FUN

Okay - it has been a while - maybe I have been a little BLOG shy - but why write when you have nothing to share - that is what I feel.... ;-) (And yes, I do have something to share today) .

It is all about FUN....recently as I have been talking to many many clients I have realised how much their spiritual quest or journey has had the fun removed from it. Who ever said it had to be that way? Do you think that is what it is meant to be like. I remember myself thinking this - sat in meditation circles - feeling slightly bored and irritated but thought I have to do this in order to open up that box that has my spiritual gifts and knowledge in it. Okay - it worked to a certain extent, but I have no doubt in my heart and soul that it worked almost despite this and not inspite this. It also probably in some way delayed my spiritual awakening and sense of connection to myself because on one level it didn't seem like fun.

Indeed - there should be regular practice of some sort - discipline for want of a better word. BUT when it is not fun there really is little value in pursuing the activity. I am not talking about resitance because that is something totally different - it is simply when you feel no FUN. You know when you feel that your energy is being zapped, when you feel bored, when you feel like you are simply going through the motions, when not doing the activity is like having won the lottery because you can do something more FUN instead. Resistance on the other hand is when you are slipping into fear - and allowing that to win - when you are avoiding that which will move you forward.

What you do, who you spend time with, what you eat, or watch on TV (note - why watch things that fill you with doom and gloom - it really is a no brainer when you think of it in that way) should be FUN. You should be consciously creating FUN aka JOY in your life and things that are not giving you this FUN/JOY or stop giving it to you should be changed or removed.

The same applies when you are looking to make a decision, however big or small - if it leaves your head spinning and it is not a good place to be - then this is not something you want to cultivate and nurture. The law of the universe is simple - like attracts like - let yourself get muddled - and flit from one thing to another and all you get is more of the same. It is not the outcome of the decision that is often important - because you can do whatever you set your heart and soul to do - it is how you arrive at that point that is important. If making a decision has not FUN in it for you then I would question why you are even thinking about it - let it go and find something else fun to do. It is through FUN that you will find liberation and through FUN you will find solutions and insights.

Fun is your Spirit coming out to play - and let;s not forget that is part of the journey that you are no doubt on - how to connect deeper with your own spirit - well have FUN!

There are no prizes to be one for those who have created the most arduous, difficult path to spiritual enlightenment - and because of this I know which path I will always take - the FUN one...

If you have read this today - trust this was meant for you...so go on I cosmically challenge you to go and have some fun NOW!!!

(Have I used the word FUN enough yet?)
