Life at the Pace of Love by Sylvia Burns

What a year this has been! So many waves of change! The usual pace of my life has friends and family suggesting I slow down, a change I have resisted.

And yet, I was listening and wondered what others saw in me that I couldn’t! For some time, I had made small adjustments towards a life ‘lived at the pace of love,’ and set my goal to shift gears spiritually.

I refined my daily spiritual practice and began working more closely with my inner guide to recognise and release self-imposed limitations, whatever it takes. I longed to be free, to express more of my true self, Soul.

Building spiritual strength in this way heightened my spiritual senses, opening me to the guidance and insights as they came through.  

A routine imaging revealed a large aneurysm on a major artery in my brain. What a blessing! At no time was I distressed as surgery became the only solution. I knew without a doubt that my inner guide was working to bring about the deep spiritual healing I had requested.

Two seemingly random events boosted my confidence. An article in this magazine opened my eyes to the warning coming through my car. For some time two warning lights flashed randomly yet no fault could be found – the Electric Park Brake and Auto Hold warning lights – stunned by this insight initially, I couldn’t help laughing at this ‘coincidence’, I had missed the point!

This fault was fixed two weeks after my surgery, and the console was cracked in the process! I am still waiting on this replacement part.

Driving to visit my granddaughter, the traffic was light on the Sunday before surgery, until flashing overhead warning signs gradually slowed traffic to a halt. Police were directing merging traffic ahead and I was suddenly startled to see a large grey kangaroo hopping serenely and gracefully past my car, in the opposite direction. I was on the inside lane of the M1! Frantic calls to Wildlife Rescue offered no help. I felt unsettled as we began to move and traffic flow opened up.  What was that all about?!

Contemplating on these two seemingly random events filled me with a sense of awe, gratitude and joy. How amazing to realise this very personal connection and communication with the divine.

The initial alerts were warning of a major slowing down. Then a temporary full stop as on the motorway. The grace and serenity of the kangaroo reflected my true inner nature, and it was heading calmly and confidently in the opposite direction … towards home.

This divine language surrounds and speaks to each of us, providing guidance and reassurance of Its loving protection in ways just right for each individual. Our work is to sharpen our spiritual senses and trust in our awareness…to develop our spiritual IQ.

My recovery has demanded a slower pace than I could ever have imagined, and I even now enjoy sitting quietly.

This experience brought remarkable insights. Rather than being about activity, ‘living at the pace of love’ demands a willingness to be aware and receptive to the wisdom within.

 The rhythm of life is dynamic. When I make time regularly for inner stillness, I catch the whispers of Divine Spirit and can shift gears more gracefully!
