It felt exhilarating when I sensed that I was to move to Portugal in January 2023! I envisioned an adventure filled with joy. I laugh at myself because, more often than not, I innocently agree to my Soul’s guidance without the awareness of how uncomfortable that change can be. Thankfully, the conscious, compassionate breath that I practice allowed me to make shifts that opened me, filling me with a newfound strength.
Fulfilling the requirements for the visa was extensive. Staying in the moment and trusting that I belong in Portugal was sometimes tricky. Each time I felt anxious, I took a breath, dropping deep into my core. I was clear fear was not allowed to be a part of this decision.
Having to wait for the Portuguese government to make their decision was a challenge for me. But I knew that being the creator in my life meant that I was the one who was choosing to move to Portugal, and no one, not even someone in an official position, got to decide that for me. Everything fell into place as I stayed in the energy of yes.
My internal shifts were strenuous; they were accelerated at an uncomfortable rate. I continued to trust, opening, surrendering, and allowing. My passion to become all I am in human form propelled me forward, no matter how difficult things appeared in the moment. I was ecstatic when I received the email telling me my application was authorized.
I teach people the value of showing up in their lives with no plan, no idea. Can I show up each day as I prepare to move, staying in my core in peace? It would be easier to make the decision only once and flow through each day without a ripple of distraction. But that is not the truth. My mind can rush off with plans of organizing things to make me feel safe. Surrendering that need, I discover how this move will be done effortlessly and gracefully from higher consciousness.
This is a massive change for me. Sometimes it feels scary. I feel I am embarking on an adventure with unlimited possibilities awaiting me. For that, I am grateful. It reflects how far I have come. I trust myself to allow this new life to unfold in ways I cannot imagine.
As I continue to let go and discover, I expand consciously. My choice at the beginning of this lifetime was to become awakened, to experience myself as a conscious creator in human form. That is being honored with this move. Celebrate with me because my new life begins October 20, 2023, in Portugal!
Dear Serena, I wish you all the best in the next phase of your life. It sounds so wonderful, exciting, and adventurous! I am sending you strength and energy. At the same time, I hope your journey will be light – in all senses of the word. I admire you for many things, but this one particularly resonates with me. I have always felt “misplaced”. It is not coming from a place of ungratefulness or the mindset that “the grass is greener on the other side”. I genuinely feel like I should be somewhere else and have always been drawn to the US. Who knows, maybe one day I will eventually find my true place and/or make peace wherever I am. Thank you for inspiring me!
Dear Jitka,
Why don’t you ask your Soul where this feeling of being displaced comes from. You may try to sense with it and see if it’s a past life or from this present day.
I have come to realize my true home is within myself. This body that I live in, is my home, traveling with me wherever I go.
I am looking forward to my new adventure, even though it’s a bit scary at times. I would never have dreamt it for me so I know it comes from the wisdom within myself that always guides me.
I send you many blessings. If you discover wire this feeling comes from, will you share it with me?
Dear Serena,
thank you for your thoughtful reply! I will try to listen to your kind advice and hope to get some answer.
Thank you, I truly appreciate your time and wisdom! I will stay in touch with you.
Lots of love,
Jitka
