There was a time when I felt that my life was guided by signs everywhere I went. And they were gorgeous signs. Here’s a great example: In 2003 I had just taken the Healing Touch level 3 class and had been told that level 4 was only for people who wanted to set up a Healing Touch business. My heart said yes, and, we lived in a small rural town and I didn’t see a lot of demand in the area for this type of service. I really didn’t see it as my future and so I was sitting on the fence. My husband, Wayne, and I were at a spa getting Valentines Day massages. He went in first … while I waited listening to the relaxing music and being meditative. When it was my turn, the lady chatted with me and said that Wayne had mentioned the Healing Touch classes we had been taking. Without missing a beat, she said she would like to offer me a room free of charge at her Spa to practice with clients until I was certified and ready to offer service for a fee. Awesome sign and so easy to read.
Over the years I’ve gotten more into the idea of reading signs and have learned that in the animal kingdom, EVERYTHING is a sign. Whether it’s new shoots on the plants, a thunderstorm, or someone coming through the bush loudly. Animals listen to signs instinctively and it allows their species to thrive and continue!
There was a point a few years ago that I was so good at reading signs I could trust the first thing that came along as a redirection or guidance. It was a beautiful thing! I didn’t need to get well down the trail and find I had gone the wrong way. I found it amazing to have such a fine tuned system!
Things have changed. Now as we head to 2012 the energy is so full of disturbances little signs to me seem more like bumps in the road than redirections. I think if I took every dropped call, red light, or crossed wire as a sign, I would be living in a little box unable to move anywhere.
I still look for the big signs and I still notice the little bumps. I now rely more directly on my intuition. Rather than wondering what the sign means, I now check inside to see if it’s anything I need to pay attention to. Sometimes it’s yes. I’ve had a series of dropped calls with a friend I chat with regularly. We’ve actually ended up changing how we talk about certain subjects because the timing is so pointed EACH time the call drops. On the other hand, there are other times in other conversations when my phone drops a call and I simply call back and go on where I left off.
I’ve found there are no rules any longer. Each situation calls me to be present and neutral to check my intuition and see where the wisdom lies.
May you have great support and easy signs to read along your way. And may the bumps in the road be just that – bumps that are easy to move over and beyond!
Thank you for helping me know what to pay attention to. Love ya! Sue
