Welcome to the Soul Growth Sessions,
A place to nurture your soul and awaken your potential.
Sometimes the thing we want most keeps trying to come to us but it can't fully land because we're trying so hard to manifest it.
One time not so long ago I was really frustrated with where I was at in life.
I took myself on a walk up this hill to get out of a bad mood that I was in.
The wind was wild that day and it kept blasting me in the face the whole way there.
When I got to the top I had the most amazing view of the landscape that stretched out far off into the horizon.
I had this sudden urge to then look down at my feet for some reason and right there in the long grass was a single feather with the most striking pattern and colours.
I had the idea to make a wish by setting my intention into this feather and let the wind carry it away.
So I held it in my hand and I thought hard about what I wanted.
I thought about every little detail that I could imagine,
Building a clear picture in my mind and then when I felt ready I let the feather go.
The wind took it for a second and then the wind fired the feather straight back into the long grass in front of me.
So I tried again.
I thought hard about all the details,
Seeing what I wanted clearly in my mind and letting the feather go so the wind could take it.
It flew a little further this time,
After just two seconds,
Same again,
Fired straight down into the long grass in front of me.
I actually thought that the wind was messing with me at the time.
I thought is this for real?
The wind was so strong how could this little feather not be carried off into the distance?
Something weird must be going on.
So I stopped for a second and I took a breath,
Laughed at myself since I was literally cursing at the wind.
It was clearly giving me some sort of sign that I was missing something.
So I relaxed a little bit more and tried again.
I held the feather in my hand,
I thought about what I wanted,
I thought about the wish I was making and this time I asked myself what do I really want?
And I found the feeling I was looking for and as soon as I did,
A strong gust of wind snatched the feather from my hand before I was ready to let it go.
The feather soared high up into the air and way off into the horizon until it faded into the distance.
I knew in that moment that something special had just happened and I realized an important lesson the wind was trying to tell me.
We want to manifest something into our lives,
We need to find the feeling then not to let go of the feeling itself but to let go of the feeling of trying to make it happen.
This allows your dreams to truly fly and it gives them space to land.
I hope something here resonated with you today and offered a little piece of clarity.
Thank you so much for listening and until next time,
Take care my friend.
