For your consideration…….
I just love the messages we are being given this week because I love the positive affirmations and “little tips” we are being given. Today is another one of those. It is a practical tip.
We are being reminded…..actually assured…..that our Guidance is ever-present. We have help available to us 24/7 ready, willing and anxious to be of service.
Whether we are conscious of it or not, we receive signs and messages everyday. How?
Certainly we get messages, advice and Guidance during the dream state. Get The Dream Book and analyze them. Analyzing our dreams is an invaluable tool.
Those of us who meditate daily certainly get the same during meditation. Journaling is an invaluable tool to capture these messages.
But we also get messages, pointers or signs during our “awake” state as well. That is what today’s message is mostly about…..those signs we get each and every day that we may not be aware of. It is those things that grab your attention and/or that give you a feeling in the pit of your stomach. Here are some examples:
-You are thinking of someone and they call.
-You are thinking of someone and so you call them without knowing why but during the conversation you realize it was necessary for you to call them. The reason becomes clear.
-An animal keeps appearing to you. Perhaps on the same road in the same spot, or everywhere you go the same type of animal shows up. Or maybe a type of bird keeps looking in the window at you. Perhaps butterflies or other insects follow you around. Whatever it may be that catches your attention where suddenly you have the thought, “What’s up with all of the ___________?”, there is a message for you. Perhaps, it is a tree or flower that keeps showing up for you to notice. Whatever it is, look it up. See what characteristics they carry, what it symbolizes etc. The book Animal-Speak is a wonderful reference book.
-What about those days where no matter what you do, problems just keep popping up, stopping or delaying you? Ask why. Why are you meant to be delayed? Why do you have to keep doing something over? Why isn’t your email letting you send something? Sometimes we later discover that it was a good thing these things occurred. Sometimes we don’t figure it out. But you can believe that everything is in Divine Timing and Order.
-What about those times where it seems like you just “have” to say something? Perhaps, it is unlike you, but nothing can stop the words.
-Maybe you are tempted on the spur of the moment to do something or give something to someone. You aren’t really sure why but suddenly have the urge to do it. You may or may not ever find out why. But you can be assured that you were being guided to deliver something needed to someone in need. There are no coincidences.
My own spiritual belief was grounded by such an event like the ones described above. When my father passed, my daughters and I were driving home from the hospital. Suddenly in unison we were all drawn to the sky. It was perfect lines of turquoise and orange like a tablet in the sky. In the time that it took us to look down and at each other to speak of its beauty and look back up….literally no more than 5-10 seconds , the sky had turned into “x’s”. No planes or aircraft of any kind, just a sky now filled with “x’s”. We knew at that moment my father was alive, happy and well on the other side. He needed to express his love and assure us all was well…..beyond well….perfect.In reality he gave me the greatest gift he could ever give me buy solidifying my belief system.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
