Pearls and Strings for Inspiration

If you keep a Divinity Journal, Angel Journal or any kind of journal where you capture communication with your inner spirit, the angels, your guides and Divine Spirit in general, then I am sure you have pages full of wisdom and profound insights. I know I do. When I moved home at the start of this year, I shed a lot of my clutter. While packing up my life, I went through some of my old journals. I was in awe of the wisdom that found its way to the pages of these journals, so naturally I decided to hold on to them. It was such a beautiful experience to rediscover and relearn some of these spirit whispers and important lessons.

It got me thinking – My inner guide and Divine Spirit have clearly blessed me with wonderful guidance. In some instances, I was able to absorb these lessons right away, while others did not fully sink in and were forgotten about.  I am aware that sometimes we do not fully grasp lessons and that they often come back to us when the time is right. But revisiting these journals left me feeling that I wanted to find ways to integrate this wisdom more fully.  

Then a few weeks ago, I came across Jess Morrow’s ebook – Vocalize: Five Soulful Steps for Writing from your Center. In the ebook, she introduces a step she referred to as ‘Pearls’. Jess suggests that you read through your soulful writing, unearth the diamonds or pearls in the writing and then write them on flash cards. She then suggests stringing these pearls together into meaningful sentences.

I immediately fell in love with the idea. I’ve been having a field day applying the concept in my own way. I’ve been selecting particular words, phrases and sentences that stand out to me. Words that speak to me, that have deep meaning to me and that inspire me. I then write these pearls on little flash cards or sticky notes. I’ve place them by my bedside, stuck them into my vision board and used them as book marks because I know I will read them whenever I pic the book up.

I feel that in doing so, I’ve found yet another way to invite spirit into my life. I’ve made room for answers to find me. It has also allowed the initial seeds planted to be watered, nurtured and to start growing into even greater insights and understanding. Since I’ve started I’ve witnessed an amazing synchronistic flow as well. It is so interesting how simply changes can have such a profound impact.

So, I definitely encourage all of you to try this exercise out. Find your treasures, integrate them into your life in fun ways and draw on their energy in magical ways.

How Time Travel can Soothe Your Soul

*This post was inspired by my connection with my own Higher Self, as well as by my sci-fi fanatic husband who often ropes me into watching weird and wonderful sci-fi movies.

spirit knows

She is gentle, yet radiant. I don’t have to see her face to know that she is smiling. I can almost feel her touch my shoulder as her calm, nurturing and uplifting energy envelops me.

Her words soothe me.

“Relax dear one, I am here for you now,” she whispers.

Her words are so soft they feel like fluffy clouds caressing my heart.

“There is no need to fret. Nor is there reason to rush. You have already reached your destiny.”

“But how do you know?” I asked

“Darling, I am here and I am all the proof that you need. Trust dear one.”

In my mind’s eye, I have a clear vision of her resting her head on mine. The love of her presence wraps around me.

“For now, all you need to do is trust and breathe through it all. Even when you can’t see how you are going to get through it all, trust that you already have,” she says.

Once again I feel comforted. I am able to be at peace in the moment. She always knows what to say to put things into perspective. She is my Higher Self.

Your Higher Self is your consciousness that is tuned in to the Divine intelligence of the universe. Connected with the Higher Self, infinite wisdom and love flows through you. Your Higher Self is also an expert time traveller who is able to consciously connect to the future. This Divine counterpart of your being has already lived through the experience, reached your ultimate destination of each potential future you can inhabit. While meeting the future self is not necessarily a scene out of Star Trek, he/she can help you get a glimpse of the YOU who is a published author, or who is married to their soul-mate, who is mothering three children, who lives in your dream house in Hawaii, who runs a successful business, or who is living the very dream that you are striving towards.  The future self therefore has an understanding of information that you may not be able to see clearly right now.

Forming a dialogue with your future self is an amazing process that often reveals profound insight. Each time I have connected with my future self, the guidance offered has helped me figure out how to be present with what is. Communicating with your future self is especially handy for anyone who feels stuck and has lost hope of where they are heading. You are bound to find the reassurance and direction that you need. Often the guidance that comes is not exactly a step by step 5 year plan, but it will definitely help you see the best way to move from this moment to the next. As you keep putting one foot in front of the other and flow with the whispers of Spirit, you move that much closer to where you want to be. With the bigger picture in mind, you are better able to accept yourself and where you are on your journey right now. It becomes easy to understand the nature of Divine timing and value the lessons and resources that you are gathering along the way.

Accessing Your inner Time Traveller

♥     Fortunately, this journey does not require a big time machine or the Tardis from Doctor Who. All that you require to travel across time and space is a peaceful meditative space and a little dose of imagination. Here are some suggestions:

♥     Take a few deep breaths, let go of your thoughts and allow yourself to become centred in a meditative state for a few moments.

♥     Invite your Higher Self to be present with you. Feel the energy of their presence. What does it feel like? What do you see in your mind’s eye? It is likely that you will feel a deep sense of love and compassion.

♥     Focus on a situation that you need assistance with, or a question that you would like to ask for guidance. Ask your Higher Self this question.

♥     Allow yourself to be open without any attachment to the outcome. Welcome any guidance or words that they have to share. Listen to what comes.

♥     Pay attention to the guidance that you receive and write it down so that you remember it.

 

You can also keep a journal specifically for communicating with your Higher Self/future self. I have one where I write letters from my future self. I am often amazed at how much of the wisdom I’ve receive through these letters has come to pass when I reflect back on them.

 

Understand Your True Nature

“You are a Divine Immortal Being – a precious child of the Universe. Your primary purpose on Earth is to recognize your true nature as a Spiritual Creative Being.” ~ Sonia Choquette

As Sonia Choquette, Dr. Wayne Dyer and many other spiritual teachers have said – Your essential nature is powerful, infinite and Divine. It is magical and profound. When we arrive on this Earthly plane as a baby, everyone is in awe of our perfection and beauty. We are showered with love, acceptance and there is nothing that we need to do to prove our worth that anyone.

As we grow, this changes. Many of us become conditioned, brainwashed and groomed to forget who and what we are. So we start to identify with the ego. The ego creates stories about who it thinks we are. In the end you believe these lies, learn to hate yourself, belittle yourself and diminish your sense of self worth. You feel that you are imperfect and deeply flawed. Nothing you do is worthy and ending up striving to live up to a false idea of what perfection is, just so that you can justify the space that you take up. You feel that your mere existence is an inconvenience to the world. So to make ourselves feel better, we try even harder, still never feeling good enough. The ego fights to maintain control over your so that you remain fearful, unhappy and disconnected from your Divine nature.

Losing touch with your true nature is a common challenge that light workers face. When this happens, you feel lost, alone and abandoned by the Universe. That feeling of disconnection is a harrowing experience for most of us. Although the ego would have you believe otherwise, the truth is that, although you have grown and changed in many ways, nothing has changed about your true nature. You are still just as perfect, lovable and worthy right now as you were the day that you were born. Your intelligent, unlimited and creative spirit still dwells within you. The only thing that has changed is the way that you have learnt to think about yourself. And all that separates you from embodying the Divine expression of the Universe that you truly are is the belief that you are not Divine.

Sometimes we engage in a battle to tame the ego, which in itself ends up entrapping us in the ego. While some teachers encourage fighting to overcome the ego, others teach a much gentler approach. That is to bless the ego with love, handle it with kindness and to observe its antics with a light heart and humour. I find this gentle approach to be very effective for me personally. Deepening your spiritual practise and spending more time in meditation, in a state of peace, harmony and joy allow you to be better acquainted with your essential nature. As you do so, you are also better able to distinguish between the voice of the ego and the loving wisdom of your soul.

Connecting you a space of love is one of the greatest indicates of being aligned to our true nature. When we feel love, we are experiencing being with our heart and soul, and not with our head. Your Divine nature, your essence, your soul and the Mysteries of the Universe are all here in this moment. They have never left you. You just need to be more aware of it.
