The Power of Aligning With Your Wise Inner Being

I woke up yesterday feeling emotional turmoil. I was angry, I was sad. I was frustrated.

And I had noooo idea why.

I had plans. But I cancelled them. I contemplated the idea of hiding under a rock (my doona) and spending the day in bed.

Then I stopped for a moment to ask myself the important questions. What did I need? What was I craving? Turned out, the answers came quite quickly – I was craving adventure. I was craving me-time.

I needed to feel the wind in my hair and the sun on my shoulders! I needed to feel free.

So, I got in the car, favourite music playing and I just started driving.

At first I didn’t know where I was actually going. So again, I asked for guidance from my wise inner-being… and once again the answers came and I found myself driving up into the hills. I weaved my way along the winding roads, and arrived at one of my favourite destinations in my neck of the woods – Hahndorf. Originally settled by Germans following world war II, this little town with it’s tree-lined streets and original quaint stone cottages is absolutely beautiful.

 

 

 

I stopped and had a tarot and palm reading with an old friend, teacher and sage who does beautiful readings in Hahndorf on a Sunday afternoon. He is the best!

The reading filled me with positive vibes and a sense of peace as I headed off along the street in search of some nourishing food and exciting things that I knew awaited me…..

 

 

I stumbled upon the delightful Kitchen 2C with their yummy lunch menu and rustic ambience… I stopped for some delicious sweet potato soup with crusty rye! The girls were gorgeous and even gave me extra bread! Gratitude 🙂

 

 

I ate my yummy soup and then found a shady spot under a big old tree to relax after lunch. It was time for me to process and clear my emotions from the morning (yes I’m a complex creature) and what better way to do that than to write!

I felt like I had received some amazing insights about the path forward for me over the next few months. I find that readings are often confirmation of what I already know. A reminder that my own wise inner-being already has the answers.

The ironic thing is, I have spent many years soul searching, studying Buddhism, learning about the Universe, law of attraction and ‘the meaning of life’ and still I find myself looking ‘outside myself’ for answers at times. Buddha said “what we seek, we are”, meaning that the answers to all questions in the Universe are within us, if we can only be silent enough to look within and find them. I understand all this. But what can I say? I love Tarot, and always find myself going back for more (I love doing readings for others too)! Maybe that makes me a walking contradiction, but I’m ok with that!

Before I left Hahndorf, I stopped for some retail therapy…. finding a pretty little gift for a friend (can you believe this is carved into an avacado seed/pit)?

 

…and a beautiful gypsy dress….

 

 

What I loved about yesterday, was the flow of it. Time was no issue. I had nowhere else to be, except enjoying my adventure. I felt so good because I was taking time out to connect with my inner wise being. To nurture the part of me that wanted to feel excitement, and enjoy the simple things, like a bowl of delicious soup and wandering about in the sunshine.

 

So I ask you, what do you do to align with your inner being?

When was the last time you truly felt free?

Peace out xx
