Your Moment of Truth

How do we know if we are living the life that we came here to experience? This is not something that you can answer with your brain. The mind will make up all sorts of stories, but it is definitely something that you do know in your heart.

The key is to quiet the mind for long enough to hear the truth of your soul, that ancient, infinite, consistent part of you, which has been your essence since the beginning. Some like to call it the Higher Self, and this term resonates with me. I believe it is the spiritual part of us that is never ending and wise beyond measure. the part of us that is always connected to Source and knows all the answers. The part we can trust, that will never let us down.

When making important decisions or life choices, how do we know what to do? There is a 'fork in the road' - which is the correct path for us? Should we toss a coin? What if we ask our Higher Self? What if the choice has already been made for us, and we just need to 'remember' or step into it. How do we know?

Trust your feelings as a barometer of truth, your trusty inner compass. Compare the choices in front of you but not with your mind. See yourself making the first choice. FEEL what it is like to be living that choice and note the emotion attached to it. Is is a positive or negative feeling? Then imagine yourself living the life of the other option, and FEEL how that sits with you, the emotion it evokes.

Both choices may feel 'good' but only one will feel 'right'. Don't second guess yourself. Nobody knows better than you. Trust your guidance.your instincts will never let you down.

Now of course 'knowing' is just the beginning. Even if you trust your feelings, nothing will change unless you take action. You must step into your Truth! It may feel like a leap of faith, but don't worry. No one ever feels  prepared for momentous change. And know this - the bigger the need to pursue this path, and the greater your soul purpose is, the more your ego will try to talk you out of it! The ego does not like change, and doesn't even want you to succeed. It will throw up doubt and fear and judgment and a host of curly questions.

Try to recognize this chatter in your head for what it is. Allow it to pass by and don't buy into it. Keep sinking into your heart space. Be still and hear your wise old soul. It's message will be positive, clear and repetitive.

You will learn to love and trust your Higher self. You will find more strength and beauty there than you ever imagined. This is a journey of the inner world. A connection with yourself that you may have denied or perhaps even feared. But only love and truth exists there.

Communing with your higher wisdom always brings you into the present moment, the here and now of this very existence. And the present moment is the only place where we can experience love and healing. It is all we have and we must cherish it.

There is nothing to fear about learning to love and trust yourself more. In fact it may open up a whole new world for you. You may learn a lot about what 'makes you tick', find a new sense of purpose, or even accept yourself fully for the first time ever! It's a great feeling, as if all the pieces have fallen into place. A new sense of pride and belonging, that is very nurturing. Criticism and judgment fall away, and self belief flourishes. you are ready to do what you want, what you NEED in fact! You can let go of all the conditioning, and surpass the 'shoulds' and musts' you have accumulated along the way.

You know now that it is only right when it FEELS right. Intuition can be very powerful. We have all heard stories of it saving lives. So trust your instinct, your gut feeling. It can be accurate guidance about the path ahead. Tune in to it often and it will become even clearer. Your stress melts away as you connect with this 'knowing'. It brings you to a warm and fuzzy place where you feel strong, and you feel LOVED. The outside world stands still, just for a moment - this moment, your moment, the moment of Truth.
