That Tingly Shiver Feeling

That Tingly Shiver Feeling

That tingly shiver feeling reminds me of my connection to something within me.

There’s a part of me that shirks from using the word divine.  Us non-religious types, or at least this non-religious type, struggles with what words to use to describe the connection I feel.  I do know this…it assists me, guides me, encourages me to lighten up, sends me experiences I can learn from, and unconditionally loves me.  My higher self?  Guides or angels?  Higher energy?  Source energy?  All of the above?  Whatever it is I sometimes feel it physically, emotionally, spiritually.  It demonstrates to me that I’m always supported, even in my life’s more stinko moments.That Tingly Shiver Feeling

I feel it when I have a significant thought or pay attention to a thought I just had when a special moment happens, or there’s a nice connection with someone I just met.

It happened this morning as my husband was leaving the house after we said goodbye.  A simple, common, seemingly insignificant moment.  As he locked the door behind him, it hit me how incredible it is.  It’s pretty amazing that he’s even in my life and that I’m also standing in our home waving goodbye to my husband.  How did this all happen?!  A few years ago I was unengaged with life and experienced it as pretty meaningless.  My career was both stressful and unenlightening. I was very underwhelmed by other human beings and life in general.

In this seemingly insignificant moment, saying goodbye as my husband left to run an errand, I felt that tingly shiver feeling.

I was reminded of how much has happened, all the things I’ve experienced and learned, to get to wherever I am now.  It’s a strong tingly feeling that sometimes brings confirmation, often a feeling of connection, and sometimes emotion.  Then it’s gone.  This time I took advantage of being alone in the house.  I spoke out loud about how fortunate I felt and also how fortunate that I could share the moment with whatever keeps me company and supports me in this lifetime.  And then I went back to doing whatever I was doing before my shiver worthy moment.
