Games to play ... to find the games we play

One of my favorites childhood games was hide and go seek.

As I explore different ways of contemplation and recognizing ones beliefs, I find there are different games that come into play ... allowing us to be 'found'.

Fun, playful games that bring awareness throughout the day ... once you chose to play.

Look:
a. Where can you not make a decision? What conflicting beliefs grab you and hold you down, making you spin as you find yourself pulled in opposite directions.

b. Where is it that you need? Where is it that there is never enough? What is the feeling, story and belief underneath the need that you keep creating, the lack?

c. Where in your body do you feel discomfort? What is the quality of the contraction, the belief, the story that brings this feeling about? Pay attention to it and recognize the feeling so you can recognize it every time it surfaces. See where it appears in multiple areas of ones life allowing one to see it is not the person, event or situation, but the belief within oneself that creates the feeling, the discomfort.

d. Look at every decision and action you make. Where does it come from? A place of truth, expression or a place of need, of wanting.

e. Where, what and who do you avoid? What is the belief and feeling behind the avoidance?

f. Recognize a reaction, a feeling one has attached to a situation, now turn it around in your mind creating a different feeling and/or reaction. Pretty soon, the belief is no longer solid and one can see neither thought or feeling has any truth.

g. Listen to what comes out of your mouth or written on paper. What is the opinion, and/or judgement that you are communicating. Every word is a message to yourself about your own belief systems. Stop and look at each sentence and question its truth.

h. Look and see how you change your beliefs and thoughts, how the people and events in your life start to take on a different appearance. See the change. Not only does it become a gift for yourself but to everyone around you.

The world is ones playground for awareness....every moment you have the opportunity to see what will bring you closer to your truth..

Have fun and PLAY.
