What does it mean to take a flying leap? Sometimes I feel this is all I can do in some situations. Is this about taking risks? Sure, but I think it’s a little more than that.
I had a dream the other night where I felt the sensation of taking a leap. There was a climbing wall at which I had to jump. I was standing on an adjacent platform near the top of the wall. As I anticipated my jump I felt a power within and all around me and knew I would be able to accomplish this feat without dropping to the ground. I leapt at the wall and stuck like a spider. I climbed no problem until I came to a challenging step right at the top and in my awkward position, began to falter in my confidence to whisk myself over the top. I jumped down.
This dream depicted having faith in a power beyond the physical senses. It is perhaps being a little “reckless” – reckless in the sense of acting on my choices without always being so careful. If I allow only my mind to take the reins, I disregard my desire and my power of manifestation.
Oh, those choices …
An important message I got from this dream is I can become too bogged in the physical aspects of my choices. These days I am questioning some of my choices and struggling with an old pattern. This dream was telling me to take that leap of faith and to trust, and to keep going. If I get caught up in fear and doubt I may not acquire what I want and need.
What I want to mention is that I am not acting on quick impulse. What I desire has come up time and again over a while now. I have held back for fear of not making the right move.
Jeepers. Haven’t I learned yet?
What I need now is to trust in Source energy that supports and guides and to see where I can go with my choices.
Despite what I hear about knowing our limitations, who am I to say what my limitations are? Perhaps the task is in realizing Source knows better than I do. Not easy to do when I have relied too much on thought instead of on a deep knowing.
Perhaps I am forewarned
I don’t think I am being held hostage by physical and mental concerns here, unless I allow it. To know and practice this on a spiritual level can be a greater challenge than I think.
I find as I get older, I can become more fearful and apprehensive during challenging times. I need to let go of mental concepts of my perceived limitations and let the spirits support me. This is one of the hardest things for me to do – to make a jump and know Source is there. The thing is … I need to make a jump.
I am engaged in a war between spirit and logic. Love and fear. Well the thing is, the proverbial carrot that tempts me right now just might save my bacon. I am facing off between what I want and what I need at this point, and what I need is also a real desire.
Aaahhhggg! The confusion of it all! But you know, nothing is permanent.
In the end who I really need to trust is myself, and to trust myself is to trust Source energy.
Not always so easy … for me anyway.
So, now if anyone says, “Go take a flying leap”, I just may say, “Sure, I think I’ll do just that. Thank you very much!”
And so it is.

I’ve been writing about taking a leap–and I keep running into other people who are writing about the same. I think we’re all onto something in this journey!
