Imagine for a moment your perfect day. You wake up feeling peace and joy in eager anticipation of all the wonders you know you are going to experience. Every situation you encounter is amazingly synchronistic, perfectly aligning you with your desires. Every person in your life supports you with unconditional love and acceptance. Problems are just minor speed bumps that you easily navigate over while you smile and look ahead at all the wonders that life offers you. You retire for the day knowing that you have served the greater good and the world is elevated because of you.
This may sound a bit like a fantasy world but it is entirely possible when you live your life from the perspective of your Expanded Self. Your Expanded Self is that part of you that is exquisitely linked with everyone and everything in the Universe. When you are fully connected with your Expanded Self, all aspects of your being, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, are perfectly aligned and vibrating with peace, love, joy and bliss.
Your Expanded Self is always available, quietly waiting for you to come into the center of your being and claim your power. Here are 10 simple, easy and fun ways to connect with your expanded self:
Breathe: A simple, easy breath is usually all it takes to fully connect with your Expanded Self. Wherever you are right now, take a gentle, deep breath right now. Feel your body move in perfect rhythm as you breathe. Sigh with pleasure! Connect! Be your Expanded Self!
Listen to the sounds of Nature: Go outside, close your eyes and notice the sounds of Nature all around you. Listen to the delightful sound of the wind rustling leaves, birds singing their songs, insects purposefully moving about their business. Know that you too are a part of Nature, connected to all that is.
Put on your favorite music: Music naturally and automatically connects you to your Expanded Self. Turn on your favorite music and breathe for pleasure for an added boost to your vibration.
Laugh: Laughing automatically raises your vibration, increases your joy and empowers you to live your life fully and completely.
Watch the clouds: Go outside and gaze at the sky. Watch the clouds drift, expand and change color. In this moment connect with your Expanded Self and know that you are as expansive as the clouds.
Move your body with child-like abandonment: Remember skipping across the playground, without a care in the world? Or skipping rocks across a lake just for the joy of the ripples in the water? How about spinning in circles with your arms outstretched until you fall to the ground dizzy with pleasure? Play, laugh, delight in the pleasure of being your Expanded Self.
Ask Your Expand Self an empowering question: Open ended questions automatically engage our expanded self and stimulate creativity. What is the best solution right now? Who do I know that can support me in this situation? How can I enjoy my life even more fully? Enjoy your new found freedom as you actively engage your Expanded Self with empowering questions.
Schedule silent time: Silence is the realm of the Expanded Self. Dive into the silence and allow your worries to dissolve away.
Say "Yes": Say "Yes" out loud. Feel the expansion in your body. Feel your vibration instantly rise. What can you say "Yes" to today? Say it often.
Daydream for pleasure: Allow you creativity to soar as you daydream for pleasure. Are you riding a beautiful, white horse across a sandy beach? Perhaps you are meandering among the brilliant flowers of an exquisite garden. Maybe you are receiving an award and basking in the pleasure of thunderous applause. All your Expanded Self to guide you among the wonders and excitement of your daydreams because you deserve it.
These are just a few examples of the many ways you can connect to the expansive, loving, Divine presence of your Expanded Self. Thrive in exciting new ways as you live your life more fully, joyfully, and easily as your expanded self.
