Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out.

Sometimes they just need a little nudge,

a little direction,

a little support,

a little coaching,

and the greatest things can happen.

It is a gift when others see in us what we don’t always see in ourselves. It is a gift that can sometimes be difficult to receive. But before I focus on the difficulty, I want to share my gratitude for Mike’s direction, support and coaching this past weekend at the Spring into Wellness event. He invested his Saturday in me and Lux Eterna Healing. He comfortably shared his story with people who stopped by the table, took a genuine interest in some of the talks being offered and opened himself up to what I would refer to as “my world”. He stood by my side and silently cheered me on. I was nervous to put myself and my business “out there” because my comfort is in the healing work I do with my clients, not trying to convince others they need to see me. I was even a bit more nervous to have Mike there simply because he is so comfortable in these kinds of situations and I certainly didn’t want to embarrass myself in front of him. All in all, the day was a beautiful success with many people stopping by the table and me feeling completely comfortable. I melted when Mike complimented my style of connecting with those who stopped and his surprise and awe of how the day unfolded. It was such a gift.

 

Interestingly enough, the fair also opened my eyes to another perspective. A friend stopped by the Lux Eterna table and it was apparent that things were a bit off with her and her family. I checked in with her after the event and as the conversation unfolded, she was able to honestly say that she is currently unable to receive what I am offering. I completely understood what she was saying, but I found myself wrestling with it a bit on Monday morning. I realized that her struggle with receiving was reflecting back to me how I have been struggling with receiving universal support/support from Spirit. I have been asking for guidance and direction in regards to Lux Eterna Healing and my piano teaching studio. I’m finding myself to be in a place of struggle around how things are going to take shape. I know I’m in the midst of a shift and find myself getting uncomfortable with not knowing what it’s going to look like, when it’s going to happen, what impact it will have and all of the other juicy things that go along with it. I needed to be reminded that I, too, need to be able to receive.

 

All of this intertwines with a daily blog from the Center for Action and Contemplation, which is currently exploring the force of three and shifting perspective. I’m beginning to see that I need to affirm my vision for growth both as a healer and for Lux Eterna Healing and deny the fears that I have been experiencing. I need to allow for the cheerleading, if you will, from Spirit and trust in Divine time. I need to be able to see in me what other people do, give myself the nudge, a little direction, a little support and see what amazing things can happen when I let the inner power out. When the moments come and I struggle to offer that to myself, I need to remember that I never walk alone. I am never my own sole supporter. Not only do I have the spiritual support, but I am surrounded by Mike, my family and friends who will give me the encouragement I need. It requires vulnerability on my part, but it is worth it. Even when I was vulnerable enough to express my fears about the upcoming fairs in a recent blog, my brother reached out to me, offering support and encouragement. It was exactly what I needed…and I was more than able to receive it. His email reminded me of our interconnectedness and the support that exists simply because he could see in me what I was struggling to see for myself.

 

Not only do I continually hope to see the natural power and light within myself to unleash, but I hope to see and offer the same for all whom I come into contact with. In return, I hope they, too, can see the natural power and light within those around them and encourage it to be released. Support the light and power within others instead of squelching it in order to feed fear.
