Each year when Easter rolled around, I’d find myself reflecting deeply on the “death and resurrection” story, which I best understood in these words:
“I once was lost, but now I’m found..was blind but now I see..”
During these “spiritual occasions”, I get immersed in my spiritual work and signs and synchronicities flow off the charts!
Here’s some recent examples because when these “little miracles” happen, there’s a consistent feeling of AWE (a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder) that allows me to keep trusting my path no matter what.
I want you to deeply trust the inner path you are following and experience your sense of wonder.
I tend not to follow outer rules or expectations anymore, nor do I have 7 easy steps, but somehow I find myself experiencing what I want most of all.
When you remind yourself that the biggest regret upon death is NOT living a life true to yourself – your inner voice has a little more space to rise, and be heard.
Once you notice your voice and trust it’s leading, another level of reality opens for mysterious opportunities to show up more consistently.
Signs and syncs are here for you to PAUSE and practice asking “what do I need to pay attention to in this moment”?
Be still and listen and you’ll get nudges to go within for your true answers from Spirit.
Is there a message here for me? Listen and trust what you sense intuitively from the feelings in your soul’s heartstrings with less emphasis in your head trying to “think” of answers.
Whatever comes from your head has limited capacity for growth since that’s where all your old ways of thinking exist including old habits and any limiting beliefs that haven’t been working for you.
In the quiet of the early morning I can hear swallows singing loudly in my office.
This morning I interrupted my husband who was talking about our upcoming trip to Japan “wait, shhhh … do you hear the swallows?”
He stops talking and almost immediately says “No”.
I was like “wait, what? How are you not hearing them?” (They’re so loud in my ear!)
“Ok .. slow down. Can you please stop thinking about Japan, and try to listen”, I say with my most encouraging voice.
I’m also realizing no wonder he doesn’t hear what I say half the time!
He takes a proper PAUSE …”oh – now I hear them – they are saying it’s friggin’ cold out here and my tail feathers are frozen!!”
We laugh and I remember it was his sense of humour that first attracted me.
Kidding aside, remind yourself that releasing your cluttered head opens your heart to hear more.
These two parts of us don’t speak the same language.
When things are humming along, I take the signs & syncs as a bold whisper to keep going with what can still feel uncomfortable.
Discomfort, just like building your muscle is your signal you are growing in that moment.
Moments that add up.
If you’re ever feeling stuck or confused – ask questions like “what could that mean right now for me?” Trust the answer will arrive if not right then, sometime later.
A Sign in Artwork from 27 Years Ago
I was reflecting on how the cross is the iconic symbol of Christ Consciousness. If you were murdered on a cross, is that the memory you’d want everyone to remember you by?
How you died and not how you lived?
We’ve been given the “good news” of a kinder, more compassionate loving kind of God by many spiritual leaders throughout history.
I took a photo in Rome at the Vatican when we visited Italy for the first time celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary several years ago:
I had stopped to look at this artwork that read “the Resurrection of Christ”. An image we rarely see of Jesus appearing outside an open doorway.
How often do you see and hear of a “doorway to …”?
A portal, channel, gateway, an opening…
I suddenly remembered the first artwork in our home I’d chosen as a wedding gift from my sister-in-law whose husband co-founded a custom framing business.
I was excited when she handed me a catalogue filled with hundreds of prints saying “pick whatever you like!”
However, for anyone who knows me, too much choice for home decor is not a fun exercise.
I eventually picked this one – an open doorway.
Back then spirituality wasn’t even in my vocabulary!
I was working as a Vice President of finance and admin at Ricoh – far away from my soul.
I now noticed for the first time – 27 years later – the semi-circle above the doorway. I’d recently moved this print into our front hall entrance.
Suddenly I instinctively turned to look above my own front door:
The sun’s rays in both is a sign for me. In specific moments, the sun comes streaming through different windows in my home when I’m in stillness and a sudden feeling of “AWE” pours over me.
The sunlight shines right on my face and into my eyes where I’m literally forced to PAUSE.
Slow down to see more. Pause to hear more.
Jesus was never in a hurry and got alot accomplished : )
Sunrise in my living room – April 6th, 2023 8:54 am
Sunset in my office – April 7th, 2023 Good Friday
The light is always here waiting to be noticed.
The signs are a constant source of hope, and infinite possibilities available to all who are ready to listen. Take time to notice yours.
