Lesson 313: The Sleeping Dream...

… and the waking dream are all as One. If we are one with the Universe with no separation of the layers within the Universe, all dreaming states are interweaved with each other are actually part of the One. Today we are to think about where we go when we sleep. It’s about recognising that we are all part of the Universe no matter what state we are in.

I sometimes don’t dream during sleep. In those states, I honestly believe my mind and body need rest and doesn’t want to feed my mind with anything that I may need to focus on.

On other occasions, I have vivid dreams and they are mostly related to what’s going on in my life. I believe I go to another plane or room in my mind, and the dreams are about letting answers come to me that need to be answered. Sometimes they aren’t direct answers but cryptic clues within the dream.

I can’t say I have any dreams of aspirations, or it’s just that I don’t remember them! I am currently trying to build the life I want to live, so I feel like having clues or future visions through my dreams might influence how I make my decisions, when I want to make those decisions in the now.

I would love to open myself up to more dreams though. I think most of the time my mind and body wants rest so I think my mind goes to a void, so that it isn’t being worked during a dream state. I guess in this way, being in a void is like being in the void of the Universe.

Lesson 303: When You Are in Heart of Connection...

“When you are in the heart of connection, you have the ability to co-create with the Universe. The trouble is, what to ask for, what to manifest? In truth, you need ask for nothing. All that you require for soul growth is already provided.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to consider not manifesting anything at all. Not placing any intention and attracting something specific in your life. Usually when you what to manifest something, you have a clear intention in your mind. What if you just let that notion go for a day. See what the day brings…

My day consisted of walking in the morning, getting ready for work, went to a few workshops in relation to how I can handle my redundancy, more work, worked on my CV, came home, ate dinner and then watching TV whilst blogging. I was pretty over the day. I just felt so exhausted trying to keep it together as I’m at work doing tasks that are essentially redundant. I usually ask for good things to happen but nothing specific. I haven’t asked for something specific in a while – not even a new job. I guess what I did learn was that I haven’t checked in on a few friends. So, I did that when I got home. What unfolded was a reminder that I should get past my negativity or what others have done to me recently. My friend told me not to hold onto it. It is from that situation, in which I can learn from. I made mistakes in that situation and I can learn from it. I thought this was a gift. She was right. Plain and simple. I need to work through the emotions and really just let this go back out into the Universe. Holding onto anger does nothing. With this particular situation, if I don’t think about it, it’s fine. When I am thinking about it, I get so mad. There is no need for this as it’s wasted energy. It must bury itself in my subconscious, wanting to come out. And, with what’s happening at work with my redundancy, my negativity and anxiety is a bit shot to the roof. Speaking to this friend today reminded me that I have the chance to change the narrative. And, I will!

Day 271 - A Year to Clear - Wonder Questions

Lesson 271: Wonder Questions

Have you ever thought to ask the Universe (or any deity you believe in) a question to get an answer? Have you ever asked to have it revealed to you over the next few days or the next week? If not, why not? When you start to pose your questions out to the Universe, then you start to see synchronicity come into your life or signs start to appear. This is the Universe leading you to the answer.

I sometimes ask the Universe for answers and it does deliver. I get delivered my answers in various ways – sometimes I get them in dreams, through meditation, through guides, through mentors, through my tarot cards, sacred angel numbers, through other people or just by random thought. Sometimes I don’t have an answer so I put it out there instead. I find that I can get any answer if I just put the question out there. Some people may say it’s coincidence, but since I don’t believe in that, I think there is some higher force helping me along the way. I think it gives me assurance that something bigger out there helps me along the way. What do you believe in? Do you put your questions out there when you can’t come to an answer yourself?

Day 117 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - The Universe Moves You Toward

Lesson 117: The Universe Moves You Toward...

The Universe is always about elevating us to our highest self. No matter what we do, it wants us to grow and learn on a frequency that is above what we are now. It’s us as humans that bring the vibration lower and it is never the Universe trying to bring us to our lowest of lows. Even in those moments, the Universe wants us to have the highest possibility.

Today is thinking about focusing on the Universe inspiring and uplifting us to our highest potential and that it will never do anything to bring us down. How do you assess your life when you think of the Universe in this way?

I definitely agree that my lowest of lows were definitely brought on by myself or I was a victim of circumstances of others. I believe there was always a lesson to learn and to grow from those darkest moments because you can only go up from there, right? I think part of the problem is that when we’re in a low, we tend to lurk there, sometimes not having the strength or motivation to get back out. Let me tell you that I have stared depression in the face and I know what it’s like to feel empty. A void that you wish you could fill but somehow you just can’t. It’s hard to get simple tasks done. It’s hard to get up. It’s hard to give a shit. It’s hard to be grateful for anything. I know this all too well.

I was very much aware of what I was capable and incapable of in those moments. There were times when I didn’t see the point in living, though I would never consider suicide. I think when you reach certain depths, it’s hard to rebuild your vibration or best self. You definitely need the support whether it’s friends, family, psychologist or support group. I think you need some self-awareness and the will to want to make steps to get out of these lows. I was lucky enough that I got inspired by one person to get me out of my depression. Her name is Mel Robbins and she created the 5 Second Rule. It’s definitely a method of persuasion and programming your brain. One of my friends sent me her work and it helped me get out of my post abortion depression.

In this instance, I feel the Universe showed me that sure, some unfortunate circumstances occurred through my own actions, but there was light to come. I had support, I had a friend who made a recommendation, I became awakened after this situation. From the ashes, I really started to rise and still am. I am the best I have ever been since this tragedy and I continue to see myself soar more than I ever have before. I am resilient and try to spread that to others.

Lesson 45: There is the illusion..

Today I am to think about how much control I have over my life, if I’m sure about that and to imagine the universe having a better plan for me.

I agree that we do not have complete control of our lives. I know this all too well when my life went out of my control last year and I questioned life itself. When you really feel life spiralling out of control, you really question why. I know last year’s trauma was a pivotal point for me, and I just couldn’t see the value in life when everything seemed to go wrong. I know now, that was just the universe building me up to be a stronger person today, and proving to me that I can overcome any adversity. I was shown that I could go to the very bottom and have the power to climb back out.

I realise this is a story I spout a lot. It’s my story and it definitely shaped how I became the person I am today. I don’t even care that I repeat myself because I had my awakening through my adversity. I suffered a loss in an abortion, I didn’t know why the situation was happening to me at the time, but I’ve grown so much from it because I angrily asked the universe what was the point. I got my answer in 2 angel fish. They were sent to me and I’ve never really doubted what the universe brings me since that connection.

It’s why I’ve chosen to just live through experience. Every situation has something to be gained from it. A little insight maybe? A little fun? A little memory? Life is to be experienced and not just a set of tasks to be accomplished. We need to LIVE and not just exist. I know I want to look back on my life and can say I really loved the experience. The day I move on, I’ll be ready because I can say I truly lived. I believe the universe is sending me what I need when I need it. So it’s just being open to what comes.
