Today my friend Lavinia told me that during her morning meditation, she received guidance to change her plans for the summer. And she decided to follow her intuition. I love that she has the courage to be in her truth and follow her guidance.
During this Mercury Retrograde Period (and many of you notice how volatile it is) we must be grounded in the moment, be aware of our current reality (one of the main competencies of emotional intelligence) and be willing to be flexible and change plans.
One of the stories told of Mahatma Gandhi, was that he started to lead a march to protest against the British and after a few days he saw that it was going to have some bad consequences… so he stopped the march.
People came up to him and said, "Mahatma Ji you can’t do this, people left their jobs, they left their homes and they’re taking great risks to follow you. You can’t stop now."
And Gandhi replied: "I’m only human I don’t understand all. My understanding of truth changes from day to day. My commitment is to truth not to consistency… I’m sorry if that upsets you."
Think about it. If your security is based on being who you thought you were supposed to be and now Spirit is nudginung you in another direction, can you allow yourself to let go of the old and move into the unknown? Do you dare to shift course? Is your commitment to consistency greater than your commitment to truth?
Until next time,
