knowing my inner spirit.

Today is the day to expand my awareness. To expand my world beyond the five senses. To watch for signs of the world beyond. To listen for the sounds of my soul. To pay attention to the energy of the universe.

I love how Stuart Wilde talks about how we are all connected to all things. The world is so much more than what we can observe. It is all inside of us. We do have infinity right in us, right here and right now:

From beyond the earth plane there would be no internal and external reality; there would be only the one reality, all of it internal. So you are inwardly connected to all things, seen and unseen, here and not here. Nothing is outside of you. Strange but true. -Stuart Wilde

Once we are aware of the infinity inside of us and that we are a part of everything that we can imagine, we can feel that we are all one. I often remind myself that I am a “dot within a dot within a dot.” This thought helps me to feel that I can make it through anything in life. If I have the power of all things and all things are connected, there is no limit to my spirit.

Becoming more aware of how situations feel in life is something that I am discovering through this step. I am learning that if something doesn’t feel right to me, I can let it go. I don’t need to endlessly think about it, I just know it’s not right. For example, around a month ago when I decided to let go of social media, that was a feeling that came over me. The feeling was so visceral, so deep that there was no doubt for me.

I love how Stuart Wilde explains how important feelings are in this realm:

Realizing that everything is a feeling, you can begin to place your awareness into things to discover how they feel. How does a crow feel as it flies? How does this tree feel? How does the situation at work feel? How does the business proposal that they guy in the bar has just offered you feel? Is it crooked? Is it safe? Is it comfortable? So how do things feel? In looking at your reality this way, you understand that you can push your consciousness into everything and figure out how it feels. -Stuart Wilde

Signs and synchronicities are the language of the universe, the whispers of hope, of joy and of continued support of your inner being. Really feeling into life helps you to discover each step of life with ease. Give your inner being a question about the next step for you moving forward and feel into it.

I have found that the best way for me to make choices is to get truly grounded in my body and truly listen to my feelings. One way that I do that is to walk. With each step that I take, I am leaning into the subtle signals from all around me. The more that I walk each day, the more in touch I am with all that is around me.

I feel that nature is my co-worker. I can co-create with the trees, grass and flowers each day on my garden. If everything in the universe is inside of me and I am one with everything, I can listen in to the infinite wisdom of nature and what is all around me.

My prayer, hope and intention for you today is that you feel into life. Watch for the subtle signs of the universe. Take a walk outside and feel the energy of the trees, grass and flowers. What are they communicating to you?

How are you feeling into life?
