Answering Your Call

At least one point during our lives, I believe we all receive that ‘call to action‘ by our spiritual entourage - our Guardian Angels and Guides, and/or God/Spirit/Source - whatever- ultimately, it’s all the coming from the same place.  Many of us hear it, but choose to ignore it.  Many of us are floating through life on auto-pilot, with eyes closed and iPod’s blasting so loudly in the ears that they wouldn’t hear a thing Heaven might be trying to get through… and they don’t even notice the Divine communication.  Many of us hear it, but don’t understand what to do, or how to do it, and resist with fear over the changes necessary to make that don’t fit into their original life design.  Others, like myself, heard it loud and clear… weren’t quite sure what to do next, or how to make the changes, but discovered that by surrendering and just allowing, Heaven took care of ALL of the details.

And it can be SUPER scary.  Whoa.

When Heaven has a plan for you, and you say, ‘Ok, bring it on.’, be prepared for massive shift in your life.  It will look like nothing you could have possibly envisioned for yourself in your wildest dreams… and it will come with some growing pains… major growing pains… but in the end when you are where you are supposed to be, there is a level a peace within that just can’t really be described with words.  It’s a feeling that I hope all of us can attain at one point in our lives.

The Call

For me, it looked like this.  I had recently been attuned into reiki Level 1 about 8 weeks earlier.  After being attuned I would sit in my walk-in closet and give myself reiki treatments.  After a while, I noticed that I was receiving visions while in this meditative state as the energy was flowing.  I would see what I can only equate to massive light shows, of all colors.  Sometimes I would see what seemed to be little vignettes of old world movies.  ( I later came to understand and recognize that I was connecting very deeply within my subconscious and past life memories were bubbling up to the surface. )  Sometimes I would see angels, other spiritual beings, and people that I didn’t know.

One evening, I sat in my closet minding my own business, giving myself a reiki treatment.  I was in a VERY peaceful state of mind.  My hands were heated up placed on my body and I was just sitting there in the dark, with my eyes closed, a million miles away, when all of a sudden there was a massive flash.  It was like I was sitting in the middle of a dark sports stadium and all of the lights went on at once, except many times more powerful.  Or it was as if there were a thousand cars surrounding me, and they all turned their brights on at the count of 3.  The light was SO bright… it was SO SO SO bright as I sat there in my dark closet, with my eyes closed, that by reflex I squinted my closed eyes and turned my head!  WOW!  I opened my eyes and I kind of just sat there… thinking… “whoa… what was THAT?”

Also, while this was happening, I heard a strange noise in my head.  It was somewhat the same noise as the old VCR’s in fast forward.  Remember when you would be watching a video tape and you would be fast forwarding through and the sounds you hear are really high pitched squeaks and blips?  Well, that is what I heard in my head.

Dazed and Confused - Dude… Where’s my car?

Afterwards, I just sat there in a total daze… like I was drunk and had fallen down and needed a minute or two to get my bearings back in order before getting up.  Something was different though.  I had this information in my head that I didn’t know of prior to going into the sacred closet.

…from dazed and confused and ‘losing my car’ to “Here is your Life Purpose… now GO FOR IT.”

Afterwards, I couldn’t stop thinking about this business in my head.  It kept going round and round and round in my mind.  I saw this huge business called The Reiki Spa.  It was a massive healing center.  I saw it spanned over the globe in a number of different locations, including Sedona, Hawaii, California, Australia, and a few others.  I saw everything about the company and how it was structured.  I saw myself (older though) standing behind a podium giving a speech and I said, “…for within bright white light lies every color of the rainbow…”.

Well, suffice it to say, I knew what I was supposed to do right then.  I had no clue how to go about it, but I knew what I was supposed to do.

The Process

Throughout the next two and a half years, I asked for divine guidance, divine intervention, divine communication, divine EVERYTHING!  I was dialing 911 to Heaven quite often it seemed, because I felt like I was in a massive state of chaos.  Everything seemed to be falling apart… my relationship worse than ever, even friendships, my career, my finances, my health (I picked up more colds than I had in 2 years)  Well, in hindsight, what was taking place, was actually the Universe preparing me for my role in what was to come and eliminating that which no longer served me.  I had healing to do on very deep emotional levels, spiritual levels, and mental levels that I didn’t even know about.  I would go through these massive depressions out of the blue… and typically I’m not a depressed person.  Come to find out, they were what we call ‘healing crisis’s’.  On a very deep emotional level, goop I had been carrying around for decades, and quite possibly lifetimes, was bubbling to the surface to be washed away.

Endings and New Beginnings

For those of you who are familiar with tarot, I could only equate my life to that horrible, yet equally as beautiful card… the Tower!  My world on SO many levels was hit by Heaven’s might and as I had so unknowingly built this kingdom on a foundation of sand… it was all coming down.  Have you ever thrown a fistful of glitter in the air and then tried to catch every piece as it is falling to the ground?  Yeah… that was what Heaven did to me, in order to get my ass moving in the direction I came here for.

The Divine Message to GO NOW.

Whoa.  It hurt.  And to be honest… it still hurts.  But I know with time, and continued focus in surrendering to what is meant to be, by holding the Faith in Heaven and trust that I know Heaven has the helm… I will come out of this stronger than ever.  I realized in January of ‘09 that my home in Phoenix, my relationship, my career, many friendships… all crumbling at the same time.  None of this was serving me any longer and I had a flash in my head that now is as good of time as any to go where I’ve always wanted.  Now is the time that I can start fresh on EVERY level.  Going through bankruptcy, foreclosure, ending of a relationship, lost of a career and income, and loss of close friendships… I know this was Heaven’s way of getting me to shake my groove thang and get on with what I came to this world to do this time around!

FOCUS!

A big issue of mine, I have really come to realize through this time of self reflection and understanding Who I AM from the very core… is FOCUS.  When I find myself in one of those days where I can’t help but wallow in my self pity, and wonder about all of the what if’s, or woulda, coulda, shoulda’s… I have to LITERALLY force myself to pick up my red phone to Heaven… dial 911 again… and CRY for help!  I have to force myself to sit quietly and just let the other side do what it wants nothing more than to do for us… help us.. lift us to the Light… bring us to a level of peace within.  It stops my spinning out of control.  It stops my self defeating ego from bashing me with that woulda coulda shoulda etheric Louisville Slugger.

From an ending like the Tower card to a fresh new start…my new Tropical Garden within.

So I heeded my call.  I moved to Maui.  My most favorite place on Mama Earth.  Mama Maui has been very good to me.  Blessing me with a gorgeous place to live an instant brothers of the soul.  I’m here to do what they have instructed me to do and with their guidance and my physical presence… nothing can stop us from creating something so wonderful for so many people.  The Reiki Spa is being created in divine timing, starting with beautiful 3 and 5 day spiritual retreats where we will teach people how to change their lives in ways they couldn’t even possibly dream.  These will consist of healing meditations, training/hands on training/teaching of Reiki Level 1 and 2.  I will do an Angel Initiation Attunement that will open you up to seeing and hearing your guardian angels and guides more clearly.  We will incorporate a hike to a sacred location with Goddess Pele’s blessing and appearance.  We will incorporate dolphin and whale tours as the dolphin and whale energies are such a huge healing presence for people to draw and learn from!  Be ready and spread the word!  Lot’s of excitement out here on this gorgeous healing island!

I’m living/walking/sometimes hiding from/but yet trusting my Sacred Journey.  It doesn’t come without fear.  It doesn’t come without a screaming ego.  The most important piece when on this road with Heaven, is to hold the Faith and maintain solid Trust while putting one foot in front of the other and most importantly BELIEVE in yourself.
