Letting It Be Easy
If you’ve ever been my client you’ve probably heard me encourage you to “let it be easy.”
For some strange reason most of us think that the harder we work the more successful we’ll be. Actually, it isn’t a strange reason at all…most of us were raised in a family/culture/community that exhorted us to “work hard” every time we turned around.
However, the law of nature is the way of least resistance. Water travels down hill, electrical currents follow the easiest path, plants will grow around a rock – they don’t try to tunnel through it. Everywhere we look in nature we see the law of least resistance. That beautiful water is not struggling to tumble down that waterfall.
Non-resistance is imperative to magic. The only thing we’ll be really successful at manifesting if we’re resisting is more of whatever we’re resisting.
When I look back at the most enjoyable manifestations I’ve partaken in, like the time I manifested an owl, or the time I got a voicemail from the Universe, or even a few weeks ago when my car pretty much sold itself, I can see that there was no struggle at all. There was hardly even any action taken, let alone struggle. I was completely non-resistant and the manifestations came about with little to no effort on my part.
So that brings us to the big question. HOW do we let it be easy? HOW do we become non-resistant?
The answer of course is to stop making it be hard. Stop struggling. Stop resisting.
Of course that sounds simple. And actually it is simple. In a nutshell: just do what feels better.
Take a break. Forget about it. Trust the process. Trust the Universe. Trust your self.
And go have some fun.
I’m not saying that you should blow off your responsibilities, because taking responsibility for your entire life experience is the first thing you must do to create magic. I am saying that giving yourself a break and doing something fun will begin to shift the resistance, even if it’s just for 5 minutes.
You see, resistance is a pattern. And taking a 5 minute break to have fun is breaking the pattern.
Being resistant or non-resistant is a state. In any given moment you are either in the state of resistance or the state of non-resistance. The four things that create your state are your language, your physiology (or body language), your beliefs, and your focus.
The easiest of these four to change are your language (stop telling that story!!), and your physiology (get up outta that chair and dance or go for a walk or have some other kind of fun for 5 minutes).
What feels good to you? What brings you joy? Playing with puppies? Dancing? Listening to a great song? Giving someone a hug?
Our worries and fears are always connected to the past or the future, but all of our manifesting power is only ever here in the present, right now. So be present and let it be easy. Intend to feel better for the next 5 minutes…and then the next…and the next. Before you know it you’ll be making magic left and right.
Go have some fun, and let it be easy.
Love & Magic,
You are so right, Cindie. Our culture surrounds us with the archaic Protestant ethic to ‘work hard’ with everything we do. Although I believe in hard work, I know that the western world has a way of instilling a bit of guilt if we opt to have fun on a regular basis. All Europeans get at least a month off every summer to ‘go on holiday.’ Americans are lucky to get two weeks. Personally, I believe that if we plan in times to enjoy and celebrate our passions, we are happy, healthier people. I am so glad you are available with all that you do to encourage your clients to live their best lives.
Hi Jeaninne, thanks for your thoughtful comments here! I agree that celebrations and an intention to enjoy life adds to our level of happiness and healthiness! We all have things we desire to accomplish and when we are taking inspired action it never feels like hard work, even though sometimes others would see it that way! We can always choose to stop struggling and let it be easy. 🙂
