In this world, there are a lot of reasons why we find ourselves tempted to go into a contracted state of being. A place we want to tuck into for protection. This pulled in, tightened up reaction creates a realm of separation - where we not only feel removed from the love of those around us - but also from the true essence of who we are meant to be.
This ego conditioning limits our ability to love and be loved. When we’re wrapped up so tightly in our fear, we can’t expand into the wholeness and holiness of ourselves.
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about the difference between Contraction & Expansion as it pertains to our human experience. Are we joining relationships & spaces where we have the room to grow and expand? Or are we living in a “closed fist” state of being?
A contracted state of mind, limits our capacity to give or receive love. It can take us out at the knees and leaves us feeling hurt, angry, victimized and damaged. Instead, what if we met ourselves and each other with openness and curiosity, instead of being closed and judgemental?
So, no more “saran-wrapping” ourselves. No more tucking our tails & clenching our fists. Instead, let’s choose to move into the spaces of expansion and Divine Love. It’s time to spread our tail feathers and fully embrace & embody the child of God we really are.
Are you ready to create more expansion in your life?
