"We all have lessons to learn in this school called Earth. We need to comprehend completely the concepts of compassion, love, non-violence, non-judgment, non-prejudice, patience, generosity and charity and hope." - Many Lives, Many Masters - Brian L. Weiss, M.D.
I must confess, despite my best efforts to eat well, train daily, practice gratitude, meditate, and pray...I get sick. It hits me literally overnight. I wake up, and boom - I ache like a 90 year old woman, my head feels like it is going to explode, and I am so emotional. I have gone to the doctor's there is nothing physically wrong with me and I am in the best of health. So what gives, until today the pieces didn't fit...but now they do.
For the last year or so, I was getting sick on certain days, or seemed like every three days. It would move from Sunday to Monday, Friday, in really bad times it would last a whole weekend, I tried not to let it stop me from living my day to the fullest, but it is painful, as yesterday was. I woke up this morning and it is as if the sky had open ( indeed it did, it was a new day), I felt calm, pain free and so alive. And then I noticed a pattern, I was ill on the same day last week - and the next day I had been given insight on what the next step in my path would be, today same thing..what came to me today gave me happiness and courage, the words flashed in my mind ....don't control your body, adore it.
Those simple words spoke volumes to me, I have been trying all my life to control my body, how it looks, moves, feels..we all have done this, but my lesson this time on earth, is to not control it, but adore it. By me adoring my body, it will return to it's natural state. It will work with me rather than against me...it deserves all the respect and love in the world, because it is a beautiful creation from God, we only have one in this life time - so treat it well.
On another note, my naturopath suggested I read "Many Lives, Many Masters" by Brian L. Weiss, M.D. When he said this, I rolled my eyes...I just finished telling him that I don't want to read anymore self-help books. He looked at me and said..." this book your ready for, it is life changing, read it." So, like the good little girl I am, I bought it that day ( Tuesday) I was done yesterday. It is not a big book; only 220 pages or so...but the story - blew me away. I am going to re-read it this weekend and make notes, I urge all of you to read this book. This is a prime example of " reading between the lines" - it helped me in the last few days, to understand that - the days that I suffer, is a way for me to gain insight the next day, to repay karmic debt, to grow, to learn and to live..it could not have come at a better time, because I didn't know where else to turn with this pain and the thought of living the rest of my life like this, was just too much to bear. It gave me hope, put a smile on my face and a spring in my step. Buy it , read it, learn from it and grow.
I will leave you with this paragraph in the book where the author paraphrases the mystic Teilhard de Chardin:
" We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." Our bodies are temporary. We are souls. We are immortal; we are eternal. We never die; we merely transform to a heightened state of consciousness, no longer needing a physical body. We are always loved, we are never alone, and we can never be harmed, not at this level.
I see and understand now, through pain, there is healing, through hurt there is love, through the darkness - there is always light, and that is the light you are to this world.
