what does it mean to live in joy and fearlessly? i'm somewhat subdued and don't like crowds. i know i'm not open all around but sometimes i feel like i should be a mindless monkey running around or i'm not fully open. i mean, is it a sign of blocks if you're just not that social with every muggle around and cheery? what does it look like to be fearless and flowing?
I'm trying to accept that all the nonverbal communication that occurs between me and another is real. Many times we do speak telepathically, if you will, and I become much more comfortable when I recognize this as legitamite communication. Spoken words are useful but not always necessary. I try to trust that I've been "heard". I try to move forward as though I "heard" the actual message sent from another.
I find accepting such communication refreshing and effective.
Might sound weird. It simple everyday stuff though. Like communication with a manager. Mgr may not tell you directly that he/she would like to see you accomplish a certain task. You "hear" mgr's "telepathic" request and answer (in thought) 'i'm really not up to it and it's not my area and besides, you made no direct request.' Mgr heard your telepathy too. If you accept that this communication literally took place, you can actually reconsider, return to mgr with a kind awareness and offer to do the task.
This same type of thing can happen when a friend is feeling depressed. No spoken words. You recognize the cause through telepathy and offer love and support telepathically. You both can accept this as legitmate communication.
A negative trap we can get into is "well you never said that! And you need to say that out loud!". The truth is, we heard it without words, but we decided to reject it's validity as "real" communication.
This theory of mine comes about from lots of anxiety I have over not speaking my mind. It may appear as a cop out. If it appears that way, I ask that you try it. Try the accepting part of it. Try to proceed through relationships believing what you heard telepathically is just as real as speach. I would tend to berate myself for things not communicated and for speach not becoming of my true thoughts. I am learning to observe, in a crowd, how much communication truly does occur.
