THE UNFOLDING OF “I Am” By Emily Bracey As I sit within this unfolding experience I ponder the “I am” in me. I used to think “I” was all the things I liked and “I” wasn’t all the things I didn’t like. But as I begin to become conscious of the stillness within me, a huge transformation is taking place. I’m finding many times throughout my days that the voice in my head is silent, which is a blessing in and of itself—I’m experiencing stillness in the middle of noise. Colleagues and family have inquired if something is wrong with me during these experiences because I don’t react to the situations that we are in. When asked, I am shocked because, during those moments of stillness, I am just being in the moment and don’t have any thought or opinion about the topic of discussion, which was why they posed the question. But nothing is wrong—on the contrary, everything is right! The stillness and peace that I’m feeling is so cool and at the same time a little confusing. I’m used to my old story of a fighter, standing up for what I think is right and making sure everyone knows where I stand on subjects. Now, as I embark for this wonderful world of letting go and just being okay with the moments that present themselves, so many insightful things are unfolding. I’m just in awe. Some insights of who I really am are starting to come forward. I’m beginning to feel the energy in my body. I’m beginning to feel closer to others. Just the other day, I was in the store and my goal was to just “be” in the store and to project energy and love as I walked around. I was amazed to see how many people said hello to me and turned to smile at me, and at the register the bagger told the cashier not to forget to run the store coupon through for the soup I was buying. All I did was smile at her. I won a free massage, too, the other day from a wellness event I attended. These are all little things, but to me they’re big because of how I feel about them. I feel lighter and freer. As a part of this transformation and unfolding within me I’ve decided to no longer tell my story of who I am from past experiences. I’ve realized that even though those past experiences have brought me to where I am, they are not the “I am” in me. They are not my being and they’re not important enough at least to the degree that I need to label me as part of them. Also, I’ve stopped blaming, complaining, and justifying situations I’ve created that I’m not pleased with. I’m just going to be in the moment knowing that I created that moment through my own thoughts. If I don’t like the moment, I will change the next moment to something pleasing, but I’m not going to blame, justify, or complain about the moment, otherwise every moment thereafter will be more of the same. The unfolding that I’m experiencing requires continuous consciousness or awareness about what I’m thinking, feeling, and doing. But like anything, the more I do it the easier it becomes. The glimpses I’ve had of the “I am” in me and the power, joy, and love that this “knowing” brings to me make me so happy to be sharing this moment. And the biggest blessing that has come forth is my passion for writing and sharing. I love how I feel when I can reduce resistance in others as well as myself. I’m so joyous, and I hope this finds you in the same state of being. Blessings. Emily Bracey 33, mother of two. Published author in NH Mirror & aspire magazine.
