Unusual Summer

We are having a strange summer – it has been overcast, stormy and rainy. It is unusual, as the last 5 summers were not like this.

However, it seems that a lot of the country is having uncommon weather. On the other hand, I’ve also heard that this kind of weather had been common ten years ago. It just goes to show, you can’t judge how things should be. Often it is hard to know exactly what is true or accurate.

Nevertheless, I find that the explanation for the weather doesn’t matter. What is most important is my connection to it – how I am experiencing it. And I love this weather. It is energetic cool and beautiful!

Always ask yourself what your experience is, as that’s what really matters. Recognizing and having your experience is what puts you in the flow of life. On the other hand, when we are disconnected from our experience and are stuck in our heads figuring out why things are the way they are, we lose our flow.We begin to have an altered experience in which we are lost in our thoughts and in seeking the correct or logical answer, all along not really noticing our own life experience. How logical is that?

One of the purposes of life is to have our own experience, thereby coming to know ourselves. We are meant to notice how things make us feel, how they affect us and how they change us. They are meant to help us come to know Who we truly want to be and what we want to experience. It is important to be connected to ourselves and our own experience this way as this is how we come to know ourselves and to know life.

Our minds are a part of our experience, but they are not meant to be our experience themselves. This gets us stuck in a place that is too mental or thinking-oriented. Our minds are meant to help us have our experience, to figure out how to have our experience and how to improve our experiences. For example, I am not meant to walk around outside during a thunder storm, since that could lead to a dangerous experience. Instead, if I enjoy the rain then my mind, or my thinking capability, is meant to help me figure out a safe way to experience the rain or the sound of the thunder. Our minds are only a part of what makes us up: we also have a feeling aspect, an energetic aspect and a physical aspect. In order to experience life we truly need to connect with as many aspects of ourselves as we are able.

When Life Passes You By

Have you ever noticed people say that their lives have passed by in a heartbeat? That decades have gone by and that they don’t know where that time went? Unfortunately, that is a common perception and one which indicates that the person hasn’t necessarily been present during their life. In other words, people are often so lost in a memory of the past, in a hope for the future or in an alternate world of thought or escape, like fantasy, that they don’t truly experience their own lives. For these people their own life experience has passed them by.

This can be true of any of us – even in our thirties or twenties we start to notice that we aren’t as aware of our own experience as we get the feeling we should be.

The Benefit of Your Experience

It used to be said that there was no replacing the wisdom that comes with experience (and age). This isn’t said so often any more, but there are a lot of people who do seek to hire someone with experience, and rightfully so.

The reason wisdom is meant to come with experience is because when you have had a lot of experience that you have been present for, you have allowed yourself to be affected, shifted and matured by life. By experiencing your life, specifically by being present in your life and connected with what happens to you, you can’t help but find yourself working with life and your Source Energy. You can’t help but find yourself growing wise, understanding how life works and not getting quite so worked up about life. With such experience you begin to go with the flow of life. It only makes sense that such wisdom would be sought out. It also only makes sense that life is going to become easier on you and more enjoyable as you get into this flow throuh your own experience.

On the other hand, there are a lot of people who -sadly- become bitter with life. They have not aged gracefully and can look worn and tired in their late thirties or forties. In this scenario people tend to feel short-changed by life and they can be ill-tempered and short with others. This is because life can be a very challenging and painful teacher. When you miss the experience of your own life and you avoid feeling and being affected by life, you are also inadvertently missing the opportunities to gain from your life.

Avoiding life in these ways can lead to more and more painful experiences. People who avoid their own experiences in this way often find that the experience they are having seems to be very limited, very rigid and does not allow room for expansion. At this point a life in which dreams are fulfilled is almost impossible to achieve and instead life becomes a series of difficulties and challenges that seem to provide no joy or hope.

There Is Always Hope

Whether you are experiencing your life or not, there is always hope to change your ways. Life is an amazing experience because at every turn it gives us the opportunity to begin to have our own experience. Any time we do this, no matter how good or how bad life is for us, our lives then open to more positive change. Whether it is the good, the bad or the ugly we are meant to experience it all. We are also meant to have it all in life, but it is only when we are in the flow of life that we can gain from it all and have it all.
