Taking Action ∞Quan Yin
“It is I, Quan Yin.
When you are considering taking a certain action, please examine your intentions for that action. Seek to get to the bottom of why you want to take a particular action before you take it.
When you are in the flow, you do not consider taking an action, because when you are in the flow you find yourself taking an action. There is no thought that precedes it. There is no wondering about whether it is appropriate or whether it will result in you getting what you want.
Many of you are taking your actions from a place of fear or a sense of obligation, and there are so many actions that you can take. So why not at least understand what is at the root of why you want to take a particular action? Perhaps if you get in touch with the emotional cause of your desire to take a particular action, you can recognize that the emotion itself is also going to be the result of that action.
So while you may be taking an action because you don’t want to feel a particular emotion, I think you will find that the action itself only leads to more of that same emotion. So it wouldn’t it make sense then to access the emotion first and to decide whether it is an emotion that you would like to solidify with action?
If the emotion itself is excitement or joy, then of course you want to take that action. And of course the only consideration that you would make in that scenario is whether one action or another would be more joyous for you to take. It is beautiful to behold you taking actions from a joyous state of being.
I am Quan Yin, and I hold you in my heart.”
