Messages from Spirit

We all receive messages from the outer world, intuition, and dreams. Spirit tells us when we are on our true path or going astray, moving away from our higher purpose. It is helpful and fun to be aware of these communications.

Sarah Ban Breathnach in her book ‘Simple Abundance’ encourages us to be receptive and alert to these communications. She suggests, “For one week operate on the assumption that nothing that happens in your daily round is accidental.”

I find much comfort as I notice and interpret synchronistic or serendipitous events. Last week I heard a radio interview with Devatara J. Holman, Practitioner of Buddhist Medicine. She declared that intention is everything and can even override actions that aren't quite on the mark. I took that to heart and began setting my intentions. My heart guided me to a lecture by Ernest Chu, author of ‘Soul Currency. His amazing success story began with prayer and intention.

The next day my husband had an upset and I went for a walk, mentally saying a prayer for him and an intention for me. Then I saw a red plastic heart with a smiling face on the ground. Walking a little farther, I saw a glove on a fence post. Someone had tied the thumb and two outer fingers, so the forefinger and middle finger were up in the sign for peace. The little heart seemed to say that the universe heard me and supports us with unconditional love. The ‘peace glove’ reminded me to be at peace during this time of transition to more conscious creation. It is encouraging to receive positive reassurance on my path, my literal path this time.

That night I dreamed that I drove through a tunnel and saw a skeleton holding a suitcase on the front porch of a house. My intuition interpreted the dream as needing to let go of excess baggage and get to essentials. (Maybe “get down to the bone.”) So I intuited what is essential to me, qualities that are authentic, like experiencing the abundance, pleasure, and joy of the moment through my senses, sensuality.

My heart guided me to the book “A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life Purpose” by Eckhart Tolle. I have been reading it to John after we eat. The concepts of wakening in consciousness are powerful and are helping us make dramatic awareness shifts that bring us out of suffering into the grace of being. I highly recommend it if you haven’t read it yet.

Be

Stop a moment.
Look at surroundings.
Soften your eyes to observe light and dark;
sunspots and tree shadows on the floor,
white lace curtains lifting with breeze.
Listen to prosaic sounds;
husband munching cereal,
the creak of our chairs,
a ticking clock, bird chirps.
Find the divine pulse that beats in all.
Feel your breath move in and out.
Touch your face, arms, and legs.
Note muscle and bone.
Smell the fragrance of your skin, a flower.
Perceive the miracle of your aliveness.
Open to being.
