•   To Change

.».  Opening
        The benefit of this process is you essentially open to changing (your life).  Not just fix “this problem, that problem”.  To change your perceptions to where you want to change your life.  Where your encompassing life is realized as larger than your problems.  The process can help with problems yet when your intention is changing your life this process will be seen as effective.  If your life is not activating at the rate you would like then something has to change.  Yet see how you don’t need to change, you are (exist) to change.

.».  To Practice
» You may like to carry these questions (and your evolving answers) around with you while working through the process (and your life):  
       What does change look like to me?  What would change be like to me?  Deeper in, what would change feel like to me?
       You can’t get back the past and you may have settled yet change is available to you (still).  Same if it’s going really well, change is available then too.
       If you see change as “impossible” that’s one to hone in on.  All the excuses and reasons come forth, but are they true?  If yes then it’s all hopeless?  It’s not hopeless and you are capable.  You may not feel able (currently) and that is the work to be done.  It’s inside you, let it out.  The more you understand the differences of truths, “reasons” and “excuses” the more you will value the effort you make to change and the more value there will be in your efforts to change.  The value is you acknowledging your worth (S4. Worthy).
       Note: For me change would look like living past the pain, past the thoughts and beyond need.  I would disembark from this journey of nervousness and fear living free…  Change to me is less dreaming and more living, both feeling positive and necessary.  Yet the question came forth; am I open to living, putting myself out there, do I see myself as capable?

» What is one simple thing I can change today?
       A simple concept yet we seem to rarely embrace this idea.  The problem is it doesn’t work this way.  It might gain some traction for a day or two then it’s gone.  So how to integrate change into your life?
       + Be open to life, then change comes naturally.
       Learning to open to life is the journey of change.  Including letting go of thinking you need to be perfect for that to happen (your that, your desired situation).  And sometimes realize; that’s all I can do today, and that’s ok.

» You missed an opportunity or acted in a way you no longer want to be, possibly with another (friend, partner, coworker, etc..).
       Now some time later are you regretting or doing the work (have done the work) to become that person who acts in that moment?  Are you sitting in fear (regret) or doing the work to change?  Realize an opportunity (similar, different) will come again, will you have changed something setting yourself up for success or have you stayed in complacency?
       You could look at it from the space of you want something new in your life too.  It’s not coming, are you willing to change something to facilitate this new aspect of your life and who you are?
       Note:  For years I looked at things online I wanted, to the point of it being an addiction with no change, no action happening, just waiting.  I was stuck.  It took change to bring it about.

.».  Expressions
Change:
» Embracing change is the driver beyond pain.
       Driver like mechanism (of) the Universe towards change.
» To change you (likely) are to break it all down.
       In doing so you make mistakes, regret.  You made those mistakes so you can move forward but the regret of making the mistakes (“I could have”) is now holding you back.  This is contrary to the whole point of living.
» The reason for you to be with that (challenge) was not to learn the lesson.
       The lesson is you are not learning the lesson and it’s making you ill, stressed, with problems-challenges.  You have a propensity for problems (problems built into your lifestyle) as you change your propensity switches to peace (S12. Peace).  This is the whole system transformation (The Solace Practice).
       Note:  Realize (if you’d like) that these challenges can transcend lifetimes.
» Some might say “yes I’d like to change my life”.
       Yet the reason behind why they are here (with the problem) is likely because they haven’t been open to changing their life.  A problem comes and they live with it, as it gets worse and affects their daily routine only then do some take action.  Cause and effect kind of lifestyle focused on the problem rather than the gift.  While some don’t hesitate and immediately fix the problem but also miss the gift.  They might be seen as very “proactive” yet (at times) all they are really doing is living a life of problem-fix it-then on to the next problem… without changing internally.
» It takes courage to change your life.
       It’s even harder when it’s going well or even “ok”, there is no driver (pain) beyond You (S11. Your Will) to want to change.  So when there is a problem look at the possibility of focusing on changing your life rather than (only) fixing the problem.  Then seek out support (a process, some other means)…
       Note:  As you open to changing this doesn’t mean your problems will cease.  Some problems are a result of the costs (S5. Cost) of past decisions still unwinding.  As you change more though the problems will become more interesting, and then challenges more than problems.
» Ultimately change is about changing you (who you are, how you are in the world).
       You can start with habits:  No caffeine after 3:PM, sugar snacks only 3 times per week, in bed by 10:PM, etc…  Ultimately what is to change is you (not what you do).  When you make the mistakes but don’t need to also make yourself feel bad then you (The You) are changing.  Internal changes affect your essence, occur on a Universal level.  This is you changing the Universe.
       Note:  See above how we talk about what you do is not the important part but rather changing you.  Part of changing you is how you do what you do.  The how and the what are worldly different with the what being based here and the how including through connection.

Challenges:
» The thought of changing can bring up the anger stored in your system.
       This creates a natural fear of change.  You can see there in your system a built in fear to change.  As you work at changing the anger can surface bringing on uncomfortableness.  Working through this anger is a change as well, perhaps one of the bigger changes to conquer.

.».  Examples
       A friend might say “you just got fired from your job, why are you reading that book about yoga’?  A response (of change) might be I am applying for new jobs and also realized to change my life.  Living this way you start to see the gift in everything (and energy) in this case fired.  That gift at first might feel like (be) the momentum to change, the gift will expand as you are receptive to it (change).

       Change is a misnomer too.  Change almost should not be a word in the process.  It could almost always be used as changing in the context of the Practice.  It’s not “I’ve changed” it’s I’m changing (continuing to change).  There is no end goal for change in the journey of your life.  Possibly something to the effect of “enlightenment” could be seen as such.  When you arrive there you can look back and say “the Practice was wrong” and as soon as you do you will step back out of enlightenment and continue to change or realize you no longer need to.
       Note:  This could be seen as a good segue into proof.  The process is “right” until it’s “wrong”.  And then it’s not wrong it’s simply no longer relevant that aspect of the work to you (until or if it is again).  It could be confusing but the thought of only right/wrong slowly melts away as you change and is replaced by the idea of compassion (S11. The Idea).

.».  Summary
      It’s possible for each of us to realize a potential beyond where we are now… when we (are) open to change.  Let (allow) change be who you are.  Continue to evolve, change, grow all the way through your life (actions).
