Openness (Why it is Crucial to Be Open) - Teal Swan

You came to this life as an extension and expression of source consciousness in the physical dimension. Because of this, it could easily be said that you are a creation or an art piece of God's. But as an extension of god, you are god. So, you are both the creator and the created. And neither creator nor creation is meant to be suppressed. When you live in a state of openness, you are allowing the art piece of you, to be painted across this world. You are not restricting yourself. You are also not restricting Source itself. Because of this, it is by far the more "in alignment" way to be. And it can easily be said that walking the spiritual path, is walking the path of complete openness.

We have a choice at all moments of the day; the choice is to be open or to be closed. This is why one of the most beneficial exercises you can do is to ask yourself throughout the day "how am I being closed right now? How am I constricting myself or letting myself be constricted?" and make the necessary changes in favor of openness based on the answer you receive. A state of openness is the real state of freedom. Everything we do is a creative expression of our inner selves. To be constricted in any way, is to prevent the energy of our being from flowing through our bodies and into our lives. If we are committed to the spiritual path, we must commit ourselves to the state of openness.

“You are the love of your life, you just don’t know it yet.“ Wow Teal...

[nightsky]

This video speaks my heart. As a gay man, I've suppressed myself a lot which makes me feel completely unhappy. But now I'm more open about my sexuality, which makes life easier although there's discrimination around. Thank you, Teal.

[johncox]

This video and Spirituality 2.0 go hand in hand for me. They're both hitting me

Complete openness is total surrender .... just letting go of all wanting and grabbing and just BE with THIS MOMENT right now. Whatever is there IS THERE. Just BE totally with it. NO resisting. No running away. No running off after something else in order to cover up, bury, deny, suppress or run away from my feelings. Just total embracing of the moment - whatever it is - with an "I AM HERE NOW" presence of mind. Or an "I AM WITH YOU NOW" presence of mind.

Long have I thought that being spiritual meant NEVER having any negative feelings or emotions. I was wrong! Being spiritual means being able to FEEL EVERYTHING, no matter what it is. It means being being TOTALLY open in the moment. It means never running away, never putting up an unnatural facade. To be authentic means being totally present in the present moment.

There is one person I have never gotten to truly know in this lifetime. MYSELF. My past actions, feelings, emotions, etc, have largely been driven by living a life chasing after what others have told me I need to chase after. Or doing things they told me I needed to do. Or feeling in a certain because I was told I HAD to feel that certain way.

WHAT NON-SENSE!!!!

I AM JUST AS I AM RIGHT NOW THIS VERY

[rejoyy]

Love the indian dressing style. And love the video. Keep doing this, Teal

[jerrypixar]

I'd like to quote Joel Watson ", your as sick as your secrets"...what a genius

[johannaericaandren]

This video brought me to tears. It explains for me so clearly why I’ve suffered so much these years, why I’ve become like this, why I can’t let anyone in and why I today am suicidal.
Thank you for enlighten me Teal, for making me realize that there’s nothing wrong with me for feeling this way - but that it’s valid.

[haroldpatrick]

There is one absolute gem in this and that is...

"People who fear exposing themselves without exception were raised in environments where there was a heavy atmosphere of shame. It would be impossible to be embarrassed if you are not first ashamed of being yourself. (A) person does not become ashamed of being themselves unless they are exposed to someone who convinces them that they should be" Teal

I have already quoted you and, if you agree, will continue to quote you on this one.
Thank you, love the way you put things.... clear and simple.

[nickackermanchannel]

SUMMARY - Openness (Why it is Crucial to Be Open) - Teal Swan

Being open allows source fully expression through you without restricitons

when you dont follow your emotional guidance system this is painful
openness feels good instead

openness vs. constriction

constrictions
keeping secrets, turning ourselves down to be accepted, doing things we dont want to do, closed minded not being open to new ideas and possiblities, not being honest, not sharing, isolating ourselves, seeing love in finite quantity, not admiting and going after our needs and wants, not expressing our emotions, fiting ourselves into a life dictated by society and much more...

emotions and body suffers from constrictions expecially the lungs and heart

we fear exposure and being ourselves
most people choose to close ourselves down, to be invisible, hide

universe is all inclusive, all one
everything you experience is not yours but everyones

people with great fear of expressing themselves were raised in a heave atmosphere of shame
they are ashamed of being themselves cause they were convinced that they should be

nothing anyone can do to us can cause us the pain that we feel constricting our own being

an arrow can only pierce into something that resists it
if we constrict ourselves we are resitant to what we fear and they can hurt us
if we are open nothing can hurt us, we are like water

to achieve self awareness we need to express ourselves fully
to learn from one another we need to express ourselves

Who decided what was tastefull and what untastefule?
The idea to restrict yourself comes directly from self hate

we have all time during the day the chose to be open or closed
ask yourself: How am I restricting myself or let myself be restricted?
make the necessary changes to be open

to restrict yourself or anyone else means to restrict the flow of source energy through your body

commit to openness in order to live a spiritual life with happiness

Thanks Teal

[mauimike]

Teal your video's help me improve just after one day of watching a couple video's. Even before I saw your videos I knew there was a simpler way then Wayne dyer and other self help book that still has you you feeling ashamed about your negative thoughts. But they opened me up a bit so I can better understand and use what you say in your video's. Thank you namesta.

[YanaGaia]

And again Teal hits the nail on the head for what I knew, but didn't have the words or explanation for. Time to be open...

[discoteque]

This message should be provided to every person at the very moment they come into this life.

[TheCheese]

Everything you say makes complete sense. Every video I watch makes me feel like I'm going back to source and remember what it was like to be untainted by society and living the way I was meant to. Thank You.

[alex-ander-]

The arrow analogy opened me.
THANK YOU TEAL.

[carolm]

This video resonates with me from the beginning to the end. Thank you so much! I really needed to see myself through your words.

[kikiliki]

I was not looking for this. I just came across it and it has embodied everything I have come to awaken to in my life. Thank you mama Teal.
