Like Opposite Day, but it Wasn't

Last week I chose to surrender material attachments and focus on my spiritual life. There was something about that surrender that made things feel like Opposite Day, but it wasn’t. Then magical things began to happen.

Nothing had changed, but my focus. And it made so many little things flip and shift. It felt like doing the opposite of what I had done. But it was more than that.

By surrendering to spirit’s wishes for my life, it allowed for magic to enter. All I had to do was follow guidance and everything began to flow.

It sounds easy, but it is a practice. When I sense myself turning to the old way of being, I check in. And ask myself questions to ensure that I was doing, or being, what was aligned with my goals and purpose fulfillment.

There are no plans, I just follow my intuitive and Divine guidance. I move through my days like everyone else but with far more support. My spirit team is always with me and are always guiding me through my days.

Magical things have been happening for me. They have been for a long time, but the magic has changed recently. This week it reminded me that I am in an entirely new era of my life.

Case in Point.

It started with a new phone. The transition went smoothly, and I enjoyed learning about the new phone. My old one was old, and the changes were noticeable.

I was headed to the bus stop and looking forward to listening to music on my new phone. Spirit had been sending me a song and I wanted to hear the full song. I was trying to plug in my cabled earbuds when I realized that my new phone didn’t have a jack for headphones.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you may know that music is important to me. My spirit team and my intuition, use music to communicate with me. They send me songs as messages. And like most people, I enjoy listening to the music I love.

Recently a series of unfortunate events meant that listening to music on my devices has been hard to come by as of late. This earbud situation was the last straw. My heart ached and I felt sad.

I immediately began speaking with spirit. My soul, my whole team, was put on notice to guide me to music. To some earbuds. To something that allowed me to enjoy more music.

Within moments, and while still walking to the bus stop, I received guidance. A change in plans. I acknowledged the change and then started searching the internet for options for my headphone situation.

At the bus stop, I found options online, but not what I wanted. An adapter from the big online shop was not an option. I prefer to shop locally when possible. I put my phone away and detached from the situation.

Trusting that it would all work itself out, I went about my day and followed my guidance. My spirit team and intuition kept my awareness filled with music and messages.

The Universe repeated, No More Words, by Berlin. No more words. No more promises. The universe was telling me that changes were coming. Material changes. Perhaps a blessing.

I didn’t think much of it and continued a busy day of errands. I allowed my intuition to lead the way, and the day flowed. Then I was reminded of the change in plans.

My intuition guided me to a store, one I hadn’t been to in a long while. Other than groceries, I hadn’t been shopping in a long time. This stop seemed out of the blue. Until I found myself standing in front of a selection of wireless earbuds.

The song played over and over. In my awareness, not in the new earbuds. No more words. No more promises. The message meant a material blessing.

Within the span of about an hour or two, the universe had provided me with what I asked for and needed to listen to music. My prayer for help had been answered. It felt like magic.

Instead of obsessing about the earbuds and wondering which ones to get or where to get them. Or instead of complaining about it and reacting, or overreacting, I did the opposite.

I allowed it to come to me. Or to be more accurate, I allowed the universe to deliver it to me and for me.

The situation happened. I expressed my emotions. I asked for help from spirit, and I let it go. I released attachment to any outcomes. I knew it would work out, so I let it all go and continued with my day.

Everything I did was the opposite of what I would have done in past versions of myself. And it all worked out in my favor. The Universe had blessed me. My prayer, my wish, my manifestation came to fruition.

Opposite Day.

It was like Opposite Day, but it wasn’t. Because it wasn’t a sudden shift in my thinking or in my actions. I was doing all the things that spirit had taught me to do throughout my spiritual awakening.

I felt my emotions, but I didn’t react. I expressed myself, authentically. My heart ached because I couldn’t listen to music. Not just in the moment, but a series of events had made listening to music harder. I was sad and I expressed it and let it go.

Another opposite from my past selves, I turned to spirit to ask for help. Simply put asking for help wasn’t something my past self could or would do. Spirit, of course, knew the situation, and I knew it was important to ask. Spirit wants me to have what I need, want, and desire. I know that now.

The next opposite day kind of a thing was letting it all go. I may have done one or two internet searches, but then I let it go. I affirmed that earbuds would find me in in time and I went about my day as usual.

What wasn’t usual was the speed with which the universe answered my request for help. I acknowledged the change in plans. The selection of store seemed weird, and I wasn’t sure why we were going, but I went with the flow.

So maybe that’s a couple more things I did that were opposite of my old self. I accepted the change in plans, trusted guidance, even when it seemed a little weird, and I went with the flow of…everything.

Opposite day energy meant that I was moving through life very differently than I have in the past. It was also about me having awareness of how much I’ve changed. How much I’ve grown throughout my spiritual awakening.

The Universe blessed me with two gifts on my opposite day, awareness of my growth and earbuds.

The Image.

The image in this post is mine. I was standing in an intersection during the May Day protest on Thursday. (I posted a few images of the actual event on my Facebook page.) This image seemed to be a clear message from the Universe. There is no one way. We can choose a spiritual path.

In Gratitude.

With almost 18,000 pages viewed from 112 countries, April was the best month on the Exploring Spirituality blog. I am grateful to you and to everyone who has made that possible. 

It is a reminder that there are many of us from all over the world waking up and exploring spirituality.

I’m grateful you’re here. I love you.

Be well, beautiful soul,

Nikki
