Magical Moments of Spiritual Awakening

The Plan.

I had to get out of the house this week and I was ready for a mini adventure. There was something I needed to do and a plan was in place. But it didn’t work. I kept running into blocks and plans fell through more than once.

The initial plan, that path, was blocked. I came to realize that it wasn’t aligned. If it was, it would have been successful. I needed a new plan. One that was aligned. With no clear path forward, I let it go.

I asked for the intuitive guidance of my soul and the Divine guidance of my spirit team. I affirmed that if they wanted it to happen for me, they would show me the path forward. A few hours later, they did.

A new plan began to form. I saw my path, and this time it felt good. My energy was up for this new direction. It felt more like my old self. And, in an effort to avoid going backwards, I checked in with my soul.

Were we repeating past patterns? No.

Was this new plan aligned with us now? Yes.

With those questions answered, I affirmed my faith and trust in the path and process and moved forward. Guidance came in for all parts of the new plan. Things just fell into place. It flowed. 

The Sun.

As I was walking along and doing the thing, every step I took was with Spirit. The entire plan, every step forward, was provided for through guidance. My awareness was filled with intuition and gratitude for every step and everything. I felt fully loved, supported, protected, and guided. 

With the sun on my skin, I had a moment of clarity. The new plan was the path of least resistance. It was the path that flowed in alignment. I accomplished what I needed to with ease. 

Almost immediately I had another moment of clarity. My thoughts were fully supportive and filled with faith and gratitude. Long gone are the days when my inner critic would spoil the joy. Long gone are the days when I was in my head more than my heart and soul. 

That walk was one of those times, one of those magical moments, when I saw how much I’ve changed. I saw the changes in me and how I live my life. I saw the progress and the results of my spiritual awakening.

As I was enjoying my new awareness, something skittered across the sidewalk in front of me. A lizard. My awareness went to a lizard shedding its skin. I knew it was a synchronistic message of transformation and change.

Spirit was reminding me of how much I’ve changed and acknowledging my growth. A smile spread throughout my whole being. Inner peace and joy enveloped me as I walked in the warm sun. It was a magical moment.

The Magic.

It is so easy to go through our day to day lives without thinking about the results of our spiritual path. We keep doing the inner work of healing and growing. We continue our spiritual practice. We keep moving through life and through our spiritual awakening without focusing on our progress or results.

Maybe that’s how it is supposed to work. Maybe it is a way to ensure that we will continue on our path, fulfill our purposes, and destiny. Or maybe it just gets a little monotonous and we forget.

And then one day, as we are walking along, we receive a sign. A lizard. A butterfly. Or some other synchronistic message that reminds us, we have changed. Spirit is reminding us and acknowledging our changes, healing, and growth.

We no longer are the one that is in our head. We no longer experience anxiety like we used to. We realize that our life is spent with Spirit. Our thoughts are full of faith and positive affirmations. We find ourselves at peace in situations that used to bring stress or pain.

This is the magic of our awakening processes. The moments when we realize that all the work we’ve been doing has changed us in deep and fundamental ways. The moments when we realize that we are at peace more often than not. The moments when we know that everything is going to work out for us because we understand our path and walk in faith and trust. 

These moments are why we continue through the pain of healing and growth. They are why we keep going while our lives are deconstructed for us. These moments are why we continue to move forward on our spiritual awakening paths.

These moments of awakening, clarity, and peace, are the blessings. They are the “why”. These are the magical moments of our spiritual awakening.
