My new life on the mountain bought with it a sense of ease and calmness. I felt like I was on a train platform waiting for my train to come in. (Haha, sliding doors just came to mind as I type). I knew that this would be my stepping stone to whatever was to come next, in the meantime, I was being given a reprieve to rest, strengthen my body and connect with like minded people. It was such a welcomed break after the past 2 years, I was actually enjoying myself despite the uncertainty that had become my life. Nothing was tangible. I have since learnt that FEAR and FAITH ask the same of you, to believe in something that is unseen.
Side Note: Towards the end of 2021 I had a strong feeling I was to go to Mexico. I wasn’t sure why as I had never been there, however, I had a strong desire to spend time in the Amazon with the indigenous tribes learning how to heal with endemic species. Mexico stayed with me, simmering and waiting.
I made a connection within the first couple of weeks of being on the mountain, by being guided to a chance meeting with a person who was going to have a pivotal role in what was to come next. We connected on a spiritual level of sorts, certainly a higher consciousness, that paved the way for many long discussions over a weekly cuppa. On our very first meeting he asked me a few questions on what I was doing with myself, so I shared a little of my story and also my feeling I was being called to Mexico. He in turn laughed as he too was making plans to sell up and move and he didn’t mind where that was going to be as long as it was out of Australia.
I believe now that this connection enabled me to expand this thought and feeling by bringing it to life, allowing it to become a possible reality. Over our many conversations and planning, my confidence grew and without me even being aware at the time, the seed had firmly planted itself as a probability and no longer a possibility.
I had also within the first few weeks walked into a shop and had an enlightening conversation with the store owner. We exchanged mobile numbers as he was going to connect me with a couple of like minded groups that were active on the mountain. He messaged later that day about a meeting that was about to start and if I was interested in going, the door would be open and to just go in. I decided to go as it felt right and I met many amazing people and listened to there incredible stories. I also met fleetingly, a person that was going to be a tremendous support to me in the not to distant future, not that I new this at the time of course.
In April I was attending a Yin Yoga Teacher Training. A friend had sent me the link at the last minute and it felt right for me to attend, so I contacted the Facilitator and she had a spot remaining. After answering a few questions I was accepted and ready to go, this was despite the fact that I was due to move out of the rental at the end of April, and I had absolutely no idea where I was going to go. That was something I felt I could look at on my return.
Its actually crazy to think now how calm I was and not at all concerned, that I would only have two weeks upon my return to find another place or at least decide what or where I was to go and pack as well. Unbelievable really, now that I’m looking back on that time. My higher self clearly new that I had nothing to worry about and all would be presented in perfect timing.
On the second day of my retreat I received another message that I was to leave Australia for Mexico by the end of June. Once again it just felt so right that I never questioned, I just knew it was exactly where I needed to be even if I had no idea why. The person that I had met briefly at that first meeting was able to share the exact way to get myself there, which of course was no easy feat being unvaccinated, they themselves had done it a few weeks earlier. Another friend helped me to book the flight, an extremely expensive flight as the prices each day were increasing dramatically for some reason. The expense didn’t matter to me at this time as I knew I just had to leave.
I also contacted the Real Estate Agent to see if there was any way that I could extend my stay until the end of June. Seriously, I cannot make this stuff up, she said that she was about to contact me as the owner had asked if I would like to stay on until the end of June. Done! An incredible synchronicity once again. All I had to do now, after my training was complete, was to return home and sell everything (I had already received that I was to store nothing and to let it all go) and find exactly where in Mexico I was to go. No Stress!!!
To say I had much to do was an understatement. Also telling my children that I was moving to Mexico on a knowing was interesting although it didn’t really surprise them too much. The following weeks were a blur and went incredibly quickly. I received a couple of names out of the blue of places in Mexico to go, from people I randomly crossed paths with, which I researched. One stood out and I new with certainty that this was the place I would begin my journey. Oaxaca it was. I messaged my friend in Mexico to see if he may know of a place to stay and as things go, he happened to have landed in Oaxaca himself and was able to help me choose a BNB that wasn’t too far out of Oaxaca Centro.
With all my belongings that I had chosen to keep safely packed into two large suitcases and ticket in hand, I was ready to embark on a journey into the absolute unknown.
