I had never really thought about blogging before but I wanted to share this experience with you. Just recently, I was writing a commentary in my by-weekly newsletter, 'The Art of Healing'. the subject was a Healing Resolution, in which I challenged my readers to commit to healing certain aspects of themselves that may be causing blockage on their path to greatness.Well, the next night I wanted to do some crystal healing on myself and I was a little perplexed about what stones to use. I chose Lapis Lazuli because I felt the need for some Spiritual Wisdom. As I lay there I asked this beautiful stone to talk to me and I immediately began to feel uncomfortable. At this point I wanted to rush the session and get to the good stuff. Then my Lapis friend said to me, "Be patient, stop trying to control." So there I lay allowing the wisdom of my own words, my healing resolution, to saturate my Spirit. The next morning I began to really study the word patience and as I said it over and over I kind of liked the way it whispered off my tongue. Then came another revelation. I realized that over the last few years in this fast paced, get-it-right-now society, I had not been practicing much patience (ahhh, see how good it feels to say it). With the day-to-day hustle I had often been impatient with my family, my work, and myself. Always feeling like things needed to come faster or be better. What did patience actually mean to me? Patience is knowing that if I'm not where I want to be ir's because I am exactly where I'm suppose to be. Patience is nurturing and loving those around me, even myself. Patience is understanding that EVERYTHING has it's own time and it's own space. Patience is a peaceful and balanced state of mine, trusting in the Divine possibility. Oh how sweet is healing! Oh how sweet is patience. ASE!
