Purnatva
There is a word in sanskrit: Purnatva. Which means fullness or whole, complete & perfect. It is one of the attributes of the Divine we possess. It is also a "love" that is so BIG, it is beyond description. And yet, there is nowhere that it is not.
We catch glimpses of purnatva when we are truly aligned to who we are. It is in this place where truth lives, authentic personal power, potential, and love reside. It is in me. And it is in you too. Unwavering, always present. The question is not: Is it there? The question is: Are you aligned with it? So often the natural ebb and flow of our lives take us away from our center. Life becomes unbalanced. It takes daily effort to align our thoughts and actions with our highest desires. This is why I return again, and again to my mat. To realign. To awaken.
One thing is for sure. The more "awake" we become, the less time we spend away from our center. And our deepest longings and desires are manifested. In this process we lift everybody else up.

The world of shoulds is an illusion!
The more time we spend trying to be who somebody told us to be, the less time we are manifesting our fullest potential.... It's a form of resistance.
Where are you still holding to these downloads? We all have our stories. Often when we let go of the story, the energy (or emotional intensity) deflates.
The right view is that each one of us in this very moment is divine, whole and complete. You can allow space for an unfolding of that self awareness, if you choose. I invite you to become more aware of yourself, the next time you are feeling/thinking from a place of lack (or shoulds). Stop resisting, sit with the emotion. Ask "Is this true?". Then allow there to be a falling away of those parts that are not who you are. The lotus of the heart is a tightly closed bud that will blossom with sweet effort, not agony. The tissue around the bud that prevents it from unfolding is the tissue of "shoulds" - downloaded from somewhere else.My conditioned mind tells me nothing about who I am. Don't try to fix your mind, it's not who you are. Pause, connect to your essence, then bathe the mind in that!

“If peace is really what you want, then you will choose peace. If peace mattered to you more than anything else and if you truly knew yourself to be spirit rather than a little me, you would remain nonreactive and absolutely alert when confronted with challenging people or situations. You would immediately accept the situation and thus become one with it rather than separate yourself from it. Then out of your alertness would come a response. Who you are (consciousness), not who you think you are (a small me), would be responding. It would be powerful and effective and would make no person or situation into an enemy”
