Sometimes, no matter what we do or want in life the universe seems to tell us to go in a different direction. Often it is somewhere we have already decided to go or be or do but have put it off for different reasons or self limiting beliefs.
Frequently these signs are tiny little whispers which, unless we are paying attention and being mindful, are easy to miss. They could be a gentle feeling within or a series of small external happenings which seem to be occurring regularly. Sometimes, it is like it is really important that we acknowledge a particular message and the universe will present us with it over and over again until we start paying attention.
It can feel like no matter what we try things keep moving us along a certain path, like a security guard at a concert when we try to deviate or duck off to the side to get a better look at what is going on back stage etc.
This type of guiding usually happens over a length of time so it feels gentle and without urgency. However, sometimes it’s like the universe has given up waiting for the penny to drop for us and is contemplating picking up a lump of wood to knock us over the head and really get our attention because the optimum time for it all is fast approaching.
First we are sent a whisper, a gentle hint to help us work it out for ourselves. If we don’t notice the whisper a problem arises that will offer us the learning instead. If we still don’t get it then we are confronted with a crisis which will hopefully make us stand up and take notice that we are straying too far from our intended life path. When all else fails a disaster occurs which will be impossible to ignore and must be dealt with so the learning can occur.
By living mindfully and being aware of what is going on around us, as well as how our own bodies are behaving, we can often pick up on these guides at the whisper or problem before it gets to the latter stages.
~ Be mindful. Take time to listen to what is going on in your life; to what your life is saying to you. It speaks to you all the time, guiding you in the direction you were born for. Be at one with it.
Enjoy
