Before we begin, I want to make this abundantly clear that this article is for those who are called into Truth. To know and ever more deeply live their Truth. To set themselves free. If you are happy plodding through life and your main goal is to avoid discomfort and expansion and change at all cost, please stop reading here. This article is not for you.
Onwards.
Ok. I’m glad you are still here. It’s nice to have company on this journey. I am convinced it is one reserved for the brave.
The truth is you Know. And you Know you Know.
Hopefully.
You may even listen sometimes.
Or you may not.
Whether you are in the first category or the second, the universe has a persistent way of nudging you ever closer to your Knowing.
In my case it goes something like this…
[Universe] I think I’ll be gentle at first. Ok let’s start with a silent, subtle approach. Cue - little Knowing tap on the shoulder.
[Me] …. continues to clean the dishes.
[Universe] Nothing? Ok, maybe we were too subtle. Let’s up the ante just a little. Cue - butterflies in the tummy and a little mental nudge.
[Me] That’s an uncomfortable feeling, better distract myself with something realtively meaningless.
[Universe] Again? Nothing? Really? Ok, surely this time. We’ve been through this enough in the past! Cue - little trip over an unidentified object on the floor. Most likely a bit of paper. Resulting in a stubbed toe. Always on my right foot.
[Me] … FFS. Ouch. Rub. Having a bit of a rough time today. Continue on my way.
[Universe] Oh for God’s sake. Come on Luce. Don’t make us go through this again. Please, please, please. [Waits in hope that it will all sink in]. Ok, here we go. Buckle up. Cue - big trip over a stone while taking out the rubbish, resulting in a broken toe, or foot. Always on the right. Forced to sit down (literally, sometimes for weeks, crutches in hand), listen and redirect.
Given it has been a long, winding, arduous, inconvenient and sometimes painful journey for me, into deeper relationship with my Knowing, I thought I would note down a few tips here to save you the hassle of the broken feet.
But first, let’s clear something up. I am not talking about mind knowing. I am talking about soul Knowing. The kind that originates from somewhere deeper and more True than your mind. The kind that guides you away from murky waters before you get bogged. The kind that is always steering you towards your expansion in this lifetime. Towards more joy, Truth, beauty and ultimately freedom. Towards greater Knowing of yourself and life itself. Albeit sometimes through the challenge, discomfort and grief that is required for expansion.
Ok, now to the tips. How to connect more deeply to your Knowing.
Tip 1: Build a relationship. Get to Know her. She has a different voice.
The greatest interference to our Knowing is our mind because they are so similar in function, although vastly different in nature. The knowing of our mind is constantly busy trying to protect us from seen and unseen threats. To keen us safe (thank you mind). It is constructing this understanding from past experience as this is all it has to go on. And in today’s world, with the amount of information we have access too, this is happening at an increasingly rapid rate. The voice of our mind is urgent, protective, dictatorial, pressured, rushed, manic, buzzing, excited. Sometimes I call him Nigel. For me, his messages often shows up in my body with feelings of anxiety, urgency, mania, excitement attached. I now Know these are not soul Truth. They are of my mind. By contrast, the Knowing of your soul comes from a frequency of deep Truth. The place where time doesn’t exist and there is no rush. She is grounded, clear, awake, present, potent and wise. Unwavering. This shows up in my body as a grounded, calm feeling. Often this Knowing is something that makes no sense to Nigel and sends him into overdrive. But then again, why would it? The soul is always creating the new.
Tip 2: Make space: Be quiet
It’s really very simple. And, like most simple things, really hard to do. The noise we are exposed to in this life is immense. It comes from our external world and space but also Nigel. Simply put, you cannot hear and feel your Knowing and get to Know her if you are constantly busy; if you are always in the noise of life. You need to create space. Create quiet. For me the best way to do this is walking in nature. I struggle to meditate regularly.
The other thing that has helped me immensely is to stop consuming so much and to become VERY discerning about what I am consuming. This has meant deleting most of the apps from my phone. Working on the screen only when I work and only after connecting to my Knowing first and receiving the guidance I need for the day. The more we are in our own frequency, the more she can share with us and the greater our capacity to hear. This is VITAL if you are called to run a soul-led business or live a soul-led life.
Tip 3: Act
Coherence is the key. In areas of life where we have coherence between our Knowing, beliefs, mental dialogue, emotions, body and actions, change is rapid and things strengthen. Where we have a lack of coherence, the frequency wobbles. We wobble, things take longer, change is more sticky. The more you act on your Knowing, the deeper your relationship with her becomes. The more space she has to be Known to you and the more trust you build together.
So, if your path is leading you into more Truth, joy, beauty, freedom and wealth in all the ways, your Knowing is your greatest guide. To harness this and build a foundation of unshakable Trust, get to know her. Create space and get quiet. Act on your knowings. Always if you can. Also, immediately fire all “teachers” that guide you away from yourself and your Knowing. They cannot know. No one can. And they are creating more noise.
If this resonates for you and you try these tips, please let me know how you found it. Whether you saw the result of more freedom and joy available to you. Whether you blew your own mind.
And I will let you know if I break any more toes.
Onwards brave ones.
