You already are who you want to be

I’ve been reading Living with Joy, a book channeled by Sanaya Roman, and the wisdom comes from Orin.

Orin shares with us that we already have inside of us everything we want to be. Wish you were a more generous person? You already have that quality inside of you. Wish you were more beautiful? You already have great beauty inside of you. Wish you were more loved? All the love you could ever want comes from the wellspring inside of you.

Let’s look at what this really means. You are an extension of Source energy. Abraham tells us this all the time. That means you are everything that Source is. And Source contains all things in unlimited abundance and flow. The older religions tell us the same thing - we are the image of god.

But it doesn’t feel this way. It feels like we’re not even close to coming packaged with all that Source is. We feel the lack. We feel the missing pieces.

There’s nothing missing. Instead it’s more like there are parts of ourselves that aren’t activated completely, or are dormant or are not operating at full capacity. Your focus determines what expands. This is true for the outer world and also for your own inner world. So if you focus on seeing yourself as an unloving person and berate yourself for that, this is what expands.

Remember that you choose your focus in every moment of life. If you want to call forth the part of you that is more loving then you want to put your focus here. How can you do that practically? There are many ways to do this. You could recall a time when you were loving towards someone. Sit for five minutes with your eyes closed and remember that time. Replay it and feel it. You are expanding the more loving part of yourself.

Or you could imagine yourself being more loving. Maybe you wish you were more loving towards your partner. Close your eyes and go inwards, this time for 10 minutes. Ask your inner self why you’re not more loving. At first you may hear from the scared and protective parts of yourself. They may tell you that you can’t be more loving until your partner is more loving towards you first. They don’t feel safe. Listen to these parts and wait for the inner self to speak.

Your inner self may reveal that you’re scared that you won’t be loved and that be loving will hurt you. Now tune into Source. See yourself plugged in to the energy of the universe and feel the love that you are connected to and which flows to you in all moments. Feel the abundance of that love. You can feel loved whenever you want to because you are love and you receive love always.

Now see if you can flow some of that love to your partner. Just in your mind and through your heart. Feel loving towards them. There’s nothing else you have to do. You don’t have to perform a particular action that proves you’re loving. You just have to feel it. If you feel inspired to take an action follow that impulse. But it’s not necessary. In these 10 minutes you’ve done everything you have to do.

You can do these activities with whatever it is you want to expand within yourself. If you want to feel more abundance you can do both of these activities in the same way. If you want to expand your sense of joy, or peace, or excitement or creativity, you can also do these two short tunings.

Try it. Let me know how it makes you feel and how it expands your experience.
