7 Life SIGNS THAT YOU’RE Awakening to BY PATRICIA YOUNG W e’re in this life journey together, we’re all peers in this experience that is filled with infinite opportunities. But in today’s fast paced world it’s hard to be in the reality of the present moment - which is all we have - and very easily, we get distracted by the demands of the day to day and our culture, so we end up disconnected from our true essence. When we live from that place, we mainly connect with a sense of contraction, fear, confusion and limitations that push us to just get by, avoid reality, feel a constant struggle, and restrict our capacity to be our own true selves, share our gifts, make love to life and embrace all the magic that it can offer to us. I believe that we are going through a transformational time on the planet, and we are being called – at a spiritual level – to be part of this shift by living our life from a more authentic place. Some of us might feel that we’re at a crossroads between what we think we “should” do and what’s expected, and what our Soul is whispering to us. I know this too well because I was there myself for so long. 44 www.AspireMAG.net | December 2017 / January 2018
