The story: I was living in the quaint city of Ann Arbor, MI where I frequented my favorite little book and tea shop http://www.crazywisdom.net/. It is a great place to get your spiritual fix (yes, the happy buddha statue sitting close to me as I type is from that book shop). Back to the story, it was a sunny winter weekend in 2004 and I brought an out of town friend to this little gem of a location...I thought she could use some spiritual enlightment...ha...little did I know this particular visit was for me. My friend spotted a flyer advertising an intuitive reader on location that particular day. She glowed with excitement as she anticipated what the reader would say to help her figure out her life so I tagged along in support.
We were sitting at a little table on 2nd floor sipping our tea; waiting for this mystery reader. And then, a woman walks up the stairs and approaches our table. She said she would be right with me...my friend stared in amazement; do you know that woman? Nope was my quick response; but I figured it was the woman we awaited. My friend met with her first and it was now my turn. As I sat in front of her, she closed her eyes and asked me to place my hands on top of her palms. I followed directions and just then our hands began to float upwards. She opened her eyes and asked me to come down....down from where? She said that I was not grounded and I was no where right now. Hmm...no where?...had she forgotten about the tea shop? She went on to explain that I wasn't accepting where I was physically --I was dreaming of another place in my future--and I couldn't decide where to go. Spot on. She said I won't be sound in my decision until I feel my feet on the ground and know that I am safely where I am meant to be right now. It took an intuitive reader to tell me what I intuitively knew. I slowly began to come off of my dream cloud, accepted where I was, and the universe sent me an opportunity a mere two months later to move to DC.
Time for action: Are you floating? Do you constantly dream about what could be instead of living in the right now? Feel your feet on the ground (or your butt on your chair as you read this) and know you are exactly where you are meant to be for now. When you accept this is your path, you will make space for new opportunities as you personally develop.
