Time to Leap!
Today’s message comes from the Postcards from Spirit Deck. It says:
“Dear You,
There are times in life when taking a risk is better left for another day. Other times are perfect for taking that leap, no matter how dangerous it might seem. Well, hold on to your parachute strings - for today is leap time! Realize that no matter what, we will not let you fall, drown, get lost, or hurt yourself in any way on this one. Even if it may feel like you are in free fall, we are here for you, and you can stop freaking out about getting hurt and relax into this transition to something new.
All the elements are in place, and your soul is ready for a new experience. No matter what you’re asking about, it’s time to take the risk and do that thing that scares you. No matter what happens, you will land softly, right on target. Don’t worry about the outcome - Spirit’s got that covered. It’s taking the leap itself that’s the point.
We love your courage! Embrace it!”
So often we hesitate to leap and allow ourselves to become entangled in anticipation. This entanglement brings forth our worst fears about the unknown, particularly when faced with the dreaded “hows.”
Today, we are asked to step into deeper trust of our connection with our Higher Self and Spirit. We each have been receiving guidance about a new adventure - a new experience in life - it may be very small or it may shift the entire foundation of your familiar experience. It is the willingness to courageously take the next step despite any fear that keeps us in the flow and motion of life.
In fact, this willingness allows us to experience much more and to expand.
When we stop ourselves from taking the next step because our mind/ego is afraid of what will happen and how will we survive, we limit ourselves and our lives.
Now is the time to take the risk and leap.
As we practice taking such leaps, they become easier. We find we have less and less hesitation as we get to each “precipice,” and we learn to come into a different relationship with the unknown and unfamiliar. It becomes easier to see each is the next phase, cycle, part of our adventure.
And, with practice, we find that all the anticipation we imagined was far worse than any of the challenges we actually had to face along the way. Indeed, we discover that we have all that we need to face any challenges that arise. This creates a new rhythm in our lives.
With this new rhythm, we connect more deeply to our higher self and come into greater alignment with our heart and our higher mind. This alignment allows us to blossom and experience a whole new way of being human.
Take the time to meditate today and ask yourself, where are you ready to jump forward in your life? What limitations are you imposing upon yourself? Why? What can you do today to take even a small leap in the direction of your goals and dreams?
Know that you are supported and you cannot fail. Spirit is celebrating you. And, so it is!
