Listening to the Universe: Embracing the Silence

Click Each Image.. It Will Take You Somewhere Amazing!

Soultribe… have you ever experienced a season that hits you so hard it snatches your breath?

Not just the usual “life is lifing” hard. I mean the kind of hard that feels like embarrassment. The kind that leaves your ego bruised. The exhaustion runs so deep that both your body and spirit feel drained. Your emotions spill over onto the people you love. You find yourself frustrated because you didn’t mean to be short, distant, snappy, or numb… but here you are.

And what makes it worse?

You’re doing the work.

You’re saying the affirmations.

You are praying.

You are trying to keep your mind right.

You are showing up.

And still… no movement. No shift. No sign. No breakthrough. Just… silence.

The silence isn’t punishment; it’s instruction.

The Part of My Story I Don’t Glamourize: Listen to the Universe

I wasn’t always at ease.

I arrived at “surrender” the hard way — because life fell apart in my hands. I’ve stared bankruptcy in the face. I’ve lived through multiple miscarriages. If you’ve never been in that kind of pain, let me explain it like this: it’s not just grief… it’s grief with a receipt. It’s grief that changes how you hear your own thoughts.

And I still had to get up the next morning and be “okay.”

The Mask: Being the “Everything Aunty”

Back then, I woke up every day to be the everything aunty at the local spiritual store I owned.

I was the steady one.

The warm one.

The one with the right words.

The one people turned to when their world was shaking.

I could hold it together in public and crumble in private like it was a full-time job. I smiled, encouraged, and poured into people. Then I’d go home and feel like I had nothing left in my cup.

The Break: When Pretending Stopped Working

After the final miscarriage… the mask broke.

Not in a dramatic “I’m quitting” way.

In a quiet, terrifying way.

The kind of break where you realize: I cannot perform my healing anymore.

I can’t package it. I can’t pretty it up. I can’t explain it away.

The store moved online. And let me say this with gratitude: the community stayed. They cheered. They supported. They loved me through the transition.

But here’s the truth that set me free:

Community can hold you. Community cannot heal you.

Only one thing healed me: the cessation of pretending.

The Fears Nobody Sees When You’re “Strong”

I was afraid on multiple levels:

• Medical fear — because the miscarriages weren’t “simple” losses. They were severe. Dangerous.

• Financial fear — making “too much” for assistance, but not enough for the rising cost of living, food, everything.

• Social fear — the judgment, the whispers, the vulnerability of not being the strong one anymore.

  
  

And the wild part?

When fear is loud, you can’t hear instruction.

Fear talks in a shout.

God’s voice doesn’t.

The Shift: The Day We Stopped Being Victims

At some point, my family and I made a decision.

Not a motivational quote decision.

A real one.

We decided to stop being victims.

We looked around and named what we did have:

Each other.

A roof.

Clothes.

A chance to start again.

And we started small — because that’s how you rebuild a life without lying to yourself.

The Practice: One Instant of Gratitude, One Prayer a Day

It started with one incense and one prayer a day.

Not a performance prayer.

Not a “let me prove I’m faithful” prayer.

Just a real one. A tired one. A “help me” one.

And then came the action that changed everything: I decided to shut up and listen.

Because silence feels like abandonment when you’re used to forcing movement.

But I faced that fear anyway — because I wanted to hear God’s voice more than I wanted to hear my panic.

The Revelation: God’s Voice is Not Harsh

Here’s what surprised me:

When the Universe — when God — speaks… it is not harsh. Listen to the universe, It is extraordinarily soft.

Charming.

Cheerful.

Guided.

Protective.

And in that softness, I realized something that rearranged me:

I wasn’t being ignored.

I was being taught.

The silence was necessary to learn how to listen for the reply.

Not for the noise. Not for the drama. Not for the chaos.

For the reply.

What I Want You to Know, Soultribe

Spiritual walks don’t leave you hopeless.

They leave you empowered.

Because when you stop fighting the quiet, you start hearing what’s been trying to guide you the whole time.

Do you need to sit with this one a little longer, baby? I’ve shared the full story and reflection of ‘When the Universe Puts You on Mute’ over on Medium. Pour your tea, take your time, and read it slow — it’s waiting for you there.

If You’re in Your “Mute Season,” Try This Today

Nothing complicated. Just grounding — real-life balance.

• Meditate at sunrise (even 3 minutes). Sit up. Hand on your chest. Breathe slow. Let the day meet you gently.

• Walk barefoot on the grass for a few minutes. No phone. No rushing. Just presence.

• Hold a crystal for balance while you breathe (whatever you already have is fine). Hold it like a reminder: I am allowed to steady myself.

• One sentence gratitude + one sentence prayer. Keep it honest. Keep it short. Keep it daily.

  
  

And then—this is the key—pause long enough to listen.

Not for a booming voice.

For the soft instruction that protects you.

A Simple Affirmation

“I don’t chase clarity. I create space for it.”

Journal Prompt (if you need one)

• Where am I demanding a loud answer when I’m being offered a quiet instruction?

  
  

From Story to Structure

When you’re ready to stop fighting silence and start listening…

Go to beadsandpotions.com and look for The Clean Slate Ritual System. This isn’t a “quick fix.” It’s structure — the kind your clarity has been waiting for. A grounded ritual system you can return to when life gets loud, your emotions get heavy, and you need a steady way to reset with intention.

One step. One day. One honest moment at a time.

Peace and love, y’all.
