Babe With The Power

Lately, I’ve been feeling down. There’s so much in my life that’s happening

but not happening, if you know what I mean. I can see things on the

horizon but I can’t quite reach them and it was starting to get me down.

I don’t know how much longer I can be patient for!

 

Then, last Thursday happened.

 

The first thing was: I asked Spirit to help me. To show me what I could do

to help myself.

​

The second: I listened to Episode 17, Season 7 of Hannah’s podcast.

​

The third: I took part in Annie T’s beautiful Spirit Guide meditation.

 

During Annie’s meditation we were encouraged to push through

something. So I channelled my inner Hannah, put my crash helmet on and

ran headfirst into a brick wall. As I burst through the other side I found

myself in the Labyrinth. The movie Labyrinth!

 

Just like Sarah, I stood there faced with a choice of directions. I could see

the castle in the distance but I didn’t know how to get to it. So I was

looking left and right unable to choose which way to go when I heard a

voice behind me saying, “You need to change your perspective.”

I turned around and there on the wall was the worm!

 

I remembered what happened in that scene. Sarah was looking so hard,

trying to find her way to the castle, that she couldn’t see what was right in

front of her face. She was only seeing what she allowed herself to see. If

she would just relax and look at things from a different perspective the

way would naturally reveal itself.

 

So I leaned back, looked up and softened my gaze. And just like in the film a gap magically appeared in the wall.

 

I stepped through and found myself in a rose garden. Petals were swirling all around me like confetti-enveloping and healing me, reminding me of self-love and self-care.

 

It felt so real. I could smell their scent. I could feel the texture-velvety-and I could feel their healing love.

 

I stood in the vortex of petals allowing myself to be healed. Then I felt myself falling. I had leaned back supported by my team and I let myself fall.

 

I knew I was falling into the Oubliette. Once more, just like in the film, I was caught-by hands. The hands of my spirit team. They were smiling at me saying, “See! We’re here. Just trust.”

 

I let them hold me. I tilted my head back and let them release me. Again, I fell-gently and again I was caught.

We were laughing and smiling-it was like being reunited with old friends. This happened again and again until I reached the bottom, where I found myself in the scene where Sarah thinks she’s returned to her bedroom, filled to the brim with her beloved trinkets but in fact, it’s a fake room.

 

This is where she realises: none of it matters. It’s all just stuff. Illusion. Clutter. She was focusing on the wrong things. Nothing in that room is truly important.

 

And it made me remember-nothing matters the way we think it does. I’d become so attached, so weighed down by timelines, outcomes, expectations-manifestations that hadn’t yet arrived that I’d become blinkered. I was causing myself suffering and cutting myself off from so much.

 

The room then became her real bedroom. And just like in the last scene, where all the characters from the Labyrinth come to visit Sarah, I was surrounded by my guides-and we were celebrating.

 

So, I’m feeling much better. Not perfect but better.

 

I’ve been reminded to take care of myself. To take my foot off the gas now and then. That it’s not just about the goals but about living while our goals are incubating. Like the rose garden behind the wall-just because we can’t see the growth doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

 

Here’s the most magical part-

 

This is one of my favourite films of all time. One I used to watch with my dad, who passed away last year. We didn’t have the easiest of relationships but this film was something we shared. It was the one film we would actually sit and watch together.

 

So that Thursday, I didn’t just receive a message from my guides... I received one from my dad too.

 

The whole thing was incredible. Beautiful. Fun. Magical. Just perfect.

 

For the past week, I’ve been singing “Dance magic, dance!” and I've been taken back to a time where I had my dad and I'm seeing things through fresh eyes-including the film. Who knew you could get so much from a movie starring puppets?!

 

So, my takeaway?

 

Have faith. Know that things are happening behind the scenes, even if it doesn’t feel like it. Maybe, if you feel stuck-change your perspective. Everything is an illusion. Something we build up and create in our minds because we choose to.

 

The Universe knows a much better way of getting us what we want than we could ever dream.

So, fall back. Surrender and let Spirit take care of you.

Oh, and Dance magic, dance! Because you're the Babe With The Power!
