Day 722 (25 of 30) - The Living Word: Creator, Love and Grace

I recently shared that some words I was redefining and living for myself were Creator, Love, and Grace. Someone asked me to expand on how I live those words practically so I decided a blog would be the best place to do so.

I'll start with Grace - this is a word that came up in a reading I recorded recently for my YouTube Channel - the point of Grace specifically in relation to a Swan and the feminine body. So for me, specifically at the moment, the word as a practical expression is in relation to my physical body. 

As a Swan, I see them so graceful - gliding on water with such precision and elegance. There is such stillness yet fullness to them. Their necks are long and their movements so precise. 

The actress Robin Wright is also another example of someone whose physical is the embodiment of Grace, as I see her - with her long neck and such a straight/upright, poised posture, she carries such length throughout her body, which creates what looks like spaciousness. Her movements are also slower than most, where there is again that precision in the movements she makes, like each movement is thoughtful/with full awareness, which is like being fully present in the moment as her whole body.,

So for me, Grace as given in these examples, is how I am currently living/applying the word within/as my physical. Slowing down in my movements, elongating my body,, and being more precise with how I move my body as a whole - practicing being more still within to be more like gliding and elegant, being with my breath as my body as the present moment to create spaciousness and slowness within me.

For the world Love - there are two dimensions/definitions of the word I am currently working with. 

One definition/dimension is simply what the definition is, "what is pleasing" - and for me, I am deciding that Life is Pleasing and so Loving Life, finding pleasure in Life and to ensure I am living that in each moment - open, embracing, welcoming and loving/being pleased with the life that is here because I do see it as a gift when we are honoring it, working with it, expressing our utmost in harmony with nature and the animals. That is the definition/awareness I am instilling within/as myself as to how I engage with each moment and all that it encompasses. 

From my perspective, every moment, every circumstance, every outflow, every interaction, and every breath is pleasurable because I am alive. I am life - I get to live and express and explore my utmost expression in/as this Life. It is a joy to be here, and I am making it my absolute best/utmost. This is pleasing to me - this is how I live the word Love - to be pleased in every moment. 

The 2nd definition/dimension for me is about unconditionality. How do we unconditionally live - which, for me, is to love. How do I love unconditionally? How do I express unconditionally? How do I trust unconditionally? How do I live unconditionally? 

That to me is about seeing, realizing, understanding, and embodying the knowledge that I am the source/cause/origin of (my) Life, and so how do I want to engage/relate and support (my) Life? Unconditionally, of course. 

So a practical example would be me being the same in every moment - no matter what is going on around me or "outside" of me - I am the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I do not change just because the conditions change. I am here, and so I am unconditionally here as Me, as Who I Am, as Life. 

Also, ensuring I am giving myself as the expression of love as I define it to my children no matter how they are behaving - they are seeing the same being, the loving, caring, compassionate, understanding, and forgiving being that is unconditionally here for them in all ways. And being a Living Example of how to live, how to direct oneself, how to approach/engage with Life.

And then moving on to the final point, Creator - how am I living this word practically?

For me, this is, again, multi-dimensional. 

The first point is simply standing within/as the realization that I am the Creator - the source/cause/origin of all that is here, and so what does it mean to stand as Creator? For me, it's about standing responsible for all as me. So, seeing what I see as me, however I am reacting or relating to anything outside of me is actually how I am reacting/relating to myself. I am always, in all ways only ever interacting/engaging/coming face to face with me as all life. 

There is also an innocence point here where, as a Creator, your creation is always innocent because YOU are the one that brought it into being/existence. So when creating or standing as Creator, there should never be any blame or any type of "it/they should be different" because that would imply one is not standing responsible as that which created everything. Expecting your Creation to recreate itself without you seeing, realizing, and understanding how you created it in the first place is impossible. And to expect your creation to recreate itself before you have recreated yourself to be the best possible creator for all/as life is also impossible. 

This is why I see you don't need others to change because when you change, others change, because others are YOU. 

Also in terms of the creative process - how to Create, how to be a creator that creates, it's like allowing it to be a process, a learning process of how to work WITH Life as the parts of it that you can't predict or anticipate but then being able to stand in response/responsible to be able to keep moving, making decisions in a moment, not getting caught up or entangled in any one part but going with the flow and allowing yourself to express with what is here. So when creating a blog, or a video, or a garden bed or some art project, or organizing a gathering - simply let it be a process that is fun, engaging, and joyful and an outpouring of who you are as life in each moment. 

Grateful for the opportunity to expand on these.
