Going Back to My Roots

I knew that I was home when…

The scenery shifted from dry Highveld grasslands to rolling green hills. An air of mystery came alive. The mist and light Spring rain descended upon us while we cruised along the winding mountain pass. Cows strolled leisurely on the road before us, forcing us to slow down – a clear signal that to adjust to the relaxed pace of rural life. I was greeted with the all too familiar scents of indigenous forests, sugar cane fields, wild flowers and cow dung when I rolled down the car window. We passed a group of little kids collecting piece of burnt sugar cane that fell from a slow moving truck – just the way I used to when I was young. These scenes capture what life was like in rural KwaZulu Natal during the early years of my life. Each time I return to these parts, a space in my heart opens. Feeling so connected to bygone times, my childlike sense of wonder is reawakened.

 I felt so blessed because…

I got to spend my weird and wonderful family, with my gran, catch up with my cousins and reminisce about our childhood. We gathered together as a family to honour and celebrate the memory of my grandfather and aunt who passed on a few years ago. It was an emotional, but beautiful experience – packed with great food, lots of laughs, meaningful moments, long walks and some fun games too. This is the stuff that precious memories are made of.

I was reminded that…

My passion for Mother Nature was inevitable. I was born a to be a flower charmed child and grew into a nature loving soul. My first playground was my grandparent’s jungle-like garden. Almost everything grows well in Eshowe. The humid subtropical climate creates a haven for both plant and animal life to thrive in. So my earliest memories are of running wild among the trees in the orange orchard, climbing the frangipani trees, picking ripe avocados, paw-paws, cherries and bananas, cracking macadamia nuts and picking coffee beans to be roasted. We grew herbs and kept chickens My cousin Justin and I played with frogs, explored the indigenous forests and waterfalls, chased the monkeys, dodged snakes and looked for crabs in the river. We were never bored. My grandmother has been a keen and resourceful gardener and herbalist for as long as I remember. At almost 80 years old, she is still at it – growing flowers, herbs, chillies and making killer pickles and chilli preserves.

 A small moment of Grace showed up when…

I made a bit of personal “pilgrimage” to visit the church that my grandfather built more than 50 years ago. Although the church is no longer being used, I was happy for the opportunity to sit in the pews, say a silent prayer and have a quiet moment of meditation. (more on this in an up coming post)

Guest Post: Meditations with the Three Me’s by Emma Happy Light

Note: Last week I had an amazing Energy healing session with Emma. During the session, I was introduced to the ‘inner me’, the fragile and fearful inner child self who needed lots of love and gentleness. Intrigued by the session, I invited Emma to write about her fascinating insights on the three aspects of the self. 

                                      Guest Post: Meditations with the Three Me’s by Emma Happy Light

My journey of healing began with the healing of others. I had many interesting sessions with my clients, I ran around the room like a crazy person with my sword of fire (On loan from Archangel Michael), battling the scary entities for the sake of my clients. I felt brave yet scared of these dark energies.  During one such session, I grew tired of the fighting. I threw down the sword of fire and sat on the couch (the client sleeping peacefully and unaware). I told the entity, ‘Do your worst, I’ve had enough’. From rearing up in all its dark shadowy glory – it suddenly dissolved into a normal man, but of shadow shades and it asked me, ‘What, aren’t we fighting anymore?’

‘Nope.’ I replied, ‘I’ve had enough. Do your worst. I give up.’

‘Oh.’ It said and we sat peacefully in silence for a few moments.

This seemed odd, so I asked it, ‘why aren’t you attacking me anymore?’

He explained, ‘I am your fear times 10. Whatever negative belief you have, I am obligated to amplify it and reflect it back to you.’ Now this is very interesting, as when I gave up the fight, when I stopped resisting his darkness, the darkness left. It was never there to begin with. I created it by being scared of it. My taught belief system had pre programmed me to be scared of entities / demons / darkness / the ‘shadows’

This entity, it turns out, was a really nice guy. He explained that nothing hurts us without our permission. He showed me that the client wanted him to be there and had subconsciously called to him and created a contract binding him to her. He said he wouldn’t mind leaving, but he still had work to do. I asked him what would happen if I removed him and he shrugged. ‘Well,’ he said ’You will remove me, but not with her permission. She will subconsciously call me back and we will start the cycle again, just a lesser version.’  In parting, he showed me the chord of attachment binding the two of them and put the knowledge into my mind that the chord would only truly be dissolved (permanently, not temporarily like forced chord cuttings) when she was a 100% aware and a willing participant.

This has taken years to process and digest. The result of all this thoughtful chewing has lead me to some behavior that might come across as a little bit loopy. I internalized this information and realized that it is not all out there, but in here. But what is in here?  Just me. Ok, how many me’s?  Just us three. (There are actually many more, but I chose to only focus on the main 3 personalities)

  1. Inner me
  2. The me we see
  3. Upper me

The three of us sit on one single long table. On my far right we find Inner me. On the far left is Upper me. And in the middle, we have the Me we See. We are forever caught on this see-saw, us three.

*Inner Me is scared, sad and angry. She is all the life hardships jam packed together into one energetic little bundle. She is the inner child, her age changing with each situation. She unintentionally hurts ‘the me we see’ with her fear which manifests physically as illness or pain. She creates all the contracts with the entities. The entities are never there without her permission and will only leave when she believes she is safe and also wants this change. The contracts are created during moments of trauma or fright as a child and they play out throughout our lives.  They were her way of protecting us when we needed help. Don’t hate her, she was very brave.
She fights and attacks perceived threats. This is closely followed by hiding under the bed and sucking her thumb. So this shows that she is a fragile vulnerable child. Upper me says all she deserves is love and soft gentle kind attention. She needs to be respected, heard and honored. The Me We See must listen.

*The Me we See has no patience for Inner me. She is annoyed and angry with her. She wants to get on with things. The cognitive mind has read amazing things and imagines that she is so capable and that this stupid energy block (inner me) must be removed at once so that she can get on with being instantly fixed and healed. She is stuck in the middle between beautiful gentle loving wisdom of Upper me and the fear and playfulness of the Inner me. She swings between worlds like a pendulum, sliding from one side of the table to the other.

*Upper me smiles softly and embraces us both, she understands us and is without judgment. She explains that she is part of the network of all living things. She is the connection that we all seek, her higher energy a goal to seek. As when we can feel it, it is euphoric. But she will not take away the lost alone feeling, so searching for the permanent euphoria from an upward source will not help. The three of us together in combined loving energy will accomplish this.

I asked Upper me to explain why it seems to generally be only Inner me, or the me that we see, that is in control of the body / words / actions. She showed me in a vision of Inner me scared and said, ‘When Inner us is scared, you’re sitting closer to her. Why don’t you comfort her?’
‘But why can’t you help? The Me we See asks
‘We are a jury, the highest vote wins. You are caught up in her fear, you feel your heart racing. Therefore you relate more strongly to her than to me. That means that I have been outvoted and the behavior that follows will be the result of her leading. 2 out of 3 wins hands down every time. Patience. With practice and over the years to come, Inner us will calm down. As long as she is paid enough loving attention.

Oh ai, this topic is very detailed and complicated. I am trying to simplify something that I have been channeling for 3 years. The easiest way to understand this is to see me in person or to book a skype session. Because it is absolutely guaranteed that during your session, Inner you will pop up out of the woodwork. She will introduce herself and will have a lot to say. She has been ignored for too long now. We will honour and respect her and only do what she is willing to do, as we can not force a healing on the inner you if she doesn’t want it.

Sometimes I feel like the aim of life is to learn how to love both sides equally, so that the table that we 3 share is shorter and we sit close to each other holding hands. Teamwork. Team me.

Guest Post: My Life, My Miracle by Radhika (Radzy) Cassidy

Today’s guest post is from  Radzy Cassidy. I met Radzy via facebook last year when we both did Doreen Virtue and Radliegh Valentine’s Certified Angel Card Readers Course. She is such a bright, loving and intuitive soul. I am always inspired by how this young lady has embraced her spiritual path and serves others by shining her light and spreading love. Here is what she had to share:

My Life, My Miracle

As soon as I had been asked to write a small article for the blog, it put me in a tizzy. It’s been about a year and a half since I started following the path I am on today. In this article today, I would like to talk about the beginning of my journey. Many childhood influences including my parents’ have helped shape what I am today, but I believe that the last year has been extremely instrumental in shaping me most. As a graduate from a school of Entrepreneurship and going into a possible Doctorate in Economics, I suddenly found life had other plans for me. My Master’s courses were definitely NOT what I was looking for from life and suddenly my ordered and calm life was in a riot. I did not know which way to go or what to do. The Masters classes continued and it further led me to believe that I was not going the path I was meant to. Earlier in the summer that year, I chanced upon browsing some angel card decks by Doreen Virtue in a friend’s home and was intrigued. When I got the chance in a few months after returning home and during my Master’s course I picked up a few of the decks in a bookshop. Not knowing what to do, how to read, what to expect, I simply started on my journey. If you ask me today on how I found my first ever angel reading page on Facebook, the answer is I don’t have a clue.

Jodi, asked me to describe a spiritual lesson from my life, and honestly I haven’t a clue what I can write about. All I can say is be open to the journey. If you asked me two years ago, I would have laughed and probably dismissed this whole idea of offering healing services and readings. But today, I see this as my present and future too. I see Energy healing as an important part of my life. And the only way I see this is because, I know I can do it. The lesson in life is to do something that your heart knows you can do. It is about getting rid of all those extra elements that do not believe in you. But more than that, it is about being open. I feel, so many of us are so happy doing things we do not like to do. And we become so comfortable doing those. And I think this whole idea of comfort, takes away our ability to do something extraordinary. So if I had to give you a lesson today, I would say, do something that makes your heart sing and makes you uncomfortable too. Or rather, makes people around you uncomfortable.

This whole journey for me has put me in such an amazingly uncomfortable place. Where I do not have any “job” yet and I have no idea when I will be professionally able to offer my services. After having finished school and sitting at home with my parents, I am pursuing something that I love. I laugh at how uncomfortable people get when asking me questions. It’s just the fun of it. So if, you have to do something, DO IT. If it challenges your planned and ordered and calm life, all the more reason you should do it. Life is about having fun, enjoying every bit of it. Learning and living is my mantra. There is no time for a sad moment.  People who make you believe that life is full of responsibilities, and tough moments, haven’t really got the hang of it. Life is meant to sing and to dance. To do what you love doing. It is important to remember that we are all children of the Light and only in this world for a limited amount of time. Our bodies have an expiry date, our Soul doesn’t. We grow, we learn and we live this life. We learn our lessons, enjoy the good times and remember that the Spirit is in all of us; in the plants, in the trees, in the animals, lakes, oceans and mountains. We are not different from one another. We are One.

And with this, I end my blog for today. Life is in your eyes, in your heart and in your hands. You have the ability to make the most of every moment you have. Do not believe in anything otherwise.

Brightest Blessings.

Radzy
