The most amazing thing
happened tonight. It was a profound demonstration
that no matter what happens, we should never jump to conclusions based
on past experience but just allow events to unfold and be revealed in
their own time. The law of the universe, cause and effect, has the
ability to put the pieces of this puzzle called Life together in ways
that we may not understand immediately but when we have faith in the
process, that things are working out behind the scenes, and that more
will be revealed, we are able to reap all of the benefits and blessings
available to us when we remove expectations from the equation and
put aside limitations from a previous perspective.
It was 7 p.m. and not one person had
yet shown up for the circle, which was unusual, to say the least. It
wasn’t raining or windy and there was no apparent reason or explanation.
Our first impulse was to think that if no one came in about 10 minutes,
we would leave but then, after discussing it, we realized that many
times people come late for one reason or another and that it would not
be wise to make such a hasty decision without more information. We
would, in fact, be making an assumption with incomplete data. So we
waited.
About 10 minutes later, a car pulled
up and a friend, who is also a reiki master, whom we had not seen in
months and never expected to see on this particular night, got out. He
brought a lady friend who was experiencing dental pain and “needed reiki”.
We chatted for a few minutes and spoke about what was going on in her
life and how it related to the law of attraction and one’s ability to
keep an attitude of gratitude, especially when our perception dictates
otherwise. I showed her a paper that I had written earlier in the day
called “Gratitude will set you free!”
“Here, this is for you. I didn’t
know it at the time but I am certain now that you are the reason I wrote
this today.”
She took the paper and was amazed at
how much the exact words were meant for her, at that very moment. We
then proceeded with a short meditation and OjimaReiki session, followed
by some empowering affirmations. The two of them left, full of gratitude
that they had been in the area, stopped by to see us, and received such
loving, compassionate energy. It was awesome.
Gilbert and I looked at each other
and smiled and recalled that before, when we had the OjimaReiki & Gifts
center, there were times when only one person showed up for a session
and invariably, afterwards, we knew the reason – that whomever was there
was supposed to be there because at that moment in time that person
required special attention. That’s why nobody else came until later. The
universe knew and the law of attraction was at work.
The same thing happened again
tonight. Within seconds after those two people thanked us and left, two
more people showed up, then another and another, etc. For one reason or
another, everyone else came late on this night, so that we could have
the private time necessary to devote to the first two who came. Of
course, we had no way of knowing or anticipating what the universe had
in store. We were not privy to its plan.
The only thing we are certain of
now, is that if we had left early, we would have interrupted the process
by not allowing the events to unfold naturally. And if we had done that,
we would never have experienced the profound demonstration of the Law at
work and we would have displaced every other person’s experience of that
night merely by not having the patience and the confidence to “know”
that everything is Perfect and works out perfectly in its own time when
we get out of the way and don’t interfere or impose our will on
circumstances that occur unexpectedly.
This was a powerful session! We and
everyone else who attended felt the energy and we truly are grateful for
the abundant blessings we continue to experience on this journey called Life!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL; SEE YOU ON DEC. 3RD.
