Staying on path is easy, just get out of the way and follow the leads the Universe (God, Tao, call it what you want) presents to you. The path of least resistance really shows up when we can step into the present moment and stay aware of where we stand.  The problem? TIME. Yeah time. We have memories that are tied to emotions that are unresolved which entrap us in “time“. How does this happen?

When we feel something or have a response to some stimulus that presents itself to us in the moment, we are faced with a choice. Do I accept this for what it is, not judge it, stay in the present and feel what emotion it evokes and be OK with that, OR, do I feel the emotion this stimulus brings up and say “oh, this sucks I don’t like feeling this at all…” and run away. How do we run away? Well, we move away from the emotion by trying to counter it with the opposite feeling or energy. This makes me feel sad so I’ll thing happy thoughts…OR we think to ourselves, wow that’s too much to handle right now, I’m gonna file this away and deal with it at a later time when I’m stronger, richer, better looking, and maybe 3 feet taller. Guess what folks- tomorrow has its own set of “crap” to deal with. So what happens? We keep building charge in our energy field by entrapping our power in time.
