At times of transition, when its clear there’s no way to turn back or to stay where you are, you are called to venture into the uncharted:the unfamiliar experiences that will help you evolve into the person you are meant to become. Feeling disoriented will probably amplify your anxiety, but don’t run away! If you can face your fears and trust Spirit, you can take advantage of this opportunity for radical and wonderful transformation. In the uncharted places, ancient mariners warned, “There be dragons”—and yes, they were right that there are reasons to be scared when you are feeling disoriented and unsure of where to go and what to do. But in the uncharted places, there be magic, too. In the uncharted, miracles begin to happen—if you let them.
While your ego, or small self, freaks out over the uncertainty about where you are and what to do next to create the life you long for, your true self knows it is always connected to Spirit and the potential for miracles. Spirit offers you abundance and infinite potential. It awakens you out of your spiritual amnesia and reminds you of who you truly are: someone with inherent and essential goodness that your small self is too often blind to. So much joy is waiting for you if you become quiet, go within, and connect with Spirit! The possibilities for cocreation are endless.
So about those dragons—they are your personal power and you don’t have to fear them. Drawing on your personal strengths, you can change your life and the world around you. Don’t be scared just because you are challenged to face the parts of yourself that made you feel embarrassed, ashamed, or unworthy. You didn’t trust yourself before but now you can. You can start to realize just how deeply you have underestimated yourself and your potential to do something amazing in this lifetime. You can experience your soul in all its glory and many facets. You can actually feel your soul’s worth. Suddenly, you’ll see small self crying out, “No, I can’t! Not me!” and smile at how small that fear has grown.
Here’s the secret of the uncharted: If you can orient yourself in the Realm of Spirit, reconnecting with Spirit and your true self that has far more wisdom and courage than your small self ever will, you wake up and see clearly what you have to do: Trust. Have faith. Reclaim your power. Let the miracles start to unfold.
From your soul’s perspective, with Spirit as your guiding light illuminating what you need to know, you will see your weaknesses can also be strengths—and you’ll reclaim them. You will discover you are worthy of taking charge of your life and of cocreating what you desire. If people become jealous, you’ll know that’s about them, not you. If they reject you, it’s their loss—other friends and allies will take their place in your tribe. You’ll know this because Spirit will be there to remind you it’s true.
Within, connected to Spirit and feeling that in every cell of your being, you recognize that in your everyday life, you need to start letting your brave and extraordinary soul express itself. The world wants and needs you to be who you came here to be.
How do you enter the Realm of Spirit? By phoning “home”—choosing to reconnect to Spirit who gave birth to you and everyone else. It doesn’t matter whether you do it through your intuition, meditation, or prayer. The divine consciousness that is Spirit, known by many names and taking many forms, has infinite ways to get your attention and get across the message that you are not alone—not ever. Listen to the gentle nudge to wake up and reconnect. When you’re scared and feeling unsettled, become still and quiet so you can go from fear in the uncharted waters to the Realm of Spirit. There, miracles begin as energy and thought and you become like the caterpillar in the chrysalis, evolving into the person you were meant to be, dreaming of all the miracles that you will co-create.
The magic of the uncharted awaits!
