Any questions? We all know the saying, but so few actualize it. Living with the capacity to allow is the surest way to arrive in the here now moment. To learn the art of ‘allowing’ will take practice… are you willing to practice? If yes, get to it now, if not, well, stop complaining, that will at least take you one step closer to ‘allowing’!
