Allowing means, how much of who I really am, I'm allowing Abraham Hicks

[Guest guest]

" Allowing " means, how much of who I really am, I'm allowing -- by my

choice of thought -- to be present in this moment. When you're

ornery, you're pinching some of it off. That's why you feel ornery.

When you're allowing who you really are to flow, you feel good. You

feel as we feel: You feel clear; you feel sure; you feel invincible;

you feel powerful; you feel eager; you feel adventurous; you feel

kind; you feel willing; you feel compassionate; you feel

understanding -- you feel like giving others the benefit of the

doubt.

When you're edgy, when you're feeling a little vulnerable, or

defensive; when you're feeling guilty or blameful, when you're

feeling fearful -- these feelings are indications that you're

pinching off who you are. And it's no wonder you feel bad.

Instead of saying, I think I feel bad because you said such and such

to me, or because outside circumstances have happened in this way. We

would like you to stop for a moment and say, Oh wait a minute, I feel

bad for one reason only: I feel bad because I'm not allowing who I

really am to flow. And this is what it feels like when I pinch that

off.
