I’m a Wordler.
In case you haven't heard of Wordle, it's an online guessing game where you need an endless supply of five-letter words to play.
My go-to opening word is "audio" or "ocean.” Either is a great starter, especially if you find vowels to be key to solving the puzzle.
But sometimes, a random five-letter word floats into my head while I'm half asleep. If I'm lucky, I'll remember the word when I sit down to play.
The other morning, I didn’t forget the word the universe gave me. I solved that day’s puzzle in two tries. Yes, me, who usually averages four guesses! I was tickled pink.
When the universe plays Wordle with me or gives me a cosmic wink at 11:11 on my watch, I feel energized. Why don't I make it a habit to seek this voice out more often?
And not just the silly stuff, but the big important stuff. I've had inspired epiphanies before on major life events. I know they can happen for me.
Yet, I'm not always sure the universe has my back. Operating on a did-I-really-just-hear-that-right revelation could land me in a pile of 💩 💩 💩. Sometimes I feel an urge to try something, and it doesn’t go as I want it to. That makes me wary to take any more chances.
We're supposed to avoid risk. We are certainty-seeking machines. Our brain loves regular patterns and steady routines to save on precious energy.
Our nervous system likes boring predictability, too. It's constantly scanning, searching for scary stuff (like lions, tigers, and bears) to activate the flight or fight system. The nervous system is always on, waiting to see that one thing that doesn’t belong.
Certainty = Good Uncertainty = Bad
Certainty makes the world go round, my friend. Ask your boss…or your cat.
It's reckless to listen to an untested system like “the voice,” especially if you haven't had a win in a while.
Yet new joys await if you are brave enough to dip your toe in the cosmic wilderness located just outside ye olde comfort zone. Do you know what else you'll find there?
Synchronicity.
Why should you care about synchronicity?
A synchronicity is a spiritual event. It’s the beautiful song between your Higher Self and the Divine.
A synchronicity is a holy orchestration that you, a mere human, on your best day, couldn't create. Synchronicities are meant to happen. They’re shiver-inducing, awe-inspiring, WTF-just-happened events. You know them when you see them, and no one will be able to tell you otherwise.
When we trust we’re co-creators, a synchronicity confirms we're cared for and guided. It’s a shift in thinking from it’s just me to the divine We.
🌟 💫 ✨ more trust ➡️ active listening ➡️ sacred synchronicity 🌟 💫 ✨
The next time you experience a sacred synchronicity, hop on that gratitude vibe and thank God, the Divine Mother, and the Infinite Universe for its blessings.
Need help listening and recognizing the voice? Meditation is a great place to start. We meditate together in The Bliss Beneath online classes.
There will be one last class for 2022 to celebrate the Winter Solstice on Tuesday, December 20th at 7 p.m. It’s a free class and suitable for for all levels. You can let me know next week if you plan to attend.
A new four-class course starts on January 3rd. More details next week.
