The brightness of your 2500 stories #30BrighterDays

    WOO WOO WIERDO POST ALERT, DAD AND OTHER LOVING SKEPTICS.

    Somehow I’ve always known that I wouldn’t be able to even begin to take-in the power of LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER until I could step away from it entirely.

    Yesterday, one year almost to the day of the project finale, I received a gift from friends of a session with intuitive coach/guide Thea Sullivan. As one part of our session, Thea took me through an energy clearing meditation. You probably know the experience of guided meditation; deep breathing, relaxation, and imagery.

    Well I breathed out a craplot of people-pleasing. Plenty more needs exorcising, believe me, but I blew out enough of that perfectionist soul-sludge to make room for what happened next.

    Thea asked me to imagine a big sphere of light in my arms over my head. Coincidentally or not, I use this image in yoga regularly–one that came intuitively and so powerfully for me that I actually drew a picture of it in my journal years ago. This was only one of several remarkable moments of synergy I experienced with her.

    Next, she told me to picture that light as a magnet calling back all my good energy from the universe–the bits and pieces of myself I’ve given to others through creativity, work, family, community, service– to rejoin the energy ball above my head. Thea described it as an energetic homecoming; the ball grows bigger, more complete, more whole.

    Instantly, 2500 sparks of light–your stories– rushed at me. I began to receive. I wept.

    I didn’t know I needed this. Thankfully, my friends did. Maybe you do too.
