The Day I Knew

It came as a complete surprise to me, and to her.  I was just standing at my kitchen sink, washing some dishes.  Suddenly I felt pain stabbing through my lower abdomen.  It was so intense, I thought I might faint.  It was not typical for me to feel this kind of pain this way, and I wondered what could be happening.  I realized that it felt like severe menstrual cramps, the likes of which I had never experienced in my life.  I didn’t even have mild cramps like this in decades.  Suddenly I had the “knowing” that this was not my own pain I was experiencing.  Before my mind could comprehend logically what was happening, my intuition was taking over.  This was my nanny, Dee.  I ran to her bedroom to find her lying in bed, groaning in pain.  I was led to tell her what was coming to me.  I said, “This might seem strange, but I think if I put my hands on you until I feel the pain leave my own body, it will take your pain away.”  And I did.  And it DID.  She stood up and said, “That was a miracle!.”  We looked at each other in amazement.

That was the first time it happened, but it never stopped happening.  With every person and every situation, it has been very different.  Sometimes the healing is of physical symptoms, sometimes anxiety, sometimes hormonal imbalances, and even infections.  Usually my messages come in visual messages of pictures and words along with sensory messages of a feeling in my body.  I am often given the words to share.  At times, when it is called for in someone’s healing, I am given to be used to share specific messages from loved ones who have moved on.  And when I put my hands on them, the recipients of the healing often feel the sensation of heat or energy moving, often accompanied by relief of symptoms both physical and emotional.  These healing experiences come through, and I somehow became a vessel, a conduit for them.  It took many years for me to feel comfortable enough to share this fact with the people I meet, but it has become such a blessing to see that this gift is helpful to so many.  One thing I learned from a great mentor of mine is that the most important thing a healer can do is “get out of the way”, and this is what I do.  Allow for what comes through.  And remember to be thankful for it always.
