We all have it. There is a voice in the back of our head. Sometimes it’s quiet, sometimes it makes itself more apparent. Some call it god, some call it intuition. To be completely honest, I’m still figuring it all out myself. What I do know is, meditating is helping understand this voice more.
Sitting for 15 minutes daily has allowed me to hear this voice more clearly. And there is something that this voice kept telling me since I started this course three months ago. “Reach out to her.” I would ignore it and think it was nothing. Next week, “You should really reach out to her.” Hmmmmm okay… weird. A few days later… “Go on… reach out to her.”
This voice is relentless. I decided to surrender. Because what I have been learning recently is, God speaks to us through many channels but he talks to us when we are still and ready to listen.
Here’s the story: I have had a best friend since we were five years old. We did everything together and in college we had a falling out. It was sad for us and for our families who had grown close over the years. It had been three years since we last talked. Ties were broken and we probably would have been fine to go on without each other for the rest of our lives but that little voice told me what needed to happen and I am so glad I listened. I told myself to “do it now.” So I pulled out my phone and sent a text. The text turned into drinks the next week and the drinks turned into heartfelt conversations, apologies, I love you’s and “don’t be a stranger.” This was huge. This was courageous for me. No one saw this one coming. But life is too short and love should always conquer.
When we tune into what that little voice is saying and we have confidence in that little voice, beautiful things happen. Healing happens, growth happens and love happens.
I will continue to listen to the little voice in my head and I will continue to act on what that little voice in my head says because that little voice in my head isn’t so little. It’s huge. It’s in me and in you. It’s the spirit all around, inside and out.
