Just Believe!

Just believe and the Universe will find a way to reach to you in the most unexpected way.

The truth is that we are never alone and having said that, I don’t mean other humans around us. I mean, ‘the spirit guides’, ‘the guiding angels’, ‘our higher self’, ‘God’ or whatever you would like to call them, maybe a loved one who has passed on to the other side – like my mom.

But we are never alone!

We are always surrounded by these amazing beings, eager to help us and guide us through. And today, I would like to share two of my such experiences with you all.

Some three years back I came across ‘The Secret’, courtesy a loving friend and began my journey of ‘Law of Attraction’. At that time, as I believe would be the case with a lot of you, it was for material gains. I was at such a point in my life where everything seemed stagnant, be it professional, personal or health. And with LOA I felt that I have finally found my magic wand…one swish and everything will get better…no…everything will be straight out of a fairy tale. Ahh! Sounds familiar…isn’t it?

Well like any good writer should do I did my research, Google and Youtube! With time, I became a regular practitioner, I manifested things, sometimes small sometimes big and I was happy. Soon, I realized that I was eager to manifest all the material things because I wanted to be happy. Something which we all wish for and something which we all have already. Being happy is our ‘original state’, it is our ‘core’, our soul is inherently happy. Material gains is just a garb and I was ready to shed it (now by that I don’t mean that I quit my job or something…I do have my bills to pay).  I simply stopped chasing it and trust me I have never felt more abundant in my life. I don’t know what happened but I could feel that I have come closer to my higher-self and felt my spirit guides steering me through life.

One of my first experience was amazingly beautiful and surprising. I decided to order White Sage from Amazon, checked a couple of options and placed the order. Now, I always thoroughly check my order –  the price, the quantity, the seller name, ratings etc…etc.  So, it is very difficult for me to miss out any detail. I did it like always and placed the order. Some four days later the order arrived…I was busy with work so didn’t open it for another couple of days. Finally, when I opened the parcel and took out the Sage stick, I saw there was something else in package. I was surprised as I had ordered only one Sage stick. I opened it with my obvious skepticism and there it was…a beautiful shining raw and huge piece of black tourmaline crystal! It blew my mind away…I was jumping up and down for ten freaking minutes.

Now, you’ll wonder why?

Well simply because I had been looking for crystals, reading about them, trying to understand them better and even took a test which would let me know which crystal I should go for. Black tourmaline was one of them but for some logical reason I wanted to buy Angelite first. But the Universe knew better and sent me Black tourmaline. I never ordered it and despite my keen attention while placing the order, I never saw that fine print which said ‘Black Tourmaline, 100 grams free’. It was a free gift with my purchase of Sage stick. Amazing, isn’t it?!

The Universe always knows and sends you what you need no matter how much you feel otherwise.

My second experience was also around crystals as this is my current craze J.  One Sunday afternoon I decided to buy myself a Rose Quartz, I am new to this whole crystal thing but I had seen a shop at the market place which I frequented. I went to the shop and asked for it…the nice guy there like a good businessman lined up all the Rose Quartz available at his shop for me. I looked at them all, they were all beautiful but in the midst, was a beautiful Rose Quartz that called out to me, it felt as if it was smiling at me and I scooped it up without any delay.  It was a big piece and I was expecting it to be if not much atleast moderately expensive. But it wasn’t, in fact it was quite inexpensive given the size of it and with that skepticism creeped in again.

Though I bought it, I kept wondering if the stone was real, if it’s some scam, if I was fooled and so on. With all these questions, I walked to the main street, hailed a Rickshaw and got in. Doubts were clouding my mind and I was starting to feel unsure about the purchase when I pulled out my phone to call my kid brother and my phone clock showed enormous 3:33 in the middle of the screen. You guys felt something too?! Well I did!

I was joyous, I knew that it is a sign, 3:33 is a synchronicity, a message that ‘our ascended masters, our guides are with us and assisting us in whatever we are doing’ so it was simple and clear to me – that crystal belonged to me!

These incidents happened sometime back but it was yesterday, when I was sitting at Iskcon Temple that I felt the urge to share them. Hence, the new post on my very neglected blog.
