Picture a butterfly landing on your hand. If you grasp at it, we all know it will flutter away. But if you stay still, open, effortless - it settles naturally.
Our hearts desires work the same way. The more we chase and control, the more life seems to run from us. Whenever we feel stuck, the secret is always to stop grasping towards what we are most desperate to obtain.
In the highest states of consciousness, there’s no hunger, no craving—just peace. And in that peace, everything we once desperately wanted arrives, effortlessly.
Because we are no longer pushing it away with our wanting. What remains is a gentle preference, a quiet knowing. And from this space, effortless manifestation becomes second nature.
Each level of awakening demands sacrifice. The old self must die for the new to emerge. Every past version of you, every role you’ve played, has served its purpose.
And when you evolve, the world you once knew may resist. The pull of the familiar will try to keep you grounded, but in a deep way, there is no ground only the sky, inviting you to soar.
To walk this path, you must surrender, over and over again, until surrender itself becomes freedom. Become grounded in your own being, your own surrender. That’s when life stops being a struggle and becomes a miracle. The only question is: are you ready to open your hand?
Love and Peace,
