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 13: Where you live is not a random choice...

Like the title suggests, where our soul chooses to live is not a random choice. Where we live is chosen because it truly resonates with us, we're most happiest and it's part of our path. If we aren't happy living where we are, then that should be something we change. We should have the opportunity to explore where we want to live in order to have our soul purely vibing. 

I moved to Melbourne, Australia in 2013. Truly, everything fell into place for me moving here. The other option was Sydney, Australia as I had travelled there before way way back and thought "this feels like home". The funny thing is, everywhere I travel to feels like home. I feel like I am a true child of this earth because every country, no matter what living circumstances, I truly feel in my heart that I could live there - when I visited New York, Surin in Thailand, Cottswalds in the UK, Scottish Highlands.... the list goes on! Maybe I just am an international citizen and where I visit, may have been places I've been in past lives so I am naturalyl attracted to them. Who knows?

Anyway, continuing on why I moved to Melbourne. I had just gone through a massive break up when my most major relationship of close to 10 years (on and off) broke down and I just couldn't live in Perth, Australia anymore. Perth has such a negative vibe for me. I almost always have bad things happen there and whenever I go back, it's like this massive drain on me. That to me shows me that I am not meant to be there. I guess growing up it sat well with me? But now I'm definitely, noooooooo! I had friends help with my transition over to Melbourne and it was like the pieces were setting in fine. Sydney would have been a lot more planning and I don't think I would have enjoyed my time trying to figure it all out. Definitely have made so many good friends in Melboune that are my people. Especially now that I'm on my spiritual path - the universe has provided me this good path, so it's been destined.

I can see myself living anywhere, as I actually make an effort to go out and make a network of friends, if I choose to. I make a decent effort to make it work out, and always tell myself if it doesn't, then there is always another option. When I visited the Scottish Highlands, I really thought "man, I want to retire here". My dream for retirement is to have a semi-rural property with my rescue animals, just appreciating the land and creating a happy environment for myself and all these wonderful beings. I think that dream is achievable. I can do it in Australia, however I like really cold weather and the Scottish Highlands showed me so much greenery, that I was shown there was more to this world than I realise. I'm sure the next place I travel to may he me swayed me again. I just never know what I'm going to really resonate with but it's all part of the adventure! Very exciting!

I believe Melbourne came to me at the right time. I was meant to be here. Not sure how long for but it's home for me and I love it. I really made some good connections that are for life and I don't know where I'd be without the people I have come across.
