So I turned 47 last week, and that’s also the day that I got sick for almost a week. I rarely get sick, but when I do, my body really stops and wants me to just rest and do next to nothing else. And when I try, it puts me back in bed soon after.
The entire experience was humbling in many ways. It came on the heels of what I feel was a major breach to my energy field from an unexpected place. Because of this, my vibration was lowered (I wasn’t sleeping well either), and hence the sickness set in.
During the days that I was just resting in bed, I listened to sound healing and tried to allow light in my body. It was a powerful time of integration and an energetic upgrade. Giving myself permission to slow down and rest is hard for me to do, as I work so much (too much probably), so this was important.
I saved enough energy to teach an Akashic Records class and to teach an in-person workshop on Jesus (in which we went into the Akashic Records to connect with Jesus). In the workshop, as I entered my own Records, I reflected on the situation that essentially was a psychic attack (although I try not to call it that, not wanting to be in victim mentality more than necessary).
My first instinct was to protect myself from future situations like this. But in the Records and in meditation, I learned that protecting oneself can put up a barrier and can close us off from the world.
Instead, if we walk in light (through emotions like gratitude and love), we become like the sun: anything that is not of light just burns off and can’t touch us.
I also learned that I was meant to work on the lesson of forgiveness. And true forgiveness is not about harboring a grudge or rehashing over and over again, reliving the story, about what that person did that was so bad. Forgiveness means letting it go.
This can be difficult for many of us when part of us is trying to protect us from future harm. It doesn’t mean that we open ourselves up to hurt again, but we trust that when we are guided by light, and in that higher vibrational state, we will just be protected without having to use our own energy to do so.
I am working on this, and as I heal, I feel I am embodying a new sort of surrendering to higher light to show me the way. I’ll let you know how it goes!
