Purple frilly flowers bloomed passionately yesterday as we walked around his yard. The seasonal shifts from spring into summer were apparent & are happening without our conscious consent. The cycle of nature is natural. Our nature works the same way but sometimes our minds are so focused on driving that we forget the allowing.

Look to nature to be the model this week as you move more into the allowing & receiving. Nature will surely show you that it gives its full beauty to those that look upon it. It doesn't ask for anything in return even though I'm guessing it likes our "awes" and "ohhs." It also stands in full receipt of the wind, water & sunshine. The nourishment we all seek is right here for our breathing in.

This is a mindset shift. Instead of keeping score of how much we have given & received from a specific person, let us stand in the knowing that we are always giving & receiving. The cycle of breath models this for us too. Breathe in. Breathe out. Feel the currency of breath. That, in of itself, will encourage the balancing of giving & receiving.

What's the Benefit of Balance?

Life is prompting each of us to deep integration of minds, bodies & spirits (as well as past, present & future). Emotional distance keeps us from integration & that's next week topic. For now, consider that nothing is separate from the Gift of Presence. Be the Giving. Be the Receiving. Walk thru life full of life & rejoice in the exchange of energy. This will invite the energies to all unite here, now. Presence is the present.

An Example of Receiving:

Jessica's sharing below demonstrates what can happen when we are open to receiving from the wisdom within (which gets easier when we simply open to receiving): "Dane, I wanted to thank you SO much for everything. Such peace of mind came from everything you said. To be honest, I felt like I was going crazy last summer when the urge to move struck me. I loved our house & had actually waited years to build that particular house. So to feel the pull to move just out of the blue, kind of freaked me out. It sort of felt out of my control, almost like I was following a path that had been laid out for me. Then it became clear to me that I wanted an older home with history & character. That also threw me for a loop because I NEVER wanted a house as old as the one I grew up in. But I just kept going, following what felt right.

It feels like everything is finally falling into place. So much of what you said confirmed things that I was already feeling. So many "ah ha!" moments yesterday. Things make more sense now. I'm not feeling like I'm going crazy anymore. Actually, I'm excited about what's to come!"

Our Core, that seed of self, holds our natural wisdom. Listen. Receive.

I'm here to hear you & to help you hear yourself,

Dane
