In The Moment with Ariel & Shya Kane

So difficult and yet so simple

     

the idea that you are exactly as you are meant to be in this moment, and now this moment. it's scary to accept because it feels like we have to accept all the messed parts of ourselves that reside inside. the part that we're all so embarrassed and upset about. we fear that by accepting ourselves as we are right now, in this moment we are doomed to exist in our unhappiness (if we feel so unhappy). but like any parenting class tells you, the way to encourage faith, courage, and love is to give your child a solid sense that it's ok. whatever it is, it's ok. my "uglies" are mine. they are my badge of a life lived on this planet. they reflect so many of the beautiful and and painful moments that have passed through my existence. how could i wish them away? instead, i let them come and go as they will. i fully engage in the feelings they bring me and i don't judge. i love myself and i stay engaged in the world and the life that is walking with me, here, right now. and i observe the wonders that awaits me. i'm new to these ideas, but i just sat through the entire podcast selection and i feel like there's something powerful here. it is my intuition that there is something powerful here. i look forward to future podcasts from the Kanes and feel so grateful to have found them on itunes.
