A Whisper Of A Thrill

I wondered…was this just a whisper, a whisper of a thrill? Or was this magic being made?

The truth is, I don’t know.

But I’m reminded of something incredibly powerful I heard a few weekends ago.

“Everything in its current expression, is only a fraction of what’s actually going on.”

This, rocked my world for many reasons, but I will tell you the main reason why.

Over the past 4-5 months, I have been working with a teacher and healer who has been helping me strengthen my links with my intuition. Intuition, when it really comes down to it, is a “knowing” without actually knowing.

The front part of your brain, the cognitive, wants to figure everything out and project certainty into the future – a place of complete uncertainty – so it will feel good and continue moving forward. But that’s a blindness in of itself. You see, when you can only look at something one way and it can only go that way, you are literally ridding yourself of the endless amounts of experiences that could really happen in that moment.

So that’s the front brain.

But the back brain – the intuitive – understands things that the cognitive part of the brain could never understand. It doesn’t function in a realm of space or time. It just functions off of what is coming.

So as I sit farther and farther back into my intuitive, I’ve started to see things and understand things that make absolutely no sense to the front part of my brain…

And the stranger part of this story is…

Most of the things I see and feel…end up actually happening.

That doesn’t mean that I don’t struggle every single day with “sitting back” and really growing connections with my intuition. You can’t turn off the front part of the brain – nor would you want to! – but there’s a time and a place to understand when it’s time to sit back and really relax into everything.

When I have shifted into the “front” lately, I hear so many damn arguments and ridiculous assumptions about what in the world is going on.

When I shift back, everything goes quiet…and all I hear is this word…

patience.

Over and over and over again. And when I ask myself…”Is this a whisper of a thrill?” I know. I know even though I’m leaving everything up to interpretation. I know even though I have absolutely no evidence to support that whisper. I just know…and over this year, I’ve been able to actually trust that…because it has never led me astray.

I’m not saying any of this is an easy task, but when I really look at the rest of my life, why would I ever expect anything to come easy?

It just is what it is.

And frankly, I’m enjoying the lessons. Lessons that I know will take me further and further into what I am meant to discover and lessons that will continue to serve me throughout my life.

There’s no telling where I am headed. Honestly. Right now, I have my eyes only on one thing which is launching this massive project I’ve been working on for the last handful of months. But after that, I have a big decision to make about where I want to end up and where I will be spending my time.

What a ride all of this has been. And there’s that whisper again…

patience

In due time, everything will reveal itself. Everything will unfold.

If you look at your life as a garden…and you’re the gardner…you will understand the care it takes to plant seeds and watch them bloom.

So bloom seeds bloom.
