When You Listen To Spirit, Take Any Action Necessary, You Will Find Freedom
(Sorry this is so long but I wanted to tell this with as much detail as I could)
The strangest thing happened to me this morning. I was writing a blog (not this one) and as I was writing it I knew it just wasn’t right, it was all jumbled up and my thoughts were not transferring to the page properly. As I always do when I can’t get my thoughts straight or if I am feeling over emotional, I went and had a shower, don’t know what it is but having a shower sorts me out.
I had only been in the shower about 1 minute when it came to me what I should do and ultimately what I should blog about today.
Now I’m not a great one for ceremonies and rituals because I believe it’s not the ceremony that makes things happen it’s the focus you give while taking part in the ceremony or ritual that makes the difference.
I was told to light a white candle and a joss stick, write down on a piece of paper what it was I was hoping for and an alternative in case the hope wasn’t available, take the piece of paper and the candle and joss stick into the garden, fold the paper and put it underneath the meditating stone Buddha (my daughter bought for me, which incidentally I thought about her doing before she did it and without saying anything to her) put the candle and the joss stick down next to the Buddha and sit in silent meditation in front of the Buddha until the joss stick had burnt out. Then leaving the candle burning go about my day.
I was busy trying to talk myself out of sitting in my garden with a candle and joss stick burning thinking the neighbours will think I’m nuts, when it was pointed out to me by Spirit that I do my yoga in the garden every other day, I burn joss sticks in the garden all the time and anyway my neighbours think I’m nuts already so seeing me sitting on my patio facing my Buddha with a joss stick and candle burning will make them happy for the day because they will know they were right about me.
Having waited until my daughter left for college so I could do this without interruption I followed the instructions.
Spirit says I am not allowed to tell you what I wrote on the paper, that is between me and the Universe, but as I walked into the garden the candle blew out, so I went back inside and relit it, but as it was a windy morning it kept blowing out, eventually after I had tried lighting it again and again a voice said the candle isn’t important, move your focus away from it and onto what you are doing. I bowed to the Buddha set the joss stick and candle next to her and then sat facing her, I read aloud the words on the paper, folded it and put it under her. Then sat in quiet meditation with her.
Spirit says it’s okay to tell you I saw, a fierce dragon but no fire, I saw a face in the Buddha’s solar plexus but not clearly and I saw a red dot the size that would be made by a laser beam just where the heart is. At one point the wind really got up but I sat my ground. I said a prayer, thanked Buddha, Spirit says the rest is up to faith.
I’m not sure how I feel, lighter maybe I don’t know that I can describe it, certainly my smile has widened and I know that something will happen and it will be good, when it’s going to happen doesn’t matter.
That little voice you hear inside you is Spirit, and when you listen and take any action that is being asked of you, one thing is certain you will always end up feeling better than you did when you first heard the voice. So next time a little voice is telling you to do something no matter how odd or quirky it may seem, even if it is telling you to do the opposite of what you want to do, and you know it’s from Spirit, listen to it and take action, it really is for your own good.
