Hello to the energy as YOU. Loving that you,
Christina
Naturally shifting, easing, pressure is relieved, energy is free to flow on. Bearing down and trying hard, we hold things in rigid defense and structures that are too tight to move.
Exhale, soften….and there is space for fresh possibility.
I have the experience that when I’m not in my center my energy is “out there.” Diffuse. Scattered. There is the feeling that it has nothing cohesive or integrous to organize around. I’m blowing in the wind of my thoughts, other’s thoughts and influences, putting out fires and doing things in a reactive mode. I have no sense of my own presence.
When I give my attention to the core of my body, I come into direct contact with an intelligent aliveness. There is a calm truth and wide open connection and receptivity to the moment. I feel myself at my center. And I also feel the presence of a knowing. Or even an okayness with not knowing, regardless of whether or not this moment seems to need a direction, an answer or some kind of guidance.
“Okayness” is at the center. The center of the universe is at the center. It helps me so much to pause and slow down to re-feel that okayness. To re-feel the steady fact of my existence. To sense again that this is where I live.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feeling love for you from the center of it all,
Christina
Y ak yak yak…. In the room of the mind, the TV is always
O n. The incessant noise, explosion of flickering pictures, soap operas, sitcoms, ticker tape “news.” We sit glued
U nder the influence, under the trance. Blink. A Bigger Magic always breaks the spell. Five minutes or fifty years, we always stir, get up, go to
A nother
R oom in the house. The one at the center. The room that is
E mpty. Still. Quiet. Alive.
H ere, we breathe again. Standing fresh, awake in the
E ternal Presence – the Awareness that has always been
R eceiving every moment and
E xperiencing the ecstatic fullness of sweet Nothing.

Here with love, in the center room with you,
Chris
I like simplicity. I feel truth in it, and so alignment with how I feel that life actually works. For me, complication and overwhelm come when I try to take it all in at once. When I try to figure it out, get there, get it done, plan it or know it ALL AT ONCE. ABC gives me a sweet, bite-sized structure for my work and my expressions. It invites me to share in the feast of aliveness with you, one delicious bite at a time.
Truly, sincerely, thank you for being at the table with me!
Love,
Christina

I rreplaceable me. I am
H ere.
A live in the way that only I can be. Life
V iews Itself,
E xperiences Itself as it can only through my unique
A wareness. My affinity for the things I
L ove. The particular curiosities I
W onder about. The
A ffirmation of Life that my own sweet voice of
“Y es!” Brings to the
S inging Presence behind all
B eing.
E xistence isn’t
E verything without me. Or without you.
N othing is
E xtraneous. Anyone or anything is no more or less miraculous.
N ow, as I am, I am
O ne of the indispensable notes of the
U nlimited Melody. We are the Intelligent, Eternal Music.
G orgeous, whole, full and enough in our parts. We are the inextricable
H armonies of the One Song of Light.

So much love and reverence for all of our unique, beautiful voices,

Hey everyone! I love to share with you! I love to be in heart connected conversation about who we REALLY are! That knowing brings such expanded freedom, peace and enjoyment of life. But sometimes writing to you can get me in my head. Prose can trip me up. That’s why it has worked so well for me to have the sweet format of coloring pages. And more recently, I’ve been doing those simple poems that begin with the letters of the coloring page messages.
I was reading Brother David’s Gratitude Journal and in it he described a gratitude game of going through the alphabet, looking around for something to be grateful for that starts with each letter. It occurred to me that Brother David’s alphabet idea is another wonderful, simple vessel for me to share through. Coloring pages, simple poems, and now an alphabet of insights and quick thoughts…! I’m really curious to go through the alphabet at least once! I’ll offer an insight on something that spontaneously occurs to me that begins with the current letter. I’ll post one every Monday for 26 weeks! Thank you for sharing along with me – and for all of the insights that YOU have all shared with me as we’ve gone along!
So much love!
Chris
Here is the first one!!!!!
A is for All or Nothing:
What if all or nothing is another way of saying flight/flight or freeze? All or nothing comes out of a mind afraid of lack. If I perceive that I lack safety, I must manage that danger. And if some part of me identifies food, money, another person or anything else as HOW I can get safety, then I grab it, hurry after it, or shut down and protect myself from the absence of it. All or nothing has nothing to do with inner guidance that is free to move in a world of wellbeing. It has everything to do with the mind’s misunderstanding of life. Life, infinite as it is, IS a vast more-than-enoughness. And so are we. Right here. Right now. As we are. As part of life, wellbeing and enoughness is what we ARE. When we know this, we can stand balanced in the center, listening to natural, inner direction instead of acting on panicked extremes of how to get the wellbeing that is “out there.”
Here’s the latest reminder song!
I Am Not The Thoughts!
Sung to the tune of B.I.N.G.O!
There comes a time when you can see,
It’s all made of think-ing!
Me! I’m not the thoughts!
Me! I am just love!
Me! I am the one Who watches all the think-ing!
And as the one who watches thought,
I see what I am. Oh!
Me! I am the Love!
Me! I am the Life!
Me! I am the Light
That shines behind the think-ing!

Singing and playing with you!
Christina Brittain!
I magining the future, I
T ear myself in a thousand directions of IF.
Re-imagining the past, I
A nchor myself in muddy “truths.”
In either direction, I
L eave myself. Over and over I
L ive in a a
H azy fantasy of fabrication, with no
A wareness of the
P resent and its
P eace. But here, in this moment, all my
E nergy is
N ow. Available.
S imple – without the endless, complex details to
I nvest in.
N ow. Available. Simple. I sit on the
T hrown of presence. Whatever it is that I am is
H ere with this
E xtraordinary
P rivilege of witnessing miraculous movement
R oll through me, as me – this unique
E xpression of Infinite Life.
Seated in this
E xquisite place of seeing, I am truly home, held, in the
N exus of formless and form, love and its celebrations. I
T hrum and pulse and revel in the very aliveness of experience itself.

Thrumming with you, seeing with you, loving with you here in the present moment,

W elcome
H ome to the infinite yes to choose from. The place of

T hat
I s, offering Itself to you according to what you give
P riority to. What gets your attention? What blooms
U nder your loving gaze, or flames under your
T errified misunderstanding?
Y our perspective changes everything. The frame of
A wareness casts each
T hing differently, depending on the
T ype of light we place it in. What if
E verything is
N eutral except for the
T one of mind
I lluminating it? The
O bvious to you is not
N ecessarily obvious to anyone else. If I am
O rienting to the light I wield as a searchlight? Well, the infinite yes is transformed into unending
N o. “No, that’s not it….No, that’s not it…” Positioned as searching I
C reate everything as lost, not found. Missing. Lacking. But holding a flashlight? That is an
O pportunity to light up
M y universe! To reveal what is already
E ver-present and waiting for my discovery! A marvelous tool to see the miraculous variety come to life around me!
S hining my attention
T hrought this lens of wonder, Existence rushes joyfully into my beam,
O rdering Itself into the visible,
L oving every minute of the spotlight, which celebrates what it
I lluminates! Such awe in realizing our ability to
F lood the mystery with light and life. We can rejoice in our
E xperience as these bringers of light.
