Born Knowing
You were born knowing your freedom
Knowing you are completely worthy, supported, Loved and cared for by life. You have the right to ask and receive whatever you desire in the moment. You knew when you came forth into this magnificent life that you are free to be do and have anything you could imagine. You new there is an infinite source of love, abundance, freedom and support that allows you to explore, discover, create, express and have fun in this wonderful world.
Have you ever wondered why human babies are born so much more helpless than the animal kingdom. Is there a reason or purpose for this? Do we want or need the experience of care and support longer than the animals? Are the animals always connected to their source? Do they know their worthiness to receive, do they get the world will always support them, and nature or the universe will provide what ever it is they need? Is this knowing more entrenched with in them than us?
Maybe the answer is yes. We are all born knowing it is our right to live an empowered life, but somewhere along life's path many of us loose this knowing. Why is this so? Look at a new born baby, or even young children. They expect to be cared for, they do not seemed concerned with all the things adults worried about. You might say no because they have no responsibilities, no intelligence and no sense of order, young children are to be molded and taught to do right from wrong.
My little four year old niece said to me one day when I put her in my car. "Your car is very dirty, don't you clean your car." Then she proceeded to tell me how to get to our destination in case I didn't know. The entire root she instructed me where to go. This coming from a four year old! What kind of exposure had occurred for a four year old child to worry about the cleanliness of my car? Why wasn't she more thrilled about the car journey instead of worrying if I knew how to get her to the destination? She could enjoy the ride as most little children would do, stick her head into the wind and look at all the fascinating things that go by. Point out all the cute doggies along the rout. I did not expect this type of behaviour from such a small child, but habits can be picked up very early in life. I am sure she was not born nor did she display this concerned attitude when she was a baby.
It is interesting to me that most parents think, if they do not show or teach their children how to live right, these little genius creators will get it all wrong, muck it up and fail. Is this their natural way? If we do not put them on the right path, will a child naturally fail? Or do they have their own internal guidance system that is clearly showing them what is good and what isn't.
Do we, as we teach our children to talk, read, spell and write, also teach them to worry, compete, because there can only be one winner? Do we teach them about lack, because there is not enough for everyone, and teach our children about, loss and failure as we worry if we will get what we want?
Is it more important that children receive a A grade in mathematic than retaining a knowing that they are loved and supported and life is a joy and will answer their every desire?
I think the children come forth to teach us.!! I think success is their natural way. it is an inbuilt program we all come forth with. Most children do not fail to learn to walk, talk, learn and so on. It is natural for them to succeed in everything they attempt. So why does it become so much harder when they get older? Do the lessons get harder? Is it as easy for an adult to learn a new language as it is for little children? Same lesson different effort.
I think this program of success, which is natural to us, is reprogrammed out of us and replace with inferior software like doubt, fear and lack. We are taught to doubt our natural guidance system and not to listen to our feelings. In fact many social attitudes have told us not to listen to the way we feel because this will misguide us. We were told by many authoritarian organisations, feeling good is irresponsible or even bad and can be the work of the devil, and feeling worried or humble or nervous is doing good work. Bow before your superiors, listening to the advice your elders because they know better then you. "Do as I say not as I do" And on and on it went.
Relax
When we Rest, relax and re-centre we regain or remember who we really are and what we are capable of. Take it easy, lighten up and we will regaining our power. Connecting to our source is not something that is difficult, it was much more difficult to forget or to be reprogrammed out of our natural joyous state of being. One only has to relax, like when we meditate or go on a great holiday. Change the environment where the triggers to our worries aren't present and our natural joy and genius comes flooding back.
My neighbour told me a story about her anorexic and bulimic younger self. As a young girl she was so worried about her self-worth and the opinions of her family, friends and the community she became completely overwhelmed. So she thought she could remedy this by controlling her body image. But one day, so fed up with the worry and the torture she was putting herself through, she decided she was going to heal herself. she told me. "I took myself on a trip around Australia where no one knew me. The trip lasted for a year or so and in the time I was away I was completely healed form this devastating condition. I forgot about who I was at home and instead had many wonderful adventures and met lots of fascinating people."
She relaxed and her mind and body healed. It returned to her natural state of knowing she is a beautiful, smart and worthy woman.
I remember when I was a younger girl traveling the globe, the feeling of freedom I felt from the thought no one knew me or who I had decided I was . "All my insecurities and fears are not known to the stranger overseas, I can be anyone I choose to be." I thought.
One time as we were traveling through Greece, one of the shop owners in the local tourist market pronounced I was a famous British rock star. So for a day and a night I went along with his view of me and enjoyed all the attention and free drinks that came with the fame.
Let us recapture the knowing we came forth with? We can play any role we wish to, mother father, brother, daughter, student, employee, boss, but lets play it with an absence of fear and feel instead the freedom and knowing we can have it all. ALL OUR WISHES WILL COME TRUE. Let us practice relaxing more and worrying less. Let us focus on the perfection of life and not what needs changing or fixing. Let's look through the eyes of our younger connected selves and remember our birth right to have it all. Our ability to learn anything easily and effortlessly. Remember the Universe Loves and adores us and through the powerful Law of attraction is bring to us what ever we desire. Let us reconnect to the genius within us and live an enthralling existence.
Decide
We will always be who we decide we are, but most of us decided a long time ago we are not worthy, brilliant or good enough to get what we want, and feel stuck with this view of ourselves. BUT We do have the power to change our minds and decide to be so much more. When we decide to be brilliant, we will return to our natural state of empowerment feeling free to be do and have anything we want, no longer needing to listen to the limited opinions of others. The only authority in our lives can be our own desires and how we feel about receiving them. Decide you can have it all and go out there with this attitude and achieve it.
When we give ourselves permission to be joyous, we will stop looking for it.
There is nothing you are supposes to do, only what you want to do.
Be easy about life and enjoy the journey. Look for the cute little doggies along the path.
Love is you, remember to feel it.
