I was deep in meditation and realized that I wasn’t getting many messages. I recognized that I started to reach for messages rather than surrendering to the process and allowing. I paused and asked myself why I was doing this. The answer came quickly. I get a lot of clarity, direction and grounding through the messages I receive from spirit during meditation. 

I cleared my mind and then shortly found myself reaching again.

Why? Why was I doing this?

And, wasn’t there a message in the fact that spirit wasn’t showing up to engage with me?

Yes, there was a message and I heard it loud and clearly. REST. 

Rest is important and something that I have to be mindful of respecting. I don’t do “rest” easily. It is something that I can easily forget about. It is a funny thing, to have to work at resting but it is the truth about me and I can own that. 

I stopped reaching. I stopped trying. I just relaxed into the moment and allowed myself to drift. I realized that my body was holding tension, so I allowed it to relax. Then, I noticed that my jaw was clenched so I relaxed it. As I melted into myself and the floor I realized that I received the most perfect message, as always. Rest.
