I know I’m not the only one - many clients and friends recently shared that they’re either tired or lacking drive. Honestly, I didn’t realize how depleted I was until my Spirit Guides got my attention….
Last month I was blessed with housesitting a gorgeous spacious home for a few weeks. It seemed like a perfect time to get started on a companion workbook for my first book “Awakening Transformation - A Beginner’s Guide to Becoming Your Higher Self.”🙌🏻 Shortly after I got started on the new book, Spirit guided me to get Michael Sandler’s book “AWE: The Automatic Writing Experience.”
If you read my recent post on automatic writing, you know it’s only been a few weeks since I started this specific practice for communicating with my Spirit Team. I absolutely love it AND I don’t do it every day. My personal spiritual practice has a lot of fluidity according to how I feel - rigid discipline feels yucky to me!
Part of what I enjoy is that my Spirit Guides rarely say what I expect! I love little surprises and I guess they know that. I’m loosely following the AWE practice & one of the daily questions is What Do I Need to Know Today? I thought my Spirit Team would give me wonderful writing tips and encouragement to get my book done. Of course, that’s not what they said! I’m sharing their messages because I suspect that many of you could benefit from it. We’ve worked on not getting stuck in “doingness” and yet there’s still more layers to release to become truly free. 🦋
🔷 Sunday - What do I need to know today?
You are living your purpose. You are on your path. It doesn’t mean that every moment, every breath must be focused on your purpose, or at least not in a heavy or intense way. Let it be light, playful. Enjoy your life and be free. It’s not meant to be intentionally hard. Yes, there will be challenges and difficult moments. ⛅️ That happens unintentionally when you resist the growth you are ready for. This is understandable and part of the growth process. The old way gets challenged and must break down in order for a breakthrough to occur. But there’s many other times when you make your everyday life heavy and burdensome unnecessarily in the name of purpose or intention.
Intention needn’t be strenuous. In fact, if you are living your purpose with joy and lightheartedness, you may find that you have more energy to do your "work". It becomes more sustainable when there is a playfulness mixed into your purpose. Look for anywhere in your routine that feels heavy and see if you can lighten it by making it a game. Sprinkle in a dash of play while continuing to honor and value it just the same.
Ok, fine. I heeded their suggestion and went for a nature walk. I did a puzzle 🧩 with my boyfriend. A couple days later I went back to automatic writing & asked again.
🔷 Tuesday - What do I need to know today?
Know that it’s ok to have fun and relax. We will keep telling you this until it has become natural for you to do so. Right now, you are still fighting the urge to be productive. It’s heavily ingrained in you to spend your day checking items off your to do list.✅ We understand this helps you to remain focused. It can be a useful tool. What if you sometimes simply followed your inspiration as to what you wish to do? There is a time and place for most things. You can give yourself a break from the list from time to time and all will be well. Try it just for today. No list. Just feeling into what to do next. This allows new ideas to flow in. New possibilities. It also leaves more room for inspiration, for our messages. We’re not suggesting that you live this way permanently. Only that now is a time when you could benefit from greater ease and spaciousness.
🔷 Wednesday - What do I need to know today?
It’s fine to just stop doing so much for awhile. It may seem like we have no other message for you, but this one is of the utmost importance for you right now. For there is more coming if you will only make room. You still fill yourself with worry and fear and a little doubt. Those unhelpful energies take up space where awe, wonder and surprise want to enter. 🌈 Allow yourself to trust these messages even more. Take time to go outside. Nature is a deeply restorative place. Projects can wait. Timelines can wait. Put your Self first and everything else can follow.
🔷 Friday - What do I need to know today?
Heed the first request. The enjoyment piece of the equation is the foundation for everything else. It is no small piece. Try not to feel frustrated by the repetition of this message. It is offered with love. 💖 You deserve to fully restore yourself before you move forward. It may feel like you don’t have time for this, that the other things are too important. We assure you that you do. Everything somehow has been taken care of, hasn’t it? Even when it looks otherwise, somehow the bills get paid. The world doesn’t stop if you push back a deadline or say no to a commitment. Trust us. It feels scary, yet you have made the leap many times before. You have been guided knowingly for at least half of your life now. You are safe and cared for. It’s ok to let go a bit more. This seems like a minor detail, yet this is the key. 🔑
🔷 Sunday -What do I need to know today?
Everything will be fine. Can you feel it? This isn’t a time for a quick fix. Rather, slow down and be present.🐌 There is nothing to rush. Although the world is continuing to speed up, you can move at your own pace, your soulful pace. Don’t get swept up in the energies, otherwise they will pull you out of your authentic flow. This is a foundational practice - to slow down. The world will continue to speed up. It’s important to find your own authentic rhythm. Move to the beat of your own drum. You are at a point of realignment. You are setting the stage for what’s to come. This is a pivotal time for your next unfolding. Enjoy. Play. Restore yourself.
🪷 Everything will flow better when you take relaxed, deliberate, inspired action. Let your doing be the experience rather than simply the pathway to an end goal.
I laugh at how patient and persistent my Spirit Team is. Have you tried automatic writing yet? I’m wondering if your Spirit Guides are cheeky like mine! In addition to their supportive words, the energy they give me is incredibly soothing & restorative. I hope these messages provide some comfort. Take a Sacred Pause. Wishing you more playing & be-ing this week! 🙃
