Following the Signs...

Some call it serendipity, some call it coincidence, some call it fate – when a series of events occur that seem to be engineered by a higher power to all fall into place, as if we’ve almost wished them into place.
 
As a child, I adored the Dr Seuss book – Wacky Wednesday. On the Wednesday in question, the young protagonist gets up and finds a shoe on the wall… and his day gets progressively wackier from there. As he traipses around town, he notices synchronicities (& shoes!) in the oddest places and wonders what they all mean, before eventually and rather gladly jumping into bed, exhausted from his day of unusual happenings.

Have you ever had a day like Wacky Wednesday?

While on holiday to Byron Bay, I had my very own Wacky Wednesday. It started with a little touch of magic – Harry Potter magic if you will. I had decided to start rereading the series, however I only brought the first book with me and found with ample opportunity to read while on holidays, I had almost finished it. So I set my intention that I was going to find Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets at the Mullumbimby Markets on Saturday morning. We walked in, we walked around, we walked up to the only bookstore there and right on the corner of the table was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for $5.00. I smiled and thought to myself ‘what luck!’

We then visited the Crystal Castle and Shambhala Gardens in Mullumbimby. A few weeks prior a good friend had also made the trip to Byron and suggested that it was in my highest interest to go for a visit – as we all know, I love crystals!

We entered and a feeling of peace and serenity came across us as we walked the Rose Quartz lined paths and found our way to a Rose Quartz circle. After grounding for fifteen minutes whilst laying on the ground with my feet on a rather large Rose Quartz, I moved up to sit on its friend next door. As I was sitting on the Rose Quartz, the Labradorite bracelet on my left arm snapped off and broke, falling into the grass in front of my Rose Quartz seat. We both looked at the ground, rather startled before I burst out laughing and said ‘Well, obviously I no longer need its protection!’ I wear a Labradorite bracelet and an Amethyst bracelet on each arm, to increase intuition and openness and protect myself from and dissolve negative energies. As I sat on the Rose Quartz, the stone of unconditional love, and allowed its beautiful energy to course through me, it broke down and through any barriers to self-love and shed them into a circle of love (& Rose Quartzes!)

Shortly afterwards, we moved up to the café area and sat on the beautiful verandah admiring the view. As we sat there chatting away, I heard a rustling behind me and as I looked down a metre long green snake was slithering behind us. He was about 50cm away so we just sat and watched him as he went about his business and wandered off. When we mentioned that we’d seen him to a staff member later, they were surprised that there was a snake out so late in the season.

Snakes are a sign of Kundalini rising. In Hindu mythology, Kundalini is a serpent goddess who lies asleep at the base of the spine, coiled three and a half times around the first chakra. She represents the unfolding of the divine Shakti energy, the energising potential of life itself, a living goddess who enlivens all things. Kundalini rising is a shedding of the old, and embracing and stepping forward into the new with creativity and alignment. Our little snake friend wandered on by us, choosing to be seen and choosing to be heard so we saw the sign, but also choosing to continue on with his business knowing that the sight of him was knowledge enough about what was happening!
 
As we wandered around the beautiful grounds after lunch, we came across a stunning Fuchsite, weighing around 275kg, from Brazil. As I read the description next to the Fuchsite, I mentioned that whilst I have a rather extensive crystal collection in my practice, I didn’t have a Fuchsite and would love to get one. After having a hug and getting a photo with the Fuchsite, we went to walk on when my friend looked down at the gravel stones and said ‘Oh look!’ as she picked up a small piece of Fuchsite and handed it to me. I then stated that I wanted her to have a piece too, at which point we looked around and spotted a piece for her.

Finally, as we went to leave, I suggested that it had been an interesting day and I would like to get an Aura Photo done. I’ve never had one of them done before but recently my interest had been piqued. I thought after a grounding day in such a beautiful space my aura might be feeling fulfilled and healed, so I was hopeful of some interesting colours and perhaps even an orb or two! As I sat down, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, ten seconds later my photo was complete.

Before she opened my photo to allow it to develop, the photographer asked if I did a lot of meditation. I had a good old giggle and explained that whilst I have done some meditation, I am much more of an ‘active meditator’ – I allow myself to zone out while I’m walking, swimming, running and riding. She looked puzzled before I then mentioned that I worked as a Kinesiologist and that yes, I worked each week. She smiled and replied ‘ah, a lot of the things I just saw make more sense now’.

Curious to find out more, she uncovered my photo and we had a look. Unusually, I have an incredibly rare open and strong heart chakra (love can be stronger protection than a labradorite bracelet) and lots of blue indicating a shift forward and a rise in creativity (which is what my little snake friend was showing us). The large amount of green and my two orbs showed that I was very close to moving into alignment (a place from which you can manifest all sorts of things, like Harry Potter books and Fuchsite’s!) Most interestingly, my aura is extremely bright (somewhat like my wardrobe) and strong, I radiate energy, love and positivity.

I left with the aura photo safely tucked away in my bag, happy and beaming in the knowledge that all of the energy I put towards living a life of love radiates out of my person, and that with this love I am able to move forward through life’s challenges and be a beacon of light and love. 

 If I ever need reminding of any of that, all I have to do is allow myself to tune into the ‘synchronicities’ of the universe, whenever I am willing to be open and look for them, they will be there gently reminding me that I am connected to source and on course <3
