The Universe that we live in is always trying to show us the right way. The trouble is, we don’t always listen. When we stop listening it may seem to us like the Universe is no longer talking to us, but that is simply not true. Like I said – it is always talking to us – however what it is saying may be overshadowed by other noise from your every day life. This is one of the reasons why meditation is so powerful – it quiets our minds, turns down the every day noise, and makes it easier for us to hear the Universe talk.

Paulo Coelho, in his book, ‘The Alchemist’, talks about this concept, except that he uses the word ‘heart’ instead of the ‘Universe’. It is a wonderful book and I totally recommend it, though based on its sales, I don’t think that you would require need my endorsement.

Based on the story in The Alchemist, your hearts ‘talks’ to you, but as you ignore what it is saying, it gets quieter and quieter until you no longer can hear it and feel like it is no longer there. I have heard people say that they do not know what their hearts are telling them. When you reach this point, you really NEED to start paying attention to what your heart is saying so that it starts talking louder and louder to a point where you can hear it again.

Of course by ‘talk’ I don’t mean that the Universe communicates with you in ‘audible words’ – far from it. Much like the Universe does not understand your words and goes by how you feel, it also communicates to you through feelings. People who listen well to what the Universe is saying are said to have good ‘instincts’ or a good ‘gut’. That is why you hear people say that instinct can be cultivated and improved – the more you pay attention to it and the more you listen to it, the better you will get at understanding what the Universe is telling you.

Have you ever felt in your gut that you shouldn’t do something, but did it anyway, only to realize you have made a huge mistake? I have. And have you ever gone with your gut in spite of external uncertainty, and later were happy with your decision? I have as well! So start paying attention to what the Universe is telling you! It won’t mislead you!

Until next time,
