My Fav Way To Get Answers Quickly

Last week I told you I was working on a few elusive new projects. I say elusive because the nature of the projects is still being revealed to me. I am in hot pursuit.

I also mentioned that now and again I would take you on the discovery journey  as a way to de-mystify the creative process while also hoping to inspire you to hit your own creative playground.

Today, I want to share one of my most powerful and well, I must say Magical tools that help me find answers, direction and clarity.

To best share that tool, let me put it in a story, yes?

The other night around 10:30pm I headed out to the local Duane Reade (drugstore) to pick up a few items. As I left the store, I was struck by the smell of soon to be summer rain. I know some people hate humid nights, but I live for them.  If I could bottle that scent up and put it in this post, I would.

Instead of going back to my apartment, I decided to head out for a late night Soul Stroll.

What is a Soul Stroll you ask?

A Soul Stroll is walk with no definitive direction, no set time frame and no destination.

(I also suggest that you avoid checking emails, texting or chatting with your mom during this sacred walk. Sorry mom.)

There is only one intention of a SOUL STROLL and that is to CONNECT.

When I say connect, it can mean to Yourself, your Soul, God, the Universe, Life. You name it and it is yours to connect to.

During my Soul Strolls, I like to have a little chat with the All That IS. My inner dialogue usually goes something like this,

“Hey, I know you won’t stay silent, so I am here to listen. Whatcha got for me? Is there something you would like me to know? What would you like me to teach? Is there a lesson you like me to share?”

I allow myself to move into a deeper state where I am not really thinking, just being. It’s also important to mention that I let myself go in whatever direction my soles want to carry me.

One of the projects that has been on my mind is my signature course, Magical Manifesters.

I have had the privelege of sharing it with over 250 people in the last year and half and several more in the live version. (I’m not sellin’ anything here, just want to give you a behind the scenes scoop.)

Because I now feel deeper in tune with the needs and challenges of all these lovely souls and know there are many more souls who can benefit from the work, I felt taking Magical Manifesters to another level might be the thing to do.

With that, I wasn’t certain this is the right time to be working on it.

So I began to further my inner dialogue, “I would love to talk about Magical Manifesters. Is this the project I should work on right now? I feel like I could expand it, but there are so many OTHER wonderful things to work on. Is this the one I should focus on?”

I kept walking when something in me told me to turn right at the next corner, head up the avenue and take another right on the next block.

I even had a moment of, “That’s a dumb way to go, you’re making a circle, Erin.” But I ignored that voice because the Soul Stroll is all about letting your soles do the work.

Just as I turned down the street, pondering these questions, I looked down and right at my feet, I seriously could NOT believe what I saw.

I stopped in my tracks and am pretty certain I literally laughed out loud.

On a slab of new concrete was THIS graffiti like stamp.

Whhaaaaat!?!

“You’re kidding, right? Are ya tryin’ to tell me something? Me thinks you are. Thanks for the guidance. I suppose, yes, this is the right project.”

I am indeed In Pursuit of Magic.

I stood there and just took in the moment. I NEVER cease to be tickled by these little signs.

This is EXACTLY what the Soul Stroll has the power to produce.

When you set out with the RIGHT questions and open yourself up for answers, you WILL always receive divine winks that remind you you are EXACTLY where you are supposed to be and YES, you are on the right path.

You should know, I am not the only one to take Soul Strolls to get answers to my most burning questions.

My friend’s writing partner Allen Loeb, who is responsible for movie scripts like Rock of Ages, 21 and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, takes 3 hour Soul Strolls to work out story lines.

French composer, Eric Satie, would go for long walks to find and compose melodies in his head.
