Perfume of Sophia

You will be able to sense the best timing and approach to take. To create space for healing and resolution, connect to your body and ground yourself in the here and now with body-friendly practices. You will find your way intuitively and instinctively even through confusing circumstances, where one moment you are sure the answer is no, and the next moment, you are sure it is yes. Give up trying to figure the answer out right now and remain open, with positive but relaxed expectation, that clarity shall emerge spontaneously according to divine timing.

Trust that your questions about your life will be answered. Even now, you are in the process of working your way toward the answers that will bring you clarity and higher understanding. There is a kindness in how the Universe delivers a message. There is a story of three rabbis who went into a room and saw God. One rabbi dropped dead, the other went crazy and the third one became enlightened~ It was the same room and the same divine presence, so what accounts for the different outcomes? When we are ready for knowledge, divine guidance is incredibly helpful and healing. However, we may need certain experiences to become ready. There is as much race in veiling the truth as in revealing it. There is a beautiful Sushi teaching that destiny is granted with compassion. There is a time to prepare for knowledge, a time to receive it and a time to live it.

There is danger in trying to force knowledge. Force is the desire to progress faster than is naturally taking place. It is a disconnection from natural rhythms, the sacred feminine, the power of knowing and divine timing. The Oracle of the perfume of Sophia asks you to trust your nose. The spiritual symbolism of the ability to smell as the capacity for discernment. And the words of Juliet, in Romeo and Juliet, “ arose by any other name would smell as sweet.” The nose knows!

As you lean into natural timing, rather than trying to force something to happen, you’ll remain connected to your own ground of being. You won’t be pushing to get ahead. You’ll be in connection with yourself. You’ll be able to sense with your body and soul that which might otherwise confuse your mind (with its tendency to argue first one way, then the other). You will instinctively sniff out the truth of a situation. Then, you shall be able to do something useful with that knowledge.

Developing the patient’s required to see us through times when we cannot know something – with trust, and hopefully some equanimity – is an important part of our soul journey. If such times evoke, fearful, and negative predictions or anxiety based on a lack of belief that you can deal with whatever arises with Grayson dignity, then work on those issues. Do what you can do now. Leave everything else up to the loving and wise workings of the universe.

If you are pushing for a resolution, and answer, and understanding before it is time for you to know, you’ll feel frustrated. It will be more constructive and enjoyable for you to engage with what is. Will it require the development of your character, the capacity for patience, for trust and faith, for commitment and devotion, even when there is no evidence you shall succeed? Yes, likely it shall. Especially if you are carving a path that is unique and creative. To live in such a way is wonderfully courageous and inspired and requires spiritual maturity. Aligning yourself with a greater wisdom and timing, and surrounding yourself in its service, is the basis of spiritual maturity. You will have your answers and, in the interim, you were doing beautifully. Continue with your journey.

Healing Process

What can you do to connect to your body, feel good and ground and focus your energies in the hearing and now? Some examples might be walking in nature, doing some stretches or a full yoga, practice, meditating, or breathing and relaxation techniques. When can you do that for yourself? Make a plan to do it and stick to it.

If there is something constructive that you can do right now, such as some deep, centered, breath, awareness, or other form of meditation or conscious movement, do that now. That is your healing process.
