Following the Signs

At the beginning of 2025, the intuitive nudge I received from spirit was clear.  This year would be about spiritual development.  Carving out time for a daily routine of spiritual practices, has been a priority.  There are many of us who go to the gym daily and have a regimented plan for their diet and exercise.  However, what about the spiritual muscle?  How much time does one give to prayer, meditation and faith?  This year has been my opportunity to go within.  To focus primarily on what brings peace to the soul.  The radiant light within.  

The more light you allow within you, the brighter the world you live in will be – Shakti Gawain  

What made me pursue the inner path?  In January, I was watching a film with my parents.  The movie centered upon faith and maintaining a connection to prayer.  I reflected on the film and began a deeper practice of prayer, affirmations and mantras.  When we face discomfort or suffering, it is of utmost importance to remember the higher power, the universe, along with our angels and guides.  There is something called the unseen realm, in which we must believe our ancestors and guides are watching out for us.

In Numerology the sum of 2025 – adds up to a 9.  We get this number by adding the sum of numbers 2+0+2+5=9.  This year for many souls has been about unraveling.  Foundations are breaking down in our individual lives and on a global scale as well.  Many have felt their relationships, career or living situation shift.  Collectively the focus has been on politics, financial upheaval, and the breaking down of economies.  The number 9 is a breaking point that we all need to surrender, heal and evolve.  There are numerous people I know who have felt immense challenges are trying to navigate with the energy of 9.  Things are falling apart to show us a better way of living.  We are in a shift of consciousness, one that will change the way of future generations.  One can stay in a lower dense frequency of fear or harmonize with the beaming bright energy of Oneness – LOVE.  

Each of us has a unique part to play in the healing of the world –  Marianne Williamson

I am an avid book lover and was taking a stroll at a local book store when I stumbled upon a novel called  Signs:The Secret Language of the Universe – by Laura Lynne Jackson.  I believe this was a divine orchestration.  I opened the book and read one paragraph.  I knew it was a nudge to read this book and uncover answers I was seeking.  The narrative was a blessing.  It was the push I needed to remember signs, coincidences and miracles.  That out of the ordinary comes the extraordinary.  To NEVER stop believing every person, place and encounter is connected.

When you ask for signs from the Universe, the Universe speaks back – Laura Lynee Jackson 

This year I kept on falling ill with colds, flus, stomach viruses and burnt out.  By June of this year is when the universe was testing my soul.  I ended up becoming quite ill from a chest infection and was unable to work and leave home for a few weeks.  In hindsight, this was a blessing.  I began to slow down, spent time nurturing my heart and found a deep appreciation for gardening flowers.  I became sick for my body was trying to get my attention.  It allowed me to heal, bask in silence and savor my cup of tea as meditation practice.  The moments of silence were essential, as it gave me time to figure out my next vacation.  I was guided to France in September.  The angels were whispering go home and be near the ocean.  Paris will always be the beaming energy of self-love and divine feminine energy. 

Whatever obstacles you or someone close to you is facing, do know that we are on a threshold of evolutionary change.  Trust the timing of your life and surrender.   Life will never be the same way again.  We are connecting to our sacred past lives as healers, seers and upgrading our DNA.  You incarnated in this time and space for a reason.  I don’t know you but please know – you are worthy, seen, loved and heard.  Be gentle on yourself, stay in the energy of gratitude and know the earth is carrying you in her heart.  Follow the signs, everything will lead you towards the golden path.  

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life – Gautama Buddha

Magic of the Universe

Speak To The Universe Quotes. QuotesGram

All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark. –Swami Vivekanada

What is the Universe?  Defined by Wikipedia, “The universe is all of space and time and their contents, including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy”.  The universe is precisely made up of components of the ethers!  I once read that stars and humans consist of similar chemical elements.  Think how magical you are,  you are like stardust!  In my own interpretation, the universe is a grand phenomenon.  It listens and responds to our intentions and overall frequency.  The universe is beyond our grasp, however resides within you.  Listening intently to your thoughts and heart desires.  An awareness that there is invisible force guiding your life and destiny.  

The Universe is cosmically woven: embodies Mother Nature, galaxies, consciousness and humanity.  It is endless, formless, it will always continue.  For example, think of the symbol of infinity, there are two circles that overlap one another.  Circles are infinite, never ceasing to stop.  A circle is symbolic as it represents divine nature, chakra spiritual energy and patterns.  The circle unifies and expands, it is associated with totality, wholeness and eternity.  When you master your life lessons, everything comes full circle  – you make a conscious choice to evolve.  

Life is a full circle, widening until it joins the circle motions of the infinite. –Anais Nin.   

For example, the sun, moon and earth are all circular.  They are in harmony with the sacred universe, flowing like the cycles of nature.  There is always balance and unification within the universe.  A unified field of possibilities.  All things have potential in every aspect of your life.  Every decision you make connects you to your soul purpose.  There is no separation, everyone is connected.     

I have written about the concept of  “Universe” in a few articles.  Recently, I have felt compelled to research this topic further and understand how it was orchestrated.  The definition of the universe may vary from each individual.  How many times have you done this, looked up at the sky and asked how did creation begin?  How did everything evolve?  Evolution of mankind, it all started somewhere.  Do you ever stargaze in the evening, hoping to see a shooting star or are mesmerized by the beauty of the sky?  These are tiny miracles that shine upon us daily.  

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. –Stephen Hawking

The marvel of the Egyptian Pyramids, Stonehenge in the UK, and the Acropolis in Greece.  These are all Ancient Wonders of the world, with profound historical significance.  They were constructed or self-made centuries ago.  It is remarkable how these ancient wonders are still standing. There are several theories on this, however this is an entire different article.  

Did you know that the Universe resides in you?  Within you, are all the answers your soul seeks.  The Universe supports you and wants you to live your best life.  For example, think of the universe as Aladdin’s lamp.  The tale of Aladdin is about a young boy who discovers a magical lamp.  He was only permitted three wishes to be granted by his companion the “Genie”.  The universe is like the genie!  It wants you to live beyond your dreams.  Your emotions, thoughts, are all vibrations you transmit.  The universe picks up on your requests and sends the frequency out to the universe.  This can be defined and termed as the “Law of Attraction”.

The universe loves and cares for YOU in every way.  Serendipities, signs, happenstances are all manifestations of the universe.  Every aspect of your life is a blessing whether positive or negative.  When you face doubt or lack, know source energy is taking care of you.  All you have to do is ask.  Asking?  How many times do you forget to do that?  Once you make a conscious decision on what you desire the universe hears that request instantly.  Your only job is to be clear, trust the process of life and surrender.  The universe is going to arrange every aspect of your life.  As a musical symphony is composed of melodies and harmony, all the notes align together to make a masterpiece.  Your life is like a beautiful song from the universe –  sing it loud!  It is meant to be absolutely glorious.   Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence – Alan Watts

You have been given the gifts from the beginning of birth, can you remember?  The year 2020 has certainly been full of surprises.  Can you align yourself to the light of the universe and open yourself to miracles?  Perhaps, this is the time humanity is seeking transformation for the best.  Let this year be a turning point for you.  Healing, growing and shedding the past are central to 2020.  Listen to your inner voice, the universe is YOU!  Know you chose to be on earth, at this pivotal point in time.  The unpredictable and unknown will create the life you have been waiting for! 

Let It Be – The Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me

Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
“Let It Be”, by the Beatles was released on March 6th, 1970.  This moving song was written by Paul McCartney.  A beautiful melody which speaks to the soul.  It makes me reflect on our present circumstances globally, as there is a lot of uncertainty.  Sometimes you just have to let go, trust, surrender and know the divine will take care of you.  This song is truly words of wisdom, that echo into the heart. xo

Desiderata – Max Ehrmann

Be Gentle with Yourself by Max Ehrmann. $38.00, via Etsy ...

GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy.

The Desiderata was written by Max Ehrmann in 1927.  He was an American writer who wrote on spiritual themes.  I hope this selection of poetry provides comfort and peace during this time on Earth.  A reminder that the universe is working with you.  All things are coming together.  Stay humble, remember self-love and care. SHINE your radiant heart xo
