Removing

Obstructions

Allowing Our Light To Shine

When we don’t

feel ourselves shining, we can tune inward to find the block that prevents us

from shining our light.

There are

times when we may not feel at our best and brightest. At those times we can

take a look at what we might do to let our inner light shine to the fullest.

Because we are physical, mental and spiritual beings, we need to determine

where our spiritual light is being filtered or blocked. We can work from the

outside inward, knowing that we are the only ones with the power to dim our

lights, and as we clear away the layers we can get out of our own way to feel

the warmth of our own light shining again.

As vehicles for our mind and spirit, our bodies require proper maintenance.

Caring for ourselves is like polishing--helping to clear away the accumulation

of physical debris that keeps us from operating at our fullest capacity. A

simple shift in our thoughts can positively affect our mental state, moving

from complaints to gratitude and applying the powerful light of love to any

shadowy thoughts. A change of scenery can allow us to see the world in new ways

too.

Once we are free of our restrictions, we can become still and connect to the

power at the center of our being. It is always there for us, but when we forget

to connect, or siphon our power in too many directions, we cannot make the most

of our energy. Starting from the inside out may direct us to take the right

steps for our journeys back to the light, but sometimes it can be difficult to

find the stillness if our bodies and minds are in the way. As we practice steps

to keep our energy flowing freely and without obstruction, we shine our light brightly,

illuminating our own paths and making the world around us glow as well.
