 Have you fallen asleep at the wheel when driving or experienced a near miss? It can be a frightening experience. On moment your eyes are on the road seeing far ahead and the next moment you are jarred awake bullrushes flying past the windows as you sail through a ditch. A detour sign sighted in your rear view mirror. Wow that can be so unnerving. Your heart races, your palms clammy, you breakout in sweat and you pray in gratitude to your angels for having you land where you did in one piece! The same thing can happen on our spiritual road. One moment you are on a path that is easy to navigate and the next moment you are deep in a field of “what the heck” and “how did I end up here?” As a driver you took precautions, you took lessons to learn how to navigate sticky situations, you had the car properly serviced and you had a map to follow directions. It was when you pushed the envelope and you did not listen to the cues coming from your body about fatigue and taking enough breaks to be able to handle the drive and having an alternate route for that detour up ahead. It was in the cheeky mode (ego) of I can do this if I just push on through. It will be fine! Hmmmm. I bet you are rethinking that as you dial up a tow truck and open the car door to have water come in soaking those brand new designer shoes. We have our spiritual practices to assist us on our road. It can be meditation, clearing our chakras, prayer, addressing the energy in our fields that is not flowing but rather stopping our experiences that are to be filled with grace and ease. All of a sudden you feel like you are walking through sludge. Everyday seems to have one crisis after another. And when did everyone start becoming so negative, sheesh? And fatigue it feels like something has put a tap on you and turned it on to drain you of vitality, creativity and joy. Yup, it is spiritual narcolepsy. I first heard this expression coined by Colette Baron Reid an Oracle Master. And I love it. It really does embody what happens. When we fall asleep spiritually we forget what we are here to do, the path we are to follow and most importantly we set aside our spiritual practices.
This usually leads us to push the envelope until we wake up flying through life swatting at the bullrushes that are holding us back.
Falling asleep at the spiritual wheel can be the wakeup call you need. Kinda weird how that happens eh? So then we start looking around, eyes wide open, on alert to what we missed while taking our spiritual nap. We see where we had stopped meditating, exercising, praying and clearing out the energy crud. (Yup, crud that’s my highly technical term). Once we begin to lean into our power, set aside time for ourselves, use our spiritual guidebook for directions; we see that life begins to flow again with more grace and ease. I am happy to help! I can’t help you with those damp designer shoes. I can help you to awaken from your Spiritual Narcolepsy. Until next time, Barbara Your Guide Through Life Transitions
