Message in a Bottle ~ Spirit Speaks or Should I say Answers

Have you ever asked Spirit for a sign and then spent all day wondering if what you're seeing is it?

June 2018 I was on holiday and using the downtime to catch up on study. This module required us to ask for a specific symbol in answer to a question. I decided tongue in cheek that as I was at the beach I would ask for a 'message in a bottle'. The next morning I'm coming out of the water and a flash of green in the surf caught my eye. I look more closely and there's this piece of green glass washing around on the water's edge. It's edges were smooth and it had obviously been in the water for a long time but it was the only piece of glass or bottle I had seen at the beach the whole visit!! Of course, it wasn't a whole bottle, but it truly was representative of where I was at. I wasn't quite were I wanted to be in my connections and growth, I felt like I had the pieces but maybe not all of them. It was part of a bottle, a message in answer to my question just not in the form I'd imagined. It worked!!! I had my message in a bottle.

Fast forward to May 2020, I'm looking at becoming a facilitator with Holistic Wellness Community, a new offering and a website being put together to connect online. I proceed, madly putting info together for our first "live" classes (eek)!! I'm wondering if this is right for me, is what I'm offering helpful and will people be interested. I'm on my beach walk thinking I should do that exercise now; in my head thinking, "I'm on the beach, I should ask for a message in a bottle again". As I walk I see movement on a coffee jar washed up after a stormy night. I realised suddenly, this is my answer, there it is!!! My message in a bottle, it's covered in living mussels. No mistaking this - I'm on the right track, confirmation!!

As before, I know to look further at the message symbology ...

Mussels message - Subtle lessons teaches being an individual while being in a crowd. Being true to oneself bringing strong convictions, beliefs to the ebb and flow - network of family & friends provides important strength. Shows how inner strength anchors to a solid foundation. Also speaks to letting go of outgrown, ideas and relationships and empowering the new with a solid foundation. The 'bottle' is a coffee jar = energy, get up and go, bringing in joy and having a cuppa is about companionship with others/friends. So gratefully I feel relieved and on track. I feel this relates to my being an individual facilitator within a group and my previous experience is the foundation I'm working from.

October 2020 I finally launched Overwhelmed to Empowered - Minding YOUR OWN Business, my interactive online 6 week course for empaths and highly sensitive people (feels like a lifetime ago already)!!! I've spent the days finishing the copy and drafting the pdf Sensitive Soul Journaling guidance sheets to go with each week. In short, working, working, working and worrying if it will be right! Have I done enough, will people remember me and connect knowing I live this everyday? So busy my mind that my poor guides and Spirit must be tearing their figurative hair out. I know I need to step back now, I've seen it in my meditations "but there's still so much I need to refine and check!!"

Now Spring is here my hubby and I are back walking on the beach most mornings and as I'm going along I'm asking once again for a Message in a Bottle, please, please, please send me confirmation that I'm on track, I've got it right. I'm looking everywhere up and down the beach, "is there a sign?" "did I get a message in a bottle?" And no, nothing .... I change tack, alright if I'm not on track please send me a different sign, anything to give me direction ... "is that a bee?" "maybe I should look up bee, but send me three so I know that not just a bee". OMG by now even I'm thinking, "just stop, be quiet!!!"

I take a breath, calm the mind and focus on enjoying the rest of this beautiful morning beach walk. We get back to the end of the beach closest to the car and I see someone has left their drink bottle and a bucket of beach toys all alone on the beach. As we are looking around to see who it might belong to I suddenly realise!!! I'm soooo excited!!! It's a bottle!! It might not be glass or floating in on the waves but IT'S A BOTTLE!!

My first thought is "I'm on track, it's all good", then I move to noticing it's all alone, no-one for miles (well metres anyway), but the message is clear as a bell - LEAVE IT ALONE NOW, LET IT GO.

I'm processing this thought as I pay attention to the other symbology. There's a water bottle; water - the sustenance of life = pay attention to nurturing your self now; there's a bucket of kids beach toys = play more, relax and let your inner child out.

I still get excited every single time. I love this part of my life so very much and am very grateful for the guidance and confirmation that offering this empowering course Minding YOUR OWN Business for Empaths is right for me to do and on track.

I would love to see you there!!! I'm limiting the class to maximum 15 people to keep the energy clear and vibrant for you.
