"Those little things that you alone see, Gina, aren't by chance.
The sign, the squirrel, the dragonfly; the whisper, the song, the lily.
It's me. I'm always with you. I'll do anything to reach you -- to give you hope, keep you on track, answer your questions."
Look even closer,
The Universe
I received the above quote in my inbox back in July, and I saved it. I just re-read it today and that's where I got Today's Thoughts content.
Why did I happen to read that quote today? More about that in a minute.....
Reading this quote today
made me realize that if I did not experience anxiety, I would not be tuned in to my intuition as much as I am.
So does anxiety block intuition?
Well, it may in the beginning because when we are caught up in the tsunami of anxiety, it's hard to hear any of the whispers of our soul or see the signs that the Universe sends our way.
But anxiety also helps us to tap into our intuition more deeply. How?
In my case, there came a point where I was tired of suffering. I knew I had to do something.....take some kind of conscious action.....in order to begin to feel better.
And that's when the 'tapping in' begins to happen, even if you don't realize it at first (I definitely didn't).
"Our purpose here is to awaken to who we truly are."
I've heard the above sentence in some form said by Eckhart Tolle and Adyashanti and other spiritual teachers.....and it has totally stuck with me.
And the Universe will get our attention in some way like the first quote above says:
"I'll do anything to reach you....."
That's how committed Life is to you to help you awaken to who you truly are.
And what we receive as the messages to awaken us and get our attention are different for everyone.
For me it's anxiety. For you it may be anxiety too, or it may be something else.
And once you get to the point of being tired of suffering, something happens.....some light starts to peer through the darkness......and we begin to see signs and hear whispers and start to pay attention to them.
Now back to why I read that quote above today.......
something told me to look in a certain folder I have in my inbox......I didn't hesitate, I went right to that folder and that quote was the first thing I saw in that folder.
If I didn't listen to that whisper, I wouldn't have written this little note tonight, and I wouldn't have remembered how grateful I am for the journey I've been through that has allowed me to discover more about who I truly am and begin to awaken to who I truly am.
So my friends, as the quote above says,
"Look Closer......"
....and notice a new perspective around the thing that life is trying to get your attention with......allow new insights to flow in and that will help you tap into your intuition and see the signs and hear the messages that your soul has been longing for you to see and hear............
inhale ~ enjoy ~ exhale,
