Listening to your heart and following Spirit
Spirit said, “You must be willing and ready to change directions in your life, especially when you don’t know WHY.” Let me share what happened.
My best friend, Kati, invited me to her birthday party this week. My pupu was prepared and I was ready to go. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, I didn’t want to go and felt really uncomfortable about going. I prayed about it and asked Spirit for guidance. It would be one thing if I didn’t feel good, but I felt fine. How was I going to explain this to her and, of course, I didn’t want to disappoint her? It was so strong that I had to follow my heart and trust I was being led by Spirit.
I called Kati and said, “I won’t be coming to your party tonight and I don’t know why.” I felt stupid, but needed to be totally honest. Of course, she was disappointed, but understood I needed to follow my heart. We were both curious as to why this was happening. When I’ve changed my mind in the past about something I was doing, the next day it would be clear what the reason was. I decided that I wouldn’t beat up on myself and that I would trust Spirit whether the reason was clear or not.
When I prayed about it the next day because I didn’t know why I said no, , Spirit said,
“Most of your life you have put others’ needs first because you needed their love. Today, you are loving yourself first and the love you share now with others is my love. You followed your heart and risked your friend’s disapproval. I know it was difficult and uncomfortable saying no to her, but you also knew she would understand. It was more important to follow Spirit and your heart than to please Kati. You are going deeper in your trust of me and my guidance.”
This brings to mind what happened when I moved to Maui almost 7 years ago. I had to be willing to change directions because it was my plan to continue coaching, teaching and speaking. That was not God’s plan! I was only here a few weeks and settling in when I heard Spirit clearly say, “I don’t want you to do anything, but I want you to learn how TO BE.” I knew how TO DO, but I didn’t know how TO BE. There was resistance at first because I thought I knew how TO BE, but I didn’t
So much has happened since I listened and learned how TO BE.
- I’ve learned the art of “allowing” and to surrender and go with the flow instead of pushing my way and making things happen. Exhausting!
- I’ve learned how to TRUST myself and inner guidance, which enables me to RECEIVE the good that the Divine wants to give me.
- I’ve learned how to say no when I need to and only do what feels right.
- I’ve learned to love and appreciate all of me, my shadow as well as my light.
- I’ve learned to give up control and RELAX knowing everything happens for a reason, has a purpose and there are no mistakes.
- I’ve learned to live in gratitude knowing I am being led to my greatest and highest good.
- I’ve learned to live in the moment because that is all there is.
I’ve really “settled in” to this peaceful place and enjoy relaxing, playing, swimming, surrendering and BEING. Now I am hearing Spirit say again, “YOU NEED TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS AND FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND SOUL’S CALLING.” Of course, I will still do the things I love.
I ask for the grace to remember all I’ve learned in this time of BEING and bring these qualities to the new chapter with the Sacred Sexual Awakening and Healing trainings and workshops in which I’m involved in.
I’m excited as I am following my heart and soul’s calling. I feel honored, blessed, grateful, expanded and humbled to be doing this powerful sacred healing work with women.
Our first workshop on Maui is called “Awakening to Sacred Sexuality” and is scheduled for January 5th & 6th at the Waleia Healing Center. L will be assisting Amrita Grace as an apprentice for the Awakening & Healing workshop in Oakland, California in October. I will be attending a week- long Awakening and Healing retreat in Costa Rica with Caroline Muir and Amrita Grace in November. Oh, happy day! I am free and ready to fly with the angels.
Are you following your heart and are you willing to change direction when Spirit guides you?
