Balloon insight

Back in Scandinavia after the second weekend at Supercoach Academy with Michael Neill in Los Angeles. I want to share with you one of, if not the, biggest insight during the weekend.

 

Background story: After getting coached by Linda Pransky one of the students of the academy had a shift in consciousness. The person was able to see the situation in a new light and everybody in the room could hear that. A lot of people could also see an actual physical shift. There were something new, something fresh in the appearance of this person. When Linda Pransky commented on this and said ”it’s as if you got rid of the weight on your shoulders” I suddenly got an insight. All I could see was this big colorful balloon rising and rising and then, getting blocked for a second then continuing to rise.

 

What I got on a deeper level than ever before is that the nature of the human spirit, our wellbeing and love functions in the same way. Our nature is to rise, to grow, to heal and to flow (nice rhyme, eh? :-). It’s just in the design of life. However, we also get blocked sometimes – by our thoughts. Thoughts weigh us down and can make life seem pretty hard if we take them serious. When our thoughts looks like reality it makes sense to power up and go ”out there” to fix it. When we see it as thought, and just a thought, we are able to relax and realize that there’s not much to do about it but that it will soon go away. That’s just the nature of thought – it comes and it goes, like the train on a train station.
If we are willing to sit with it for a while, our mood will automatically rise.

 

So, realize that you are perfect, you couldn’t get rid of the rising, the growing, the healing or the flowing even if you wanted to. It’s not how you are put together. Be gentle with yourself when you are in a low mood and know that it will rise!

 

 

Stay Loving – Stay Great!
