Deep.

Pleasure.

Ecstatic.

Bliss.

How much can you handle?

In our culture there is a conspiracy against ecstasy.

If you are going to feel happy you better have a really, really, REALLY good reason.

From the moment we are born we are sold the lie, “Who you are is not enough.” The media hypnotizes us with this message, then tells us “But if you buy ‘X’ then you will be OK.” We are given the long list of things that we need to be, do, and have in order to feel happy.

As children we are full of feeling and innate aliveness. We are in touch with the full range of feelings. Those feelings flow effortlessly and naturally. Then we encounter pain. Trauma. Abuse. Stuff happens that causes you to shut down. As children we then learn to disconect from feeling the pain in order to protect our sensitive hearts as a survival mechanism. We learn to numb simply to deal with our reality. We end up living our life this way. Perhaps it was to deal with an alcholic mom. Or sexual abuse. Or being neglected as a child. We stop feeling.

We disconnect from feeling and who we are. As a result we seek all sorts of superficial ways to try to feel and reconnect with a sense of aliveness.

Drama. Alchohol. Rollercoasters. Concerts. Sex. Drugs. Etc.

As adults, we do everything we can to try and get that feeling back.

A feeling of bliss, happiness, and ultimately Oneness.

What do you use to try and feel?

None of these will truly fulfill you.

What you are seeking is Yourself.  What you are seeking is Freedom. Nothing outside will truly fulfill that.

Things in the external world are temporary and no matter how good, the high doesn’t last. Seeking for deep, lasting bliss in the temporary, constantly changing world is a sure recipe for suffering. True deep, pleasureful, ecstatic bliss is an inner experience. Not dependent on the externals, but to be found within.

The more you allow yourself to honor all the feelings that come up for you, the more alive you will become. No feelings last forever, even the painful ones. Even the pain will dissolve. To the degree you shut down from the pain is to the degree you also limit the joy. It’s not that you need to experience pain intentionally. But simply keep your feeling capacity open, honoring all your feelings so that the pain can move through you rather than stay stuck in your heart.

To truly open yourself to feeling bliss—that takes real courage. It goes against the status quo. It is easy to be miserable. But to be happy and positive in a world that can be very challenging at times is courageous.

So:

Feel your feelings fully.

Hold onto none.

Breathe deeply and feel this moment’s grace.

Tune into your body and honor its rhythm and smile.

Be aware of all your senses making love to Now.

Enjoy the elements of nature massaging you.

Accept life as it arises like a flowing stream.

Feel the gratitude of this moment’s gift.

Live in daily amazement that you get to be uniquely you.

And.

Take a big bite out of life.

Lick the plate of Now clean.

Leave nothing on the table of regret.

Bliss is available to you now, for no reason whatsoever.

Yes, right now. Not tomorrow. No more practice. No layaway plan.

Nothing. Else. Needs. To be any different.

Simply CHOOSE.

Open to Deep. Pleasureful. Ecstatic. Bliss for no reason…if you dare.

Now.
