Grace

Grace as moral strength to perform duty and that duty also is about taking care of yourself. Grace is not just about how you look while doing something, or in how you treat others. The Grace of God/Creator/Source, is also present within you FOR you. Extending that grace towards others is wonderful but it is equally important that you extend it to yourself.

In these harsher times that we are living in, where  the lack of patience, of allowance and or kindness is alarmingly high, having grace for yourself and others can be a potent tool to have more ease in your life.   If you look outside of yourself to receive this kindness and allowance that you have been longing for, chances are your search has not ended successfully. Most likely, the unfruitful hunt was because everyone is doing the same but not looking at the reservoir of wisdom and abundance within. 

The energy that created the world flows through you - Abraham Hicks, ever since I heard that statement from them for the first time, it has been a core uplifting belief for me. It also looks at the scientific fact of how life got created, with a new set of eyes. So if all that is, is present within us in some way, shape or form it is highly likely that the vibration of being non-judgemental is there somewhere within our consciousness, our being, our body. But to experience it, directing one’s focus to its presence is imperative. Energy flows, where focus goes. The more focus is put into this direction, the more amplified will its presence be in one’s life. And if this energy is (metaphorically speaking), rising from the ashes or coming out of hiding, the first thing to break and make itself known is going to be all the layers of resistance you may have had against receiving the same kindness you have been seeking. 

Here is where grace comes into play in two ways, a. Grace to extend this gift towards yourself to look for kindness and allowance within yourself and b. Having the grace to hold space for yourself as you face the more challenging parts of this journey. What kind of grace would you have if you were to assist a loved one, a pet or your child as they learn to recover from a wound or learn something new? And, what would it be like if you had the same kind of grace for yourself through those challenging moments? Could it possibly lead to a more non-judgemental life?
