When You're Riding A Bike

The Mind Is The Enemy Of Intuition, According To Many New Age Adherents, But I Don't Buy That. I Look At Everything In Terms Of Polarities - Two Ends Of The Same Continuum. Young/old, Male/female, Individuality/conformity, Work/play, Freedom/constraint, Right/left, Day/night, Life/death, Rational/emotional, And So On.

We Have Been Accustomed To Thinking That We Have To Get Something From Outside Us In Order To Be Happy, But In Truth It Works The Other Way: We Must Learn To Contact Our Inner Source Of Happiness And Satisfaction And Flow It Outward To Share With Others-not Because It Is Virtuous To Do So, But Because It Really Feels Good.

Notice What Happens When You Doubt, Suppress, Or Act Contrary To Your Feelings. You Will Observe Decreased Energy, Powerless Or Helpless Feelings, And Physical Or Emotional Pain. Now Notice What Happens When You Follow Your Intuitive Feelings. Usually The Result Is Increased Energy And Power And A Sense Of Natural Flow. When You're At One With Yourself, The World Feels Peaceful, Exciting, And Magical.

Many Of Us Have A Tendency To Deny Any Negative Feelings. We Judge Them As "bad" Or "unenlightened" When, In Fact, They Are Our Stepping Stone To Enlightenment. Our So-called Negative Feelings Or Attitudes Are Really Parts Of Ourselves That Need Recognition, Love, And Healing. Not Only Is It Safe And Healthy To Acknowledge And Accept All Of Our Feelings And Beliefs, It Is Necessary, If We Are To Get In Touch With The Fears And Pockets Of Blocked Energy That Are Holding Us Back From What We Want.

There Is A Natural Rhythm To The Active And Receptive Energies Within Us. At Times Our Energy Is Strong And Outgoing - It Is Time To Pursue Our Goals, Take Risks, Get Things Accomplished. At Other Times, Our Energy Is Quiet And Sensitive, And We Need To Take Time To Nurture Ourselves, Relax, And Just 'be' For A While. As We Trust And Follow This Rhythm, We Attract Everything We Need And Create Everything We Truly Desire.
