Change is good
As human beings, we're brought up on the notion of "Fear change because we have no idea what is going to happen!" - it's the typical thing of us liking to be in control and as soon as we let go of the control, we freak out. Sound familiar?
As you know, today I started my first week of doing something different and out of my usual routine of the past 8 years. I started studies full time and on campus on the Monday and Tuesday and tomorrow I go back to work until Friday. Surprisingly, this change (so far and of course it's early stages), has been fantastic! Meeting new people, having a different schedule, going somewhere different (for non-Sydney siders, there is generally an aversion for people living on either side of the harbour bridge to cross it - I live on the "south" side of the bridge, so as my institute is on the "north" side of the bridge, you can imagine what a step in the right direction that was for me), finishing up before 4pm (WHAT?! No way! I have HOURS to spare...). What can I say - it's great and I'm really enjoying it!
Good things come when you let go of the past - you make room for something new to come in. For me, it's making new friends. Now a lot of you who know me know that I often "complain" about knowing a lot of people and not having enough time for them - so now I know a bunch more of people and I can see that with some of them we're going to have long friendships. This new bunch are so refreshing - we're on the same page in terms of fitness, what we are studying, our personalities as well as being open to learning what else is "out there". Our group is small - there's 10 of us, and most of us are very outgoing and found it very easy to mix and mingle with each other. During breaks and at lunchtimes we very easily just sit together in the kitchen and talk about random stuff. Then during class if one of them wants to stretch out then they do and no one really cares. We all come from such vast and diverse backgrounds but somehow we just gel and we like having fun - so a LOT of our class is actually full of laughter (I mean.. who the hell plays pictionary on WHS issues and infectious diseases?!).
So today my "energy healing" came out. One of the girls was saying that her knee was in pain so I did my usual hands on stuff and she could instantly feel some stuff going on. She herself can work on chakra levels but she needs to really be in the zone and massage a person first before she can see "colours". From those colours she knows what chakras are out. As I was working on her, I realised that the cause of her issue was her inability to move forward with a male presence in her life - when I told her that, she confirmed it. Afterwards, I was asked to help one of the other guys who also had knee issues, but his issue seemed to stem more from tightness of the muscles rather than anything emotional. Similarly, one of the other girls had tripped over and sprained her ankle yesterday so I worked on that too. During that time, I experienced her throat chakra opening up and clearing so I told her and she seemed to know what I was talking about - this was similar to when I worked on another one of the students who had internal rotation of his shoulders. I was doing my usual hands on thing when all of a sudden I received a big tug of my hair (my guides normally tug my hair gently to signal the issue has been resolved) so my hands quickly flew off him. He told me later that he was in a meditative state and something huge was about to be revealed to him when I took my hands off and he came back to reality hahaha. The good thing about today was that it gave me some confidence that I'd be able to at least help my new client who is coming tonight because I was freaking out over the past couple of days! New client! Argh!!
In any case, I'm glad I took the plunge and decided to go full time study and part time work because at this point in time, it feels great! There may or may not be some hiccups down the road but I know it's the right path and as I tell everyone else, the Universe will only give me things that I can handle :)
