Hi Elaine, I think it's really important to realise that the soul has different states - not just the sense of lightness and expansion. You can also be soulful when you're committed, focused and courageous in the physical densities. These are different qualities of course and feel different - they're often about confronting fear, like resources for example. Making your way back to the "budget hotel" stuck out strongly for me. Do you have any kind of poverty consciousness? Do you worry about resources? Remember the journey is all about self-realisation - self-actualisation. So when you're in these tightening and unpleasant situations, it's not about figuring our the desired outcome immediately. Work towards where the path appears to be leading, but always confront the tightness as it comes up. Then you clear through the density and the 'goal' manifests itself. So I'd say you're being invited to find courageous qualities of the soul in the physical densities. Open *OK*
