What Does it Mean to Be "Aligned"
I pulled some tarot cards today during my morning practice, and what came up was a message about the mind.
The mind can hold you prisoner, if you let it.
The mind creates:
The fear that keeps you from using your voice.
The doubt that keeps you from sharing your gifts with confidence.
The anxiety that keeps you from remembering you will be loved no matter what you do, say, or pursue.
I thought about this as I tuned into the theme for today's video share (scroll down to watch it).
And what came to me was - alignment. When you're in alignment, everything “flows”. Synchronicities happen and you easefully create with a sense of pleasure and freedom.
However, the mind can take you so far OUT of alignment, if you allow yourself to get stuck there.
The answers will always come from softening into the body, rather than prying into the mind.
The above phrase came to me after I finished the video, and I read the comment my partner had posted.
When you're up in your head, you go out of balance, feel ungrounded, not safe or secure.
Cue all the root issues like fear around finances, afraid you won't be supported, loved, or find "home".
Because…
Creativity wants to flow through you.
Abundance wants to land in your lap.
Romantic love wants to merge in divine union with your heart.
But if you're not aligned then the potential gets stuck and trapped in your body, in the places that need the most healing (which, for women, is your heart, womb, and yoni).
Alignment means you can feel the natural flow of life moving through and around you. It's the clarity to close your eyes and know the next step.
Alignment means you can hear the messages from your intuition and trust them. You can hear the messages from your body before it reaches burnout. AND you actually listen, because you know and understand at the deepest level that pausing, resting, and relaxing is what's going to be the most productive thing. Period.
Alignment means you attract people into your life who resonate with what you want. People who hold the same values, who you can trust, and who you feel safe to be yourself around.
Alignment means you receive a flow of creative inspiration, and have the courage to express the gifts within you.
Alignment means you experience the doubt, the fear, the insecurity, and you do it anyways! Because you know. YOU KNOW, that spirit/source/universe/god/higher self/etc is working through you. You know you are an instrument of the divine, and as such you will always be supported and taken care of.
Being in alignment means you can trust that literally everything is happening FOR you, and everything is a lesson or tool by which you can grow and serve in the way you came here to.
So how do you attain it, and what causes misalignment?
