‘Awakening’. If you’ve heard of it, know about it, been through it… you know it’s pretty powerful stuff and will be/is/has been a pivotal point in your life. Or maybe you are going through something now and you are wondering what the heck is happening to you…..well, you just may be moving on up to the next level of life my friends. It’s kind-of like a light bulb moment…except there is 500 light bulbs, and you’re not quite sure where all these light bulbs have come from…and then leaves you thinking ‘feck it’s bright in here, and I’m not sure if this is good or bad’? Then you’re left trying to figure out what to do with all these fricken’ light bulbs. In a less metaphorical gibberish term….it’s something really big… and while at the time it may seem confusing, you’ve actually got some really cool stuff up ahead of you if you choose to embrace this pivotal turning point in your life and just let go and be guided to where you’re meant to be (disclaimer: it does involves a lot of really hard work).
Unfortunately positive change doesn’t mean it comes about all straight forward with butterflies, rainbows and pots of gold – Cinderella still got to a sweet place in the end but even she still had to go through losing her damn diamond encrusted shoe. Everyone’s experiences with a big pivotal turning point in life is quite different….some people don’t experience this until later in life, some people don’t experience it at all, some people do experience something and then the change freaks em’ out and they try ignore it and/or cover up their inner discoveries with a myriad of other things to distract from it because change is flippen’ scary. Usually, quite kindly and thoughtfully by the universe, an awakening experience is delivered to us with a huge mother of life bomb experience, whether that be a job loss/career move, financial shakeup, relationship breakup, home life upheaval, being unwillingly pushed out of your comfort zone, having uncertainty of the future, or in my case all of the above, at the same time. It could also involve very weird mystical/scary/unnerving experiences such as being extremely confused and lost, health problems, a loss of a loved one or having a near death experience….but……. in whatever way it is delivered to you in most cases it leaves you thinking ‘WTF just happened?’. In hindsight, in my experience the extent of that big life roundhouse kick could have been dulled down a notch had I listened to my prior instinct, through a series of conversations in my head in the previous year with my good friend intuition going a little like this:
Me: “I know this situation doesn’t feel right….I’ll just ignore that.” Intuition: “Hellooooo?!?”
Me: “Wow I’m becoming really unhappy now, but I’m just going to try my best to make this work and pretend it’s all OK and keep ignoring this feeling” Intuition: “Yeah that’s me telling you to sort it out…like, now.”
Me: “I’m pretty drained of everything now…but it’s all good hahaha, smileeessss “ Intuition: “GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT”
Me: “What’s happiness again? I forget.” Intuition: “…….I’m sending in a life tsunami.”
Nowadays it seems its a common human response to ignore our friend intuition (for examples refer to previous Order Of Life’s Events blog about following what ‘society says’) but as the universe will eventually show us that if we don’t listen…shit hits the fan. Nonetheless I don’t look at this period in my life as a bad thing, and while at the time I wouldn’t go as far as to say that my life being played tiddly winks with was a good thing…I do look at it as a very necessary and actually quite amazing part of my life. There was a period where it was definitely unsettling, unnerving, upsetting, dark and blimen’ scary (writing poetry and having chocolate close by helped, as did all night Pinterest benders) but thankfully at the same time as I had this ‘WTF just happened’ moment, I also had the best support network swoop in and I found the courage to let go and let life take me where I should be. Now I look back at that time, smile, raise a glass to and say ‘well played universe, well played’.
Then from there, an awakening experience is also accompanied by some pretty mind blowing ‘coincidences’, which in time your mind blowing coincidences will become weirdly normal and expected. Once upon a time when you’d say ‘oh my gosh I can’t believe it, what are the chances!’ you’ll say ‘oh yep hi universe, you’re out in force today with your signs’ (I’ll go into this more in later blogs).
Again, everyone’s experience with this varies A LOT. For me I’ve had very gradual and steady progress with growth of ‘higher consciousness’ over the last few years….and I’ll be talking a lot in mystical speech around here, so for those of you who are wondering what ‘higher consciousness’ is I can only describe it as knowing a hell of a lot more stuff than you used to…..and you’ll see things with a very different perspective (the stories about the Kardashian’s and waist training and other pointless shit will probably annoy you 100x more). If this blog resonates with anyone and you feel like you need/want to talk to someone about it or swap life tsunami stories, please feel free to email me and in the meantime take solace in the knowledge that life tsunamis have purpose in its destruction (YOU GET TO RE-BUILD SOMETHING A MILLION TIMES BETTER! YEOW!). You too will also look back and raise a glass to it one day soon.
Peace/Love
