Power & Grace

I was given these two words during a breath-work session I had a few weeks ago. They described me or at least the exalted form I could be. Power & Grace. Power I felt I understood quite well, and I thought Grace too, but as soon as I started thinking about the word I realise perhaps I didn't. Was I graceful, a gracious host, did I say grace before a meal or did I have the good grace to be polite. Lots of differing definitions. 

Then this morning I was reading Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss and the word Grace came up. She said " Emily had the Grace to recognize guidance" 

It got me thinking again, what is Grace and what does it look like.? I think it looks assured, at peace, generous, accepting, non judgmental and open to all things possible. It doesn't compete for attention, is happy in it's skin, aware of it's own divinity and not black nor white, nor right or wrong.

I think it is a state of bliss and evident in small moments during our lives, moments where, pain, anger, resentment and frustrations disappear. A new baby, the joy of pure love or the state we sometimes get to during meditation. 

But what about the line from the book? " had the grace to recognize guidance" 

What is it to be able to recognize guidance? and how can we do it? You have to get away from your ego and say, I don't know everything and it's ok to let someone else make the decision. I don't need to know why or how. It is both the easiest and the most difficult of tasks to achieve.

Let us all try to have the grace today not just to recognize guidance but to be in that blissful place that Grace brings.
