after my visit to Albany, NY July 6, 7, 2012, I write
In November, 2008, I arrived in Crestone, CO, with my left knee in horrific pain, to participate in a six day program, Journey of Profound Healing (JOPH), created and led by my mentor, Her Holiness Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi. Sai Maa facilitated each of us (20 women) to reclaim our freedom from slavery to our personal stories of oppression, victimhood, illness, depression, of lifelong issues. One-by-one Maa focused on each of us as we worked through our emotional, physical, mental and/or spiritual scars and fears. For me it was a week of rediscovering the vibration of love that heals—by the end I painlessly climbed stairs and sat cross legged. But not before I got face to face with following in my mother's footsteps... surgically removing seven organs from my body from a place of fear. I got aware and gave voice to the atrocities Western medicine and I had done to the body called Irene, the home of my Soul. I reclaimed living my life from love. I told Maa I surrendered to God, to Love. I became my healer. It truly was profound.
After 6 days, I left the Journey pain-free, full of the bliss of forgiveness and unconditional love filling every morsel of my being. I assumed that I was done looking at illness and disease as a deterrent to realizing my purpose for this life.
I was wrong. Being complete is in the moment, being free and surrendering to love is a moment-to-moment awareness, day-to-day. I have spent these last 3-1/2 years cleansing my physical, mental and emotional bodies of toxicity and recuperating my financial well-being.
Finally, this past weekend I was again with my beloved Sai Maa and 750 others as we addressed Chaos to Clarity. Again I was reminded: practice, practice, practice like an Olympic athlete to maintain my awareness of living in the vibration of divine mother for myself and others. It depends first on my being the beneficiary of daily practices. I claim every day -- I am a child of God, I am loved. I love fully.
I am a beginner in surrendering to love. At age 65, I am still learning. I am aware, I choose, I decide, I act for the good of my higher self. I am grateful for the reminder that life is a precious gift of realizations and awareness of loving myself and others. Thank you to all who shared your questions and concerns, you gave voice to my silent questions and concerns.
Om JaI Jai Sai Maa.
