Releasing Limits: How to Let Go of Lack and Embrace Bliss
Have you ever noticed that you often feel stressed or anxious about the future? Perhaps it feels like there’s never enough—whether it’s time, money, or love. This feeling of “lack” can create tension in our minds, hearts, and even bodies. But what if I told you that this tension isn’t necessary? In fact, it’s something we create ourselves when we hold onto limiting beliefs about what’s possible for us.
Let’s explore how to release those limits and discover a life filled with peace, joy, and abundance.
The Power of Relaxing Your Beliefs
Many of us think of relaxation as something we do with our bodies—like lying down or taking deep breaths. But what if I told you that the most important kind of relaxation happens in the mind?
You don’t need to be sitting on a beach or doing yoga to feel at peace. Instead, start by relaxing your ideas, particularly the ones that don’t serve you anymore. These might be beliefs like, “I’m not good enough,” or “There’s never enough for me,” or “Life is always a struggle.” These ideas are often rooted in a sense of lack—the belief that something important is missing in your life.
But here’s the truth: lack is an illusion. When you learn to relax the idea that you are missing anything at all, you start to see the abundance that has always been around you.
Shifting Focus to Abundance
The moment you let go of limiting beliefs about lack, you open yourself to a whole new experience. You begin to notice that the universe is full of opportunities, support, and love. You shift your focus away from protecting yourself from imagined dangers and future problems. You stop worrying about what might happen next week or next year. Instead, you start living in the present moment.
It’s like tuning into a new radio station—one that broadcasts only peace, joy, and abundance. This shift is what spiritual teachers often call “Bliss.”
Bliss can show up in many ways. Sometimes it feels like a deep, peaceful calm. Other times, it’s a high, energetic excitement. No matter what form it takes, you know Bliss when you feel it because it’s effortless. You’re no longer trying to control everything; instead, you’re flowing with the natural rhythm of life.
Trusting in the Flow of Life
When you surrender the idea that harm can come to you from lack, trust becomes your natural state. You stop bracing yourself for bad things to happen. This doesn’t mean that life will always be perfect or that challenges won’t come. But when you’re aligned with Bliss and abundance, you know that you can handle whatever comes your way.
The natural state of creation—of the universe—is Bliss. In this state, there’s no tension, no anxiety, and no fear because there’s no lack. When we align ourselves with this universal truth, we experience life differently. We see that life isn’t something to be feared or controlled but something to be enjoyed and experienced with an open heart.
Relaxing Into Bliss
So, how do you start to release the limits and embrace this Blissful state? Here’s a simple but powerful practice: relax for 2 to 5 seconds.
In those few moments, give up your right to hold onto something that doesn’t exist—your fears, worries, and the projection of lack. As soon as you do this, tension disappears, and you become more flexible and open. Life starts to flow more easily, and you feel both stable and ready for change.
It’s like tuning into a deeper wisdom, one that knows that everything you need is already here. The more you practice this relaxation, the more naturally you’ll align with the abundance and Bliss that’s always available to you.
Quote:
“True abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.”
— Wayne Dyer
Bible Reference:
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?”
