I am going to tell you a little secret of mine that I don’t often confess. I hardly ever know how to get from point A to point B. Anytime I have ever had a vision and worked to put those dreams into action, my logical mind and her grandiose ideas of how to accomplish my goals are never actually completely accurate. EVER.

What does happen though, is this amazing dance I do with my spirit. Visions that I have seen start to swirl together as pieces snap into place, ideas begin to align, and thoughts that perhaps drifted through my mind months or even years back, begin to make sense as the bigger picture takes shape and unfolds before me. But never in all of that time, is it my logical mind that comes up with the solution or puts me into action. No matter how many hours I spend in contemplation, the answers that bring true momentum and change never come from my mind or my personal preferences. They come from my soul.

I tell you this why?? To admit how wrong my logical mind always is?! LOL. Not really. More so, for you to understand that no matter how much I have manifested or how many fears and hurdles I have climbed, it has never once been the directive of my own opinions and judgments that brought those changes into being. It was always been by listening to the more subtle nudges from my soul.

I have actually been known to swear up and down I will never do something, and then all of a sudden change my direction because in a moment of soulful clarity, I will remember visions I have had, discussions with my guides that have taken place, and insights that have crossed my inner mind. And it is at that point, regardless of how scared, insecure or unprepared I feel, I do listen and take those leaps of faith to put change into action. Always.

I actually do puzzles in the same manner. I may look at the pieces, try to plan out the best way to start the process, or over-analyze the colours and shapes extensively. But when I truly move into the flow of my spirit, I don’t even need to look at what piece I am about to place, I just do. I follow the nudge and can clearly see how it fits into the bigger picture without looking at the shape, colour, or orientation. I just move forward with faith and the pieces snap into place.

Remember this little secret of mine the next time you spend hours upon hours trying to find the answer or figure out a solution on how to proceed. Divine timing is a two part process that involves waiting for the stars to align, while being bold enough to reach for the stars. Your soul will always let you know when it is yet again time to take another leap. In the mean time, enjoy where you are now. There is no need to rush at this thing we call life. The stars always align in their own time. Reach for them, but then remember to enjoy the view from the present moment.
Namaste,

Lauren Heistad
