One Month in My Life
My husband and I are ordinary people who have learned to use a few simple spiritual techniques (when we remember)* to make their lives easier and more fun.
Here’s what happened in our lives the month of December. Like everyone nowadays, we are experiencing an enormous amount of change in our lives. After 16 years working in a medical clinic, we are now striking out on our own in a new location with one other practitioner from the clinic. First off, Mike and I began meditating on what it was we wanted, and started envisioning what that would look like. Using the grounding, gold energy and the rose techniques, within six days we found the place we wanted, like magic. Then the three of us agreed upon how to fix the place up, divided the tasks and immediately got to work. I never saw a space undergo a physical transformation so quickly and effortlessly.
Then…Mike and I hit a bump in the road. One night we experienced doubt about our partner being able to successfully complete his part of the remodel. We were in total Chicken Little mode. What have we done? We had lost our faith in ourselves, partner, in the entire idea that this was even the right thing to do. At one point during this stirring emotional drama, I remembered* what I learned in the basic Meditation and Healing classes: that by simply using grounding, gold energy, present time and amusement, we were able to go to bed reassured and calmed down. The next day we walked into the new space and Jim had that morning purchased a small tool that made all the difference in the floor installation. It was a miracle. We took one look at his work and said to each other, “Problem? What problem?” Oh, we of little faith.
Now that the space was closer to being done, we could finally slow down a bit and take a breath. It was at that point we realized what a breakneck speed we were traveling at, and had to acknowledge our bodies were experiencing a state of shock. And what is it that the CDM Meditation and Healing classes have always been teaching? That reality for the spirit is fast moving and reality for the physical body is much slower moving. It was another road bump of “oh yes, my body needs time to catch up with all this change I the Spirit have created.” I allowed myself to slow down some and listen to my body’s communication of its emotions of fear, anger, doubt and old pain. Many of the emotions are connected to old beliefs and ways of operating I’ve had in my past. One thing that was particularly bothering me was expecting everything and everyone to behave as I think it/they should. By using my spiritual ability of neutrality, I eventually could see that my desire to have my other clinic co-workers move into the space across from our new office was based on an old painful pattern that serves no one. I used the rose technique to help me begin releasing old pain, ego and grief from past experience attempting to control others to make myself feel safe. Quickly, with my angel friends’ help, I started forgiving myself and felt better as a result.
As I look back at the previous thirty days, I know what Dorothy felt like. The lightning swift changes that occurred were akin to being swept up in a tornado that picked us up and deposited us not only in a new location, but a completely different reality. Fortunately, the times we allowed our bodies’ doubting intellects or emotions to take over the show, we remembered* we are spirit and we can use these techniques to help us get back on our chosen path.
These techniques really make me feel light and nimble on my feet.
It is Mike’s first day of work at the new office. It is only now we are beginning to appreciate where we have landed and are more aware of all the details God is filling in for us. For example yesterday while outside on the sidewalk in front of the new building, I saw three people struggling to help a handicapped patient out of a vehicle.
It was very tough going. Around the corner came three EMTs. (Their ambulance Headquarters office is on the first floor of our building). I could tell by their expressions and energy they were all ready to offer help. They placed her in one of their special wheelchairs and wheeled her into the elevator entrance. That made me realize “hmm”, there is a medical lab on the lower level, EMTs on the first floor, and a counseling office right next to us on the second. This place is full of healers! And now I look across the hall at the empty space opposite our office and I can believe it is a distinct possibility that space is going to attract another healing business. My earlier rather arrogant expectation of who “should” move in there pales in comparison to this fresh wave of creative energy. One of my many lessons here is just having faith in my ability to heal and change, and by letting go of how I think things should be – all things will unfold as they will. Faith to me means I don’t know everything, don’t have to, and accepting that things can have a magical way of turning out I couldn’t have possibly imagined.
Using these techniques made all the difference in this one month of our lives. We are grateful for all the fantastic spiritual information CDM offers in the classes, videos, inspirational blogs, meditations and books.
We hope everyone reading this will be inspired to use all this wonderful information to make a difference in their lives as well.
In my opinion, we all need this information as I have the distinct knowing that more great changes are on the way!
* Footnote: I put forth the position that remembering could be considered a spiritual technique as well. After all, if one fails to remember to use the techniques, what good are they?
