Learn to decipher if it’s a block or divine redirection, why your manifestations aren't working, and how sacred stillness could be designing your soul’s next chapter. First Published on 15/10/2008 17:49 Second revised edition - Published on 09/07/2025 14:15 Feeling unheard isn’t always abandonment?
