Have you ever felt stuck in the waiting room of life? This week I am diving into what it really means to trust Divine Timing and how to use that waiting time. The wait isn't a pause, it is a preparation. When you stop pushing and re=align, synchronicity starts flowing.






Thank you for joining me!

Speaker 1:

Welcome to Just Count Me In a podcast about coming home to yourself and finding your expression, figuring out who exactly you came here to be also known as living your best life. I'm Sari Stone and I'll be your host. Welcome back and thank you so much for joining me today. I'm so happy that you decided to spend your time here. We are going to talk about something in today's episode that we all wrestle with at some point the wait, the in-between space between wanting something and receiving it, and how sometimes, if we just pause, what we receive actually ends up being better than what we imagined. But we're all waiting a lot of our lives. We're waiting for clarity, waiting for answers, waiting for healing, waiting for the right job, waiting for love, waiting for success, waiting for the next step to finally show up and, let's be honest, waiting can be hard. So in this episode, we're going to cover how synchronicity actually increases in our lives when we do stop pushing and the power of aligning our vibration while we're waiting. I'm going to give you some tools to help you let go of the mental timelines and questions to reflect on when you're feeling a little bit shaky. While you're waiting for something, we're also going to touch a little bit more on flowing with your life and what it means to live in the flow with your spirit and your experience. We live in a world where hustle is rewarded, speed, productivity, but spiritual growth, emotional transformation that moves at a different pace. Sometimes it feels like things are moving so slowly or not at all, and we wonder am I just doing something wrong? Did I miss the sign? Did I mess, mess it up? Did I take the wrong turn? So here's the part I want to get really clear about, because this has been coming through really strongly. For me, waiting isn't just about being patient. It's about how we use the space while we wait.

Speaker 1:

So I'm going to give you an example that happened just last weekend. So last weekend, my husband and I were finally ready to get him a dobro, and this is a big deal. He's a musician and you can never have too many instruments, but he's been really waiting a long time for this and it was a symbol of love and music and partnership for our anniversary big anniversary for us. Every single lead fell through, like we knew that it was the right thing inside, but it was the wrong instrument. People weren't calling back, places were too far away and I could feel, off and on, I was aware of that little twinge of disappointment creeping in. You know that moment right when you start to wonder well, okay, why isn't this working out somehow?

Speaker 1:

We were just oblivious to that part and we just kept trusting we were having a great weekend and it was a three-day weekend and we just enjoyed our time together so much and didn't even care that it was raining. It was one of those times that we were just flown with it and the anniversary came and went, and still no Dobro. The weekend ended and still no Dobro. And we thought, okay, you know what? I'm sure it's going to be this or better, we're just going to let go of this. Plus, we're both busy, so we didn't hang on to it for dear life. It wasn't like waiting for the right house. This was a small example of practice, and then, when we let go, all of a sudden it happened. A listing popped up out of nowhere. Not only was this Dobro in the perfect condition and the right price, it was made the exact year that we got together, like I'm not kidding.

Speaker 1:

And to top it off, we drove after work on Friday, and it was a three and a half hour drive each way. He got off in time for us to make it and make it home by 10, 30, 11 o'clock and the drive was smooth. People were warning me because I was getting snacks for us to bring, and people were warning me at the store oh, we're supposed to get a really bad band of storms. They did have a band of storms right up and down the corridor that we were driving on and not one of them did we encounter. I don't think that we turned the windshield wipers on once. When we came home, there was no power at our house. They had had their power knocked out almost five hours earlier and within five minutes the lights came on and I thought, man, there's my sign. So I just felt so good about the whole thing and I wanted to share that with you.

Speaker 1:

And this is definitely a small scale weight, but just that, when we let go things and we didn't lose our excitement about it or the feeling of him having the dobro, even though we fought against a little disappointment coming in, it actually worked out. Now here's the part I want to get really clear about, because this is really important that space between where we are and where we want to be. It is not dead time, it's sacred time, sacred time, sacred time of becoming. What we do with the weight is just as important very often as what we're waiting for, because that's when the real alignment happens. It shows me where I'm not aligned, when I'm not connected and things are not flowing towards me. It shows me, it points out okay, we need to shift this, we need to tweak this a little bit more. Am I choosing love? Am I choosing fear? Because when we just relax and we let go of the agendas, we let go of trying to control the timeline, which I really personally struggle with when we let go of how or when something is going to happen, all of a sudden something shifts.

Speaker 1:

It's in that letting go that synchronicities begin to just show up, those magical little moments that make us say, whoa, how did that just happen? This is awesome. The people, the signs, the unexpected blessings, they all begin to just line up, not because we're forcing them, not because we wished for them, but because we are aligned with them. That alignment happens in the waiting. So if there's a wait between that, as Esther Hicks would say rocket of desire that you launch into the universe and the manifestation of the desire. It just shows us where we need to align ourselves. So maybe, instead of asking why is this taking so long, we can ask who am I becoming right now? What does this space teach me? Am I a match for the energy of what I'm calling in? The more we tune in, the more we create space for miracles. And whether you're a parent guiding your child, a student navigating life transitions, just somebody deep on the path of growth, my hopes are that listening to this episode is going to help you ground down into some good wisdom and you're going to gain encouragement from it, because the more we do this, the more we create space for miracles. We finally release the push. That's when things start to move effortlessly.

Speaker 1:

Waiting is never wasted, when it's vibrational preparation. If your mind starts going towards anxiety while you're waiting, that is fear, and we know that all emotions can be rooted back. They can all be traced back to love or fear, her fear. So there's a teacher right there. I am choosing fear in this moment. I am choosing to worry or be anxious or start questioning myself, or you can fill in the blanks yourself Instead of choosing love. What would it look like if I chose love and remember to try to catch it within those first 17 seconds or you start to build momentum for those thoughts. So if you're in the waiting room of your life right now, know this You're not off track, you're actually tuning, you're rising, you're becoming.

Speaker 1:

Here's what that Dober trip reminded me about. Our waiting was not a punishment, it was a preparation, and as soon as we let go of trying to force things, we gave space for miracles, synchronicity and divine timing. If you have a couple minutes to take a little bit of mindfulness here and, if you can, if you're driving, you don't want to do this part then just take a moment and feel the weight of your body being supported, feel the earth underneath you and with every breath you can breathe out, exhale, inhale Expectations and control and inhale trust Gently. Imagine a version of you who knows deep in your bones everything is unfolding at the perfect time. Visualize something you've been waiting on, visualize the feeling for what you've been waiting on. Feel it, feel the joy, feel the love. Now just release that into the sky, just like it's a balloon. You don't have to hold it to receive it. Just breathe, just trust and just be.

Speaker 1:

I trust the timing of my life. What is meant for me always finds me. I allow space for magic and synchronicity. I don't rush what's sacred. I am held by the rhythm of divine timing. Waiting isn't a void. It's a sacred space. So, whether you're a teenager waiting to hear back from a school, a parent waiting for clarity, someone hoping for something good, just know this the universe has not forgotten you. It's just making room for the very best possible version of what you're calling in.
