Living in God-consciousness gives you eyes that see more colors, a heart that has an awareness of more feelings, and a mind that can be stilled by a deep breath.  This requires practice and patience.  But most of all it requires a relationship with God that is maintained on a regular basis.  Just because my eyes, heart and mind are now opened, does not mean I can handle it on my on.  The heightened sense of being alive is a gift and I must continually turn to the Great Giver to ask how to properly use the gift.  It comes with instruction, daily instruction.  There is an expression that God will not give us more than we can handle.  I always say that God will not give us more than we can handle with his help today.  Meaning that it is a partnership and it is for this day.  When I am worried about yesterday or projecting into the future, I am no longer in this day and in this moment.  Why would God bring me to this moment and this experience to be somewhere else in my mind?  Doesn’t make sense, does it? I think we do that because to be fully present can be overwhelming.  To attune all our senses to the present moment means to be fully in alignment with God. God is amazingly powerful and ever-reaching and we don’t know how to “handle” God so it can be easier for our minds to go off somewhere else.  I need God to experience God and not run.  Good thing God knows exactly how to help me be with Him.  That is the loving gentle God that I know in my heart and all I need to do is call his name.  My prayer for you today is that as you step into those heightened moments you know you are not alone.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
