INTO THE MYSTIC
Recently, I received the news from my neurosurgeon that I will need another brain surgery to remove two more cavernous malformations on my cerebellum, in approximately a year from now. The last time surgery was necessary, without much warning, due to bleeding in my brain. SO…. now that I am aware of what’s going on and there is still time to spare, I began a healing journey last week in Sedona. I took a Qi Gong class and sat in the center of a healing ceremony. A friend that I stayed with took me to visit a mystic for a private session. It was, by far, the best experience I have had…. very magical and beautiful. As we pulled into his driveway, we were greeted by a huge raven, so we were off to a good start! The session took place in a room that overlooked the gorgeous red rocks. We did a lot of energy work and meditation. He studied and read my hands, giving me some very interesting and positive information. The time we spent together goes beyond anything that I could describe in words. - After the session, I played the piano for his wife while he prepared a dinner for us. We ate mung with raisins and pistachio and something that resembled a pop tart, all accompanied with hot, bengal spice tea. He is from India and the evening felt like I had left the country and entered his native world, it was amazing. LOVE, LOVE, LOVED it!! I came home with renewed energy and a new practice.
This was truly the highlight of my journey in a week full of wonderment.
In the late evening I sat on the porch, where I was staying, and listened to the Native American ceremony taking place nearby. I could hear their chanting and drumming in the distance. I was told that the elders were blessing the land in that area.
I am aware that a lot of folks laugh off the healing properties of vortexes and the “woo woo” ideas and practices of earth medicine. I am not one who believes it is hocus- pocus. I feel the connection. ~”A part of everything and everything a part of me”~
There was an artist’s open studio tour over the weekend and I managed to make it to three out of twenty-something studios. It was fun. I also looked at some houses while I was there and found the area where I want to live in (FINALLY!). We have been looking for SO LONG. We need to be in a hippie place with lots of artists and trippy people. I was fortunate to be there when people had their houses and studios open, so I was able to dig a little deeper into the nooks and crannies of the city. We have been waiting for the opportunity to relocate permanently to Sedona and it appears that it will be happening before too long. My hubby’s new job may require that we move there sooner than we thought was possible.
