Divine Guidance

Trust and be patient with the knowledge that all is in Divine Order.  Truer words have never been uttered, meditated and absorbed.  It’s been my favorite affirmation of the year. The moment I heard the words for the first time on June 29, they resonated with me.

It’s been an amazing year filled with challenges and transformation, abundance and prosperity.  I wake up most days giddy and dance around the apartment because my life is SERIOUSLY RIDICULOUS!  (Seriously ridiculous is a good thing and measures past AWESHOME that is of course better then AWESOME – but the “shs” added to most words when expressing greatness is another story.)  But as I learned from a wise woman’s message on that same June 29, “It’s easy to be a Truth student/practitioner when one’s life is going great.”

As I begin my first month of being 40, so many things are happening and so many things I know will happen and so many things I want to happen RIGHT NOW!  It’s been said to be mindful of what you put out there because the Universe just might say,”Okay… You asked for it.  Here you go.  Let’s see what you can do.”  It’s been my practice over the last two months or so to go within and believe that all is in Divine Order.  Things are going to happen when they are supposed to happen.  This doesn’t mean I get to sit on the sofa and eat Bon Bons (you know, I don’t even think I’ve ever eaten a Bon Bon) until life and events happen.  Instead, I’ve been meditating (or the best version of meditation I’m currently capable of) and listening to the soft SMART voice from my Heart and blocking (as best I know how) the loud NOT HELPFUL voice from my brain.  My apartment will get rented, I will continue to get lose pounds, inches, body fat, I will get certified, new ventures will develop, my clients will come and I will be successful and abundant.

Last Friday night, I received a really great gift from one of my Divinely Talented and Beautiful friends, Sheila.  It was a box set of TAO Oracle cards and before you roll your eyes or shake your head or do a combo of both ask yourself why you are doing either of those actions.  What I believe folks miss the boat on with regards to any form of card reading is that Cards when used as a tool for transformation and personal growth provide guidance.  In my opinion, all of the answers we need are within.  We are born with Truth and Knowledge and the key is to unlock the door and take a walk through the library.  Sometimes locating the right book is simple and located on the table at the front of the library in full display ready for prime time.  For me, it’s walking through aisle after aisle and possibly using the mahogany wood ladder to climb up to shelves and blow off the dust of volumes patiently waiting for my discovery.

I like to start my morning in silence and look out my picture window at the sun warming the buildings across the street.  I do my best to center myself and focus on a word or an affirmation.  With my new TAO cards, I focus on the present, shuffle the cards and pull from the deck one card.  By going within, my Heart knows which card will best serve me for the day.  I can contemplate on the meaning and at the end of the day go back to it and reflect on the card’s message in light of all events which had occurred.  Powerful and fun stuff!
