We all face doubts, fears, and deep insecurities about our lives.
So do I.
Lying in the bed next to my fast asleep husband, the love of my life, I was in deep contemplation, listening for truth.
I decided to be open to the truth, whatever it was, and however it needed to reveal itself. It was a moment stripped of defenses and without the slightest bracing with fear. I gave up all need to control what was to happen. Just truth.
Quietly and naturally, I felt a sense of deep well-being. It came from a source that my soul knew and trusted. It felt natural and easy. It confirmed itself.
I knew in that moment, that I was accompanied by something other than my lone self. No matter where my thought travelled, there was an underlying sense of wellness accompanying me. There was no voice, no message, and no suddenness whatsoever. It merely occurred to me that I was not alone and the accompanying presence I was in, made me feel like everything was wonderful. I felt cared for.
I didn’t ‘ask for anything. I wanted the experience to last but felt it was representing a truth that would always be true regardless of my cognizance of it in lucid moments such as this.
It gave me a gift of the feeling I get from Psalm 23, “The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.” Whenever I pray with these versus, I feel unalone.
The visit lingered momentarily as I received the gifts of comfort and assurance and wellness. It’s all I ever need or want.
I locked the gifts into my heart while simultaneously reminding myself not to grasp or feel loss since I knew I wouldn’t be able to hold onto the feeling. Nor would it linger.
The experience had come through an opening. In this opening, there was a visit from the Beloved, divine One, where I was given a brief view of the beautiful reality underlying all that is. My response is to feel immense gratitude and to treasure the visit as a very real one. And to accept the reminder of a true reality, beyond our human experience, where we are free, happy, loved, and forever well.
I know this stillness and reality embraces you too.
