Life carries us in cycles of learning, growth, and renewal.
August and September have been such a cycle for me — opening doors I did not expect, and preparing me for paths I could not plan.
In my previous reflection, Stadin AO to Special School: 2 Months of Growth, Aug–Sept 2025, I wrote about the surprise of being accepted into Stadin AO, the lessons of one month of study, and the moment I was chosen to continue my journey in a special education environment that supports neurodiverse learners.
Now, on September 29th, I stand at the threshold of a new chapter.
A week from today, I will begin my työkokeilu — a work trial that feels both humbling and sacred. I do not know what awaits me, but I feel called to walk forward with faith.
🌸 From Growth to Embodiment
The past two months were about growth — strengthening my Finnish, building new rhythms, and awakening to resilience. But October invites something deeper: embodiment.
It is one thing to learn theories of pedagogy in a classroom. It is another to step into a real environment, where learning and healing meet — where children’s lives are shaped by presence, patience, and care.
Here lies the shift: from outer growth to inner embodiment. To embody is to let learning move from mind to heart, from theory to practice, from idea to action. Neville Goddard, in The Power of Awareness, wrote:
Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and observe the route that your attention follows.
To embody what I have learned is to assume the state of being already capable, already enough, already present in service — and then to let life align accordingly.
🌌 Trusting the Unknown
There is uncertainty in this step. I do not know how the next three months will unfold — whether I will find ease, or meet challenges that stretch me. But manifesting is never about the certainty of outcome. It is about the certainty of faith.
Florence Scovel Shinn expressed it beautifully in The Game of Life and How to Play It:
Faith knows it has already received and acts accordingly.
Faith is not passive; it is active presence. To walk into this new school with faith is to act as though I already belong, already carry the strength needed, already align with the purpose unfolding. Wayne Dyer, in The Power of Intention, deepened this truth:
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
So I choose to look at this next step not as uncertainty, but as invitation. Not as a test, but as continuation. Not as the end of study, but as the beginning of embodiment.
🌱 Awakening and Manifesting as One Flow
Awakening and manifesting are not two separate movements.
Awakening opens our eyes to see that outer circumstances mirror inner states.
Manifesting invites us to shift those inner states until the mirror reflects what we envision.
The past two months awakened me to trust the flow of life: from TE Office’s unexpected recommendation, to Stadin AO’s acceptance, to the unfolding path toward special education. This awakening is itself a form of manifesting.
Joseph Murphy, in The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, reminds us:
Your subconscious mind is a recording machine which reproduces your habitual thinking.
When habitual thinking is rooted in fear, the subconscious reflects fear. When habitual thinking is rooted in trust, the subconscious reflects alignment. These past months have taught me to release fear and to live in quiet trust.
🌕 Reflections
Looking back, August and September were about awakening — to new opportunities, to resilience, to divine timing. Looking forward, October to December will be about embodiment — living what I have learned, practicing presence, serving in a space that reflects both my strength and tenderness.
This is what awakening and manifesting look like together: not two separate paths, but one sacred flow — awakening into trust, manifesting into embodiment.
