The Reiki Cafe 

Dear Friends,
I have stood strong in the last eleven days for many who needed strength around me, and today, I feel like I need a hand up. As I see images of such hatred and anger, I am not sure that we do have any say in what will happen in this world, the evil seems so insurmountable. I guess the Christians must have felt that way in the Lion's Den, but if the world is destroyed, what good did it do to stand in peace? All I feel I can do is channel peace and love where I stand, and send Reiki around the world, but then, if there are so many who would REFUSE it, what good does it do?
Honestly, I am having a very hard time feeling love and forgiveness for terrorists, because the hatred and anger I see on their faces feel like a steel aura pushing me away from them. In my daily life, peaceful and loving thoughts are like beacons for me, and people who are angry or aggressive are transformed in the path, and I fear not. But this seems like a horse of a very different color. Oh, please, words of inspiration to help me move through this fear and despair!!!!
Thanks,
In Peace and Love,
Feather

Greetings Feather,
I do not have poetic words to offer you, but I have found that when everything around me seems to turn upside down I look within myself to find inner peace and then I find just one person to share it with. If you can share that peace with one person every day then you have made a difference in his or her life and that has a value that can't be measured. If you can dry one tear or share one smile or touch one heart every day, you pass on love and hope and peace; if they pass it on then together we have all made a huge difference!
Tommorow take an extra moment to talk to the cashier in the grocery store until she smiles or phone an old friend, and for today you touched my heart and I promise to pass that on!!
In Love and Light,
EH

Dear Feather,

Now is the time to find a space to get away from the anger & hatred. Take some time to refresh & renew yourself. Take a warm soothing bath, listen to your favorite music, spend time star gazing, drink alot of water...whatever will give you a feeling of peace & relaxation. It will not change what is around you, but it will help to detoxify the negativity that you are feeling within you. This is EXTREMELY important now. Sensitive people will pick up alot of the negativity that is escalating as shock wears off & anger continues to well up. Ground yourself throughout the day & protect yourself with White Light.
Allowing yourself to get depleted emotionally, spiritually or bodily is the easiest way to lose yourself to negativity.
Please do not be offended, Feather...but one thing that might help is to let go of the need to Reiki & have the outcome you anticipate manifest before your eyes. Reiki goes where it needs to. Let it flow through you & go where it may & know that you are doing your part to help. All anyone can ever do is to do their best. Sending love into the world will help, there is always someone who will accept it.
"If the world is destroyed, what good did it do to stand in peace?" Oh, Feather, nothing is ever truly destroyed. Life & death are cycles & one does not exist without the other. When we die do we cease to exist?
Look deeply into your heart & tell me that one person standing up for good doesnt make a difference to someone somewhere. If you can do that, then it is time for some heavy R&R, my friend.:)
If you believe that evil/negativity is insurmountable than you have lost the battle right there. Sometimes we dont see the benefits of the good we do..one has to have faith, knowing that the stone we throw in the pond WILL have an effect.
One must be kind & merciful with self in order to extend the same to others. As Priestess is always telling me, dont be so hard on yourself. :)
Namaste,
holobon

Blessings, honor, joy and peace on your path, Feather.

I am working in a poorly-lit factory as a temp; the regular employees have been working seven days a week, ten hours a day since early July. It is good money ~ but hard to work with folks who are almost out on their feet, with no hope of any approaching relief. One bathroom wall writing said, "At this company, every day is 'critical.'"

But the beauty for me is, after 8 hours in a huge, million-foot wide factory, the trees are magificent ~ it is if I am truly seeing them for the first time. Folks scurry to make quota ~ get competitive and forget we belong to one another. Here, everywhere, I get to choose who I am ~ moment to moment, what I bring to each moment: a smile, a courtesy, a gentle tease.

Here is a favorite 'tree story' of mine. I celebrate your path and rejoice in the Light, Goodness and Love pouring forth toward you from this cafe and the universe [and to those whose lives you touch].

From Victor Frankel's "Man's Search for Meaning"
[chronicle of his 'creating' logotherapy from his concentration camp experiences]

~ a story of 'inner greatness' ~

"This young woman knew that she would die in the next few days. But when I talked to her she was cheerful in spite of this knowledge. 'I am grateful that fate has hit me so hard.' she told me. 'In my former life I was spoiled and did not take spiritual accomplishments seriously.'

Pointing through the window of the hut, she said, 'This tree here is the only friend I have in my loneliness.' Through the window she could see just one branch of a chestnut tree and on the branch were two blossoms. 'I often talk to this tree,' she said to me. I was startled and didn't quite know how to take her words. Was she delirious? Did she have occassional hallucinations? Anxiously I asked her if the tree replied. 'Yes' What did it say to her? She answered, 'It said to me, "I am here - I am here - I am life, eternal life.'

~

And another short tale ~ from Henri Nouwen

"An old man in India sat by the Ganges River. He saw a scorpion float by, drowning, and reached his hand in the water to save it. Immediately, the creature stung him. The old man's hand started to swell. Several more scorpions floated by, with the same result. The old man reached to save, the scorpions bit, his hand swelled.

"A young man walked by, observing the old man's actions. "You old fool, what do you think you are doing? You will die from the poisonous bite of this creature."

"The old man replied, 'It is the scorpion's nature to bite ~ still, this being so, why do I have to relinquish my true nature, to reach out, assist and embrace/protect the sanctity of all life?'

Sister, Feather, let us not move far from our original nature ~ love. Let not the world change us into something we are not.

~

Truly, though the mountains fall and the springs of the earth dry up, though the stars tumble from the sky like broken children of the Most High, surely, all creation groans with us in our pain, and all creation surrounds,
enfolds, watches o'er and protects us in this crucial moment in history ~ this opportunity for us to tell the universe we stand in Love, Healing & Light.

May your heart and spirit humbly receive the speaking trees, dancing winds, and unfolding compassion that is also a part of this terrible~wondrous opportunity to stretch our collective consciousness into a place of Peace, Light and Joy.

Namaste, Reiki sister,

Beau

Dear Feather,
Thanks once again for your honesty. I have read many of your messages here and they are always filled with love and light. Even in your confusion in this message your kindness and love shines through. Be gentle with yourself. We all need to be in these terrible times. I am also torn in my feelings about this horrible event. Also I have very mixed emotions about the course our country is taking. On the one hand I want see the terrorists brought to justice but on the other want no innocent people hurt. War tends to hurt many innocent people. I only pray that love prevails. We can see that that does happen in our own circles and hope that like a pebble tossed in the ocean our love will radiate out to all. Take care. Namaste. reikibear

Dearest Feather,
My grandest thoughts of light and love are coming your way - you shine a very bright light that guides your way and that of many other around you. Be strong and stand tall - these times are a test for all of us.
... And yet in all this turmoil I can't help but see the exceptional opportunity in front of us - this is the time to gather your strength and shine even brighter. When the darkness around you seems to get even darker it is time to turn up your light. Gather your peace and shine it to every person you meet (Healing is needed and this is your call to heal ... heal yourself from this shock and others around you) and as you send this healing into your surroundings , so it will come back to you and heal you in the process.

If you are having a hard time feeling love and forgiveness for individuals, don't stress ... in the kingdom of the creator we are all loved and all forgiven. We are however expected to take charge and responisbility for our own lives and our own deeds. It is an easier task to be centered in times of peace, however times of hardship require you to dig deeper into those love-resources. So light up your inner candle and make a huge love bonfire of it - so that everyone can see you ..... you, the person that is carrying on .... you, the person that carries the banner of love triumphantly over hatred ..... you, the person who's belief is unaltered in all this darkness .... you, the person whom others can look towards and see that carrying on is possible, essential and a truly beautiful opportunity to make things even better than before.

These times bring tremendous growth to all of us - let us start by looking within and affirming our life, our light, our love and dedication ... and so spread it to all corners of our planet so we may all learn from this experience. And is that not what we are ultimately here for ... to learn?

With supremelight and boundlesslove.
Uandi

Hello feather I will just say to you what my hearts wants to say. You are incredibly strong and loving and as in any crisis there is a time when you just break down and release all the energy surrounding the stressful event. Realize that anger is part of the healing process allow yourself to move thru all the negative emotions and you will find your peace on the other side. You have contributed much now it is time for you to refuel. I was once told you can't ger water from an empty well. Perhaps now it would be a time for you to reflect back on those Celtic stones and what meaning they may hold for you. Maybe it is too soon yet for forgiveness and/or love but know in the end no matter how dark it may get Love conquers all. Hope this is helpful. God Bless you. Beth

Hello Feather! I hope you are feeling better now.Ithink we

all feel sorry about last week´s terrorist attack on your coutry.Hére´s what we did in my Reiki group to help the world in its healing process: We call upon our guides, then visualiced the earth just in front of us and sent Reiki to the cities and places that needed it.It might be simple but i´m sure it did some good.
I saw a movie a few dyas ago titled "Pay it foward".I learned from it that everyone can do something to make a diference and change the world...and that the important thing is the action not the person who did it.
I wonder what would happen if we all were brave enough to do so...
LOve you Feather[[[[[[[hugs]]]]]]]]]]Seeker

Feather,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

- one view is that all the love and peace we send out becomes so empowered that it does not fade away simply because someone we feel needs it is not accepting it right now - right now even bein in this life time -

but such powerful thought-forms can become a part of the Collective Unconscious and thereby have effect sometime in the future -

- after all this is how both love and evil alike are perpetuated across millenia - at least in one view

hope this helps in some way.

Reiki all around,

all blessings,

firekeeper

PS: if you would like I will add you to my list for nightly reiki practices.

Feather,

I have so enjoyed the outpouring of love following your post.

I believe you speak from our collective heart as we struggle to respond in love, light & peace ~ reading the posts of others, it seems our journey is shared; your courage honors the sanctity of this blessed cafe.

I used to be an English major and two passages stirred up as I thought of you and all who seek to hold fast to the Light. I have intentionally not read newspapers or watched television ~ and 'listened' to the events of 9-11 through the loving-kind intent of those from the Reiki cafe.

For me, this community's commitment to peace and love has been as beautiful as an extended, wordless Reiki session/circle ~ with our One Wounded-Collective Body on the table, surrounded by ministering other parts, healing extensions: the inner Circle. These touch the Body directly, and they are joined by others touching those in the inner circle, and still others just outside who touch those touching those in the inner circle, ad infinitum ~ until an outpouring circle of humanity joins in touch, silence and healing intent.

I do not want understanding or answers. I do not want a solid knowable truth. I want to have the blessed experience of mysterious/blessed encounters/revelations ~ which arise moment-by-moment ~ erupting into the awareness that Love, the Divine, the Holy One/Creator, is with us in the very midst of the confusion, terror, chaos, and darkness. For me to go on, I have to revisit my core belief: that Love's presence is enough. As a a good friend sits with us in silence or great grief ~ knowing 'being with' is enough, so, too, Love abides ~ Love offers no explanations or instruction other than Its presence.

~

The first quote if from the 1958 play, "J.B." by Archibald McLeish. The play is a retelling of the story of Job ~ but it has an ending rooted in hope.

J. B. is talking about an indifferent God and saying:

“'God does not love. He (just) is!'

"His wife Sarah interrupts: 'But we do. (We love.) That's the wonder… The candles in the churches are out. The lights have gone out in the sky. But blow on the coals of the heart (my darling) and we'll see by and by… '"

~

From Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters

"have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.

Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."

Blessings, sister

Beau

It seems like "tough love" may be the the way to deal with the terrorists. I don't think that being brought up in a culture of hate enables them to want to receive reiki. My question is whether or not they would receive the reiki energy and if so, would it only strengthen their ability to hate? Maybe reiki is not always the answer. It would be good if we could turn their hate into love through reiki, but even Jesus Christ could not make that difference in everyone he came into contact with.

I think we can try to respond with love and most people in NYC seems to be responding in this way. I think that people realize that the terrorsits are the guilty party involved and that those of the Islamic faith are not all guilty. This is a manifestation of the way we can respond with love; not to hate, but at least try to apply reasonable understanding where we can, and to better our understanding of US foreign policy, the Middle Eastern cultures, and ways to help those out there who are in need. I think that the "silver ligning" in all of this is that the women who are oppressed by the Taliban will soon be free through US efforts to toppple the Taliban. That will be a good outcome.

The toppling of the WTC can also be seen as a "cry for help" by those confused perpetrators.

AIM

Dear Uandi,
You speak wisely. Yes, all is ultimately forgiven, and we have responsibility for our own hearts. Yes, we have a tremendous opportunity to go very deep now.
Thank you,
Feather

Thank you, your words are truly helpful. Ah, the stones, I must return to them.
Feather

Dear EH,
I know just what you are saying...but somehow when I posted, I felt I had lost that inner peace and light. Perhaps it was time to refuel and cleanse. I feel better today after I gave a Reiki treatment...what a gift we have been given...to touch the Light in this way. From all the postings here, and love received physically in my home and community, I now feel my light glowing again, just like E.T.'s heartlight!
Thanks,
Feather

Accept this offering, healing community~

~

All offerings matter.

Each night, as we look back at our day ...
Let's honor moment's when we responded from the Ground of Peace & Love.
Not with judgment, or by strict score-keeping,
but the way proud parents look lovingly through photo albums.
Flaws, mistakes, guffaws are swallowed in a glorious tide of healing Love.

Love & Peace have their own manner of measure
~ quality supercedes quantity ~
Perhaps, in one tiny gift, lies the seed of world-healing.

Let's spread tiny peaceful acts.
Small ones.
Seemingly inconsequential acts.
Choose One.
Create One.
Explore possibilities ~ try some on.
Mention one to a friend that brings you Peace.
Remember: Everything matters ~ especially trying.

Tuck in your backyard trees and insects with a lullaby.

Smile.
Breathe deeply.
Savor moments ~ take pictures in your mind of great scenes, scribble them on your heart.
Give thanks for no particular reason ~
Or for ~all~ reasons.

Notice EVERYTHING in nature
Sneak a copy of a favorite poem, story, or love-note
Into your child's or spouse's lunchbox
Grab a pocket full of quarters and start boosting minutes on your neighbors' parking meters

Write a prayer to God, Allah, Yahweh, Mohammed,
Love, Beauty, Wonder, or even The Velveteen Rabbit
Fold it, tuck it under a rock.
Thank the rock.
Hug a tree.
Thank a tree when you touch a piece of paper or envelope.

Put a family member's towel or robe in the dryer while they shower.
Wrap them in unexpected warmth.

If your spouse or sleep~mate starts to shiver this winter
Get up ~ without a sound ~ grab thick socks.
Put them on her/him.
Do someone else's chore and do not let on you did it.

See leaves dance,
Bow to the trees.
Thank them for our breath.
Greet each sunrise, each sunset with a song of welcome.
Pay the toll for the car behind you on the turnpike.

Lay on the ground and hug the earth before recycling.
Pick up trash that is not yours.
Wrap someone who is troubling you in White Light ~
Hold their hands in your mind and look in their eyes 'til all you see is Love
Know every bothersome person/task holds a gift.

First thing in the morning, look into the mirror with love.
Tell yourself, "I am beautiful.
I love you this day, just as you are."
Believe in the best of the world at times when proof seems paltry.
Sing when you are afraid.
When you feel most alone, call a friend who you know is struggling.

Thank the sun.
Thank the stars.
Bless the sky.
Challenge your child to a game of cloud-pictures.
Walk barefoot in the grass with no destination.

Get two flashlights in a dark room with a child, spouse or friend
~ play tag against the walls and ceilings.
Of course, Light chases Light.
Darkness serves one function:
As background ~ to reveal the Light.

When you shower,
Thank your body for carrying you.
Thank your ancestors for shaping, forming, bringing forth each blessed cell.
Remember during periods of self-absorption, self-concern ...
Don't take yourself seriously ~
In seven years every cell in your body will be replaced anyway.

Then, who will you be?

~

Peace comes through intent.
Intent erupts wondrously through small increments.
Lasting growth loves tiny increments!!

Like the Taoist, let's not storm the world with efforting ~
Let's not-act [wu-wei]
Following nature, trusting unseen Holy Purpose
Amazing~
No~thing is left undone.

Praise yourself each day for baby steps toward peace ~ celebrate fumbles backward.

Find peace within, by giving peace to others.

Special thank you Ramayana
and especially our industrious, focused little squirrel.

Any who have further ideas for baby-steps to peace
~ the stranger, the more child-like the better...
send me an e-mail or post to this.

I have a writer's crazed belief that gentle epistles can achieve what storming missiles never will.

Blessings ~ Beau

Ah, I almost forgot ~ the little critter who inspired this torrent of words:

HOW THE SQUIRREL GOT ITS STRIPES

A Tale from the Ramayana of India
Retold by Laura Simms
"Each serves according to their strength"

[There are more healing stories of children at

Long ago in ancient India a ten-headed monster called Ravana the Rakshasa kidnapped a king’s beloved wife. The king was named Rama and his queen was named Sita. Everyone loved the king and queen because their hearts were pure. King Rama waged war on Ravana and set off to battle. The great king of monkeys, King Hanuman, led the army.

They traveled until they came to a vast sea that they would have to cross to reach Ravana’s kingdom. King Rama attempted to calm the raging ocean by shooting his magic arrows into the waves. But the King of the Sea rose up and said, "The seas can not be overcome by force, but only by building a strong bridge." So, King Rama ordered his monkeys to construct a stone bridge that could hold his entire invading army.

Monkey after monkey set to work carrying huge stones and enormous boulders to the seaside. Thousands of monkeys worked ceaselessly and King Rama was pleased. Then the king noticed that a small brown squirrel rushed up and down from the hills to the shore carrying little pebbles in her mouth. "What is that little creature doing?" he wondered.

The monkeys also saw the squirrel and grew angry. "Get out of our way," they screeched. "You are too small. You are not needed."

The little squirrel looked up and said, "I am helping to build the bridge to save Queen Sita." All the monkeys began to laugh. They held their sides and roared and hopped and mocked the little squirrel. "We have never heard anything so foolish in our entire lives," they said.

The squirrel answered, "I can not carry rocks or stones. I can only lift small pebbles, but that is what I can do to help. My heart weeps for Sita and I want to be of assistance."

The monkeys moved the squirrel away, but she continued to carry small pebbles and pile them up nearby. Finally, one monkey grew so irritated that he lifted the little animal and threw her into the air. The squirrel cried out, "Rama!" The king lifted his hand and caught the squirrel safely in his palm.

It was just at that moment that the monkeys realized they needed the little pebbles to place between the larger stones to keep the bridge from falling.

King Rama said to them, "Monkeys, never despise the weak or the deeds of those that are not as strong as you. Each serves according to his strength and capacities and each is needed to make this bridge." With three fingers, King Rama drew three lines down the squirrel’s back. "What truly matters is not the strength one has, but how great one’s love and devotion is." From that day forth squirrels have had three pale stripes on their rich brown furry backs—marks of the great King Rama. And that is how the strongest bridge across the sea was built.

~

With love, devotion and more than a bit of squirreliness ~

Beau

Addendum to "Baby Steps to Peace'

When your children are asleep, pull a "Garth" [written about in John Irving's "The World According to Garp"]:

sneak into their/his/her room and watch as they lay still; give them a kiss without them knowing.

Slightly more elaborate variation suggested by Irving:

Hire a babysitter, act like you are going for a parent's night-out, sneak into the basement without kids knowing and listen to your child/children play

~ their noises, laughter, squeaks, footsteps, singing, etc. See them like a stranger ~ as if for the first time. Now, truly, know you are blessed.

Namaste ~

beau

Beau,
I loved this post - I am often able to 'listen in' on my daughter's play with friends or on her own - she is usually so engrossed she wouldnt notice if I was in the same room actually! She is joy in motion at times, or quiet wisdom (her advice, dispensed freely to all her toys etc is awesome!). Yes, I am truly blessed and thank you for the reminder!
Love, Light & Reiki Rainbows
Namaste
Eaglestar

Another favorite baby step possibility came to mind:

[This is especially great for adolescent girls birthdays or a celebrative rite commenmorating womanhood ~ but can easily be adapted]

Plan ahead.

Without daughter's awareness, have many of her friends, adult support, aunts, uncles or grandparents get together quietly about 4:15 a.m. in the home where daughter sleeps ~ [be sure to huddle in a room far from her bedroom without making a noise].

Wake up daughter, EVERYBODY ~ perhaps jump on her and do a Grandma's featherbed awakening. Do not let her get dressed [robe is optional] ~ take her in her pajamas and the most ridiculous slippers you can find [Tweetie Bird, Lady Bug, and the Tazmanian Devil are personal favorites]. If you have a strong person present, have them carry her down the stairs or to the car.

Take her and the gang out to breakfast as an all-night diner. Make lots of noise and fuss over her. Sing if you want.

Blessings ~

Please post or email your own offerings. Offering these peace queries is the only method I have right now to be a peacekeeper ~ I would not know one end of an M-16 from the other.

Namaste

Namaste Beau,

Thank you. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for reminding me of my blessings in the midst of my hardships.

Blessings to you and yours, always,
Dina

Namaste Feather:
I think it is OK to feel angry with respect to what happened on Sept 11th. It was a heinous act. To not feel angry is to not be human and to deny yourself. After you deal with your feelings and allow yourself to feel them, for they are indeed legitimate, the you can work on the forgiveness part if that is what suits you.

If you read my dream that I posted a week or so ago, on this message board (you may have to scroll down in order to find it, but you will), the message in the dream was not that bad things happen, but how you respond that is the most important thing. This message came to me six years ago in a dream of which events seemed to parallel the events of September 11th. It will not be easy, but it is the only thing that we have control over. We cannot control whether or not bad things happen, but we can control our individual selves.

I alternate between anger and sadness. I withnessed the events at "ground zero" and my office is/was only one block away from the World Trade Center. I mainly feel sorry for the terrorists--they are so confused and full of hate.

AIM

Thanks, AIM,
Your dream recounting was very healing. I have not yet felt anger per se, but great disbelief, sorrow and fear. I do feel very sad for the terrorists because they truly believed they were going straight to paradise. HMMM. Who knows? I guess I am sad for them that they did not experience the bliss of pure peace and joy, and boundless tender love. I am sure they were afraid. I still just feel amazed at how dis-eased a person can be, but I have chosen at this point not to dwell on this, but to focus on manifesting peace and love in myself. I also have been using Tonglen on my dreams , taking in the fear that arises and transforming it to peace and love. Thank you for all your wisdom.
Peace,
Feather

You are greatly welcome!
What is Tonglen and how is it applied to dreams? Please explain!

AIM

Hello!
I will cite Karyn Mitchell in "Reiki Mystery School":
"The word 'Tonglen' translates to 'giving and receiving' in Tibetan. In order for this to become a powerful practice, one must first open their heart and awaken the energy of compassion. The practice of Tonglen involves taking on all the suffering of the person, place or thing that you are working on and giving them love, healing and well being in return. .....To begin this process...find yourself in a comfortable, quiet place. Begin to quiet your mind. Ask your Guides, Angels, those from the Highest Light... to be there with you to help with their Greate Wisdom and Divine Love.Envision before you the person, place or event . (I suggest that you always begin with the Self). Feel all this person's pain and suffering, or the suffering surrounding the event. Open your heart with compassion to this person and imagine all the suffering that surrounds them as a mass of grimy, black smoke.

Breathe in a deep breath, and visualize this black smoke drawing into your heart. YOur love transmutes or filters that black grime into light. You exhale this Light back to the other person. Feel this Light as deep compassion, and know that those Higher Beings are participating in this experience as well.Negative karma, and this dark smoke, is purified in the process."

Hope this is helpful. If you do a google.com search, I believe there are many sites about Tonglen. So, basically, I took all the dark feelings my dreams aroused and followed basically as above.
Love,
Feather

Dearest Beau,
*hugs you warmly***

What a beautiful spirit you have. I was paging backwards to look at all the lovely, touching, inspiring, uplifting, heart warming posts you have posted and was so joyful to read them.
I was reminded of these parables I've been reading lately by Kryon. Your spirit is so lovely to behold and you bring alot of comfort and a big smile upon my face when I read your works of Love.

Funny how spirit brings us what we ask for when we are clear as to what we wish have/read.

I was thinking today about posting on different things I have read and how at times, I forget the difference(within me) in what I am reading and my gut reactions. It seems like there are posts, books, tapes, etc.. that I read that leave me sorrowful, sad, angry, regretful, confused. I know these are healings, but do we really need to continue to hurt to heal I wonder? ugh...Just Put The Book Down for Goodness sakes! * laughs * haven't learned that one yet I dont think..

Like a ray of Light, someone like you and even the Kryon parables and uplifts me and reminds me that this is how reading and learning are SUPPOSED to make you feel.
Uplifted always. Makes you unafraid to go out and learn when you don't fear what will happen when you heal. Teach only Love. Love is all there Is.
Knowing this is truth, there is really no need to teach in any other manner is there? :}}

I was listening to "Carolyn Myss" tapes, energy anatomy. She tells a story of a woman who has a near death experience. She was literally dead from a car accident and could 'hear' the reactions of those around her! The folks were groaning about the fact they had to wait because there was an accident ahead, their personal agendas etc...
Then, a ray of Light shone down upon her and she said,'what is that?'
Like a beam of direct knowing she saw the tag of a car and heard a womans voice speaking. "please God, help the woman in the car in front of me for her highest good (something like that)send her love and healing."
Well the woman could see and remembered the tag number and though in the hospitial for months, when she recovered, she found out the womans address from the tag number and went to see her flowers in hand!
Just goes to show you that all our prayers are truly heard, and that our love is instantaneiously given upon request. This didnt' seem in any way to go against what she wanted, but helped her to live. :}}
Now that one is a story that uplifts eh?

I see now that if information is not making me feel good, or makes me uneasy, possibly it is because it is not for me. Of course there are times when it is just uncomfie to see myself, but there IS a big difference in the material itself as we continue to listen or read.

We tend to forget in this world of free choice that the choices we make are truly as simple as a thought. That if we stay with the belief that any thing is possible with Spirit and it is easy, it will remain so. I get bogged down sometimes in denser vibrations and forget this truth. There is a higher wisdom working in the universe and all we need to do is have faith in its ability to deliver the perfect situations for our self healing.

It was not taught or brought to my awareness as a healer, until after my actual attunements that I could not heal on the physical level(baloney of course, we can heal the phsycial and do). I truly believed that I could do this once I started my healing work, some inner knowing was guiding me.

One night when I lay down, my bursitis was hurting me very badly. My R. shoulder was aching so badly, I'd begun to cry. I told the pain to go away. I felt it draining down my arm and I freaked out. It felt as if someone had turned down the pain o meter in my arm. Drained right out! Of course, a few mins later, I felt it trying to return. I said, I told you to go away, so Go Away! Again it drained out of my body. Slept really great that night.

Not long after that, once my mental mind caught up with me, I began to have doubts and thoughts as to my ability to do this. I seemed to have lost my connections with reading materials that would have helped me move past this old belief that was coming up again to be fully healed, my new awareness. On some level it was perhaps my worthiness issues that were surfacing at the same time.

Though if I had read some things, or talked to supportive folks that would have bolstered my belief in being able to heal this way, I believe I would have healed this for good right then.
I see lots of writings that talk about how much practice it takes to do specific things, and I wish I was articulate enough to say in a loving way,
"Hey, it truly doesnt' have to be so hard!! You can manifest these things much easier if you don't think about it so much, (dont' worry, just believe without needing to define) if you just believe that before you have asked, you have been given exactly what you need, and are always supported by spirit."
Because I have healed a number of physical issues in my body in the past two years and these are not things that are easily explained.
For every word spoken upon this ability, there are ways to unexplain the unexplainable. Just a thought, just a belief, just by allowing, forgiving we Can create miracles. Thank You for reminding me of this so eloquently.

I notice that ALL your posts are like this by the way. A self esteem booster, a morale jolter. Like a mini healing, and so I wanted to say Thank You so much for your light and your love on this board.

Today, you answered my prayers, and you inspired me to write too.

I send you my love and may you be blessed many times over for your natural gift of sharing.

Om Shanti
