Lesson 14: Recall the places you have loved best...

“Lesson 14: Recall the places you have loved best. Were you with forest, ocean, desert, mountains? Were you north, south, east, west? You are always called to the place that your particular soul requires as home, in this lifetime.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today’s lesson had me asking the Divine “Where is my beloved home?”. I had to remember the place/s I loved best and/or is my beloved place not discovered yet. Would this beloved place be somewhere I would return to or would I travel to this place in the future? Usually our soul connects us to these particular places. I felt what I was connecting to is what I’ve always been attracted to in past lives.

Right now I live in a concrete jungle of Melbourne. I have my retirement dream of having a large property with lots of animals. When I was in the Scottish Highlands, I really thought “this is where I’m meant to be”. As I went into meditation, I was taken to the ocean. I was standing on a cliff face and could see in the distance other cliff faces. What I noticed was the grass. The grass was long and light – not the type of grass I’m used to here in Australia. The grass looked like it was in a meadow but that of the United Kingdom. I don’t think I have been to that particular place I saw in my meditation but I knew it was in this vicinity. There was a dirt track off the side of this meadow but I didn’t see where it lead – that was not revealed to me. I did have a wispy breeze and much of the sky overcast which suggested a cool location. There was much greenery.

I had to come out of meditation at this point as my cats were making so much noise and interrupting me that I couldn’t continue the concentration. I felt that I got enough. I know I am not to live in Melbourne forever. I feel that my beloved home is very much immersed in nature. That I love best when I am overlooking the ocean and also have the abundance of nature’s forests and meadows nearby. I actually think my beloved home is within Britain or Scotland. I did have a past life which I thought was Scottish but turns out was Welsh. It’s possible when I visit Wales that may reveal more and could be where I’m supposed to be. Until I travel to these places, I won’t know for sure. All I know at this point, I’m supposed to eventually head north towards the United Kingdom area.

I could honestly live anywhere as long as I felt a true connection in my heart.

Lesson 14: Check In WEEK 2 - Inviting Awareness

This week was a focus on shifting focus to becoming more of a witness rather than actioning anything. I am to note down anything that this awareness has revealed and what changes I’ve become more aware of.

I thoroughly enjoyed the looking up exercise. Taking a moment to step away from the computer and find beauty in my surroundings was a really good practise. It reminded me that taking the moment to just have a minute of silence, appreciating what I was seeing, really was relaxing. Not thinking about anything and admiring the scenery was soothing. I realised I need to do this more. Don’t let the trivial worries bog me down when I can take a step back and just focus on something that will make me smile.

I do realise that having better time management for the activities I enjoy is something I would like to focus on. I really want to enjoy all the hobbies which encourage creativity but not feel rushed doing them all. If I can make up my timetable and be generous towards all these activities, this will increase my overall happiness.
