Asking for a Sign: Message Received on 37th Street.

Everything is energy and all things that will come to pass do so in the spiritual realm before they manifest in the physical. So how do we know the spiritual inner work we are doing is in motion? How do we know if it’s working? ASK FOR A SIGN!

Whether it’s finding your space, creating something new or you simply have a question you want answered, before doing major healing work ask for a message to manifest in the physical.

My personal request usually goes something like “Dear Universe, Please give me a clear message that what I’m doing is working and please make it SO obvious I won’t miss it!” In this case, I asked and received more than I could have imagined!

Message Received on 37th Street! 

I was recently extended an invitation to teach a meditation workshop to top-level executive business women in New York City as a part of an innovative business leadership initiative called Breaking Glass. (Remember the name because it directly relates to the “sign” I received.)

My offering for the Breaking Glass Series was Creative Solutions for Clearing Limits. I’d never been to New York so this was truly an exciting opportunity. A new business leadership workshop in the Big Apple! What more could I ask for?

Since the workshop was about clearing limits I definitely had to clear a few limits of my own to teach it. The business aspect alone was daunting. How do you bring meditation to already successful women business leaders? After my first “deer in the headlights, can I do this?” feeling, I grounded and set to work putting together a program.

As with all my energy work, prior to the event, I asked for a sign to show me that it not only was working for the attendees but for myself as well.

The Answer to “Was the Workshop Effective?”

The last night in New York the organizer of the event and I were on our way back to the hotel after dinner and instead of heading to the room we decided to go for a celebratory nightcap. We walked into the bar next to our hotel only to be told they just requested “last call” but the rooftop bar was open. Truth be told if we’d know there was a rooftop bar we would have gone there in the first place so up we went.

The bar had a very cool atrium type (glass) ceiling. Other than what was blocked by the ceiling support beams you could see the New York city skyline through the glass. As we were relaxing and celebrating the success of our combined and individual New York events over a glass of Prosecco the organizer, who also participated in the workshop, told me she had received a letter that day hiring her as an independent consultant to analyze and oversee a large upcoming conference. In many ways this was a dream come true for her. Her emotions ran free and tears started to flow as she (and I) embraced what happened within 24 hours of the workshop.

With tears of joy (for her) in my eyes,  I looked up and saw they were opening the ceiling of the atrium to the night sky. THEY LITERALLY MOVED THE GLASS CEILING! Right in front of us was the lit up Empire State Building against a night sky filled with stars! It was one of the most breathtaking sites I’ve ever seen. The moment was more powerful than I could have imagined. There I was, in New York with the amazing woman who  brought me there, celebrating clearing limits under a limitless night sky with the Empire State Building’s antennae spires pointing to the cosmos. I will also add, the picture I took doesn’t do it justice.

Coincidence? I don’t think so. Too many things had to happen to get us to that very place at that very moment. Every decision we made that night lead us to see what we needed to see to acknowledge our journey. It showed us there are no limits because we can simply clear them. Move them aside. Release them.

The message was loud and clear, acknowledged and received. Although the results of the workshop are still unfolding, the sign I asked for showed itself in grand fashion. I call this, for lack of a better word, a miracle but perhaps the miracle on 37th street was no miracle at all. Perhaps it was simply showing us there are no limits except for the ones we hold on to.

Keep doing the inner work you’re doing. Ask for a sign that it’s working even if the true results take time to manifest. Everything is energy. There are limitless possibilities and yes, there are signs that will show you in bright lights there are miracles yet to unfold.~Shine Your Light Debbie

When Life Asks You Questions….

If you've got questions, you've got the answers!“The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.“~Thomas Berger

As human beings we are full of wonder and curiosity. We ask questions, life asks questions of us, and there really is an art to asking the right ones. How can we find the answers if we don’t know which questions to ask?

Life asks you questions every day in answer to your questions and although this leads to more questions, those questions will point you in the direction of the “right” questions and eventually the answers.

You May Be Asking the Wrong Question…

If there are answers you’ve been seeking that don’t seem to come you are asking the wrong question. It is also possible the answers might be right in front of you in the form of more questions. More questions may indeed BE the answer! There really aren’t “wrong” questions but if you’ve been looking for an answer and you keep asking the SAME question, try changing it up by asking a different question. That said, life asks you questions and if you’re running about looking for an answer to the wrong question you are not paying attention to what your life is asking. It may be that life is answering your question by asking you to explore your inner sanctum.

You ARE Receiving the Answer to WHY… 

It’s important to note that the universe responds to your questions exactly as you ask them. Each time you ask WHY this or that is happening (or not happening) your answer will almost always come back to you with the same situation you’re asking about until you finally decide to “see” the answer you’re already receiving. The next time you ask WHY and you find yourself stuck in a repeating pattern of the same situation, change the question to “what am I learning or need to learn from this experience?”

Ask what (or whom) you need to let go of to move forward. Ask for help releasing the limits placed upon you. Ask to be shown the truth. You can also, and this is profound, ask for guidance to direct you to the real question.

“I’m always asking questions – not to find ‘answers,’ but to see where the questions lead. Dead ends sometimes? That’s fine. New directions? Interesting. Great insights? Over-ambitious. A glimpse here and there? Perfect.“~Lesley Hazleton

What if it’s NOT about finding THE answer but being guided toward growth and expansion as a way of answering life’s questions? What if you are being pointed in a new direction? What if there are great insights within the questions? What if the answers lie not in finding an actual answer but leading you to more detailed and direct questions?

If you’ve got the questions, you’ve got the answers! When life asks you questions, LISTEN.  Step up to the plate and answer from your heart. If the questions lead to more questions, go with the flow. As spiritual beings we came here to learn and to learn we must continue to ask questions. We are curious by nature and it is our questions about life and love and living that keep us vibrant and alive.~Shine Your Light Debbie
