The gifts of faith, intuition & signs from above.

 

I have to admit…this has been a cycle of inner-challenge for me.  Have you ever found your usual grounded-self feeling a little off-balance?  While most everything in my life has been going according to wishes…even those wishes moving into high-gear can be a bit scary.  Have you ever felt that way?

 

In the last many months I’ve been moving along at a fabulous pace within my creativity.  It was as if my mind was being flooded with ideas and it was exhilarating to be in such a flow.  But all of a sudden I hit a few stumbling blocks!  Were they due to exterior occurrences? No – not completely………..and a large part of it was my own darn “little voice of doubt” coming out to taunt and haunt me.

 

Okay – yes there were also some outer-influences…oh boy…(or should I say “oh girls”)………you know how it is………you opt to explode with excitement………..and out of nowhere someone comes along with a giant-sized needle to burst that colourful balloon-of-joy you were holding on a string!  But while I somehow took it all in stride as best possible (and yes…I admit…I caught myself venting my annoyance at these newly-surfaced skeptics wanting to distract my joy…expressing upset to my husband and a few close peeps) – but aside from all that, a stronger force of negativity was nagging at my spirit. (Sigh…realization that I’m only human.)

 

The bigger culprit to my off-balanced vibe was really of my own doing – it was my own ego tapping me on the shoulder taunting me with that wagging-finger of “do you really think this is a good idea?” – whispering to me the script of doubt.  (And yet another sigh…and more realization that I’m only human.)

 

Part of the reason was that I was embarking on a major writing-project – something out of my usual themes & topics…one that wasn’t completely planned but that emerged out of complete inspiration, both within my soul and from global reasons-of-purpose.

 

So why the fears and hesitation to keep moving forward with this writing-project?

 

Because it meant I would be revealing, sharing, disclosing some of the saddest, most devastating-to-the-spirit experiences of my life and that of my family’s.  Moments of powerlessness and racism. But I had 2 stories to tell – and not every moment of them was disheartening…in fact there was also a rare beauty in amongst the devastations of our journey from a once-apartheid nation…the rare beauty drawn from the strength, love & devotion of family………my family.

 

Creating the stories…….putting them to paper……..that was actually the easier part.

 

The difficulty? Finding the courage to finally put it “out there” – that was the hard part.

 

Sharing all the layers of our soul is not always easy.  Leaving one’s heart on one’s sleeve can also induce fears that others will rip that heart off your sleeve in one malicious instant.  Other topics I approach have never been this closely guarded to my heart…to my soul.

 

(I wonder how many out there who criticize the efforts of another really fathom how brave we can be when we dare to share?)

 

So how did I gather the strength to shift out of my discomfort-zone and breathe into action again?

 

Well – first I took to my meditative rituals which always seem to ground me again:

 

  • Step one is to find some quiet time – where I just stare out into the nature-escape in my backyard.  Blessed to live backing onto a forest – when I’m in this mood – I just stare out into the peaceful view of the trees.  And at this time of year – it is all dusted in snow.

 

  • Step two is doing an angel-card reading…I have around twenty-five+ decks…my favourites being the several by Doreen Virtue & my treasured three by Colette Baron-Reid – ……and always infused with my readings? Meditative or gentle music playing in the background (for years my go-to oracle-reading soundtrack has been Journey Through the Chakras by Colette Baron-Reid – her voice will lull you into an open-heart of serenity…believe me.)

 

  • Step three is to do some gentle stretches and focus on my breathing.  Not necessarily a full-on workout………just gentle easing of the muscles and the mind. Re-centering my faith.

 

Here is what unfolded during my personal 3-Step Pause-Process that got me back on cue:

 

  • As I sat staring out at the forest – a deer came quietly walking out from behind the trees, standing in the snow in our yard…….and then she saw me………the two of us just staring at each other…….it was amazing, as this relaxed gentleness from her being seemed to melt over my worries.  And I recalled that part of her animal-spirit message is of trusting intuition…gut instinct. To be gentle with oneself.

 

  • During my angel-card time….one by one…all the right cues fell onto the table….each indicating that faith was of the essence…faith in me…faith in the universe.

 

  • And while I stretched………a voice came to me……..dare I share?  It seems without hesitation…….EVERY single time I am teetering on a new creative journey or life-challenge…….I hear the words “what would courage have me do.”

 

For those of you smiling right now – it’s probably because you recognize this phrase, right?

 

In fact that phrase comes from the very leader-of-women’s self-empowerment who is at the helm of this magazine……Ms. Crystal Andrus.

 

I can’t tell you how many times this nugget-of-wisdom has drifted through my mind at exactly the right moment……..and always in her lucid, loving powerful voice. And when I hear it…I smile to myself, for I should know better……right?

 

But we’re all human…..only human.  Doubt can overwhelm even the most risk-taking individual.  And even those that guide others can benefit from a boost of the soul.

 

So………….What would courage have me do?  For me, the golden phrase of motivation, perseverance…of heartfelt guidance and belief – in me…in my purpose.

 

Sure – I could’ve tried to drum up my own version of this wisdom-phrase…but what for? It is truly perfect in the essence of its message……….no adaptations needed.

 

Signs from Above…….intuitive wisdom……..mantras of gold……..Leaps of Faith.

 

They are always within reach…….if you keep your eyes and spirit open to them.  Sometimes you need to step away from the hub-bub going on inside your head and life…but when you pause – you’ll be amazed at how doubts can be washed away in the most incredible ways.

Aine

 

Celtic Faery-Goddess, Aine, has one simple message for you.  When you feel a sense of doubt build up inside of you, pause – regroup…and then source out the strength to take that leap of faith.  Nothing rich and amazing can occur without taking those first steps and at the core is that foundation of faith she wants you to embrace fully.
