It’s all good.

One of the things I wrote about in the last issue was about an unpleasant session I had with a visiting psychic.

I felt like what she told me was more careless than helpful and because of that, I likened her words to black magic. Not black magic in the way that she purposely set out to do me harm, but in the way that the words we speak have power, are magical (they can take on a life of their own) and we therefore have to be conscious and responsible about what we say… all of us.

Then, on the flip side, I said we also need to be as conscious about what we accept as truth from other people. Just because someone else says something to you that they think is true, doesn’t mean it is true or that it’s true for you. Perception can be a fickle thing.

This incident really reinforced the importance of honoring my own intuition when choosing people to work with, as I had gone against my gut feeling in this case.

People often ask my opinion on different therapies or practitioners or teachers but I really believe each one of us has to find the right people for ourselves because what’s right for me isn’t necessarily what’s right for you. It’s all about finding the people who can best help you on your journey – and the only person that can determine that is you. One of the best ways you can do that is to follow your intuition.

A few years ago I was at the Body, Soul, Spirit Expo and I wanted to find a good psychic. There were quite a few there so I walked around and observed them all. Then I chose one that felt right for me.

One of the big questions I had was whether my husband and I should buy a home in Fort McMurray. We had just moved there, the prices were extremely high and therefore I chose for us to rent for the first six months. However, as the prices seemed to be continuing to climb, I wondered if we should buy? Yet, I had a lot of anxiety and fear around buying (at totally outrageous and unprecedented prices). I asked the psychic about this and she firmly told me that she thought we should buy.

After a lot more consideration, we did decide to buy the house we were renting and within two years the PRICE almost DOUBLED. Later, when we sold that home to move back to Edmonton, I thanked God every day for that psychic because I can honestly say I’m not sure we would have bought that home if it hadn’t been for her advice.

But, here’s the ironic thing. I feel just as THANKFUL to the last psychic that gave me the upsetting reading. I’d be lying if I said that it didn’t shake me up, BUT it also awakened me. It started me on a journey that allowed me to transform some deeply engrained beliefs that have held me back since childhood, beliefs set deep in my bones. I don’t know if I would have got to them this quickly if it hadn’t been for that reading.

What’s good? What’s bad? Maybe I’ll leave that up to the gods to decide. What I know for sure is that the Universe can transform anything. It is the great alchemist. Even if it wasn’t in my ‘highest good’ to have gone to that last reading, the amazing thing is that the Universe turned it into good – actually, it turned it into GOLD.

For me, that’s so comforting. If I can make mistakes, sometimes pick the wrong people or get temporarily sidetracked off my path and still have the outcome be for my highest good in the end, then really, isn’t it ALL good?
