What does alignment look like?
I recently had the pleasure of presenting and hosting a vendor booth at the summer Energy Healing Conference in Layton, UT. This is the world’s largest energy healing conference and such a joy to be around likeminded people all called to participate in their own healing and teaching others to heal themselves. I first found this conference two years ago and attended the last two summers resulting in some profound growth. Now, I got to be part of it as a mentor!
I took what could be called a big risk by leaving my career in corporate America, having benefits and a stable salary to start my own business from the ground up while completing my life coaching certification. I’m not a risk taker, so this was a big deal for me. I trusted my intuition that was nudging me here. I knew based on natal chart readings and working on my intuition that my purpose in this lifetime was to make a career of my spirituality and communicating to others how to heal themselves. This was the first step in that direction.
Presenting EFT Tapping for fear and shame, I had my “coming out” as a business owner and mentor. I’ve been a booth vendor and speaker before in my old career and while I felt proud of my accomplishments, it was still ick. I didn’t care about what I was talking about, I just cared that I did a good job and was being honest. I enjoyed my audience and loved teaching, but that’s where it ended. By the end of those days I was exhausted and unfulfilled. The passion and purpose weren’t there so it didn’t feel authentic and honest to me. The old cliche, “do what you love and you never work a day in your life,” has truth to it. In my case, I loved to teach, but the subject matter was meh. Now that I am teaching what I love and interests me, I feel energized and excited.
This time it not only felt aligned and authentic, but I was receiving little divine messages from guides and angels the WHOLE time. So what does alignment look like? Here’s my list for this particular event:
Angel numbers, of course, the whole time: 11:11 (twice in two time zones), 10:10, 12:12, 5:55 (these included clocks that were wrong, so I was meant to see the numbers)
My rental car was the same as my car at home but newer and a hybrid (saved so much money on refueling)
Stopping at a restaurant before getting to my hotel but service was slow and I was about to leave when a couple sat next to me and found a server - turns out the slower service meant I could wait here and not for my hotel room in the hotel’s small lobby
Arriving at the hotel, only one room had just been made ready - Room 222
On a hike, a swarm of butterflies gathered around a stream in the foothills
Two dragonflies (my guardian angel sign) landed on tall grass facing me forming a perfect triangle with me
Many people came to me opening up within minutes to tell me deep stories of grief which I took as me giving off a presence that allowed them to feel safe to go there
When offering Reiki at my booth, I received intuitive hits on each of them that they all confirmed without me asking or leading (I wasn’t even going to offer Reiki! This was a last minute change because I listened to my intuition)
Going to the Maronite Church near Salt Lake City and seeing the priest who used to be in Cleveland
All of these things and more combined were little nudges and confirmations that I am aligned and on the right path. This is what alignment looks like. These things happen when you’re not looking for them and not expecting perfection, just progress and abundance. The key feeling that comes with these signs is peace and contentment. There is no questioning what it means, no anxiety about correction or redirection, just simply peace.
Barriers are often signs of a period of growth and exploration. We ebb and flow throughout our lives no matter how aligned we are because we can always level up. Remember what I’ve said before, instead of “why me,” we could ask ourselves, “what is this teaching me?” This openness to the ebb and flow only gets us more of what we want, on a more intentional path, releasing distractions, and happier on the other side.
So let’s walk our paths with flexibility and openness and just see what happens.
As a certified life coach, I can help navigate that path. If you’re curious about what that looks like, you can book a free Connection Call.
