I see that for several of my students, and myself, healing has been in the air.
There are cycles in life. Different energies present themselves at different times, facilitating new opportunities, new possibilities. For example, during spring, they say love is in the air. The energy present now lends itself to a time for life healing.
There are two kinds of emotional healing. Self healing is done self-to-self; we can only overcome the issues by bringing love to ourselves. Life healing requires the living of life for us to move through and past our issues. As we experience life and allow both life and ourselves to change, our life experience changes and heals us.
There is a reason we are here having an experience called life and that is so that we live it. Sounds obvious, I know, but people commonly would like to avoid life because it can be a hard and cruel experience. And so, people often do avoid things: how they feel, what they need, feeling unhappy, conflict, love, risk.
The ultimate problem with avoiding life though, is that nothing ever changes. We exhaust ourselves using our will and our energy to keep life at bay, creating a stagnant, un-changing place for ourselves which is outside our Golden Flow (TM), or outside of our Source’s reach.
Despite our resistance, life persists, trying to help us to heal and to evolve. For some of my students it has brought love their way, for others it has brought a new level in life with a new job, a new retirement. They face issues in claiming their own personal power, in coming to know Who they truly are and in learning to be who they are regardless of what happens. Because we, as people, are all connected at energetic levels, it is common for us to go through the same energy, which is experienced according to our own level of development. Thus, I see the same healing energy that my students are going through as I see in a few other people and myself.
My healing flow has come to me in the form of a visit to San Miguel de Allende, or SMA as the locals call it. Being part Mexican, I have spent time in Mexico growing up and this provided many issues for me. As cultures are, this one has its own character and can, unfortunately, be marked by machismo and separation. Growing up I was a “gringa”, an american, so that even visiting relatives never felt familiar. I was taught to be very cautious of people in this large, over-populated city who might want to steal, beg or even kidnap others. I was taught that Mexico, and life, were required being guarded because life could be dangerous, unhealthy, and certainly untrustworthy.
As such, I have learned to be cautious in life: when I lived in Los Angeles and when I visited Mexico I always locked my doors, kept my purse very close to me and glared at strangers who might breach my personal space, let alone smile at me. Truly this closed and cautious mode was hightened still further when visiting Mexico.
My husband, Kris, and I began taking students to the Mayan Caribbean ten years ago, and I quickly saw that this area in Mexico was clean, safe and that I could relax, let my guard down. After all, there are a ton of tourists here, which means that it is basically a safe area, the proof being in all the people I see walking around! I’ve fallen in love with the Mayan Caribbean, how could I not? I have found that I have strong ties to this area that tug at me and open to me.
On a spiritual path, of course, I have taken steps in my self-healing, allowing myself to see as much as possible that was out of my flow and bringing that back into my flow. Yet some pockets within can only be healed through life. And life now finds me here in SMA.
Our month-long trip has been a healing life journey for me. I have come to see that my upbringing messages were meant to protect me, but that they were not completely clear. During this month I have experienced only helpful, nice people. Whether we are asking for directions or asking about lodging, people with very few exceptions, have been people. There is no reason for them to be unkind or opportunistic; instead they have been people living their own lives.
SMA itself has been beautiful and has opened its arms to us. The energetic vortex here has been fabulous, helping one connect with the energy of their Self. Everything has been warm and friendly – the weather, the food, the crickets at night.
I have seen myself, through my fabulous month here, open more in ways I didn’t think were possible. I have seen myself come to a more comfortable level with life, taking the trust to a deeper level yet.
My trip was topped off with an invitation to see a film last night. The film was a documentary, “Lost & Found in Mexico” by Caren Cross. It is a great film exploring why so many ex-pats come to SMA to make a new life for themselves. It was a great film that truly found that many people found the space and time to discover who they truly are, here in SMA. Imagine that! Even the movie was about people finding their life healing here.
What a wonderful thing. When we heal this way in life we can’t help but increase our connection to Source Energy and to improve the energy that we then attract and manifest from. The women who came to the Ladies Intensive, a five day manifesting workshop I lead, had a fabulous time and are feeling the magic of SMA and their Source, as am I. The magic has been so grand that we have planned our next journey to SMA for New Years, when we’ll bring students here and take them on a day trip to Teotihuacan.
So life healing really is in the air. As such, for the new friends that I made, the healing that was done, the wonderful women’s workshop I led and the time with my husband and daughter, I am truly greatful and more healed.
