The synchronicities have continued. Small things, insignificant things that I hope (and expect) will give way to more profound. For instance, I was listening to CBC Radio in the car and they were talking about the best Canadian music of the 80s- they played a sample of a Rush song, just 30 seconds or so and at that exact moment I was driving behind someone with Florida plates that had the city name Lee on it (if you are not a big nerd like me, this is noteworthy because Geddy Lee is the lead singer).

I also went to my father's house and he had rented Green Lantern. I was not enthusiastic about seeing it because frankly, I could live the rest of my life without ever having to see a Ryan Reynolds act, however comic book movies and conspiracy theories are the things my dad and I bond over so I decided to suck it up and watch. I am very aware that the message is not why people typically choose these kinds of films, but my mind just naturally seeks higher truth and tends to find what it seeks in the most unexpected places, this was no exception. The Green Lantern's power is that of changing thought into matter. The hero must learn to master the art of focus and visualize what he wants to create in the material realm. Perfectly aligned with what I am trying to figure out.

I returned home and had several things to do before my meditation. I decided not to listen to a pre-recorded guided meditation, but rather do some deep breathing and try something Ingerman describes in her book. She suggests that one try saying various statements that are true and others that are not true to see how the body feels in each instance. I said several true things, for instance about loving people in my family, and my pets and noticed that my heart kind of had a tingly sensation. Then I began to say things that were not true for me. For example, that eating meat was the right thing to do or that people in the world deserve to suffer. Interestingly, when I said these things, it felt as if my heart was being compressed, like someone was standing on my chest. It made me think a lot about how the body tried to tell us things in very subtle ways and we are often moving at too fast a pace to recognize these subtle voices.

After this exercise, I decided to cut the energy cord that has connected me to a person in my life who has recently become toxic. If you have never heard of doing this, I highly recommend doing some research on it. It is, like many other forms of energy work, powered primarily by intention. HERE and HERE are a couple of websites that discuss the purpose and process. It was a very intense experience after which I drifted peacefully to sleep.

This morning I woke to the following in an email from the Universe:

"Whatever you want, Natalie, dwell upon the end result and move. I'll connect the dots."

If you don't already get them, you too can get inspiring daily emails from the Universe HERE.
