Enlightenment can be easy

A theme that continues to come up on Sedona Retreats is the idea that you can allow the path to serenity to be easy. We all have a tendency to want to make it complicated. During a session with a client, I asked, "Could you allow how you discover what you are looking for to be easy?" She was struck by this simple question; it seemed to really penetrate her. It surprised me too. I thought this is the essence of what gets in the way of clients crossing from an intellectual spirituality to a knowing. They aren't aware that there is a thought inside them that knows finding serenity is easy!

Let me write Close Betting Review that again! There is a thought inside you that knows it's simple! That's what I call a "default thought". How do you access positive default thoughts?

How do you give them life? Two ways: one, have faith they are inside you; and two, quiet your negative thoughts. Just allow them to float by and without you even trying those powerful empowering default thoughts will rise up in you. They are the default and will lead to incredible beautiful feelings. Remember you will always have a thought before you have a feeling. For me I had to be a student of history. All the enlightened people from the beginning of time consistently say two things: "Go within" and "It was much simpler that I thought." So, if they continue to say the same thing, maybe there is to something to it! For me this created faith. Or it sparked me to take a leap of faith and experiment.
