Do you sometimes wake up and wonder precisely what you are getting out of bed for? Does life seem like a never-ending chore? We have all, at one time or another, felt disenchanted with our lives. I used to look up at the sky and wish that I was as free to fly as the soaring birds. I felt trapped, contained by the world and all that was in it. But, one day I realised that I had crafted myself a box that obscured my vision and by breaking down its walls I could taste freedom. Where once my eyes were firmly closed, they are now open wide and what I see is both exquisitely beautiful and heartbreakingly devastating, because there is joy to be found in the world, but also a great deal of pain, inflicted by humankind onto the earth and onto other human beings. If we would all just let our souls soar, it could be so very different. I discovered my path through learning a healing therapy called Reiki and it was a life transforming experience.

I have always been blessed, but now I can see and appreciate it because I truly have the freedom that comes from an intuitive connection, faith in the universe and knowledge that I am on my spiritual path and that no matter what happens in this life, I will be ok. The greatest gift you have is a glorious soul and it is longing for you to pursue your higher path and discover the truth of yourself and the universe.

We should all be asking ourselves the question, “Why am I here?” and dedicating ourselves to finding the answer, because it is only when we make this magnificent discovery that we experience happiness, freedom and enlightenment. It saddens me that so many beautiful souls are restrained and ignored because those souls need to be free.

You need to let your soul guide your body and make the right choices for you. Forget everything that you have ever been told and look within yourself for answers. You have all the answers you need. It is just a matter of awakening your intuition and never deviating from its flawless guidance.

It is easy to say, “Trust in your intuition,” but it is not so easy to do it. Our upbringing, environment and societal conditioning inform who we think we are, when most of us don’t really know who we are. It took me a while to get to grips with my intuition, but over time the myriad of conflicting voices in my head were replaced with one powerful and guiding voice, the voice of my soul. Your intuition is never wrong. Our lives often take a turn for the worst because we are not listening to our intuition and we find ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. When we adhere to the wisdom of our intuition, then and only then do we find ourselves in the right place at the right time and life flows as it should.

Try to remain aware of what is going on around you and within your life. We are often presented with vital signs by the universe, but we are sometimes oblivious to them. It is better not to search too hard, but to let go to the will of the universe, allow the universe to guide you rather than trying to retain tight control over your life.

One of the greatest misapprehensions held by many people is that they have control. In real terms we all have very little control and when you set foot on your spiritual path you will feel like the universe is making all your choices for you, the pressure to maintain control dissipates and you come to enjoy the wonderful path that you are on. Keep your eyes and ears open. Look beyond the facade of the world and see what is really going on. Be objective about your own life and about others. Take time out to be by yourself, without any external distractions and just see where your mind takes you.

Jesus Christ is alleged to have said on many occasions, “All who have ears ought to listen.” Every single one of us should be listening to our intuition. You are amazing, you know so much. Allow yourself to hear that knowledge and to see the truth. Grow wings and look down on the world absorbing the bigger picture. Cast down the walls of the box surrounding you and let your radiant soul soar.
