Being blocked……

(For my own good, as it turns out!)

Once again, it is the internet and it’s quirky operations that have offered me a plethora of subject matter to choose from for my monthly column! Oh but which do I choose?! Which life experience offers the best example of what NOT to do when the universe intervenes to help me plan my day? There have been several, to say the least, but my intention here is to comfort others in the knowing that whatever crazy experiences they are having, baby, you are not alone! And baby, you are going to want to honor the wisdom of the universe, trust me!

In the past week or so, I have been experiencing numerous internet connection delays that have annoyed me greatly, causing my blood to boil and my impatience to reach an all time high. Yes, it is true, I was never blessed with a patient personality to begin with but this not being able to access my email account created yet another unmet desire to send my laptop out the window for good! What is noteworthy about my problem is that I could effortlessly maneuver around and connect to absolutely every other website I was interested in except my email.

Being the evolved and enlightened individual that I am, it did come to mind that I was being blocked from getting caught up in the unending supply of emails that arrived daily and wasting time there instead of moving forward on any one of my projects that are near and dear to my heart and my future. So for a while, I was at peace with the problem. But then it persisted and finally I took steps to ask my brother for the contact info for the website and just like that, it was fixed without any further action on my part…..for a while.

Finally able to access it, I found myself opening well meaning emails that did nothing but ignite all kinds of fears and anxiety, causing me to fumble around frantically to recapture my inner balance and sense of security once again. It was then that I realized my being blocked was serving more than one purpose. First, I was in a lovely place of inner serenity and peace and the universe was helping me stay there! Second, I didn’t waste any of my precious time on an idle past time (basically the universe was helping me stay focused on my goals) and third, I now know that I was being protected from information that was not in my highest and best interest to hear (health warnings have their place but we are so overrun with them from all kinds of media, it’s ridiculous!).

For me, the universe could not have chosen a better method for delivery of a lesson I needed to learn but I am grateful for having had the experience and believe you me, the next time I am denied access to something, I will trust that it is in my best interest. The next time some door appears to be closed, I will not be so block headed as to force it open again, trusting instead that when the time is right, it or another will open effortlessly.

I believe the further we evolve up the ascension ladder, raising our vibrations to all time highs, the more such things are going to happen and it is a matter of learning to trust that a higher power really does have our backs, knowing what’s in our best interests before we do. The best any one of us can do is rely on trust and faith and accept that we don’t have to do it all ourselves anymore.
