The Magic Is Hidden Inside the Smallest Next Step (Not the Big One You've Been Chasing)
Description
Today’s episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to chase the next big thing to feel like you’re moving forward. In fact, the real magic (the momentum, the clarity, the joy) is often hidden inside the smallest next step.
We explore how striving for something far ahead can pull you out of the present moment, and why coming back to now might actually be the most powerful spiritual practice you can choose. Even though winter has just begun here in the Northeast, your soul may be entering its own spring: the season of renewal, new life force, and fresh beginnings.
Then we pull from Wild Kuan Yin Oracle by Alana Fairchild and receive the beautiful message of Sisters of the Spring Swallow — Good Fortune Granted, a reminder that what looks dormant is already stirring with life.
