3 Ways to Open Up To Life
Sometimes, our initial reaction to get away from the noise and chaos in our daily lives, especially from those we can’t control, is to simply shut ourselves off. We use it as a self defense mechanism to escape the possibility of being hurt. Closing ourselves down because of our fear of experiencing pain can lead us to miss a lot of opportunities in life. When we let this happen, we’re not helping ourselves to deal with the problems and heal the inner wounds. Opening up to life is a slow process, yet we have to allow ourselves be open to learning, to accept things without judging others and most of all, let ourselves be happier regardless of what comes our way. By doing this, we will be able to appreciate life’s daily wonders.
Learn to accept more and judge less
Our tendency to judge other people seems natural, but by doing so, we’re preventing ourselves in discovering the wonderful things about them. Be aware if you notice that you are judging people based on stereotypes. Pause, strive to understand and accept, then learn to love and let go of the expectations of the people around you. Accept and see people as they are. It doesn’t mean you can’t change things, instead, you don’t get upset, irritated and frustrated if things are not what you’d like it to be, and by accepting, you are relieving your suffering.
Be aware of fear and defense mechanisms
There are several defense mechanisms that people develop against painful experiences. They vary and oftentimes they are instinctive, thus powerful. Learn to recognize them. Nudge yourself when you notice you’re doing or not doing certain things to encourage openness. Ask why you hurt people and examine the reasons why you are shutting people or experiences out.
Fear triggers our defense mechanisms. If we guard our fears by knowing how to address them and shed light to their cause, we free ourselves to open up to new things.
Be less in control
Trying to control everything is impossible. Just imagine if we let go of that control, the possibilities open up, walls break down and we’re left with freedom to explore. Walk with open hands, a simple practice to show you are ready to accept the world as it is.
Opening up your life takes some reflection. This time for reflection is a good way to confront why we are closing ourselves to what life has to offer. Most of the time, it is us who unconsciously imposes the limitations in our lives. Understanding your own value and potentials can help you grow into a happier individual.
Spiritual retreats are great opportunities to have this time of reflection. By having the chance to recuperate, we can evaluate our motivations and fears and understand why we are not opening to life.

The Moon is Void of Course today (February 4) at 6:14 PM (Eastern) until February 5 at 4:46 AM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Aries.
The Moon is Void of Course today (February 4) at 6:14 PM (Eastern) until February 5 at 4:46 AM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Aries. Don’t make any important decisions while the Moon is Void of Course. For a deeper explanation of Moon Void of Course Click Here.
When the Moon is in Aries, it can be a very emotional time. You will feel a lot of enthusiasm and you can feel a real urge to do new things. This is a good time to think about new projects, renovations, etc., just wait until the Moon has moved out of Void of Course to make any final decisions. It’s possible for you to be more impulsive, but also very independent.
The Aries moon deeply affects the subconscious, so this is a very good time to go within. A good time to meditate, do yoga, anything that makes you feel more connected to the higher part of yourself. Aries also affects the workplace, so it is a good time to think about future projects, just don’t make final decisions. You might also find yourself tempted to make rash decisions during this time, so be on the look-out for that. Aries also stimulates the metabolism, so it’s a very good time to do physical exercise, just be careful to not over-do. If you are feeling frustration during this time, just take some deep breaths and know that this too shall pass!
And always remember, Astrology and other tools are simply that – tools. It’s good information to have, but it does not mean that this is the determining factor or controlling your life. We all have free will in all the choices that we make. I like to look at it as good information that can be transcended.

When the Moon is in Pisces, it is an incredible time for deep spirituality, deep emotions and deep intuition. You will feel very sensitive during this time and it’s important to not allow those emotions and sensitivities to tip into despair, as you can utilize this time to your advantage by going within.
By doing so, you can receive incredible insights as the past and present seem to merge together. Your imagination and dreams will be very strong during this time. If you find yourself leaning towards negative thoughts during this time, stay away from alcohol or drugs, as this time fuels the energy of addiction. On the other hand, it can be an incredibly creative time, especially for poetry, music, painting, etc. If you do work or activities that require concentration, be extra careful. The risk of fungal diseases is higher now; avoid surgery of the feet. This is one of the most mystical times – so take good advantage of that.
