I soak up the outdoors, loving the fresh mountains – with snow or without – and loving the Pacific Ocean and every beach that so effortlessly leads to it. Often I roam paths through nearby trees, arching my neck up as I walk, dizzy from the energy the trees are naturally gifted with.
The spiritual energy is found everywhere. You don’t have to do anything to unleash it: just know that it exists, and slip into it. Environment is like that. And you can connect with your inner bliss more easily by choosing the most personalized surroundings so the energy can align with you as you open yourself up. Then you can accomplish that internal vibrational satisfaction that confirms you’re in your right place at your right time.
People around you have the same potential to support you in your blissful energy, so you do yourself a great service by choosing these people well. How you feel when you are around specific people is important. Just being in their energy can sustain or collapse you, energetically.Can you feel that their energy can support your bliss or influence your low? It can be subtle but it’s very real. And it’s necessary to be aware if you want to bring out the very best in yourself.
Bliss is bliss. But that’s not the whole truth, and it certainly doesn’t support the whole you. Altered states of being, and expanded states of being, are very different in tone, action and outcome.
Altered states of being are artificial highs and are simply perceptions of experience that are altered or different from those that you would normally have. They can be distractions, drama, addictions, karma, substance enhancements, sleep deprivation, etc., but always in an ‘out of balance’ way: high distraction, high drama, high karma, for example.
When you take on an artificially charged high experience, you absolutely alter your natural energy – distort it, in fact. It’s blurred, extremely emotional, ungrounded, highly charged. Are you in bliss? You would think so, because you feel so different from your normal state. But this is not an authentic bliss. It’s more like going sideways instead of up and out. An altered-state bliss is like a lateral move, not a promotion, and it’s of no benefit to you, energetically, spiritually, emotionally or physically. It’s just different and that’s your choice.
The other kind of bliss - the one I’ve been talking about - is a real promotion all the way to the top. It is an expanded state of consciousness that is very awake and very aware.
It begins with you, grounded and centred, beautifully vulnerable, real and open. Your choice of people and environment are there to support your ability to trust and allow this open feeling: open-minded, open-bodied, openhearted, all of it.
As you begin to trust your chosen space, you can begin to trust the letting-go experience, for that’s what’s happening. You are letting go of what you have been holding on to. Your body muscles have been physically tense rather than energetically full. Your mind has been restricted by rational thoughts of ‘can’t’, ‘don’t’, ‘shoulda, coulda, woulda’. Your heart has been contained - kept small and protected.
An expanded state of awareness allows you to achieve a natural bliss. It is a feeling that is beyond simply a change in perception. An altered state of consciousness is a perception change, whereas an expanded state of awareness only begins with a shift in perception. Then it becomes a mind-blowing, openhearted extension of being that moves you beyond the emotional hits and into the realms of full knowingness.
Fully present. Fully alive. Higher love.
