This is what I'm thinking about...

Challenge offered...will you accept?

I recently re-did a yoga theme that I first presented back in 2013. It was a challenge taken from a book called E-Squared by Pam Grout. The challenge is to dedicate yourself to being completely open to the signs from the Universe for 48 hours. I will explain, but first, I want you to know that this yoga class can be found on YouTube if you would like to hear more about this and get some instruction from me on setting intentions. The link is below.

E-Squared is a book that sets out to prove that the Universe is listening to our requests and needs. It is a fabulous book for skeptics, in my opinion. I believe the Universe answers everything we ask. You may be thinking, that is not so! Perhaps you asked for help in some regard via a sign, and it never came. Or you put forth a prayer for a sign and it, too, never came. I have to tell you from my personal, non-scientifically proven opinion that the sign did come to you. It just wasn't in the direction you were looking or format you were expecting.

I am hoping you will join me in this challenge. You will simply designate 48 hours in which you will wholeheartedly be open to seeing and receiving a message from the Universe. Write down the day and time you wish to start and say or write NOW. If you get sidetracked in those 48 hours by an external factor called Life, you may want to reset and start over. Then, set the very simple and open-ended intention by saying, "It is my intention to be completely open and receptive for 48 hours to whatever sign the Universe provides me with as proof of its responsive existence." You can change the words; just keep the statement positively worded. And, at this point, let's not make the request for a sign pertaining a specific matter. All that is left to do is sit back, wide-eyed and open-hearted. Look for unexpected phone calls, white feathers, your loved one's favorite bird, unexpected good news (which, unfortunately, leaves itself wide open in this day and time) etc, etc, etc. It could be anything that is out of the ordinary or hopeful or meaningful to you.

Then, come back to this blog and leave a comment as to what occurred for you. I can't wait to hear from you:)

Within 30 minutes of stating and writing my intention with the add on “and any signs or messages from my Mom“ I heard Angel by Jimi Hendrix first song up on shuffle!

Warning... this Is long.

“NOW” began for me the morning of Saturday, July 4th. My oldest daughter and family were visiting us at the lake and the remaining family was to come for a day of boating, kayaking and a BBQ on the 5th. I set my intention to surround myself with the fullness of family love for the next 48 hours. Not knowing for sure how the universe would fulfill my intention, I was determined to consciously watch for signs.

To understand the emotion I experienced, it is important to know that my mom, who in the words of my youngest daughter, was “the embodiment of grace and a strength delivered with a benevolent touch” had two special nature loves - butterflies and hummingbirds.

Shortly after I embarked on a 5k walk with my daughter and her two daughters (one on foot, the younger on bike), we were all startled by a beautiful butterfly that flew up directly in front of us. I calmly thought “hello mom, coming with us today”?

While Sunday was somewhat chaotic with the entire family gathering, I embraced the love all around as we relished the time together more than ever, likely due to the 4 month separation. Later that evening after all had left for home except my oldest daughter and family, we took a sunset boat ride. I have very little creativity in my bones, but do love to imagine pictures in the clouds which I now understand as signs. In the first cluster of clouds, I saw an image of our last two dogs lying together. My daughter looked at the same cloud formation and saw something completely different. Everyone’s perspective is different I guess. As we we were heading back to dock, I pointed to a single cloud and announced to my daughter she could not deny that was a bird.....we both exclaimed at the same time that it was a hummingbird!! She took a picture.

I calmly thought “goodnight mom, thanks for being with us this weekend, your love was felt abundantly”. And thank you Sandra for this challenge. It was an amazing experience.
