Recently I was asked to step up to the plate. I was asked if I would take on a challenge and I agreed. It was only a challenge in that I had never actually DONE that which I was called upon to do but, when asked, I trusted that I would be up for it. And the day came. I am an Vibrational Healer though and know that if this was something I could not handle, Spirit would have made that known beyond a shadow of a doubt. It had not and here I was, ready to step off the ledge.
I prayed in the morning for assistance from the Divine Source. The task, as presented to me, was to assist a dear friend of another friend of mine in transitioning out of her body. She is still a relatively young 50 something so leaving was a big consideration. Other than being with my Father as he transitioned, at the ripe old age of 92, with my acknowledging that it was his time to go, I had never been asked to do something of this nature.
So in a reverent state, I connected with the person I was to assist, through the ethers, and shared that we were going to be embarking on a wonderful adventure and that she had a choice. Did she want to continue on or leave? I then let it go.
The Soul in question had been in the hospital for almost 18 months and, up until yesterday, she had been unable to do almost ANY thing. But things had changed as we were soon to find out.
We were met at the hospital by another friend of the Soul in question who excitedly shared that Anna (not her real name) was sitting up in bed and actually speaking words. I had this huge rush of energy course through me as I realized that something had definitely shifted with that request for assistance earlier. I could sense myself being prepared for what was to come.
We walked into the room and this tiny woman lay in the bed looking up at us. I had met her once a few years ago but this was a mere shell of her former self. The look she gave ME was overwhelming. She didn't remember much of what had been going on of late but, as her friends shared that she had been communicating with them that she wanted to leave this life, she simply nodded and just kept looking at me.
I asked if she knew why her friends had brought me to visit her today and she nodded. That same intense look stared at me and with tears in my eyes, I said "You are most definitely not ready to go Anna. You have work to do. Should we get going...now?" She hoarsely croaked "Yes."
I won't go into the details but suffice to say, it was one of the most memorable experiences in my life so far. One of her friends is also a Reiki practitioner so I asked her to lend her energy and, since her other friends were also there, I said that they only need send love for their friend and breathing together, we started.
At one time during this short healing session, there was a split second where I thought "whoa, this is really intense", but just worked through it, as everyone else in the room was clearly terrified by what was being released. This poor woman just kept her eyes glued to mine as she coughed and coughed and coughed.
The original reason for her hospitalization was that she had had a double lung transplant so a clearing of this magnitude was huge. I asked if she had enough and she wheezed yes. I placed my hand on her chest and, breathing together, we brought her back into a quiet place. Never once did her eyes leave mine. I finally stepped back and asked if she was o.k. She answered in a clear strong voice
The reason for me sharing this particular day in my life is that this is my calling. I am a Healer and, while most of the time I am very comfortable doing whatever I am asked to do in my assistance to the Divine, THIS was something entirely different.
In my stepping up to the plate without hesitation, I came into a place of love for who I am. This has not always been the case on this journey that is my life. But, with accepting this particular challenge I found a new strength within.....a strength that I trust.....a strength that is bolstered by my trust in Spirit as it channels through me. I understand my purpose and I am able to breathe.........knowing that I have found MY way.
Long ago and far away I certainly did not see this life for myself. I was going to be "like everyone else" yet, try as I might, it never felt "right". Now, it feels oh so very right. I feel right.
So today, on this day of Thanksgiving, I give thanks for the discovery of who I am as a Soul. I do proclaim it GOOD.
Blessings abound
