I’ve been thinking about going to Greece in February. There is something magical about the Aegean Sea and the thought of spending two months there, lolling around the islands is totally enlivening. The thing is, I have a sense of something not quite right about it. I mean, I see where I can make it work, but energetically, I see that little sliver that is cut out of the picture, which usually i
ndicates that something is wrong.There have been times when I’ve followed that inkling and times when I’ve ignored it. I am feeling like I should withdraw my plans, cease looking for airline tickets and just pause in stillness. Fine. But I’m asking Doreen Virtue’s Angel Cards for some insight.Angel Desiree: “No, conditions aren’t favorable right now. Wait, or look into other options; and ask the angels to help, guide, and comfort you… There is a reason why you asked for Heaven’s opinion about this situation. In your heart, you knew that something was amiss. I am here to help you trust this wisdom within your heart. Although it may seem romantic to jump in without looking, this situation warrants otherwise. Since I am one of your guardian angels, your happiness is my central mission. This situation, as it currently stands won’t bring you the joy that you seek.”There are options available to you. One is to wait. This will certainly improve your outlook, either because you will learn more information or because something better will come along. The second option is to go ahead with the current situation. You certainly have the free will to do so. Be assured that I will stay with you whether you heed my caution or not. If you fall into a situation where you need my rescue, I will be there with my unconditional love! Each time that you listen to me– and also each time that you ignore me– you grow and learn.”
Hot Damn, Angel Desiree! You are on fire!
The last time I ignored my gut instincts, it took me down a path of obvious wrongness. I think that last time was the swan song of ignoring my gut instincts. NEVER again will I ignore those feelings of guidance. That’s what this journey is about for me, right now.
Although I’ve got a heart full of joy, I am very much aware that there is something special that’s brewing for me in the universe. It’s a secret that I’m holding close to my heart, but know, Dear Friends, that it is a BIGGIE! And I am solely in the hands of Holiness on this one. The stakes are high and it is in my interest to listen and heed…
Crystal,
Red flags, and screaming gut instincts? I have ignored them for years. Often, I knew situations would probably end in flames, but I was willing to pay the price for the exciting ride. I am no longer willing to sit in the middle of chaos like I once was. Like your swan song, my last situation of that sort was probably my finale of ignoring my gut also. For the first time in my life, I actually feel like a rational being; this is in contrast to my former self who was always making choices, and reacting, out of emotion.
The world is your oyster 🙂
Lhamrock, I hear you. It’s funny how the rational being using her instincts. We’re using the term rational to mean the opposite of what society does. Society says that rational beings use their heads. We’re saying use our guts. My head takes me down the path of inauthenticity and I want nothing more to do with it. I’m still realizing how many dreams were really not my own. I’ve spent way too much time out of my body– out of touch with who I am really to even know what I feel. But not any more. I’m listening to what I feel and getting a totally different perspective on my life. Thanks for sharing your insight, Beloved Sister.
I have been in the same situation several times. I felt like I needed to make a change & something came to me that seemed idyllic; but as the plans began, a gut feeling had me wondering, but I thought it was just me having doubts. So I kept charging through with my plans & things didn’t turn out so well each time. After a few of those, it sent me into a state of self-doubt & depression that was almost the end of me. Fortunately, I had good people around me who helped me realize the possibilities of each new day & I found renewed belief in my Self. I think this is one of the greatest challenges for those of us who look forward to new & exciting experiences, but knowing when it’s the right time to be patient & the right time to jump! Wishing you peace, blessings, & the knowing of the right time! Namaste’
Thanks, Ananda. You know exactly what I’m talking about. The thing I’m realizing is that I was focused on all the shallow stuff. I was focused on things that were meaningless. It got to the point where I had the big revelation: IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE I LIVE IN THE WORLD. Today’s revelation was: YOU ARE TOTALLY LIMITED BY THE RESTRICTIONS YOUR MIND PUTS ON YOU! These are big ideas that my ego resists, but that lets me know right there that I’m spot on. So I have lots of growing to do and I’m happily moving forward– going with the flow. Now to get focus on the new message: How can I be of service?
