If someone had told me that a Pandemic would have answered many of my wishes, I can’t say that I would have believed it. If you had told that I would receive a vision that would change my entire plan, I would have rolled my eyes in disbelief. Nothing could have prepared me for the major evolution that my life was about to take.
I realized early on there was something different about me, that I had some “gifts”. One of the words I have heard my entire life was “intimidating”. I heard it from friends, men, business colleagues and even strangers. I had learned to hate that word and it took me a long time to see this as my strength. I realized that it is amazing that I can stand in my strengths and feel confident about it. I learned that people that were not able to stand in their strength “yet”, were the ones that found me intimidating.
Ok back to the pandemic. It slowed my hypnotherapy & coaching practice considerably. I was a little concerned because it was my only source of income. I chose to look at it as a sabbatical and took some time for me. I allowed myself to simply be and put my faith in what will be.
I was meditating one day, a few weeks into COVID, and I quite literally and magically felt myself pulled from my body. I had never experienced anything like this before. I was very conscious of this happening to me and it was swift. I barely had a chance to acknowledge what was happening fully when I found myself standing on a field, in front of thousands of people, who were all dressed in white, on golden yoga mats. I was standing behind a microphone, inside this other version of myself, looking through these other eyes. It was freaky and fascinating.
I barely had time to adjust or understand what was happening when I heard a voice speak into my ear saying, “Ayse, look right”. I turned these other eyes to the right, and saw the most beautiful campus, many old buildings with a powerful energy pulsing all around it like a heartbeat I don’t even know how I knew it was a campus. There was a message delivered to me instantly about what I must do when I returned, but with no indication as to how I was to do it. Just as swiftly as I had arrived, I was brought back. It was like no time had passed, although, I had been there for quite some time. I came back with questions and a divine mission. I had to build an academy that focused on community and collaboration.
I was in disbelief for many reasons. Of all the people in the world, why was I chosen for this mission? I knew this was my purpose, my reason for being. I went to work, pulling on every resource, capability, skillset and tool I had, and somehow gathered over 100 passionate faculty created a council and share my vision. I knew that this was the answer to my prayers.
Since the vision, I am so filled with BIG LOVE and connection with others that I can barely contain my joy. Never alone again and I my vision exactly. I cannot explain the feeling of knowing that you are fulfilling your soul destiny. All my fears about life have simply dropped away. I really believe that when I was sent back from the vision, my fears were healed.
I have an important message for you in what I am sharing. Remain grounded in the belief of yourself and that there is something more powerful than you. Allow yourself to surrender, listen and receive the messages that are meant for you. Like a copper wire, become the conduit and amplify that message as far as you can. Keep your AUSM energy flowing for the goodness of humanity. Don’t be afraid to be the you that you were meant to be, because it is time to step into your self-mastery!! Magic does exist and wishes do come true! You knew that as a young child, re-ignite that belief in you now!
