Choosing
Today, we are greeted by the Spirits of Lemuria, reminding us that we have endless opportunities and offering guidance about making choices for ourselves.
It is a great gift to have free will. It is one of the unique experiences of being in an avatar on this planet. However, sometimes making decisions becomes overwhelming - either because we have too many choices or because we do not know what to do.
Much of our indecision comes from fears, whether we are aware of them or not. We are often afraid of making a mistake or of doing something wrong or of missing out.
The mind can make lists of pros and cons and become lost in the forest of these analyses. We also do not realize that such analyses can hide our unconscious resistance and avoidance. In addition, the more we focus on making a decision from our minds, the less we are able to hear direction from our hearts.
Our hearts hold all of the answers - it is where our soul/Higher Self connects with us. Whenever there is a decision to be made, take the time to get out of the mind and into the body. This is where you will be able to step into knowingness - sometimes referred to as a “gut feeling.” From the heart, you will be able to make a decision based on love, rather than fear.
That does not mean that the decision will necessarily feel comfortable or fall within your comfort zone. Indeed, our souls are always urging us to push our edges and step out of the familiar.
With this in mind, we are encouraged to take the time to connect with our bodies and then “try on” the decision. How does it feel? Which decision feels like relief, excitement, passion, scary in a good way, or gives you “butterflies”?
We are reminded that “nervous” and “excited” are the same energy, simply with different labels. Thus, it is up to you to decide whether a choice that creates a feeling of “butterflies” is positive or negative.
Making decisions and choices requires courage. Practicing doing so allows you to step into a deeper relationship with yourself and Spirit - a deeper level of trust - and will allow you to greet the world with more of an attitude of “why not.”
One of the questions to consider when trying on various possibilities is - “what is the worst that could happen?”
When the mind/ego steps forward to give you a list of “terrible” things, challenge that and see what, if any, of it is real. To do this, you may wish to exaggerate somewhat so that you gain access to any underlying fears and resistance.
Practicing this will allow you to step into the unknown, grow, and let your heart guide you to magic and sychronicity. In fact, you may find that there are more options than you had realized and what you want is closer than you think.
The Universe wants to support you and give you what you desire.
Make choices that are aligned with your authentic self - your heart, compassion, integrity, passion - and let the flow of energy guide you.
Your life will blossom in miraculous ways!
