My path has always been fueled by a strong inner knowing. The world has called to me time and time again, and without question, I have followed the call, made changes without hesitation, grasped every opportunity, moved from one continent to another on what might seem like a whim.
This might look erratic and disorganized from the outside, but inside it has felt quite different; It has felt like peace, like living in tune with the world.
My life has been full, whole, a life of fulfilment all because I have never hesitated to follow my path.
And on the rare occasion when I have not followed what I know to be right, when I have waited, when the human in me has wanted to stay instead of going, when I have wanted to control the circumstances, I have felt in my whole being that this is not right. It has felt like being put in chains, stuck in a box too small for me and my life.
Trusting, following my path, my inner wisdom and all the guidance available to me has opened up my life to beyond beautiful.
Even though trusting is not always easy. It has come with hard lessons, heartbreak and challenges – all which at the time have felt unfair, but later I have realized how necessary the hardships were. How much they helped me grow, how they helped me stay on the path that has been mine to walk all along.
Life is a roller coaster, and if anything, it has taught me to respect and enjoy both the highs and the lows, the full experience. Appreciate all that life is.
Trusting my path, following my inner wisdom, appreciating and accepting my life as it is, has brought me both peace and fulfilment. Showed me a way of balance. Even in the most turbulent times, it has reminded me of love in the midst of heartbreak and taught me that I am always where I am needed.
That I am moving as one with the world.
We are reflections of the world we live in
We are all unique energetic compositions creating ripples in the world like a stone cast in calm water. Shaping the earth we walk on like the rivers running through the planet.
And like water, we are shaped and changed by the terrain we roam in, affected by the multitudes of energies around us.
As our planet is filled with a myriad of different energies, some fiery, others earthly, soaked with water, pure light or the forces of the air – or a combination of all – different places affect us in different ways. As we do them, in our unique compositions.
The whole world is reflected in us, as we are reflected in the world. While we journey through life we need mirrors, experiences, people and places that help us see who we are, where we are going, how we are impacting the world, living ourselves true in our everyday existence.
As all energy is in constant motion, a myriad of change, so are we – changing compositions throughout our lives.
Following our path & finding what we need
As we grow, live and evolve, we need different things in different stages of life. We need different experiences, people and energies that move us forward on our individual paths.
Some things help us step forward, while others keep us in place to allow us to rest. Sometimes we need strength and courage, a fiery energy to help us open up to our own power, other times we need the embrace of the earth, to ground and heal.
Most of the time we need a mix of these things – sometimes a certain need is stronger, more dominant the others. This mixture of needs and changes and energies is all to help us – helps us find balance, find our way back home; home to our truest being where we can shine brightly, live out our truth, our purpose and our path to the fullest.
While the world often tries to divert us from our path, creates distractions, it also helps us return to it – all we need to do is to step out, tune in and allow ourselves to hear and be heard. Allow our intuition to guide us and to live consciously, deliberately in this world.
To slow down enough to notice what calls to us.
This call can manifest itself in millions of different ways. It can show itself as a need, an interest, as a person, a work opportunity or something completely different. No matter how it emerges, it always asks to be followed.
The more consciously I live, the clearer the call and its purpose is for me; Sometimes I get a strong need to go to Finland, to its slow and grounding energy, to heal and rest. Every now and then Italy’s fiery force beckons me. Sometimes strange places, cities I do not know and have to pinpoint on the map to know where exactly I am supposed to be.
As well as I can, I try to respect these yearnings, give myself what I need at this time. And, if I am unable to travel, I seek out a similar energy here. To replenish my energy with what it needs. To give myself what I need at this point of my journey.
The clarity has come with time, in the beginning, my life was blind trust, a leap of faith, simply going where the world directed me to.
The world is calling to you – can you hear it?
We are all incredibly wise and have all the answers that we seek. We know what to do and where to go next. We just need to slow down and listen.
Because there is always a call, a beckoning, a song that sings in a tune that only you can hear.
And in the orchestra of our world, you too send out a tune, become a part of the whole; a magnificent dance of strands of light, energy flowing wild and free, forming billions of paths, all separate yet connected. And one of these paths is yours.
Our world is a composition of vibrations, the earth, energy in all its forms, vibrate on different frequencies, in different ways, all reacting with your unique energetic composition. All affected by you and your being.
You can feel when something resonates with you, you can sense when it is out of tune. You can sense what you need, what calls for you, what needs your help, your vibration, your light. As well as you can sense what is for you, what you need, what helps you on your path, helps you to shine brighter, sound louder in this orchestra of life.
Living a fulfilled life
Once you are living in tune with your being, fulfilling your soul’s path, blissfully co-existing with the world, you become a stronger force. A force that moves around impacting the life you meet - the world calls for you, asks for your light, your help, your wisdom.
Barcelona drew me in and has become home. This city has helped me heal, rest and find balance.
It will probably always remain home, becoming one of the several places I get to call home in this life. But, this does not mean other places are not calling to me, that finding home and fulfilment means remaining in one place. That our path has come to an end; quite the opposite.
Lately I have felt so completely whole – full within – that I have heard a different kind of call.
A call from the world. A call for help.
Places that need attention, where the energy needs cleansing, the light enforcing, the earth healing. A call for me to go and help – impact the world with my full force.
Sometimes it is enough for me to focus on this call, the place that is sending out its signal, and it fades away: my focus being enough for what it is that it needs. Other times the energy shifts, the world aligns itself in its curious ways and I need to physically go there, to travel to the place that is so strongly beckoning me with its energy.
These journeys are always wonderful. Filled with surprises, deep connections and reviving encounters. Sometimes the journey is short: to a different part of Barcelona, sometimes long and I find myself boarding a plane. No matter near or far, they are always equally important and impactful.
As are all our travels, as is our whole existence: important and impactful no matter where on our journey we are.
