Song of Life - A Spiritual Story
I love the sentence and title of this spiritual story. Life is a story book that is constantly turning a page, unfolding in it’s own sweet way. Life is also a song with harmony and lyrics, telling a tale of who life is. We have been poets, lyricists and music makers in our lives since time began. There have been many times when individuals from creative and artsy walks of life have come seeking the guidance that flows through me.
Those have often been my favorite sessions and the shared times have mostly exceeded my realm of experiences. We deserve to sing the song we most wish and deserve. I have rarely been disappointed in how these sessions went, however, when you work with enough people, there are going to be those who cross boundaries you didn’t even realize you needed to set. For the sake of balance I’m going to share a boundary crossing song of life story and a lovely warm and sweet more harmonious one.
Here’s the boundary crossing one…………
I set an appointment many years ago (when they weren’t set online) and she was referred by a close client, who always showed up with great respect and no issues. I wholeheartedly set the time and date. The young woman came in a glorious bohemian outfit. She was an actress and artist. She sat with me, cried, laughed and had a great experience, worthy of a massive hug and thank you.
As she was about to leave, I broached the payment subject and she shook her head, letting me know she planned to gift me an art piece. There hadn’t been any conversation we had shared and it came as a massive surprise. I let her know that I didn’t need art, and instead had rent to pay, which was usually made from sessions for cash of some sort. She told me she had no intention of paying “actual money” for our Divine gifting.
I was shocked and realized a feeling of helplessness in my song of life, as I couldn’t make her pay me at all. It was one of those few times when you know you aren’t going to receive what you’re worth and that you need better boundaries to ensure this doesn’t happen again. She left and of course no art came. The funny thing is that she tried to book at a future date and I declined working with her again. She sent me a really disappointed note that I didn’t respond to. She had no idea of her own lesson, and the most important part of my song of life, was to learn my lessons. This has never happened since. Yay Me!!!
A sweeter song of life was that I had a beautiful actor who came to see me over a year with some regularity. He got so balanced and content with his sessions of wisdom and even some bodywork, that his life became more successful and abundant. His last appointment was so celebratory, that he tipped me a whole additional session, more than paying for the artist who chose to stiff me. My song of life is balanced like that. What goes out of one door, finds its way in through another and there are two experiences for the price of more than two. I love this song of life and I’m so happy and grateful to be living it.
