What we have discovered is that there is a way of living where life flows freely, where there is space, ease, joy and a strong sense of connection with the world around us. When we are in this groove and can feel this lovely flow, this is a sure indication that we are living from our essence. When things feel hard, stuck or complicated, this is also a sure indication that we are NOT living from our essence and that we have disconnected from ourselves.<\/p>\n

So what is our essence?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Our essence is found in that inner-most part of us which when we deeply connect to our body, offers us those beautiful innate qualities that we then naturally express in and from. These qualities as an example may be sweetness, purity, grace, playfulness, tenderness\u2026 and the list goes on.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the core of all those qualities is a stillness, joy, harmony, truth and love – all there for us all to tap into and live from. Those qualities are always there despite the fact that we may\u00a0have lost sight of them as we get bogged down or burdened with our issues, hurts or simply the intensity of life.<\/p>\n

Living from our essence…<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We can liken living from our essence to the feeling of what it was like to live as that innocent and buoyant child where the days seemed timeless, where the joy, bounce and love for life was in every step. An image that comes to mind is that little girl skipping along the footpath\u00a0enjoying simply being herself without a care in the world, or that little boy staring in awe at a bee or caterpillar.<\/p>\n

When we are in our essence, there isn\u2019t a holding back, rather there is openness, expression, a joy that wants to shine through for all to see. When we live from our essence, there is an abundance of energy there to be shared with all.<\/p>\n

So why is it that most of us are not living from our essence? Why is it that we do not fully shine? Could that be a choice?<\/h5>\n

Ultimately the key reason is that we have not yet dealt in full with our unresolved issues or hurts. We all hold the responsibility to look at why we are not living with that full honouring and connection with our body, the essence of who we are and the world around us. We can blame others for the way our life is and how we feel or take full responsibility for the fact that we carve out our future by the way we choose to live in the present moment.<\/p>\n

One difficulty behind letting our essence out is that if we were to truly shine, then we will stand out from the crowd, people will notice us, we could no longer play it small and will have to step up our\u00a0responsibility.<\/p>\n

Could it be that for many of us it is easier and more comfortable to hide or stay hurt then to make the choice to live all the love that we actually are?<\/p>\n

Living from our essence IS a choice, a choice that is there to be made\u00a0– moment to moment. Connect with our body, our gentle breath, our inner-being and live and express from this place – no matter what.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we live from our essence, we offer that reflection reminding\u00a0another that they can choose to live from theirs too. \u00a0It\u00a0is a lot more fun and joy-full to live from your essence than not to. Go on, try it, work with what\u2019s in the way, see how you feel.<\/p>\n
