What if the process of life is about unfolding? About opening up more and more? And if your first reaction is "It's not always safe to be open." or something similar, I would ask you to follow that reaction back to it's root.
Reactions are rooted in belief. How I perceive my environment is a result of my beliefs. Beliefs can be so ingrained that they seem like facts or simply the way things are. Especially when we all believe the same thing.
Back to unfolding. Unfolding, as with this fern, is a natural part of growth. As this fern shoot matures it opens wider and wider to take in all the benefits of the environment.
Now what if this fern shoot was scared to open? It would impair the function of the fern. What if all the fern shoots were scared to open? The fern would be stunted and be limited in it's capacity to live.
So how do beliefs and perceptions stunt our growth as people? How does fear of opening impair our full capacity to experience life?
Become aware of the root beliefs and be willing to choose a different belief. Identify habits and actions in line with this belief and practice life from there. Be willing to open up wider and wider to receive the abundance and wisdom in and all around us. Grow...
