Laugh The Seriousness Off! (Ego takes itself to be so important)

Awareness / Healing / Higher vibrations / Mindset / Spiritual surrendering

How important and serious we can take ourselves to be at times!

Today’s message is very clear:

“Smile is a curve that makes a lot of things straight” ~Phyllis Diller

Humor is the antidote to spiritual seriousness, any kind of seriousness for that matter.

It puts us straight into the moment, have you thought about that? When we laugh, we don’t think about anything specific, it’s very liberating.

I invite you to laugh at your problems, all the drama in your life and see how ridiculous it is for just a moment 🙂

Here we are (or, that is how it seems to the ego), in this huge, vast universe with our small mind-made dramas that most of the time only plays out in the mind!

This is a reminder to let go and lighten up. Enjoy life 🙂

Lets laugh at the human pomposity, at our own thought-patterns, the human conditioning, the emotional drama, the inner story-making… laugh it all off! 😀

Laugh at all the seriousness of it all and see how the ego takes itself to be so very, very important!

Shake it off, laugh it off, dance it off, be silly and playful about it! 🙂

Humor is the antidote to any seriousness in life, an invitation to return to simplicity and lightness of life!

And I don’t mean to laugh at someone, but to ourselves and the human silliness in a lighthearted way 😀

It frees you inside.

There’s a funny side of life too, we all need to be reminded of that sometimes don’t we 🙂

Here’s a quote by Anthony de Mello who was a Jesuit priest that I really like, hope it makes you smile:

“I’m going to write a book someday and the title will be ‘I’m an Ass, You’re an Ass’. That’s the most liberating, wonderful thing in the world, when you openly admit you’re an ass. It’s wonderful. When people tell me, “You’re wrong” I say, “What can you expect of an ass?”

~Anthony de Mello

Yep, that’s me laughing with you 😀

You are truly a gift to us all!

I can’t even begin to express how much I have gained internally after my session with you. You have been an instrument of peace in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Something happened within me that I cannot explain

After our session, something happened within me that I cannot explain nor would it even make sense to anyone. There was a part of me that felt my being been taken over by a real peacefulness that I’ve never encountered before. Sounds odd but it’s the truth.

– A.

My self-awareness has soared!

Thanks to your guidance, my self-awareness has soared, allowing me to understand how my state influences the world around me. I am immensely grateful for the positive impact you’ve had on my journey.

This journey with you has been amazing

Words cannot fully express the profound impact of my session with you – it has been nothing short of magical. You helped me remove the blockages that held me back, helped me recognize my true worth, and providing so much insight that has been truly life-changing!

— Sarah K.

Can’t recommend her enough!

Working with Maria was one of the best investments I ever made in myself. I’ve seen immediate shifts in my energy as well as learned to work with my own energy and mind. It has been one of the single most transformational experiences of my life. Can’t recommend her enough!

– Chris, USA

I had a complete turnaround to my situation

I had a complete turnaround to my situation so many thanks for helping me transform something I had lost hope about. It’s a miracle and the outcome could not have turned out better! If you want to see a real shift not just psychological but spiritual shift, then Maria is the lady to see. I am so glad I found you!

– Sophie P

 I am so glad that I reached out to you

Maria, you are truly godsend. I cannot describe how happy I am. I have no idea what you did and how you did, but I am truly grateful to you. My words in this email cannot thank you enough. Today is the first day that I woke up feeling as if I am ready to take on the world. I am so glad that I reached out to you. I am truly grateful to you. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family!

J, USA

More transformational than any other thing that I’ve tried

I highly recommend Maria! I don’t even recognize the person who started working with her a few months ago. Maria clearly sees what is blocking, stopping or limiting you. Working with her has been more transformational than any other thing that I’ve tried. Thank you Maria!

Britt, Marbella, Spain

I have never felt more aligned to my true self

Maria’s awareness of energies and the conditions of the mind are truly impressive. She knows exactly what’s going on. She is so attuned to other peoples’ energy that she just knows where you’re at. After working with her I have never felt more alive and aligned to my true self.

Connecting with you is magical

Maria THANK YOU. Sometimes just by connecting with you even briefly gives me instant clarity, it’s really magical, thank you so much. I trust your guidance so much, I’m just so grateful!

— Val S.

The feeling of peace and freedom is priceless

This feeling of peace and freedom is priceless. Maria is beyond amazing. Had I not experienced it myself, I would probably not believe it. I recommend anyone who is trying hard to be truly free and really start walking down the path of self fulfillment and happiness to book a session with her.

Her unique ability to read your state helped me to breakthrough

I’ve had HUGE shifts in my beliefs. Her undivided attention, presence and unique ability to read your state helped me to breakthrough and release old patterns and replace them with new self-empowering practices that have truly shifted my life. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone. I am forever changed and forever grateful!

Joanna, USA

I’ve never had a conversation like that before

I just wanted to say thank you so much again for our session yesterday, I’ve never had a conversation like that before and it was truly amazing. I could feel weight lifted as we were talking and for the first time my mind did not try to make sense of things, it was all truly felt in the heart space.

Val, Melbourne, Australia

The whole session felt as if it was operating on another level

If you can trust one thing in your life right now, trust Maria. You can trust her with your heart and soul. It’s hard to explain, the whole session felt as if it was operating on another level. I’ve never had that kind of experience before. It just felt so much bigger than I anticipated. I can tell you with absolute honesty and conviction that having a session with Maria is life-changing!

– Lisa, USA

Completely transformed my understanding

Maria guided me to realize that relying solely on my mind (like LOA teaches) wouldn’t lead to the changes I wanted. A profound shift took place within me which completely transformed my understanding and my perspective on life. I am eternally grateful to Maria. 

— Carrie, USA

Definitely worth the investment

Maria showed me how magic can be created by my own Being. It was definitely worth the investment in myself. I’m extremely grateful for my time with her.

- Anna

My life has radically changed

I finally know my worth. I feel so different now, I feel lighter, happier and more self confident. I treasure the time I spend talking with Maria and look forward to my sessions with her. There has been big changes in my life, synchronicities showing up like magic and I’m constantly blown away at the business and opportunities that I’m attracting. My life has radically changed for the better after I met Maria.

— Robin, New York, USA

I have clicked into place with myself

Your guidance empowered me to show up more confidently in the world, it unlocked something within me that had kept me stuck. Now I know what I’m meant to do, and it has been life-changing and I feel I have finally clicked into place with myself. Thank you!!

Now I know what is creating my reality

I’m overflowing with gratitude and joy! Life has changed dramatically for me after our time together. I have truly realized on a fundamental level what is creating my reality and it has given me confidence for the first time in my life to finally be ME, I feel liberated to be my authentic self!

It was more than I could ever hoped for or expected

I feel like a huge weight have been lifted and I have so much more perspective on what I have been struggling with!

Could not more highly recommend

Maria is the real deal. You will sense it the moment you lay eyes on her. She offered much, much more than I’ve derived from other teachers; highly specific and personal recommendations. It is as though I got a crash graduate course from spirit. Could not more highly recommend!

Catherine Rondeau, Westport, Connecticut, USA

Maria is leading people to a new way of being

    I love the quote you start with Maria. Laughing at the dramas in your life helps put them into perspective and make them easier to deal with. Of course it’s not as easy as you think to laugh at something you are caught up in, but it’s worth trying.

  2. Maria Erving

    Glad you liked it Sarah. Awareness reveals the silliness of the mind-made drama very easily if we are open to see it, and when we see, it is easy to smile and even laugh out loud in amusement 🙂

  3. Kaylee

    This is a very timely reminder for me, Maria. After all of the searching and life-purposing, I recently realized that I was taking life waaay too seriously. It’s meant to be enjoyed! How can I be present enjoying a gorgeous sunrise if in the back of my mind I’m worrying about blog posting?

    I decided to get offline a little more and dive into life. I’m having more fun already! =)

    Great article as always Maria 🙂 I’m curious, how do you know the difference between laughing at your ego and not taking it so seriously, vs putting yourself down (e.g. masking the pain by making a joke or “laughing it off”)?

  9. Maria Erving

    Thanks Val, glad to hear you liked it! 😊

    I would say that if it feels lighthearted then you know you’re not masking anything, but if it feels tense, fake or strained, then you know there’s probably something deeper going on that might need to be addressed.

    But of course you can laugh at yourself for your insecurity too for example, and that might feel strained at first, but it ultimately liberates you too, because you know it’s just the ego self that feels insecure, and not the real you.

    The most liberating thing for us human beings is when we can genuinely laugh at ourselves, don’t you agree? 😊

    Self-awareness is the key to knowing whether anything is from the small ego self or not – Here’s a link to some of my articles about that that you might like:

  10. Val

    Ah yes that makes sense, I completely agree! In my case it usually feels very natural and light to poke fun at “me and my dramatic life” lol! Cause it is quite absurd at times 😂 it’s only after I start thinking about how I laughed at this or that, that I feel a bit guilty, but that’s clearly the ego mind 🙂
    Thank you for the article!

  11. Maria Erving

    Yes, and don’t worry, if you ever feel guilt again you can always see it as yet another opportunity to show yourself more compassion for that too! 😊 We’re funny creatures, we human beings! LOL

  13. C May Tx

    This is an amazing post ! Laughing it off isn’t taught to many of us but it is so important

  14. Maria Erving

    I’m so glad you liked it! Yes, the ego can be so serious and rigid! 😄 Once we can just laugh at it there’s a sense of relief, like Life can breathe again.
