Hi Marije,

You said this, and I highlight it because I suspect you speak for many out there...

Making a mistake is somehow very much associated with punishment for me, and can almost feel like a matter of life and death, so I suspect there is some karma to work through here. And at the same time, I get a sense that at some point a ‘wrong’ choice that I made had quite disastrous consequences for the world around me (which can also trigger an enormous sense of sadness) and that I am terrified to make such a ‘wrong’ choice again.

I recall being at an airport with some few hours before the flight. Then I perceived a question, a reflection, from the usual channels that I knew as supportive guidance. The internal dialogue went something like this...

Guidance: how important is this flight?
Me: Kind of important.
Guidance: do you perceive any risk?
Me: well I suppose the plane could crash.
Guidance: yes. So if you felt there was a chance of that, would you change the flight?
Me: I felt it through, and something didn't feel right, so I went to change the ticket.
Me: I must have gone through this cycle several times, each time I decided I would change the ticket, a resonance reflected that I was okay to stay on track.

What might we learn from this?

Think about booking a flight and the cost of it. Think about the potential consequences of taking a flight that isn't necessarily in the flow. And in these terms, 'flight' could be anything which has a potentially high cost. How flexible can you be if you felt a guidance not to take it? Even if you'd spent a lot of money? Because the soul wouldn't care about that. The money is already spent. You're already in a new moment with new possibilities.

So how might you overcome doubt and fear of making a choice that might have big consequences?

I would say a good way (perhaps the only way where there is extreme doubt) is to allow yourself to make lots of choices and to let them keep changing or not happening until you expose the ego aspect that is hanging on. Feel the energy. Get inside the loop - AS IT IS HAPPENING - and break it open.

That's how it worked for me.
