"Out of what? Where am I going, why am I trying to leave, what do I want?"
This is where I find myself again today. Asking myself these questions...
Lately I've been 'trying' to stay more open in acknowledging what's actually happening around me - and 'trying' (...I really got to stop "trying" and start just "doing"... but that's a whole other story!!) to being more aware of the 'signs'. ...you know?! ...the signs of the Universe where it talks to you...
A few of my latest 'signs' where just a few weeks ago, while on holidays, I was hanging out at Indigo (Chapters) with one of my sisters... and actually talking about how the Universe gives us signs and instincts to guide us through life. We had just got out from the bookstore and were headed back home when just before leaving she took out a small snack size package of nuts, and asked me if I wanted any? We each took a few into our hands (just shook the small bag to let a few fall out), and before we did anything else I asked her to freeze!
I asked her, "What's numeric number provides significance to you? ...For me, my number is 4. However as long as its a even number, it's good for me." She stopped for a brief moment and said: "9."
We opened our hands containing the nuts (I shit you not!) and in her hands were 9 nuts!! And in mine were 8!
(... by the way the Universe has a sense of humour too - I just realized that to give us this message, it used a bunch of nuts! ...Ha-Ha-Ha, very funny! <-- sarcastic laugh.)
So then the next time the Universe decided to teach me was in early August, the 7th to be precise. I was browsing online and came across the following:

Free Audio Recordings -- Sedona Method. These techniques will help you release negative thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that hold you back. They're easy to apply, and Hale walks you through them step by step.
Two days later, I decided to view the movie:

(Which at the time, was made available online for Free for a limited time.)
After reading, listening, watching and learning about the Sedona Method, I didn't make anything further about it... until that Sunday. I was returning from a Photo Shoot, from out of town (I have a passion / hobby for photography.), and got consumed with an overwhelming "I just need to cry" emotion... and having heard just that week (from the Sedona Method article and recordings) that we need to accept emotions when they come to us, acknowledge them, feel them and then... let them go. -- I allowed myself to cry. ...and let me tell you it wasn't pretty! ;) But it felt amazing.
The next day while walking during one of our work breaks, I expressed that it felt like a liberation and weight fell off my shoulders. I have internal instincts as to what was brewing inside and what liberations occurred ... and am now letting go.
I don't usually pay attention to online "methods" or what-I-perceive-as-gimmicks, since I've been programmed to believe that everyone just wants your money and whatever they're selling you don't need. --- ... personal development has taught me that, this is a rooted-belief that has served a purposed at some point in my life. However instead of leaving after serving its purpose, it ingrained itself in to my "this is what is true" mind-cabinet. So now my duty is to accept this thought, feel it, and then let it go. ...thus making room for a new thought to come in.
The following week, again listening to my instincts (inner-voice) while driving I turned the radio on and the below song was playing. So I asked the Universe... "Was just randomly selected for me to hear?", so I switched to another radio station... once commercial announcements were done, this song came on!! For Real!! :) I love the Universe!!
You can read the lyrics here: http://www.directlyrics.com/kelly-clarkson-dark-side-lyrics.html
The song talks about people having dark sides and not being perfect - however they still want to be loved and for their loved ones to not give up on them.
...this songs speaks to me at various levels. ...but that's a whole other blog post! ;)
In summary, don't dismiss coincidences as "voodoo" nothings or just ... coincidences. The Universe, God, does speak to us. For some it'll be through spirits, through Angels, through nature, through dreams, ....and/or even point-blank through Road Signs! Learn to listen to the whispers before they hit you in the head with a loud Bang!
