The Essence of BEing
Shhhh... when the Universal self says 'STOP' will you listen? Synchronicity, listening to the signs, and an activity to create balance.
I’ve been a little quiet on the writing front following the message of ‘stop’.
Truly I thought, based on previous years of growing a business, that this year would continue to develop and expand. And in a way it has, but not as I expected (Isn’t that often the way?!).
The series of ‘stops’ and ‘starts’ this year have been significant and almost always create an opportunity to address any imbalance, to look within, and allow for alignment and integration.
Synchronicity
What does guidance to stop look like, you might ask? For me, any guidance is paying attention to the repetition of signs - whether to rest, stop, ground, go within, exit or any other activity that requires attention.
These repetitions are known as synchronicities and may appear in many ways: feathers, appearance of spirit animals, repeated numbers (11:11, 4:44) recurring lyrics, in meditation, or dreams, the number of rescheduled appointments in a row, to name a few. My ego might not like it, but ignoring through ignorance or freewill is an invitation to manifest a health or circumstance crisis to get my attention.
What synchronicities are you noticing?

Tip: You can discover possible meanings of ‘Angel numbers’ or spirit animals by Googling “spiritual meaning of ___” and noting the answers that resonate, or ‘speak’ to your heart.
Pencil in my Hand
One of the signs I’ve come to recognise is when I hear or think of Tom Jones’ Darlin’ lyric ‘Taking me some paper/Pencil in my hand’, I’m being asked to pick up a pen and channel a message. This automatic writing has filled a number of journals as I learn to trust incoming messages.
So while on this latest stint of practising BEING (also known as practising what I preach) rather than living a role as teacher, healer, life learner, I was taken to a message I recevied from Babaji in September 2022.
“Divine One, this time is now, the present moment, for one-ness. All is complete and now is the time to trust the information and what lies within. Your daily practices matter. Begin today - drink the water, ground and purify the self.”
And just in case the message needed reinforcing (because for our human brains it often does!) this soon followed from my Higher Self:
“If you hold back you will open the door to old fearful habits which will make you doubt what you are doing. Stop putting off the things that need urgent attention by engaging your will. Ask ‘What am I learning from each experience?’ Then let go of experiences or people putting pressure on your digestion. Let go of control, worry, guilt and allow peace, joy, wellbeing and sunlight into your stomach. Move past the pain that shut you down by developing more compassion for yourself and your life’s journey.”
So, I choose to listen. I also recognise that my growth is connected to your growth and vice versa, so I hope this helps you in some way.
Activity: If you too, tend to push your emotions into your stomach / digestive system here is a brief activity to heal.
Imagine you are standing in the sunshine
Visualise sunlight streaming in through your mouth, down through your heart and lungs, into your stomach, flowing through your intestines and kidneys.
Then imagine the light intensifying into a purple fire as it ‘burns’ off all that is unhealed.
Allow the light to fill all voids created by the clearing with unconditional love.
Give thanks.
"Love yourself as we love you. It is only your doubt and egoic ignorance that are holding you back. Stop. It is time for that to end." Babaji
Meditation

And finally, if it feels right, a meditation to connect to the Ascended Masters here.
Thank you for your patience as I move through this time of ‘stop’ and as always, if you found this article interesting or helpful, please like and share. Word of mouth is the greatest gift.
Wishing you the opportunity to BE.
Blessings

Beautiful Michelle ♥️
I’m hearing the call to stop. The gears feel big though. Like there’s a lot of strength (boundaries) required to slow it all down. And perhaps that’s my ego.
For me the chrysalis has appeared in meditation several times...... No need to explain that I’m sure. Although I needed your question for me to remember the several times it appeared in my minds eye and oracle cards💕😊🙌🙏💕
