Listening to the Universe

I have known for a very long time, even before I really knew what it meant, that I wanted to help people grow spiritually, that I wanted to help them become who they were always meant to be. After a traumatic time a few years ago, where my husband, partner and friend of 25 years left me for someone else, I found my way back to the path of spiritual growth. It was the big wake up call I needed to get back on track, and though I had done work on it over the years this really gave me the push required. I have been consistently working in the field of spiritual growth with teaching, healing and reading for some time now, but started to lose my way a little last year. Though I was still doing those things, my time was being increasingly taken up doing fairs to sell my jewellery and crystals. Though I believe these are also helping people it became really one sided with all my energy being taken up getting ready for and doing fortnightly fairs, so that during the last few months I had little energy left for teaching and running workshops.  I could see the universe showing me the way, but it was hard to make that change.  Stuck in a bit of a rut I carried on doing the fairs and gradually let go of most other things, doing only the occasional course. The fairs got harder, though I always enjoyed spending time with the other lovely traders and meeting the people that came to my stall, I began to feel really tired. Still ignoring what the universe was trying to tell me I carried on doing the fairs and they began to become less and less financially worth it. Of course that is not always the reason you do these events, sometimes networking is enough, but there was less and less of this too and so I hauled myself out of the rut and stopped doing the fortnightly fairs. This was only three weeks ago and already I have three courses booked. I trusted that the universe had another plan for me and so I let it guide me, I jumped and went with the flow. I feel so excited to be teaching more. It is what I am meant to be doing. I'm not letting go of the crystal and jewellery side of things, as I love reuniting people and their crystals and I love creating beautiful jewellery for people to wear, but it will no longer be such a huge part of my life. I will be doing some festivals and fairs, but not so many. Do look out for me though as I always love to meet people. By ignoring the messages from the universe for a few months life got really tiring and a bit of struggle, in the flow now things are coming to me and I'm back on my path. Sometimes it can be difficult to see what the universe is telling you, and sometimes it can be hard to let go and follow the messages, but when we do everything becomes easier, things drop into our lap, life is no longer a struggle, as we are no longer fighting that energy. It happens to the best of us, I have been listening to the universe for a long time now, and I help others do that too, but we all get lost at times. I have become more and more experienced at seeing what I need to do (even if it sometimes takes me a while!), but there is nothing wrong with asking for help. As I get back on my correct path I look forward to helping many others get there too. :-)
