Receiving - A Spiritual Story.
They say it’s better to give than receive,
and yet in spiritual terms,
this isn’t true at all.
It’s important for balance to occur, that we both receive and give.
This applies in all areas of life.
I was in my earlier years better at giving than receiving, due to being incorrectly informed that it was less selfish. Life is all about balance. We know night because of day, we know satiation due to knowing hunger, we know busy and rest, and so on. Life is naturally filled with opposites, and the yin yang of it creates the right levels to generate balance. I have a couple of sweet examples of how much I’ve received from my healing practice and ultimately from the amazing work and guidance, way beyond anything I could possibly know in human terms.
The first example is simple, while the second example is more detailed.
I have for many years led relaxation and meditation classes. They were quite popular, inexpensive to attend and easy to just drop into. My mum always sat on the front desk to sign people in, receive payment and welcome each participant. She would sit at the desk, eyes closed, while the meditation was taking place, enjoying every moment of the ambience.
Candles were lit everywhere, incense burned and gentle music played in the background. One of the most memorable events was a full class. We had 25 bodies all laying around, while I guided them on a visual journey. I would be guided to share a few scenes with the gathered group and they would be encouraged to fill in the details.
We did a good long journey and it took me quite a while to fully bring everyone back into the healing center’s room. We all sat in the soft glow, silently returning, sipping water, relaxing in the gentleness we were sharing. I began staring at a new participant I hadn’t seen before. He had entered the center as a late 50’s man with a balding head, clean shaven, slim in a simple thin pale blue sweater and stretch pants. His face was kind, thoughtful, and business like.
The man that came out of that meditation was a big man, who had thick red wavy hair and a big, thick red beard. He wore a thick cream patterned knit sweater and a kilt. He was obviously of Scottish heritage. I looked away and stared at him once more. He smiled at me with a broad smile from a much larger, red cheeked face than the one the man who had entered the center had worn. I was amazed and I was transfixed.
The rest of the class followed my attention, and to my surprise, they began commenting on seeing him as I was viewing him. Every single one of the class saw him as a larger, hairy Scottish man too. We all began to fully return and the man eventually morphed back into the balding, slim man who had walked into the room. He acknowledged that his ancestry consisted of thick, rugged Scottish clansmen. We all received vision that night. It was a huge gift.
The second experience I’m enjoying sharing with you is that a lovely elegant woman came to my center out of the blue. She wasn’t referred and simply stumbled upon us because we were based next door to a yummy sandwich shop. She stepped into a massage with my fellow therapist at that time. She also stopped by the front desk on her way out and booked a reading with my mum.
When Katerina returned I sat with her and I was reading her life off into the future. I saw her as a gifted artist, who could paint on canvas, or design rooms. She would be popular and at the higher end of this work, which would generate great success. I saw an old man who wasn’t the ideal man to walk beside her. I saw her instead with a dark skinned interesting man, who had a whole bunch of gorgeous flowers around his neck, although I didn’t understand why I wasn’t able to see any color in them. I didn’t know if I was seeing the past or something old fashioned about him. I felt she had a soul connection with him, and for some reason he was out of reach and couldn’t be with her. I didn’t know if he was trapped in some way, like in a bad marriage.
I just knew she was going to meet him soon if she hadn’t already and would be more than instrumental in getting him to his freedom and then they could be together for some time, if not for life. I told her she would feel like she was sharing and seeing the World, through the eyes of a child for the first time, because of him.
It would be more than precious. I felt he hadn’t been in the world for more than 25 years.
Katerina had such lovely energy, huge integrity and was very polite and kind, even though she had no idea what I was talking about. That’s fine. In the best guidance, I usually don’t know what I’m sharing with people either.
Within a few weeks, Katerina returned.
She let me know that she was a very well known and successful interior designer. She was married to a man who was more than 20 years her senior and was pretty disinterested in her.
She had begun going to prisons to do her hypnotherapy work and found an inmate who was really fascinating on every level. She had such a connection with this man, she couldn’t stop thinking about him. She began visiting him often. She left her husband who was still way too involved with his ex-wife, and she also began petitioning for her soul mate, and to gain his release. He’d been put away for manslaughter for over 30 years.
Katerina told him about her sessions with me.
He was excited that his feelings of great love for her were confirmed. It touched him that she saw the real him. He was moved by the openings relating to him during the sessions she and I had shared. They were already very much in love when her divorce became final.
He undid a couple of buttons on his shirt at their next visit, to show her his tattoo of a lei of flowers around his neck in black and white, just as I’d seen before she met him.
I kept guiding her through some testing times leading up to his release.
He was first transported to one of the islands to prepare him for civilian life. Finally after 2 years or more he came home to her via unusual channels.
They are together. She has had great pleasure in re-introducing him to a grand life and a World he’d never really experienced. She was experiencing the World through the eyes of a child in a man’s body, because he had been in jail for so long. She had to help him learn everything again. Life changes a great deal in over 30 years.
I am still in contact with this elegant and gorgeous woman and she continues to live happily ever after with her man that she helped set free.
I receive so much with stories like these.
