Exercise 9: Be Aware
(This is an excerpt from a University Of Metaphysical Sciences course at www.umsonline.org,
please feel free to visit the school website)
With every step, our feet create the earth beneath them. Life creates Life. Because our feet expect the earth, it is there. This is true. Listen to your heartbeat. Our love holds the planet together. It is our spiritual responsibility to create our dream, here on earth. When we can live this understanding with every part of us, we are awake.
For the next three days, when you are walking, try walking with the awareness that your feet create the earth as you walk. If you can, go to the beach, or another natural setting, take your shoes off, and walk around with this conscious awareness. Say out loud, “I am creating my experience. With every step I take, I create the earth under my feet.” Pay close attention to everything you see, hear, smell, and feel during these times. Notice how you are resonating with your environment. Write about your experiences in your journal.
We have been exploring some radical, consciousness expanding, energy shifting truths here in this time together. I have been changed and awakened by this process, and I hope you have as well. When I began to write this course, I thought I would only be sharing information already out there, and summarizing all the wisdom, information, and love from all the wise people teaching about affirmations that I could access. What I found instead was my own link to life, and the experience of myself as one with all that is, and through this understanding, finding my voice, finding truth, in order to actively affirm life. Now we have shared this process, and you can receive the flow of energy I send out with these words, to use for your own awakening, and for helping others in this life process. This is my heart’s desire; to realize fully awakened consciousness, and to live this truth and share it with others. Now that you are exploring your heart’s desire, it is time for you to begin to create your own affirmations in order to align yourself with your truth.
