It is my practice to urge those with whom I engage to connect to the Universe/All/Source as often as possible in order to assist them along their Path. I point out that the connection and access to the All is through Love (as opposed to Fear) and that this is Chosen by us each and every day in a myriad of ways. I offer this guidance while acknowledging that most of us live in a hectic and busy world filled with distractions, obligations, complex relationships and an endless set of to-do's. Therein lies 'the rub' and where the majority of the work lies for most of us: Where & How do you make this connection?
My advice is simple - find what you Truly Love and do that. Do as much of it as often as possible and pursue it with focus, joy and a depth of spirt. If there is something that you do not Love then by simply focusing on that which you Truly Love then it will eventually just fall away. Full Attention on that which IS Love will immediately bring you Present - every time. This is what I call an Access Point and something that I use as a guide or touchstone to assist me in my everyday life. From my experience you can have a number of them but I will share Where and How I used one Access Point recently as an example.
I was meeting with an advisor the other night and we were discussing this very topic (accessing the All via Love). As our meeting was winding up there was a small earthquake (4.1 - very light shaking of the room) at almost exactly the same time that I received an email alert notification that there was a large accident in Half Moon Bay that would impact both of our commutes home and potentially our next obligations (due to the delay). With synchronistic events, it is my practice to use 'worldly' reminders to utilize an Access Point to ground myself to help determine my Next Steps.
As soon as I left the meeting I called my wife to tell her of the accident, find out where she was and see if she was going to be able to still pickup our son at daycare. She said she was A-OK, still able to make the pickup and that she had a good day, asking about mine as well. We chatted for a bit and she said that she'd meet me at home but that there might be a delay, and then we hung up. As I kept driving in the now almost stalled traffic in the direction of the accident I saw her pass me on the other side of the highway and I could literally Feel my Access Point passing me by.
As I finally made it to the next intersection I Felt ahead to our empty home with perhaps a warm fire and a book for an hour or 2 (due to the accident). But behind me I Felt my Access Point... and therefore my Next Step. So, I turned the car around and joined my wife and son at daycare. It was a welcome surprise for my wife and son and we decided to go to dinner and had a great time - my son even had French Toast for dinner (thanks to the friendly chef)! I was at my Access Point and I was immediately Present. Everything else just melted away... and I was Love.
All the Best,
Whitney
