Living a Desire Based Life

I recommend a life based on desire. But, how do we know what we want? How do we get to know ourselves?To get to know your desires, you tap into your source. Get quiet, wait, and see what you desire. Don’t put your attention on your mind or your emotions. Just wait. And, some desire will pop up.Try it now, ask yourself: What’s one thing you’d like to get out of today?It’s not a thought, not a should, not a reaction to the emotional body. It comes from your source. Get quiet, and wait for a desire to pop up. This is the best way to tap into who you are.You might be thinking that you don’t know. But, you can actually tap into what you desire. Just be patient, you can always find a desire somehow/someway. Acknowledging desire goes against everything we’ve been taught, particularly for the feminine. But, my recommendation is to honor and recognize your desires. It's an unfolding and opening process to acknowledge them.Here is a great exercise for acknowledging desires: Sit down and start writing them down. I desire… I desire… I desire… Or, have a friend do desire pulling with you. Either way, do it for 20 full minutes. Have them ask “What do you desire?” over and over and each time just say the first thing that pops into your head. Get really free with it, like nobody is watching or listening. Don’t monitor it. It could be a donut or a coffee, but the farther you get into the feel of it, the more deeper things will come up. And, you’ll feel yourself connecting with your deeper desires.   For instance, you can play with material outcomes. I desire a new outfit.  I desire a new car. I’d like a million dollars. But, in Inquiry Method, I’d also ask follow-up questions about what it would mean to you or what it would feel like. That’s where you’ll start to feel the connection to your desires.And then you can start to recognize and honor them - that you want to feel them, that you want to experience them. On the other hand, you may find yourself starting to think you can’t have what you desire. That’s ok, too. Once it’s out there, then you can start to work with it. And, it’s amazing, the more you start to bring them out, the more they start happening. Your desire starts to be a compass point. And as you stay present with it, the desires start growing around you. Just by putting your attention on it. It starts to get you out of the cage. It’s not necessarily to the end of dissatisfaction, but more to a recognition of what is really true for you - a recognition of what you’d like to feel, or what experience you’d like to have.
