A Wish & A Prayer

I often talk about divine timing – that cosmic force that gently guides our life. The faint whisper – the nudge to pause. It is difficult to accept that we cannot always just forge ahead with what we want in life. Not everything is in our control. The universe lets us know in subtle ways that there is a path of least resistance – and if we wait, the door will open.

I have gone down the road of trying to force a door to open – that never works, the door doesn’t budge no matter what angle I come at it from. The only constant result in this scenario is running into a wall, disappointment, frustration and eventually giving up. But I never truly give up do I – I’ll tell myself that I have given up, but deep down in my soul I know that I want that door to open.

With time I learned to knock first and wait for the universe to respond. Life flows with much less resistance this way, but the human mind doesn’t like that. The human mind is not fond of the in-between places, those liminal spaces. It wants to be in control & to stand on steady ground. Ironically, control is an illusion.

Trying to control anything other than my own reactions is a futile thing. Even then – my emotions can sometimes run wild! But I come back to myself in those moments – easier said then done, I know. Over time and with an abundance of patience with myself and my sometimes frantic nervous system I was able to find my peace within the chaos of life.

If you find yourself in a space between time, do not fret. In those moments it is easy to forget that the universe has a way of working things out for you – if you are willing to surrender. If you set aside the notion that the universe is in fact working for and not against you, it can surprise you in the most amazing ways.

This space you are in is not punishment, it is a sacred pause. A time for rest and reflection. In divine timing you will see that you are not lost, the fog will clear and before you will be a crossroads of sorts. Which path will you take? There is no wrong path, follow your heart and trust you inner knowing.

I have always said that our lives have infinite possibilities but I also believe that there are certain junctions that are destined. I believe that no matter what path you take, there are points in your life where all possible paths merge into one. I believe you are at one of those points right now – a magical and destined point. Do not let the fear of uncertainty take over, instead soften your body – relax the nervous system. Breathe deeply and trust.

Time, like control, is but an illusion – a very human concept. Breath into the space of possibilities, allow yourself to just live your life. Find ways to bring joy in but also embrace the myriad of emotions – the full spectrum of human experience. Before you know it – the door will open in the most magnificent way. Trust, dear soul, that all will unfold precisely when it is meant to, and not a moment sooner.

Sending love & light,

Namaste.
