Finding Focus

The past days of this new year have seen me longing to break away from all remaining earthly attachments and be free.  I am finding myself more and more in a place of clear and precise focus.  A place where my only interest is me and my connection with Creator.  The other day an image came to me that has helped me to make sense of this desire as we have not in the past been encouraged to focus on ourselves.  We are taught to focus externally and watch what is going on around us.

But……..when leading a horse it is important to look forward and maintain your focus on where you are going.  What happens when you look back at the horse is he will tend to slow or stop.  If you look to the side he will move his focus from where it is going and wonder what it is that you are looking at over there in the distance.   This breaks the momentum.  So…. when I am leading a horse, no matter how strong the desire to look back and check up I stop myself.  I stay focused on where we are going because he can feel my focus.  He knows when I am clear on getting there.  And, he knows when I lack focus, am wondering about him.  If I maintain my focus I lend that focus to him.  I allow him and support him to also maintain his focus so we can all get to where we are going in the most efficient and aligned way with the least distractions.

So……. my new practice is to have my head down and maintain focus on what I want:  the energy I want…..the experience I want…..the connection I want and the reality I choose to be mine.  Nothing else matters.  I trust this is in complete support of all beings.
