The Sacred Exists When We Listen

The spiritual stalemate. Where has the magic gone?

I remember a time when angels and initiations into the unseen were an everyday occurrence. It seems so easy to allow the mundane to immerse itself into the possibility of miracles. And it seems like the more we talk about miracles, the less they come to life. Divinity is a beautiful thing to experience in each moment. So many have told me that each moment cannot be and is not meant to be sacred and extraordinary. I have been told that I am utopian and stubborn. And I am. I believe everyday magic exists when we place the awareness into our day. Life is a choice. I am making the choice to revisit my visitation.

What is an angel? Do they exist? Are they watching, observing, and guiding? When was your visitation of the extraordinary? Has your call called? Are you listening? Life changes and reinvents itself in ways that are only awe-inspiring. My life has been guided and continues to be guided in deep rooted lessons that bring light to a world and a reality that creates and sings only poetry. I believe what you feel is impossible is in fact possible. Bringing the concept of magic back into your world is like an alchemical elixir that turns the mundane into meaning.

The Practice:

As you awake each morning, choose to NOT do your day exactly the same and CHOOSE to remember the magic. Expect to be a part of a miracle whether the giver or the receiver.

Gently flow forward and smile deep into the eyes and heart of someone and connect into your essence.

I just have to share this experience as it COMPLETELY relates! There are two things I have been thinking about (if not OBSESSING about lately). One is how deeply interconnected we all are. Energies radiate amongst and between us in was our minds can't even imagine. And two: I have finally been accepting that I am on the right path in my life and the risks that I have taken to follow my dreams were well worth it. I have been thinking about these two things IMMENSELY. And I have also been open to seeing the signs around me... the miracles... the sychronicities... the coinsidences...etc, that reassure me that I am where I am meant to be.

So just today, I open an email from someone I do not know, someone I have never met. Someone who lives in Miami. There are pictures of her (she looks just like me) and she tells me she is born just days away from my birthday (we're both Leos). She explains how she randomly met some friends of mine in Miami who tell her that she reminds them of me (they show her pictures of me as well) and apparently she goes home and has a dream about me then sends me this email:

"I only heard of you a couple of nights ago. It was the first time, to my recollection that I dreamt of someone before I actually met them.

I met your friends who spoke very highly of you and then mentioned you and I had comparable energy so I suppose you can say we are kindrid spirits! Then again, aren’t we all at one level or another?

So the dream... I was at my friends house for a visit, and you came by to visit them (you knew them in my dream, but not in “reality”).

You were on your way to move out of the country. In the dream we met and you told me your name, which is how I knew it was you. You looked as you do in your photos, but your hair was very long. You began to tell me you were moving to a city in India and how excited you were to be going. You also expressed apprehension about it as well….

I listened then told you that I could sense the kind of person you were, of your incredible strength and told you there were very few people in this world brave and courageous enough to undergo such an adventure – to follow your path….your heart’s desire, and that you were one such person.

My alarm went off right then, and I awoke. But being awoken from such a deep sleep and dream, it was still very clear when I awoke, so I was able to recall it and wrote it down to tell you one day.

It was so vivid that I knew I had to share it with you.... may have nothing to do with your life presently... could be a previous or future life!! But I had to share and hope we meet one day!"

So YES! The sacred exists in every moment, in ways we can't explain, across time and space. The universe is always showing us and leading us and reassuring us. All we ever have to do is follow our bliss, put the oars down and stop paddling against ourselves, and allow the river of life to take us where we are supposed to go... and experience all the joy and love we can along the journey!! This very path IS what's sacred.

Thanks for the reminder of the some of the beautiful things going on each day that I often forget to take a moment to notice and feel. Your voice is a wonderful and true gift.
