Community - A Spiritual Story
When we think of community, we may consider pot lucks, gatherings, common interests, sweet reasons to find each other and more. It seems positive when we hear of the word community.
I like to split the word to discover within geographical areas for a reason for “Common Unity.”
During the time that I held a healing center in Southern California I had the distinct honor of hosting or holding space for small, intimate groups. They were groups of hikers, wedding parties, “red hat” organizations and more. It was always fun and a great learning curve for me as a business woman, as well as working on mastering the challenges of being a sensitive and a healer, in larger groups of mixed energies.
One of my clients was a director in a large lending institution. Her company were providing a massive give-back to the organizations that had supported them during the year. It was at that special thankful time of year right after Thanksgiving that they were holding their event in a gorgeous local hotel. They would have a murder mystery interaction, trays of gourmet finger food provided, and in the midst of all of this, she wanted me to bring my team of therapists to offer chair and seated foot massages.
We created a great price, so that each therapist was rewarded for their efforts. My mum and I would oversee and could jump in if it got very busy, as there were over 300 people going to be at this event. Of course, we anticipated only half or less choosing to mess their hair or have their feet pampered, but that still made it 150 participants for my 7 therapists.
Mum and I showed up and she set up the foot chairs, against the wall, with a small chair and table with sanitizer, our foot lotions, and a clip board to keep a list of who wished to receive their 20 minute foot or clothed upper body massage, and to gather emails. I set up 4 chairs for seated chair massages, with a disposable face holder chair, complete with sanitizers and tissues.
We were all ready when over 300 people descended upon us. The line began and didn’t stop. I observed all of this. Within 30 minutes of the 2.5 hour event, one of my massage therapists excused herself and let me know she had to leave. The line was waiting, so I nodded to my mum over on the foot massage station and stepped in to conduct the chair massage. I forgot that I may not give a ready-to-go massage and that the Angels and Guides love impromptu opportunities to share their insights.
The first woman who approached me was someone who knew the organizer and was totally delighted to have me be her quickie 20 minute chair massage therapist. I closed my eyes and placed my hands flat on both of her tight shoulders. Suddenly I saw a vision of two little girls on either side of her.
I leaned into her and whispered in her ear that if I had any spiritual information for her, would she wish to hear it? She lifted her head and nodded, telling me she had heard something about my helpful insights and welcomed them. I leaned into her ear to whisper what I was getting, at the same time as the murder mystery had an actor drop down with fake blood, right in front of me.
It was ironic that we were so deep, while something so utterly superficial was happening at the same time in the same spot. I was describing the two little girls, one a little older and more faded, like a spirit, with a hand on her heart, and the other a tiny bit younger, and solid like a human here on this earth plane. She was quietly weeping in that public massage chair. I handed her a tissue and continued to massage her, reminding her that we don’t lose anyone, we all simply change form.
I left her to gather herself, while the pretend dead guy on the floor of his murder mystery was getting loud applause. This distraction allowed my recipient of the spiritual work to get up and find her way to the restroom to gather herself. She stopped by my chair and held my hand with bright eyes. She had a gorgeous little girl, and had become pregnant very soon after her first daughter died of heart complications. It was a loss she hadn’t had time to fully grieve and she didn’t understand. The session really helped her to make peace with the truly harsh reality of losing a sweet child.
She sent a whole slew of people to my chair and I was busier than I wished to be, however, the greatest story had already happened in such a loud, unexpected public community event.
We all had a very good evening and that one lady found peace in the midst of a murder mystery.
You have to love the ironies of life here on this plane.
