Is there anything in your life you feel you're lacking, something you're yearning for? Is it love, money, recognition – to be seen and heard. Does your heart beat for adventure, change to shake up your everydayness. Do you wish to break free of something, anything that holds you down?
What if this seemingly hard path was a great deal easier than you thought? Well, it can be I feel. If you're wanting something and that's focused on an external such as the need for a person, experience or thing it's coming from a part of you that feels unseen and unheard. Always. It begins with acceptance so you could start there, just accept what you feel. There is nothing broken in you, nothing needs 'healing' either; it's more like something you misplaced in your home and you just need to find it and connect to it.
Take the need to be loved, which essentially, comes from a sense of not good enough. Imagine that you're running around outside, seeking the love you mislaid, that you already have inside your home but didn't know it. You're looking here and there, from one person to another. Even if you do manage to think you've found it in someone else, it's never going to be enough. The love we seek in another comes from and is the reflection of need, naturally. With need, it only creates more of the same.
Once you realise this, you can turn your attention to your own home, within you. See if you can find your way to the first time you strongly felt not good enough. Then, remember the entire scene; the way you felt, all the detail and in your imagination, just merge, become one with that feeling. You do this just because it's waiting to be seen and heard. There's no good or bad here, positive or negative, no judgement at all. It just waits and you are going to become one with it.
When you do this without need and with no agenda in mind, there is a peace that will come over you in that moment or merging, whereby you feel it dissolved. It may be that you need to do this more than once. It's a lot like how the stars come out on a clear night, one by one a light, until the light of awareness illuminates you inner sky.
The unconditional love you seek lies within you. If you feel a lack of anything, the same is true. The need to be seen or heard is also coming from you, needing you. Whatever you seek, whatever holds you back – the answer is found within. Freedom is not found externally, it's found by setting yourself free from the bonds of a mental program.
With the sky crowded with stars that feel so new, the easy and the hard have dissolved too.
