I was given some of the best advice. Stop trying so hard to "connect" and just listen. It is in the listening to what is calling you that you find connection to heaven, to the divine. So that is what I have been doing. And it is amazing. I believe we often try to control our experiences. We try to shape and create what WE want. We are creators, but heaven cannot get through to is if we are in "control". We have to surrender, be present, listen to hear what is being offered to us. This has changed my life. When I take a few minutes to just listen, stilling the mind, and listening to that inner voice, not expecting a certain outcome, I have found that God can speak to me.
And then I found this quote that describes what listening is. And I love it.
"To listen is to continually give up all expectation and to give our attention, completely and freshly, to what is before us, not really knowing what we will hear or what that will mean. In the practice of our days, to listen is to lean in, softly, with a willingness to be changed by what we hear."
