I woke up again at 4 am. It\u2019s been the same all week. I often find myself wide awake in the middle of the night, but it’s become consistent all of a sudden.<\/p>\n
You may think something is wrong, but for me being up early is a gift. It’s quiet. There’s an incredible space for my spirit to be with my own thoughts.<\/p>\n
I just need to reconcile being up with my mind and body still going to sleep at 11!<\/p>\n
When I first began talking about the 5 am club, it came from listening to\u00a0Robin Sharma. His Best Habits<\/a>\u00a0video is still my go to favourite for providing a plan of action to create that 1 hour to yourself.<\/p>\n You will find your own rhythm, and make modifications, but once this becomes a ritual, you will not let it go. It becomes a little treasure to start your day off great<\/strong>.<\/p>\n So many clients who started out with “I’m not a morning person” become a morning person to honour this sacred space for themselves.<\/p>\n As I got further into my spiritual practice, I began to recognize how vital stillness becomes where I can connect with Spirit to journal, and get insights.<\/p>\n When everyone is still asleep, it’s almost like being in a ‘waking meditation’.<\/p>\n The sound of silence gives you a playing field to hear your own wisdom. I light my candles or incense – sometimes both! \u00a0I play the songs that bring me closer to my inner wisdom. (A few are “Eternal Flame” by the Bangles and “You Are Loved” by Josh Groban).<\/p>\n I listen.<\/p>\n This morning, a\u00a0song came into my mind\u2026\u201dDo You Know Where You\u2019re Going to..\u201d<\/p>\n It was a song I used to play on the piano as a teenager. I also knew it as the \u201cTheme from Mahogany<\/a>\u201d. \u00a0I looked up the lyrics.<\/p>\n Do you know<\/em>\u00a0where you’re going to?<\/em> Do you get<\/em>\u00a0what you’re hoping for?<\/em> Once we were standing still, in time<\/em> Now looking back at all we’ve had<\/em> ~Music & Lyrics by\u00a0Gerry Goffin & Michael Masser<\/em><\/p>\n I understood now why this song resonated back then.<\/p>\n It echos the life review you will have after your life ends here, and before you cross over to the “light”. Your soul is aware of many things on a superconsciousness level.<\/p>\n You are here to develop your soul, and part of this journey is taking a good, hard look at your evolving life experiences that become the ‘fruits of your soul’.<\/p>\n Listening to this song can move you into the experience of looking back to ask \u201cwhat am I creating? Am I happy? Do I feel fulfilled? What are my dreams, and are they coming true?”<\/p>\n I wrote about near death experiences in my previous article<\/a>, and how each of us will have a life review on the other side. In order to move forward you will have an opportunity to look back and be in the shoes of everyone you impacted (both the highs and lows) in order to understand the true impact of your choices.<\/p>\n
\nDo you like the things<\/em>\u00a0that life is showing you?<\/em>
\nWhere are you going to?<\/em>
\nDo you know?<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWhen you look behind you, there’s no open doors.<\/em>
\nWhat are you hoping for?<\/em>
\nDo you know?<\/em><\/p>\n
\nChasing the fantasies that filled our minds<\/em>
\nYou knew how I loved you, but my spirit was free<\/em>
\nLaughing at the questions<\/em>
\nThat you once asked of me.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWe let so many dreams just slip through our hands<\/em>
\nWhy must we wait so long, before we see?<\/em>
\nHow sad the answers to those questions can be.<\/em><\/p>\n
