Dear Friends,
This past weekend I was fortunate to have heard Anita Moorjani speak at the Unity Church here in Seattle. I have heard her talk several times on the radio but to be in her presence was such a wonderful treat. The unconditional love she embodies was uplifting and healing during my time at her talk. If you have not heard of Anita, she wrote the book “Dying To Be Me”.
This book is her journey on the other side while her physical being was in a coma just hours from death. She was dying from lymphoma that had ravaged her body. When Anita came back from the afterlife she completely healed from her cancer within a very short time.
The doctors were astonished and told her this was not good news! They did not believe that her cancer could go away that quickly. In fact, they told her, they would keep looking until they found it!! Despite Anita telling them she KNEW she was healed the doctors did not believe her. Eventually, they did finally agree she was cancer free, many diagnostic tests later.
I’ve been contemplating on this inability that we have to doubt these kinds of things can happen. And yet, in my reverie, I also have pondered about why we doubt so easily. If our bodies are powerful enough to create illness, shouldn’t they be just as powerful to create health as well!
I had a conversation with someone this week about a fire I had a few years ago. At that time, I was down in my den having dinner with a friend. I kept feeling a very strong nudge to go upstairs and get some water. I wasn’t feeling particularly thirsty, yet, this urge would not dissipate. I succumbed and went upstairs to get a glass of water and thank my guardian angels I did! My stove and backsplash behind the stove were in flames! If I had not gone up stairs when I did, if I had hesitated even a few more seconds, I could have lost my home or had a much bigger issue to deal with. And thankfully my friend was there to help with the fire extinguisher!
A few days after telling this person the story about the fire, she shared with me she did not believe me when I told her about my feeling that I was being guided to go upstairs. She thought that it was just because I was thirsty, as simple as that. She then shared that the day after we talked she heard a group of psychiatrists speaking. They were talking about how things happen that we sometimes can’t explain. Basically, they were talking about intuition, perception and sensitivity to the unknown. She then told me she knew, after hearing these professionals, that I had spoken the truth to her about my experience.
Several years ago, I had quit my job as a nurse at Boeing, and took 6 months off from work. I spent most of my days, walking in the parks, going to movies, reading books and sitting in contemplation. Mostly just enjoying BEING! After a couple of months, I was on one of my walks in my favorite park. I was walking and gazing out at the water and beach and all of a sudden, the rocks came alive! I’m not talking about metaphorically alive, I mean, really alive!!! They were vibrating at a very high rate and actually talking, well more like chattering! I realize now, I was in such a quiet calm space inside myself that my sensitivities were heightened. The experience lasted for about 20 seconds, long enough to embed into my consciousness and was one of the most profound experiences I have had in my life.
I have not shared that experience with many people. You can probably guess why I have not, right? Most people would probably say I was delusional, crazy perhaps! And yet, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt this actually happened. I was probably more clear than in most times of my life. I have never had that particular experience again. But I do know that experience is partly why I have always loved collecting stones. They have their own life force energy that feels very much alive to me.
The common thread that runs through the stories above is that they all represent the unseen becoming seen!. The unbelievable becoming believable! Many of us need an authority figure to validate our experiences or diagnostic tests to show what we already know to be true!! Life seems so mysterious and yet when the above kinds of things happen, life becomes magical and even more real.
If we start to embrace, believe and trust in what our senses are telling us, the mysterious and miraculous can become ordinary yet extraordinary!! Every day we are getting prodded by the unseen world in a myriad of ways. Some of this prodding can seem like it’s just coming from our own heads. And yet, if we take a deep breath, and listen, feel, and then act, the simple things can become sublime!
Today I asked my guides what to write for my blog. I was guided to go to the water and walk along a path I enjoy here in Seattle. My mind was urging me to go home and get some things done. My soul and guides kept urging me to the water. I listened and went to the water.
At the end of my path my eyes were drawn to several rocks of various shapes, sizes, striations, and colors. I collected a few to add to my gardens. I then remembered my experience so many years before with the rocks. I knew then, I was being guided to share my story with you. Maybe you will think I’m a bit crazy. But just maybe, you will believe me without needing proof, and the door will open in your own soul for a similar profound experience if this has not happened for you yet.
I suspect you each have had amazing experiences some of which you may doubt within your own mind. I urge you to believe, to trust, and maybe even to share with another person. It may seem crazy to do so, but it is so much more fun than the alternative which shuts us done and creates our lives to be so much less colorful.
On this day of miracles, I wish you many crazy, wonderful, heightened moments where the ordinary moments grab your attention and make your heart sing!!
And wishing you a Blessed and Happy Easter,
Namaste,
