Training Grounds

This month, as always, has been a big one. I learned about energy, the subtleties of it, and how to read it better with eyes wide open. I was in SF this month during the APEC conference; President Biden and all the major Asian leaders were in tow. It was a high, vibrant, intense time in the city. I had some ideas about why I was in SF this last month. It wasn't what my guides had in store for me at all.

I thought I was in SF, landing business deals for the new year! Instead, it became more of a training ground for my spiritual journey.

In the last few months, but heavily this month, my guides began to regulate my food & drink. They gave me the go-ahead, when, what, and how much I could have at any given time - and I followed.

On top of food, following directions was also a high priority. A friend said it was like the drill sergeant energy of Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid - wax on, wax off for hours at a time. I would drive and walk the city in circles for hours. I was so grateful when I could stop driving my van and just walk. But then the walking tours would drag on for hours, and I would keep circling a city block, fine-tuning my understanding of energy. It started with a head nod - yes or no on where to turn. It upgraded into looking into all four directions and reading the energy of the busy city street - which direction was the way they wanted? I would pick the beautiful street where the light shone brighter. I would ask if I got it right - yes- Awesome! The next layer came in, and I had to read the energetic tunnel of the street - which one had the most power or length? I would ask if I got it correct - yes! Rad. Next layer - a few roads would appear very similar - a hair difference and unclear, which was better. I would have to read what direction was the right one -now. I got some of those right -others not. It was getting hard. I was on a complete guided city tour for a week straight. It was one long, strange trip.

I can relax now because I know someone with way more perspective than I do, who sees the big picture and directs me to what is best. I may have a day where I am pulled out of life- walking in circles for hours, fighting off an energetic hit, holding space for world peace, or the energy is just off. But the next day, I can do what I need - with plenty of energy, balanced by the right food, timing, and flow. On those days, I know all will be fine.
