Speaker 1: You found your way here to waking up with Ryan.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you pushed play. This is the
Speaker 1: place you and I come to wake up together. So
Speaker 1: let's take a deep breath and begin Good morning Love.
Speaker 1: I wish it weren't so, but I got to share
Speaker 1: a truth with you today, which is that there are
Speaker 1: going to be things that happen today that you don't want.
Speaker 1: There's going to be things that happen in your reality
Speaker 1: that you wish were different. I know that because I
Speaker 1: just had that happen for myself. There was something that
Speaker 1: I've been planning with a lot of intention and desire
Speaker 1: for quite some time, and I just got the message
Speaker 1: saying that it's not going the way that I wanted
Speaker 1: to go. It's not happening. And what happened in that
Speaker 1: moment was I got to become aware of how I
Speaker 1: react when life is lifing, and that is the opportunity
Speaker 1: in these moments. It's very common in the times in
Speaker 1: life when things don't work out the way you want
Speaker 1: them to or don't go the way that you would
Speaker 1: like them to. It's totally normal to react to those
Speaker 1: moments with all sorts of thoughts about like of course,
Speaker 1: this isn't working out. Nothing ever works out for me.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not enough. If I were only this,
Speaker 1: then this would have been different. Or what does this
Speaker 1: mean about me? That's totally normal. However, if you let
Speaker 1: yourself get lost in all those thoughts, you're missing out
Speaker 1: on a major, major opportunity. In fact, I believe the
Speaker 1: reason that things happen in your in my life that
Speaker 1: we don't like is for a big purpose. Those things
Speaker 1: are happening as an opportunity for your growth and for
Speaker 1: your healing, for your continued awakening, for your spiritual growth,
Speaker 1: for this expanding sense of self, for the breaking free
Speaker 1: of the little small self that all of us have
Speaker 1: learned that we are. We get broken open through these
Speaker 1: situations where things aren't going our way if and only
Speaker 1: if we take advantage of those moments and see them
Speaker 1: for what they are, which is for an opportunity for healing.
Speaker 1: It's reminding me of a Leonard Cohen quote that said,
Speaker 1: the crack is where the light gets in. That the
Speaker 1: light gets in through these the cracks that inevitably happen
Speaker 1: as a result of being a human being. How do
Speaker 1: those cracks work well? When something is happening that you
Speaker 1: don't want. It's like there's this hit that is stimulating
Speaker 1: all sorts of material, for lack of a better word, right, thoughts, beliefs, feeling,
Speaker 1: sensations that are moving around the world with you because
Speaker 1: you and I, in a way, it's like we are
Speaker 1: these systems of unprocessed emotions and experiences moving around the world,
Speaker 1: and that material is all stuff that often needs to
Speaker 1: be witnessed, needs to be scene, needs to be loved,
Speaker 1: needs to be nurtured so that it can free up
Speaker 1: its hold that it has over us, so that it
Speaker 1: can free up this drive to grab our attention all
Speaker 1: the time needing that healing so that we can be
Speaker 1: free to be ourselves, to be divine, to create, to
Speaker 1: be the incredible, miraculous beings that we came here to be.
Speaker 1: And so in the moment that something isn't going our way,
Speaker 1: it's like there's a wake up call that is happening.
Speaker 1: It's as if the universe is trying to shake us
Speaker 1: to say, hey, pay attention, wake up in this moment
Speaker 1: that if I'm being the Universe's voice right now, there's
Speaker 1: this moment that I am delivering you something that you're
Speaker 1: not going to like so much, and the opportunity tunity
Speaker 1: for you in it is how are you going to
Speaker 1: be with that? Right? How are you going to show
Speaker 1: up for that? Are you going to unconsciously allow your
Speaker 1: mind to hijack the experience and deliver you into a
Speaker 1: whole story about the situation, which is only going to
Speaker 1: increase the anxiety, the tension, the escalation of your nervous
Speaker 1: system and then cause you to react from that place,
Speaker 1: which is just going to then create a cycle of
Speaker 1: kind of acting from that place, which then kind of
Speaker 1: gets that wound to speak for you. And then it's
Speaker 1: like this back and forth where you're fighting with life
Speaker 1: or are you going to see this moment as an
Speaker 1: opportunity to be a crack, to let the lighten, to
Speaker 1: pause and go, oh, in this moment when I'm not
Speaker 1: getting what it is that I want, when things aren't
Speaker 1: going my way, what happens here? What is going on
Speaker 1: inside my body that needs my attention? Can you slow down,
Speaker 1: push pause and simply be aware? You know? In the
Speaker 1: Yoga Sutras, this ancient text, it says the purpose of
Speaker 1: everything that can be perceived is that it be perceived.
Speaker 1: Whoa that means. The purpose of everything that you can see, taste, touch, here, think, feel,
Speaker 1: the purpose of everything that can be perceived is simply
Speaker 1: that it be perceived. There's something about just putting your
Speaker 1: attention on what is here that allows for this orchestration
Speaker 1: of your continued healing. And so today, if something arises
Speaker 1: in your experience that is different from what it is
Speaker 1: that you want, I want you to hit the pause button.
Speaker 1: I want you to notice your temptation to jump up
Speaker 1: into your mind and instead simply be here with what
Speaker 1: is this bringing up for me? What is a rising
Speaker 1: that needs some tender love and attention. This is how
Speaker 1: healing happens, through this detoxification, through this chipping away at
Speaker 1: the layers of memories and personality and beliefs that have
Speaker 1: gotten and developed our whole lives, like layers and layers.
Speaker 1: These situations when things are tough, it's like they're chipping
Speaker 1: away at these layers to unveil the beautiful light, the diamond,
Speaker 1: the beautiful beingness that you are that is right here
Speaker 1: wanting to be exposed, wanting to shine itself into the world.
Speaker 1: And so let's take a brief moment, if you can
Speaker 1: to close your eyes and take a deep breath, feeling
Speaker 1: this groundedness you have to the earth, to life, remembering
Speaker 1: in this moment that there's so much more here than
Speaker 1: you're even aware of, a whole beingness that is you
Speaker 1: walking a journey to remembering who you are, to your
Speaker 1: healing through this process of detoxification, through letting go who
Speaker 1: you think you are, to allow yourself to be aware
Speaker 1: of who you truly are, and so setting yourself up
Speaker 1: now before you go out into your day, to touch
Speaker 1: into this presence so that it may show up for
Speaker 1: you in the moments that you need it today. Let's
Speaker 1: take a deep breath here, I let it go as
Speaker 1: if you are granting permission to your highest self to
Speaker 1: remind you to come back home today as often as possible,
Speaker 1: to come back to this being, This that is here
Speaker 1: living something so much deeper than just the moment to moment.
Speaker 1: Things that are or aren't happening in your day to day,
Speaker 1: an invisible process unfolding that is highly intelligent, that knows
Speaker 1: exactly how to use the challenges you face as opportunities
Speaker 1: for you to remember who you are. Knows how to
Speaker 1: use your pain for your healing, knows how to turn
Speaker 1: your doubt into faith and knows how to turn your
Speaker 1: fear into love, and to that we surrender today. I
Speaker 1: want to take a deep breath here, let it go,
Speaker 1: and if you'd like to open your eyes. My hope
Speaker 1: and my prayer for you today is that you remember
Speaker 1: everything that can be perceived it's happening, so that you
Speaker 1: can perceive it. Notice the temptation to go into judgment, criticism,
Speaker 1: thinking strategy, and instead just come back what's here? What's
Speaker 1: here now? Loving you from here? Hi, I hope you're
Speaker 1: feeling even just a little bit more prepared to take
Speaker 1: on the day. But before you go, I'd love to
