"What it means to live life is to experience the moment that is passing through you, and then experience the next moment, and then the next. Many different experiences will come in and pass through you... Imagine if you were so fully present during each experience of life that it was touching you to the depth of your being. Every moment would be a stimulating, moving experience because you would be completely open, and life would be flowing right through you." (T.U.S., p. 51-52).
Letting yourself experience your life the way that it is showing up would allow you to live in freedom.
To me this is an art.
I find myself so often trying to figure out how I would like my life to be, instead of focusing on how it actually is.
What I am talking about here is the fact that I am not always aware that I am affected by the energies and experiences that have not made it through. In chapter 6 Michael gives the example of driving down the road. Many things do make it through (do not leave an impression) including the trees, buildings etc. but when you pass a car that reminds you of the car that your ex-boyfriend (who cheated on you) drove suddenly your internal energy changes. That experience does not make it through.
If we want to create a life of Love, Joy, and Peace than we need to free up these blocked energies.
This happens by being aware of what we are experiencing in each moment (the experience of the roommate if you like) and then observing and releasing. Another technique when you notice negative or blocked energy is to ask yourself 'Who am I?' repeatedly.
Consider making 2011 the year that you accept life as it shows up and allow any blockages to be released.
Sweet blessings to you during the New Year!
