I have to admit I'm often the random weirdo people look up in the small hours of the night. I'm the go-to for those moments when you wake up and you just think "fuck. what the hell am I doing?". That's an interesting position to be in. And I've been there too, so I know.
Many clients when they're in that boat know it's not just one thing that needs to shift. It's all of it. But that's a daunting prospect and it's one our rational, functional, 'get up and go to work and act like everything's normal' mind would love to manage. Hence the reading. Get the answer, make the change. Zero downtime from work. Job done.
Nice try.
When these questions come in from clients I'm pretty sure I can hear the wet slap sound of your guides' hand hitting their forehead in vexation. See, in the spiritual realm, your convenience counts for shit. It's all about helping you to really live your life. And that's not something that can be neatly scheduled.
The truth you know but don't know you know
Here's where the guidance comes in. It's not about telling you what to do. No "apply for this other job at Safe & Co, wear the purple tie not the blue one, and it's in the bag". It's not even "pack it all in, become a yoga teacher then get a van and go and drink a load of ayahuasca". That was my journey. It doesn't need to be yours. It's subtler than that. And what I feel from people's guides is just how sophisticated the way they work actually is. It's a tender, loving nudge. A reminder of something that used to light you up. A recognition of the ways you had to mould yourself to fit to the point where you forgot your real shape. And permission to do things differently.
The simple and obvious answer is – it's up to you what you do with your life. There are no 'shoulds'. Even if you came to this incarnation with some specific soul purpose, you don't need anyone to tell you that, you'll get there by following what feels right to you, one way or another. So you can't go really wrong if you take that approach.
A leap of faith
The truth is, what's often required of us isn't answers, it's the willingness to take a leap of faith. To stand for whatever it is we stand for without any guarantees. To follow what lights you up and to bring with you those parts that would rather stay safe and small.
I've learned that lesson through hard-won experience and so I think that's why people who are in this are guided to me. I won't be the one to try to solve your problems to seem 'good'. That would rob you of the very opportunity this whole mess is trying to create for you. Instead, I'm the one that can guide you on how to twist and turn as you jump and work out how to fly. And that's a much more rewarding role to be in.
Taking the reins
Sometimes a small shift is actually all it needs. A new hobby. A different way of approaching what you're already doing. I had one client who learned to voice her opinions to her boss and peers — not a confrontation, not a career change, just saying what she was already thinking. From there she thrived. It was all she needed. For many people it doesn't have to be a total overhaul straight away. That's also where healing comes in. It's what gets everything moving.
