Trusting Spirit

I started this blog on November 23, 2022 and this is what I wrote:

I’ve learned to trust Spirit.  She has guided me to stay home this winter and embrace the cold.  At first I was like wtf??  Are you sure?  Can’t be.  I usually escape the winter.  Escape means to break free.  Interesting… as if the winter was to blame for my struggles.  Why did I feel the need to break free?  This is a recent need in the past 5 years.  I used to love winters.  The cold and dark has answers, my friends.  Deep and delicious answers and I can’t wait to uncover them. 

Well, it is now mid-January and shew!  I have gone pretty deep.  There was no escaping.  I will detail in my next couple of blogs titled "Diving into your Shadow" and "The Fourth Dimension"

True freedom is the ability to feel peace no matter what physical location you’re in.  Ask yourself if you physically need to be somewhere else to find peace or yourself, are you really going deep?  This Earth is just a minor pit stop on our soul’s journey. It really shouldn’t matter where you physically reside in this snap shop of eternity.  Ask yourself what you’re running from.

You may ask who is Spirit?  One definition is a supernatural being or essence.  I refer to her as my spirit guides, ancestors, higher self, angels, Gods/Goddesses, Source, faeries, dragons and any other magical being guiding my journey. 

How do I communicate with Spirit?  In the beginning communication mostly came from sitting in silence through meditation.  Many times I would feel an energy near me and I will ask who it is and what the message is.  This would come through as a vision or message.  More recently I am getting a clear knowing of a message.  Words will pop into my conscious space that are so clear.  There are even times I will have a conversation with myself.  There are times where I may feel anxiety about a situation or decision.  I will allow myself to sit with those emotions and observe and evaluate them.  And most of the time out of the blue I will get a resounding "Fuck Yes" or "Fuck No"!  I will even say it out loud and there is my answer.  This happens more quickly these days.  I will give a situation or question to Spirit and trust I will be guided to my path.  And guess what?  I never revisit that situation or question again.  I used to.  I used to revisit and reanalyze my decisions.  The amount of energy I wasted on this!

We all have Spirit and they are here to guide us on our journey.  You can ask them for help at any time.  You may hear people say they will put a situation/issue/decision out into the Universe.  It's the same thing.  I used to say this, but now I have a strong bond and relationship with Spirit.  I see them and communicate with them regularly. 

Other situations where Spirit has guided me:

• Make art - I was guided in 2020 to make art and am still guided to continue making art even when I question it

• Become a Reiki and sound healing practitioner

• Starting a business/Stopping a business

• Ending relationships

• Places to travel

• Places to live (exact home)

• Walk away from a passion

• Stay at my corporate job

• Grow my hair long

• Social media sabbaticals

• Clear answers on paths

• Being guided to help others during their “caterpillar” stage

• Other messages that pertain to worldly or even other-worldly things - for example, I once received the message "wind is whispers from the Universe" and now I love wind.  I just listen and I gain more clarity and feel my vibration rising when the wind howls!

When you're struggling with a situation take some time and sit in silence, connect to Nature, and ask for help.  Ask for answers.  Remember the answer may not come right away.  It may come across as a message you see on tv or in a song or in a phrase you read.  You will experience synchronicities where you are able to connect happenings that seem random, but really aren't.  Pay attention to those.  Pay attention to those goosebumps you get.  That is an energy shift.  Or it could be some other physical symptom to your body like ear itching or crown tingling.  Pay attention to those moments when the chatter in your brain completely stops for no reason and you are made to ponder.   Pay attention to those moments when you begin to daydream.  There is a message or answer somewhere in all of this. 

When you trust Spirit your life is divinely guided and much of the worry, anxiety, and fear you may experience will fall away.
