There are moments in life when things happen that simply don't add up. Sometimes it's losing your phone in the store. Other times a family pet runs away, never to return. Still, there are other times, when life just seems stacked against us for no apparent reason at all.
This situation emerged during a recent reading. During the reading, Carrie talked about a recent experience that was clearly being given to her by her guides: flashes of light during the funeral of her father, who had died suddenly.
The guides were clearly trying to communicate with her. As I contacted her guides, they kept indicating that they had prepared her for this moment, and they wanted her to know that she would be fine. Of course, Carrie wanted to know how they had prepared her, because that made no sense to her.
As she sat with it in silence for a few moments, I telepathically asked her guides to show her what they meant, that she was completely confused. At that moment, her eyes widened, and a light of recognition showed on her face.
"Now I get it!" she said. "I had been reading a book about near-death experiences, just out of curiosity. And then I lost the necklace my husband had bought me on our anniversary. I was desperately sad, and I had to just let it go, which was do hard to do. And then I accidentally closed the car door on my finger, which hurt so bad, and left a mark for weeks, and I had to get through life with a lingering ache. I think these were all preparing me for this."
The lights flickered slightly. A sign that the guides were acknowledging her insight. They said that they hadn't caused any of those things to happen, but they had inspired her how to handle those situations, so that she could build her "grief muscles", in preparation for the loss of her father. She had learned more deeply how to let go, to get her through life with loss, and that death was not the end.
So be open to those graced moments when things aren't going your way. Guides are preparing us for what is ahead of us. That doesn't mean that someone is going to die, as in this case; it means that we are learning, growing, maturing and evolving in our spiritual strength.
