T he simple answer is this: You follow your Heart! Now dear ones, this was the article, glad you read it. Ha ha! Sounds too simple and yet too complicated? Let's see about that! All of my life, or at least for the past 10 years, I've envisioned myself as being a therapist. One of those who just instantly heal by touch or even without touch. You know, like Jesus did, “rise up and walk” kind of thing. I trusted so much into this vision, that it actually kept me going through more than 10 years of classes, workshops, private specialization schools, private coaching sessions, therapies given and applied to my- self, etc etc while in the meantime trying to struggle with the day-to- day's life, you know, just make a living. For some periods of time I would earn enough money just out of private therapies, coaching ses- sions and readings, other times I had to take on another job, to keep me going. But the true passion re- mained the art of healing, maybe not so much at a physical level, but at a deep emotional and spir- itual level. I would say acknowl- edging your true emotions, and being true to yourself, makes the true spiritual connection happen – and as such – the physical healing occur. Now as you may figure it out by yourself, after long periods of being free and working out of pleasure, it is not easy to go back to a 9 to 5 schedule, not for all the money in the world. With some personal issues also going on in the background (a long-distance relationship breakup, going back to live with the parents, less and less income, having to ask for money to my family, lots of friend- ships sinking like abandoned ships and a lot of disappointment all over), I had to stay tuned to my own personal values, keep my faith and my connection with the divine Source and not give in, not give up… 9 to 5 was no longer an option for me, I just had to drink my coffee (or better yet a nice green smooth- ie) at home, choose the people I could work with on a “good vibe” check, meditate whenever I felt like, getting the chance to connect with nature whenever I needed and so on. Pressure rising. The pressure from friends and family was constantly rising: “You have to DO something!” (not as if I wasn't “doing” anything, it was just not bringing money for the moment, or I wasn't doing what they would've done); “You have to get a REAL job!” (are you people deaf when I tell you I die within one month if I get a standard office job?? that's really soooo boring and unfulfilling!) “You got to STOP DREAMING and come back to Earth!” OK, that was it! I could take it just so far! I can take any advice (or piece of “ personal fear”) from others, up to the point where I was told to cut off the dreaming! In my own personal view, DREAMING is what keeps us alive. Dreaming high, dreaming good dreams, dreaming that you can reach the top of the mountain (whatever the “mountain” means for you) is what I think keeps us fueling our day-to-day actions, in order to get there. Dreaming high is exactly the opposite to buying into fear. Either your own fear (oh yeah, it will always be there whispering from your behind), or the others' fear of their own lives. How many of those telling you to stop dreaming did actually reach the top of the mountain? Have you ever wondered about that? Did any of so full of fear friends of yours get billionaire or just so exhilarating happy in his/her life, that they are actually in the position to give you advice??? If not, then why are you buying their crap? All in all, I played the deaf frog and followed the only TRUE GUIDANCE that ever is worth be- ing followed: the inner guidance, the Soul level guidance. I kept calmly working on the continual rise of my vibration level, I kept entertaining myself on the best vibe I could find around: self-de- velopment trainings, inspirational books, just contemplating into my depth of true value: what would I really enjoy doing in my life, no ef- fort taken, for as long as possible? So I started PLAYING. Yes, you heard me. Like a well-grown 33 year old adult, I started playing. Playing with my food, like in- fants (and developed a cooking blog actually), playing with colors (and gave birth to a bunch of nice drawings and paintings, worth looking at), playing with words and my oh-so-known emotions (after all the years of in-depth emotion digging I was able to even write about it, so that others could also benefit from my experience and maybe not go through the same drama again). In the beginning it wasn't easy 44
