5 Ways The Universe Is Trying To Shift Your Path
Are you rejecting it?
I used to be the most skeptical person ever towards spiritual practices. I laughed at crystal healers and people picking up and reading energies. I used to believe everything in life is a coincidence, and we’re just a grain of salt in the vastness of things.
Why would a single human even matter?
The funny thing, though, was that I kept meeting ‘spiritual beings’ on my path. They wanted to do Reiki on me, heal my chakras, and clear my aura. But I pushed them all away. I did not want to believe that there was anything more to life than what I could see with my naked eye.
Until I started to feel those energies myself.
‘Spirituality’ nowadays is almost a dirty word in our current society. We put this label on the boho hippies who spread love and light wherever they go. Or the meditation teachers who weave a soft-spoken channeling into all of their classes. Or the plant medicine advocates who believe magic mushrooms can heal everyone.
Maybe for you, a spiritual person means anybody who believes in God, Buddha, Allah — you name it.
But spirituality is so much more than would ever fit on a label. Yes, it’s all those things mentioned above. And it’s also none of those listed above.
I think spirituality mainly means knowing that something greater outside of us exists to guide us.
How did my shift happen?
Honestly, I can’t mention one particular event that made me ‘spiritual’. It was a journey of pushing and pulling against spirituality for over four years. My mind tried to hold on to my old beliefs that we as humans don’t matter. That we just happen to be alive, and you’re either lucky to have a good life or unlucky to be miserable.
Now I know, however, that everything happens for a reason. Your misery happened to make you grow. It’s up to you to rise out of it.
No matter how bad something is for you, there is an innate power and wisdom inside of you to overcome it.
You can always change your life around and start living on your own terms. There is a secret button you can press in your mind to shift. And once you find it, everything changes.
Stop rejecting the signs
To find your True Self, you first have to let go of all your old beliefs and conditioning. We’re not out here on Earth to suffer endlessly. We’re here to experience all of life, the sadness and the happiness.
But if you’re sad most of the time, happiness might seem far away from you. However, anybody can experience the happiness that’s waiting for them on the other side.
If you’re currently walking in the wrong direction, here are some signs that the Universe is trying to shift your path:
1. Your body is trying to tell you something
Your body keeps the score. Whatever our minds won’t process will show up in our bodies. This can manifest itself in autoimmune disorders, cancers, skin problems, chronic fatigue, gut problems, or generally feeling unwell.
Our bodies hold so much wisdom — listen to it when something is off. It’s not normal to feel sick all the time. It’s not part of who you are. It’s your body trying to get rid of unhealed emotions and trauma.
Look into somatic practices when your body displays all sorts of weird diseases. Those bad energies need to get out before they actually kill you.
2. Bad luck keeps happening to you
If you’re walking in the right direction, you won’t experience bad luck any longer. Not because nothing bad happens to you anymore, but because you learn to deal with whatever comes.
Bad luck doesn’t exist when you’re in alignment with your life. This is one of the most liberating mindsets that comes after accepting the spiritual healing journey.
Life always flows with you.
But if you keep having bad luck, it’s a sign that you’re rejecting something. It’s the Universe trying to put you in the right direction. Pay attention and change your course. Deep inside, you know exactly what to do.
File for that divorce, quit that job, cut that friendship, travel the world. Do the thing that scares you the most and let it liberate you from bad luck.
3. You are often triggered
Triggers are teachers. If you’re on the spiritual healing journey, you’ll learn to recognize them and let them pass through you.
We all get triggered; it’s undeniable. But if you are constantly triggered - feeling like you want to fight or run away at any given moment- this is a sign that you can’t handle yourself.
After all, a trigger shows up because you were hurt by a similar situation before. And if you learn to process that particular event, it won’t trigger you anymore. Or even when it does still trigger you, you’ll take a step back and sit with it.
Living in a constant fight-or-flight mode is a sign that you’re rejecting the lesson that’s trying to knock on your door.
4. Your relationships keep failing
Another big one: your relationships in general are not healthy. Whether it’s with a partner, friends, or family … relationships are mirrors.
Once you see yourself reflected in every person you meet, that’s where conscious relating comes in. We are all One in the big scheme of things. Everybody can teach you a lesson to grow.
And the best thing about going through a spiritual healing journey is that you start to attract what you send out. If your own toxicity is gone, so will the toxic people around you magically disappear.
You simply don’t have time for their drama anymore and walk away.
5. You’re (secretly) deeply insecure
If you’ve truly walked the awakening path and learned the lessons as they were presented to you, your insecurities vanish.
This might seem hard to believe, but it’s true. Not because you’re suddenly a superhuman, but because you accept yourself fully as you are right now.
You don’t need to achieve anything or become anyone. You don’t need to drive that big car, and you don’t need to buy that villa on the wealthy side of town. You don’t need a better job title or a higher salary. Those are all signs of insecurity that you’re unconsciously trying to cover up.
I’ll even bring it one step further: you don’t need anything that is in the future. Because the future is always tomorrow.
That big car now will be a yacht tomorrow. That manager title now will be CEO tomorrow. There will always be something better tomorrow.
But true happiness hides in experiencing fully where you’re at right now. Without the house, the car, or the relationship of your dreams.
We are all spiritual beings
You might think that you don’t have it in you to be spiritual. But the truth is that we are all spiritual beings experiencing life through our humanness.
When you find yourself in these signs, it’s time to look beyond the physical. Life is trying to tell you something: listen. The Universe is here to guide us all, not just the “Chosen Ones”.
You might have felt for a long time already that you need to change courses, but you think you don’t have the tools to do it. I think the first step is to trust that change is okay.
For example, if you are unhappy in your marriage, acknowledge it. It’s okay that it’s not working. It’s not okay that you keep staying because you’re afraid of what happens afterwards.
Stop making excuses for staying in a situation you don’t want to be in. Walk in the direction of your fears and do that big thing. You will soon see that the Universe supports you after changing courses. Because you finally made a step in the right direction.
Challenge yourself, and you’ll see that your life is not coated with a dark cloud. The first step is believing.
You can get out.
The rest will come along the way.
If you’re craving a deeper connection with yourself and feel ready to begin again, I highly recommend this course. If you’re longing for a reset, this might be just what you need.
